The US President Donald Trump had ordered to exclude&nbsp;illegal immigrants and&nbsp;undocumented migrants from the US census.&nbsp;

The ordered issued by Trump in July has been rejected by a federal court in new York. The move has been rejected after several prosecutors, from different states, challenged Trump's decision.

A bench of three judges of a federal court in New York has now declared that this decision by the government is illegal, and cannot be carried out.

This order by Trump was one of his many tries to stop 'illegal' immigration — a point he stresses upom for the upcoming US elections.

US President Donald Trump’s daughter and White House advisor, Ivanka has accepted TV show host Joy Behar's challenge, saying she would be willing to make an appearance on The View talk show and get administered with a COVID vaccine on live television.

"Deal @JoyVBehar. I would come on your show to do so. I trust the FDA and so should all Americans. Vanquishing this virus should be our collective top priority," Ivanka Trump tweeted.

US Election 2020: Trump encourages supporters to try to vote twice; Critics slam Trump's comments

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, Vice President Mike Pence, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, all masked, joined New York`s somber 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center.

Biden and Pence, both masked, bumped elbows in greeting, one of the many ways the anniversary ceremony has been changed by the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 190,000 people in the United States.

About 200 people joined the New York ceremony, where the names were read out of the nearly 3,000 people killed when two hijacked jets slammed into the Twin Towers, with a third hitting the Pentagon and a fourth taken down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, when its passengers rose up against the al Qaeda hijackers.

President Donald Trump and Biden are also due to visit Shanksville separately later in the day.

Prior to boarding a plane from his Delaware home, Biden pledged not to make any news during the solemn day.

"I`m not going to talk about anything other than 9/11. We took all our advertising down. It`s a solemn day, and that`s how we`re going to keep it, okay?," Biden said.

The sun struggled to pierce hazy clouds in New York, a contrast with the 2001 morning of the attacks, which people present that day remember for its piercing, clear skies.

Trump left the White House to attend a morning ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, a White House official said. The event, in remembrance of the 40 passengers and crew who died when the plane plunged into a field after they struggled with the hijackers, will be closed to the public because of coronavirus concerns, the National Park Service said.

Later in the day, the Bidens will visit the Shanksville site to pay their respects to the victims. The two candidates are not expected to cross paths in Pennsylvania, a battleground state that is vital to the Nov. 3 election between Trump and Biden.

Flight 93, bound for San Francisco from Newark, New Jersey, never hit its intended target — the four hijackers were believed to be planning to crash it into either the U.S. Capitol or the White House — after passengers stormed the cockpit and attempted to regain control of the aircraft.

The ceremonies marking the attacks are a regular stop for presidential candidates and officials. Trump visited Shanksville for the 9/11 anniversary in 2018, and has attended memorial ceremonies at the Pentagon.

Biden went to memorials in Shanksville during his years as vice president under Barack Obama.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton both visited the Ground Zero memorial in New York.

Biden`s campaign said it was pulling its television ads off the air on Friday.

The nonprofit 9/11 Day had asked both campaigns to pull its ads. The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment on whether it would do so.

Biden was standing listening to the reading of the names of the victims when he spotted a woman crying in the crowd.

Amanda Barreto, 27, of Teaneck, New Jersey, lost her godmother and aunt in the 9/11 attacks. Biden came up to her and offered his condolences.

"He knows what it means to lose someone. He wanted me to stay strong," Barreto said afterward. "And he`s so sorry for my loss."

After news broke out that ByteDance may miss the deadline set for the&nbsp;TikTok deal, the US President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> has said there will be no extensions for the China-owned company.

According to a report published in Bloomberg on Thursday, ByteDance may&nbsp;need few more days after September 20&nbsp;to reach an agreement with either of the parties due to the Chinese regulatory review.

However, Donald Trump has said&nbsp;"It'll either be closed up or they'll sell it.&nbsp;There will be no extension of the TikTok deadline."

The Chinese company has been looking for the best buyer to sell its US assets to, after Trump asked the company to leave the country alleging it of working as a secret intelligence for China. Trump administration believes TikTok has been used to supply US information to China — a country with whom the US is on a diplomatic and trade war.

However, ByteDance has repeatedly denied these allegations stating that the company never has, and never will share any data with the Chinese or any other government.

"I'm sure there are any number of backdoors that are built into the code and of course ByteDance knows exactly what they are, so there needs to be a clean, clear, total separation," Republican Senator Josh Hawley, a close ally of Trump, said while supporting Trump's decision.

'There will be no extension': Trump says on TikTok deadline

The United States is set to host a presidential elections in less than 60 days. In the run up, the headlines are speaking of various possibilities.

One of these headlines is "Threats of an armed insurgency."

