Trump: 2026 World Cup Could End Russia War

Our Reporters02 mins

Donald Trump has suggested playing at the 2026 World Cup could be an “incentive” for Russia to end its war with Ukraine. Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the national football team has been banned from competing at international competitions by Fifa and Uefa. With the conflict in Ukraine still raging – despite Trump’s claims he would end the war on “day one” of being in office – Russia will not be playing at the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico. On Tuesday, the first meeting of the Trump administration’s 2026 World Cup taskforce took place, with Trump speaking to reporters alongside Fifa president Gianni Infantino. The US president was unaware that Russia were banned from the tournament, telling a reporter who asked for his position on the Russia ban: “I didn’t know that, is that right?” “That is right,” said Infantino. “They are banned for the time being from playing but we hope that something happens and peace will happen so that Russia can be readmitted.” Trump then added: “That’s possible. Hey, that could be a good incentive, right? “We want to get them to stop. We want them to stop. Five thousand young people a week are being killed – it’s not even believable.” This isn’t the first time Trump has made questionable statements about the World Cup. Earlier this year, he claimed the political tensions between the US and their co-hosts Mexico and Canada could make the tournament ‘more exciting.’

Our Reporters02 mins

Tiger Woods has confirmed that he is dating the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. Golf legend Woods, 49, also shared photos of himself with Vanessa Trump, 47, who split from the US president’s oldest son in 2018 after 13 years. The photos include one image of Woods and Trump embracing on a hammock. “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” Woods said on his social media channels. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts.” Trump has five children with Don Jr, and her eldest daughter Kai is said to attend the same school as Woods’ children Charlie and Sam. Woods has played golf with the president and the two are said to have been negotiating between the PGA Tour and the owners of LIV, the Saudi breakaway circuit. Woods has been involved in several high-profile relationships, after his marriage to Elin, the mother of his children fell apart because of a sex scandal. Other girlfriends include Lindsey Vonn, the world champion skier, with whom he split in 2015, and Erica Herman. That relationship ended badly when she took him to court after he evicted her from his home. Woods is considered among the greatest golfers of all time. He is ranked joint-first for PGA Tour wins and is second for major championship victories.

Donald Trump sworn in as 47th US President

Our Reporters02 mins

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States as he took the oath of office in a packed US Capitol building on Monday, amid deafening cheers from thousands of his supporters. Vice President JD Vance was the first to take the oath of office, as per convention. Trump received the loudest reaction as he walked to the podium for the swearing-in. Notably, Trump’s inauguration was the first to take place inside the Capitol building in 40 years due to severe cold. “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” he said. The ceremony capped off Trump’s remarkable comeback to the White House for a second term, four years after he departed the city under the shadow of an attack by his supporters on the US Capitol.

Zelensky: War ‘ll ‘end sooner’ with Trump as president

Our Reporters05 mins

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky believed that he is certain the war with Russia will “end sooner” than it otherwise would have once Donald Trump becomes US president. Zelensky said he had a “constructive exchange” with Trump during their phone conversation after his victory in the US presidential election. He did not say whether Trump had made any demands regarding possible talks with Russia, but said he’d not heard anything from him that was contrary to Ukraine’s position. Trump has consistently said his priority is to end the war and stop what he says is a drain on US resources, in the form of military aid to Ukraine. Earlier this year, the US House of Representatives approved a $61bn (£49bn) package in military aid for Ukraine to help combat Russia’s invasion. The US has been the biggest arms supplier to Ukraine – between February 2022 and the end of June 2024, it delivered or committed weapons and equipment worth $55.5bn (£41.5bn), according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research organisation. “It is certain that the war will end sooner with the policies of the team that will now lead the White House. This is their approach, their promise to their citizens,” Zelensky said in an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne. He added that Ukraine “must do everything so that this war ends next year, ends through diplomatic means”. The situation on the battlefield is difficult, with Russian forces making advances, Zelensky said. Trump and Zelensky have long had a tumultuous relationship. Trump was impeached in 2019 over accusations that he pressured Zelensky to dig up damaging information on the family of US President Joe Biden. Despite years of differences, Trump has insisted he had a very good relationship with Zelensky. When the pair met in New York in September, Trump said he “learned a lot” from the meeting and said he would get the war “resolved very quickly”. During the US election campaign, the former president turned president-elect repeatedly pledged to end the war “in a day” – but has yet to divulge how he intends to do so. His Democratic opponents have accused him of cosying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and say his approach to the war amounts to surrender for Ukraine that will endanger all of Europe. Earlier this week, Russia denied reports that a call between Putin and Trump took place days after the latter’s election win, in which the president-elect is said to have warned against escalating the conflict further. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who spoke with Trump following the US election, told German media that the incoming US leader had a “more nuanced” position on the war than was commonly assumed. The German leader was criticised by Zelensky over a phone call with Putin – the first in nearly two years – on Friday. Despite Scholz’s office saying he reiterated his call to end the war, Zelensky said it weakened the Russian leader’s isolation.

