DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order vowing to use all measures including U.S. military action to defend the energy-rich nation of Qatar — though it remains unclear just what weight the pledge will carry. The text of the order, available Wednesday on the White House’s website but dated Monday, appears to be another measure by Trump to assure the Qataris following Israel’s surprise attack on the country targeting Hamas leaders as they weighed accepting a ceasefire with Israel over the war in the Gaza Strip. The order cites the two countries’...

The announcement came during President Javier Milei's speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday. The firebrand Argentinian leader told the summit that his country's claim to the South Atlantic island was 'legitimate' and 'unrenouncable'. In a fiery speech that could outrage leaders in Downing Street, Milei called on the UK to open 'bilateral' talks over the 'sensitive and crucially important issue' of the so-called 'Islas Malvinas'.

Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory sent shockwaves throughout America and the world. Most of all, it devastated the Democrat Party, which could not accept that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democrats’ anointed next president, had lost to President Trump. We're only now finding out just how panicked the Democrats really were over the prospect of a Trump White House, but two men have for years been leading the charge to expose the dirtiest political trick in American history. And thankfully, they're still on the case. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Democrats sought to tie President Trump to President Vladimir...