And US experts are worried -- blame the record arms sales and the growing waves of street violence between armed groups.

The armed conflict location and event data project published a report last week. It found that 20 violent groups had taken part in more than 100 protests recently.

The protests were related to the killing of George Floyd. And the violent groups belonged to both sides of the political spectrum.

Gun sales in the US have hit an all-time high. At least 3.9 million guns were bought in June this year. This number is based on FBI background checks.&nbsp;

The record purchase is over and above the 400 million firearms that are already in circulation as of 2018.

The question being asked is -- did Donald Trump underplay the risk of the coronavirus?

The answer is 'yes'.&nbsp;

"I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," Trump said at one of the media briefings on March 19, just days before Trump publically underplayed the risk of the virus.

Future holds for another book bomb for Trump.

US Election 2020: Trump and Biden upload campaign videos targeting each other

Groups of US armed forces veterans and several lawmakers have expressed displeasure and anger over a decision taken by White House to relocate a flag remembering Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA). In a decision taken earlier this year, the flag was relocated to a place on White House grounds. This spot gives much lesser visibility to the flag than the previous one.

Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Jack Reed and Margaret Hassan sent a letter to the White House asking it to relocate the flag.

Groups of US armed forces veterans and several lawmakers have expressed displeasure and anger over a decision taken by White House to relocate a flag remembering Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA).

Groups of US armed forces veterans and several lawmakers have expressed displeasure and anger over a decision taken by White House to relocate a flag remembering Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA). In a decision taken earlier this year, the flag was relocated to a place on White House grounds. This spot gives much lesser visibility to the flag than the previous one. Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Jack Reed and Margaret Hassan sent a letter to the White House asking it to relocate the flag. The letter comes amid allegations that US President Donald Trump did not have respect for US military. A report in the Atlantic magazine last week alleged that Trump had called fallen American soldiers "losers" and "suckers". This had caused great controversy.

White House decision to relocate flag remembering POWs sparks anger

The headless body of Kim Jong Un's executed uncle was once displayed to senior North Korean officials, US President Donald Trump told the author of an upcoming biographical book.

Jang Song Thaek, the North Korean leader's uncle by marriage and a hugely powerful figure within the regime, was purged for treason and corruption in 2013, in what was widely seen as Kim mercilessly asserting his authority.

Kim "tells me everything; told me everything," Trump said to the Washington Post investigative journalist Bob Woodward, according to his forthcoming book "Rage".

"Rage", scheduled to hit the book stands next week, unveils 25 letters the two exchanged, in which Kim repeatedly flatters Trump.

Negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington have remained at a standstill ever since the meeting in the Demilitarised Zone, and ties between the North and South have plummeted, but Trump insisted that he still had a good relationship with Kim.

"He likes me. I like him. We get along," he said.

"He killed his uncle and he put the body right in the steps," Trump said, in an apparent reference to a building used by senior officials.

"And the head was cut, sitting on the chest," he added in excerpts from the book.

The North has never officially stated how Jang was executed, although multiple reports say an anti-aircraft gun was used.

Trump's account -- apparently intended as a demonstration of the closeness of his relationship with Kim -- is the first from any senior official to mention decapitation.

Nuclear negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington have been at a standstill since the collapse of the Hanoi summit last year over sanctions relief and what the North would be willing to give up in return.

Pyongyang officials said they had offered to "dismantle all the nuclear production facilities in the Yongbyon area", but analysts say the North has several other nuclear sites.

According to the book, Trump demanded five sites be given up.

"Listen, one doesn't help and two doesn't help and three doesn't help and four doesn't help. Five does help," he said.

Yongbyon was the North's biggest site, Kim countered according to excerpts from the book seen by AFP. "It's also your oldest," Trump told the author he retorted.

Kim, though, would not offer further concessions, and Trump told him: "You're not ready to make a deal."

"I've got to leave," he added, to Kim's shock.

The collapse of the summit came despite high expectations on both sides beforehand, but according to the book Trump continued to insist on full denuclearisation even after the pair's surprise meeting several months later in the Demilitarised Zone that divides the peninsula.

"It was an honour to cross into your country," Trump wrote in a letter to Kim two days after the encounter, when he became the first sitting US president to set foot in the North.

He urged Kim to strike a "big deal" that "sheds you of your nuclear burden".

The DMZ meeting was supposed to restart the talks process but the US and South Korea held military exercises a few weeks later and Kim subsequently wrote to Trump: "I am clearly offended and I do not want to hide this feeling from you. I am really, very offended."

Russia is not seeking to interfere in the electoral processes of other countries around the world, nor has it in the past, the Kremlin said on Friday.

This clarification came close on the heels of Microsoft claiming hackers linked to Russia were among those trying to spy on US political figures.

