U.S. and Ukraine Sign Strategic Minerals and Reconstruction Deal The United States and Ukraine have entered into a sweeping economic partnership that includes a long-awaited agreement on the joint ownership and extraction of Ukraine’s natural resources. Announced by the White House on Wednesday night, the agreement aims to support Ukraine’s recovery amid its ongoing war with Russia. The deal, formalized through the newly established United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, allows both nations to co-invest in Ukraine’s natural resource sectors—including critical minerals, oil, and gas—while supporting broader economic rebuilding efforts.

Canadian Voters Re-Elect Liberals Under New Leader Mark Carney Amid Tensions With Trump Canadian voters backed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party in Monday’s national election, according to projections by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). While it remains uncertain whether the Liberals have secured enough seats for a majority, the CBC projected that the party would continue governing — extending its nearly decade-long hold on power. Just months ago, the Liberals appeared vulnerable, with polls showing them trailing the opposition Conservatives amid public discontent over inflation, immigration, and then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s handling of relations with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.…

Jurgen Klopp, the German mastermind behind Liverpool’s recent success, left the club after eight years of triumphs.…

LOS ANGELES — Thursday night delivered the kind of moment the Los Angeles Clippers had envisioned for nearly a decade: a roaring, sold-out arena celebrating the franchise’s first playoff win in its own building. Now leading Denver 2-1 in their first-round series, the Clippers are suddenly looking like a title contender—one no one saw coming. At the heart of this unexpected rise? A Kawhi Leonard renaissance few believed was possible. In recent weeks, Leonard has resembled the elite two-way force the Clippers thought they’d signed back in 2019, just weeks after he claimed his second NBA Finals MVP. But that…

WASHINGTON — Trump-branded gear is already up for sale on the Trump Organization’s website: a “Trump 2028” hat goes for $50, and a $36 t-shirt declares “Trump 2028 (Re-write the Rules).” But rewriting the rules isn’t so simple. The Constitution bars any president from serving more than two terms, and many of Donald Trump’s Republican allies admit a third term would require a constitutional amendment — a near-impossible feat. “He’s not going to run again,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told NBC News. Still, he acknowledged Trump’s strategy: “Don’t underestimate how much he believes any Trump-centric buzz is beneficial —…

Sen. Jon Ossoff Signals Support for Trump Impeachment at Georgia Town Hall Senator Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., expressed support for impeaching President Donald Trump during a town hall held near Atlanta on Friday. Addressing the crowd, Ossoff stated that Trump’s actions “have already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment.” Referring to a recent incident, Ossoff said, “Just 48 hours ago, I saw him granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting President of the United States is effectively selling access in exchange for what amounts to direct payments, it’s unquestionably an impeachable offense.” The White House did…
