Trump celebrates 100 days in office by touting record and blasting foes
US President Donald Trump has celebrated the 100th day of his second term in office with a campaign-style speech, touting his achievements and targeting political foes.
Hailing what he called a “revolution of common sense”, he told a crowd of supporters in Michigan that he was using his presidency to deliver “profound change”.
The Republican mocked his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, and aimed fresh criticism at the US Federal Reserve’s chairman, while dismissing polls that show his own popularity slipping.
Trump has delivered a dramatic fall in the number of migrants crossing illegally into the US, but the economy is a potential political vulnerability as he wages a global trade war.

Trump congratulates Canada’s Carney as they agree to meet in ‘near future’
US President Donald Trump has called Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to congratulate him on his victory in the country’s general election, and the two have agreed to meet in the near future.
The two countries were expected to enter talks about a new economic and security relationship after Monday’s vote.
Trump’s trade tariffs and repeated comments undermining Canada’s sovereignty overshadowed the race, which ended with Carney’s Liberals projected to win a minority government, according to public broadcaster CBC.
In their first call since the election, Trump congratulated Carney on his victory, according to the prime minister’s office on Tuesday.

Xi’s real test is not Trump’s trade war
If you say the name Donald Trump in the halls of wholesale markets and trade fairs in China, you’ll hear a faint chuckle.
The US president and his 145% tariffs have not instilled fear in many Chinese traders.
Instead, they have inspired an army of online Chinese nationalists to create mocking memes in a series of viral videos and reels – some of which include an AI-generated President Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and tech mogul Elon Musk toiling on footwear and iPhone assembly lines.
China is not behaving like a nation facing the prospect of economic pain and President Xi Jinping has made it clear that Beijing will not back down.
“For more than 70 years, China has always relied on self-reliance and hard work for development… it has never relied on anyone’s gifts and is unafraid of any unreasonable suppression,” he said this month.
His confidence may come in part because China is far less dependent than it was 10 years ago on exports to the US. But the truth is Trump’s brinkmanship and tariff hikes are pushing on pressure points that already exist within China’s own struggling economy. With a housing crisis, increasing job insecurity and an ageing population, Chinese people are simply not spending as much as their government would like.

Katy Perry felt ‘battered and bruised’ by backlash
Singer Katy Perry has admitted feeling “battered and bruised” by the backlash following her recent space trip, but reassured fans she is OK and would “keep looking to the light”.
Writing two weeks after the much-derided Blue Origin voyage, which saw her take an 11-minute flight with five other women, the US star said the “online world” had tried to make her a “human Piñata”.
Her comments came after fans paid for a billboard in New York to show their support for her ahead of her world tour.
Responding to a fan account that posted a video of the billboard, Perry said she was “so grateful” for her fans, adding they were “in this beautiful and wild journey together”.

Trump says he ‘could’ return mistakenly deported man if he wanted to
US President Donald Trump has acknowledged he does have the ability to bring back a man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, but that he will not do so.
Kilmar Ábrego García was removed from the US in March. Judges all the way up to the US Supreme Court have ruled that this was done in error, and that Trump’s team should help “facilitate” his return.
Trump had previously denied having the power to bring Mr Ábrego García back to his home in Maryland. Pressed by an interviewer from ABC News on Tuesday, he conceded he “could” change the situation if he wanted to.
However, he argued that Mr Ábrego García had been rightfully deported.

Toxic mushroom meal was ‘terrible accident’, says woman on trial for murder

Tarar said that India intends to use the attack as a “false pretext” for a strike and that “any such military adventurism by India would be responded to assuredly and decisively”.

Harvard head apologises as scathing reports on campus prejudice released
Harvard University President Alan Garber has apologised following the release of internal reports into antisemitic and anti-Muslim prejudice at America’s oldest university.
The reports included testimony from students who described feeling alienated and pressured to conceal their identity from their peers and educators.
In response to the findings, Harvard pledged to review its academic offerings and admissions policies – a key demand of the White House, which accuses the Ivy League institution of failure to stamp out campus antisemitism.
Two taskforces were established to look into bias at Harvard in the aftermath of last year’s pro-Palestinian protests over the Israel-Gaza war.

Four dead after car crashes through after-school camp
Three young girls and a teenager were killed and six other children were injured when a vehicle drove through a building used by an after-school camp in Illinois.