Donald Trump wins 2024 US Presidential Election 

Our Reporters04 mins

Donald Trump won the presidential election in a landslide on Tuesday night, with a realigned GOP coalition that, according to early exit polls, successfully drew young, male, and minority voters. “We’ve achieved the most incredible political thing,” Trump said to reporters at his campaign’s headquarters, “Political victory, that our country has never seen before — nothing like this.” In the end, Trump won at least 270 electoral college votes, winning in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, and defying Democratic hopes that Kamala Harris would carry Pennsylvania and Georgia as Joe Biden did in 2020. Trump also looked set to win the popular vote, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to do so in 20 years.  Trump clinched the White House around 2 a.m. ET by winning Pennsylvania by 3% and cracking the so-called Democratic “blue wall,” of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The latter two states had yet to be called at the time of this writing, but Trump maintained solid leads in both.  Polling places in several states were targeted with bomb threats. In DeKalb and Fulton, Georgia, two counties that would have been key to a Democratic win of the swing state, threats caused five polling places to be closed in the final hours of voting, and the FBI uncovered that they appeared to be sent from Russian email domains.  She may have bet too big on one issue: democracy, which came in third – after the economy and immigration – on the list of voter’s concerns heading into the election. Harris’ closing campaign message focused on Trump’s anti-democratic rhetoric – and perhaps not enough on pocketbook issues. Harris also struggled with young Democratic voters, who may have wanted a platform that promised greater policy change – especially on issues like the war in Gaza and climate change – which led to her underperforming in some cities and swing-state college towns.  Meanwhile, Trump’s efforts to appeal to young men – who typically vote at the lowest rates – were highly successful. Another surprise of the night was early exit polling that showed Trump gaining substantially among Latino and Black voters, particularly men.  Trump has a strong mandate and will face few constraints. Republicans won back the Senate and could also win the House in the coming days. Taken together with a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Trump will come into office in an immensely powerful position to implement his vision for America.

US election: Joe Biden wears Trump’s campaign cap

Our Reporters02 mins

President Joe Biden stirred controversy when he wore a red cap belonging to the Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump ahead of the United States, US, Presidential election.  Biden wore the Make America Great Again, MAGA, cap at an event to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. During a visit to firefighters in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, near where one of the four hijacked planes crashed, videos showed the president having a friendly chat with a Trump supporter before they swapped headgear. In the video, Biden offers a Trump supporter donning a campaign cap another hat with the presidential seal on it, saying he would autograph it. The man then asks Biden if he would sign it with his name on it. Responding jocularly, Biden said “I don’t remember my name, I’m slow.” After an exchange about his age, Biden hands the man the autographed cap and offers to trade it for the Trump hat, which he wore briefly, drawing cheers from the crowd. The action immediately drew comments from social media users, with Trump’s campaign thanking Biden for the “support”. But, a statement issued by the White House said Biden’s gesture was a way to underline the unity theme of the day. The deputy White House Press Secretary, Andrew Bates said: “As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap.”
