WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has suggested that his administration would "take a look" at deporting Elon Musk after a feud between the pair reignited in spectacular fashion.As the public war of words between the former political allies escalated on Tuesday, Trump also said that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — which the tech billionaire formerly spearheaded — could review the massive US government subsidies awarded to Musk's businesses, which include Tesla and SpaceX.When asked by a reporter on Tuesday if he was considering deporting Musk, a South African national and a naturalized US citizen, Trump said: "I don’t know, we’ll have to take a look.""We might have to put DOGE on Elon.

Trump warns ‘spoiled’ Japan may not get a US trade deal
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump cast doubt on reaching a trade deal with Japan, a day after threatening higher tariffs on Japanese exports to the United States, claiming the country won’t buy American rice.“We’ve dealt with Japan. I’m not sure if we’re gonna make a deal, I doubt it, with Japan,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday. “They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it’s really hard for them to make a deal.”As July 9, the end of the 90-day pause on Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs,” approaches, US trade partners including Japan are looking to strike deals that they hope will appease the American president. Japanese exports to the US were hit with a 24% levy when Trump launched his global tariff offensive on...

US Senate holds marathon overnight vote on Trump's 'big beautiful bill'
WASHINGTON — The US Senate has held a marathon voting session through the night on a sprawling budget bill that is critical to President Donald Trump's agenda.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act - running to nearly 1,000-pages - includes increased spending for border security, defence and energy production - offset to a degree by cuts to healthcare and food-support programmes.Its fate hangs in the balance as Trump's Republicans - who control both chambers of Congress - remain split over how much to cut welfare programs by as they seek to extend tax breaks.If approved in the Senate, the bill will return to the lower House of Representatives for a final vote before being sent to Trump to be signed into law.Overnight from Monday into Tuesday, senators argued for or against amendments -...

Nearly 12 million estimated to lose health coverage under Trump budget bill
WASHINGTON — A sprawling budget bill in the US Senate could cut health insurance coverage for nearly 12 million Americans and add $3.3tn (£2.4tn) in debt, according to new estimates.The assessment from the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan federal agency, could complicate Republican efforts to pass President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the coming days.The spending plan narrowly cleared a preliminary vote in the Senate late on Saturday after party leaders scrambled to arm-twist hesitant members of their rank and file.One defector, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, announced he would not seek reelection after voting against the president's signature legislation.Democratic lawmakers have led criticism of the bill.

Outrage as Trump compares Iran strikes to Japan atomic bombing
SINGAPORE — Japan has condemned US President Donald Trump for comparing recent US strikes on Iran to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II."That hit ended the war," Trump told reporters on Wednesday. "I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing."About 140,000 people died when the US dropped atomic bombs on the two southern Japanese cities in August 1945. Survivors live with psychological trauma and heightened cancer risk to this day.If Trump's comment "justifies the dropping of the atomic bomb, it is extremely regrettable for us as a city that was bombed," said Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki.Trump's comments are "unacceptable",...
