    President Trump on Wednesday will order the construction of a Mexican border wall the first in a series of actions this week to crack down on immigrants, including slashing the number of refugees who can resettle in the United States and blocking Syrians and others from terror-prone nations from entering, at least temporarily. During an appearance at the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday, Mr. Trump plans to sign an executive order to direct federal funds to be shifted toward the building of a wall on the southern border, a signature promise of his campaign. He has argued that doing so is vital to gaining control over the illegal flow of immigrants into the United States. Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow, Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday night. ...

The new president also signed executive orders to ban funding for international groups that provide abortions, and placing a hiring freeze on non-military federal workers. Trump’s decision not to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) came as little surprise. During his election campaign he railed against international trade deals, blaming them for job losses and focusing anger in the industrial heartland. Obama had argued that this deal would provide an effective counterweight to China in the region. “Everyone knows what that means, right?” Trump said at Monday’s signing ceremony in the White House. “We’ve been talking abou...

    Michelle receiving present from Melania Melania Trump's parting gift to the former first lady set tongues wagging yesterday, not least because of Michelle's priceless reaction to the present. But more intriguing is what was actually in the large box, unmistakably dressed in Tiffany's signature colours. As Melania and Donald walked up the steps of the White House, a gloved Melania carried the box and was quick to present it to Michelle.

Her face said it...