Hackers linked to Russia, China, and Iran are trying to spy on people tied to both US President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden, Microsoft Corp said on Thursday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia has no intention of meddling in other countries' internal affairs and that Russia does not like it when others interfere in its affairs.

Microsoft Corp said on Thursday that hackers linked to Russia, China, and Iran are trying to spy on people tied to both US President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

The announcement by Microsoft's vice president for customer security, Tom Burt, said the group accused of breaching Hillary Clinton's campaign emails in 2016 - a Russian military intelligence-linked unit widely known as Fancy Bear - had spent the past year trying to break into accounts belonging to political consultants serving both Republicans and Democrats as well as advocacy organizations and think tanks.

Burt also said Chinese hackers had gone after people "closely associated with US presidential campaigns and candidates" - including an unnamed Biden ally who was targeted through a personal email address and "at least one prominent individual formerly associated with the Trump Administration."

Burt said the Chinese effort to compromise the Biden ally and the Iranian spying against the Trump campaign were unsuccessful, but his blog post provided no detail on the hacking campaign attributed to Russia or the effort to compromise the well-known former Trump associate.

US election 2020: Book troubles for Donald Trump in 2020

U.S. officials are weighing whether to postpone or further cut refugee admissions in the coming year amid legal fights over President Donald Trump`s refugee policy and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a senior official said.

The possible postponement - one of several options under discussion - would mean some or all refugee admissions could be frozen until a legal challenge to a 2019 Trump order on refugees is resolved "with some greater degree of finality," the official told Reuters.

It is not clear when that lawsuit may be resolved, especially if the case goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a process that could take months or even longer.

The president typically sets yearly refugee levels around the beginning of each fiscal year and the Trump administration has not yet announced its plans for fiscal 2021, which begins on Oct. 1.

The refugee cap was cut to 18,000 this year, the lowest level since the modern-day program began in 1980. So far, roughly half that many refugees have been let in as increased vetting and the coronavirus pandemic have slowed arrivals.

The senior official said that even if 2021 admissions are not delayed, next year`s cap could be cut below current levels. 
"The arc of this administration`s refugee policy is going to continue," said the official, who requested anonymity to discuss the ongoing deliberations.

Trump and his top officials have said refugees could pose threats to national security and that resettlement should take place closer to countries of origin. The administration also contends that refugee resettlement can be costly for local communities, although refugee backers reject those arguments.

The possible moves remain under discussion and no final decision has been reached, the official stressed.

Democratic challenger Joe Biden has pledged to raise refugee admissions to 125,000 per year if he defeats Trump in November. However, Biden has not said how quickly he would raise the cap and advocates say the program could take years to recover after Trump-era reductions.

If he wins, Biden could seek to raise the cap soon after taking office, just as Trump moved to halve refugee admissions in early 2017. But refugee groups say that restoring the pipeline of travel-ready refugees and rebuilding the organizations that receive them in the United States will take months or years as refugees will need to undergo renewed security and medical checks and shuttered resettlement offices will need to reopen.

Trump, who is seeking another four-year term on Nov. 3, has made his immigration crackdown a focus of the presidency and 2020 campaign.

In addition to greatly reducing refugee admissions to the United States, Trump also issued an executive order in September 2019 that required state and local elected officials to consent to receive refugees, saying it would better ensure refugees were sent to areas with adequate resources to receive them.

In January, a Maryland-based U.S. district judge blocked the order from taking effect, prompting Trump administration officials to consider a possible "deferral" of refugee admissions until the court case is resolved, the senior official said.

The administration`s refugee cap discussions involve officials from the State Department, Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon, and have been coordinated by the White House National Security Council, according to the senior official, who declined to provide the names of those involved.

U.S. officials are weighing whether to postpone or further cut refugee admissions in the coming year amid legal fights over President Donald Trump`s refugee policy and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a senior official said.

U.S. officials are weighing whether to postpone or further cut refugee admissions in the coming year amid legal fights over President Donald Trump`s refugee policy and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a senior official said. The possible postponement - one of several options under discussion - would mean some or all refugee admissions could be frozen until a legal challenge to a 2019 Trump order on refugees is resolved "with some greater degree of finality," the official told Reuters. It is not clear when that lawsuit may be resolved, especially if the case goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, a process that could take months or even longer. The president typically sets yearly refugee levels around the beginning of each fiscal year and the Trump administration has not yet announced its plans for fiscal 2021, which begins on Oct. 1. The refugee cap was cut to 18,000 this year, the lowest level since the modern-day program began in 1980. So far, roughly half that many refugees have been let in as increased vetting and the coronavirus pandemic have slowed arrivals. The senior official said that even if 2021 admissions are not delayed, next year`s cap could be cut below current levels. "The arc of this administration`s refugee policy is going to continue," said the official, who requested anonymity to discuss the ongoing deliberations. Trump and his top officials have said refugees could pose threats to national security and that resettlement should take place closer to countries of origin. The administration also contends that refugee resettlement can be costly for local communities, although refugee backers reject those arguments. The possible moves remain under discussion and no final decision has been reached, the official stressed. Democratic challenger Joe Biden has pledged to raise refugee admissions to 125,000 per year if he defeats Trump in November. However, Biden has not said how quickly he would raise the cap and advocates say the program could take years to recover after Trump-era reductions. If he wins, Biden could seek to raise the cap soon after taking office, just as Trump moved to halve refugee admissions in early 2017. But refugee groups say that restoring the pipeline of travel-ready refugees and rebuilding the organizations that receive them in the United States will take months or years as refugees will need to undergo renewed security and medical checks and shuttered resettlement offices will need to reopen. Trump, who is seeking another four-year term on Nov. 3, has made his immigration crackdown a focus of the presidency and 2020 campaign. In addition to greatly reducing refugee admissions to the United States, Trump also issued an executive order in September 2019 that required state and local elected officials to consent to receive refugees, saying it would better ensure refugees were sent to areas with adequate resources to receive them. In January, a Maryland-based U.S. district judge blocked the order from taking effect, prompting Trump administration officials to consider a possible "deferral" of refugee admissions until the court case is resolved, the senior official said.

Trump administration considers postponing refugee admissions

The US President Donald Trump has been campaigning all over the country with the hopes of getting re-elected in the upcoming <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/us-election">US elections</a>.

His campaigns have been criticised quite a lot of times from his opposition party members and health experts due to carelessness towards the coronavirus restrictions.

The US State Department on Wednesday said that the country revoked visas of more than 1,000 Chinese students and researchers under an order by President Donald Trump that accused some of them of espionage.&nbsp;

After tensions with Beijing rose on several fronts, Trump, in a May 29 proclamation, declared that some Chinese nationals officially in the United States for study have stolen intellectual property and helped modernize China's military.

According to the State Department, more than 1,000 visas have been revoked since it began implementing the proclamation on June 1.

"The high-risk graduate students and research scholars made ineligible under this proclamation represent a small subset of the total number of Chinese students and scholars coming to the United States," a State Department spokeswoman said.

"We continue to welcome legitimate students and scholars from China who do not further the Chinese Communist Party's goals of military dominance," she said.

In the 2018/19 session, nearly 370,000 students from China were enrolled at US universities. These were the most of any country, offering a lucrative source of income to institutions that are now facing growing pressure from the coronavirus pandemic.

According to some Asian American activists, Trump's orders are creating a climate of suspicion on campuses, with students of Asian descent facing unfounded questions about their intentions.

President Donald Trump on September 8 said that he is willing to spend as much as $100M from his own pocket in his re-election bid as his campaign argued that he could clinch a landslide second-term victory.

US Elections 2020: Trump ready to spend from his pocket

US President Donald Trump&nbsp;facing the possibility of a cash crunch, said on Tuesday he would spend his own money to finance his 2020 presidential campaign against Democrat Joe Biden if he had to.

Money is supposed to have one of the great advantages of incumbency for any president of the United States of America.

Trump&nbsp;has struggled to change the contours of the campaign despite highly charged rhetoric on racial polarization and "law and order" intended to motivate his base and draw new supporters in suburban parts of key swing states, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

US election 2020: Trump's billion-dollar campaign has lost 'cash advantage'

The US has been one of the worst-hit countries by coronavirus in the world. Local residents and opposition leaders have frequently alleged the US President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> of not doing enough to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.&nbsp;

For the first time, Trump has reportedly admitted to downplaying the deadly situation in one of the strongest countries.

"I wanted to always play it down," Trump can be heard admitting on tape during an interview with a local news channel. However, he claims he did it for the greater good of the country because he did not want to create a state of panic among his fellow Americans.

"I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic," he said.

The interview clippings are from the months of February and March, and have now been released for a book which will be published on September 15.

The book, which will be the fourth book this year attacking Trump, is titled "Rage" and can further decrease winning chances for Trump in the upcoming <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/us-election">US elections</a>, scheduled for November 03.

Reportedly, Trump has also been caught on tape claiming that the novel coronavirus, which has killed nearly 190,000 people in the US till now,&nbsp;"goes through the air". The statement came from a man who not only avoided wearing face masks himself, but also mocked the people who wore face masks, in the starting months of this year.&nbsp;

"I'm not going to drive this country or the world into a frenzy," he continued. "We have to show leadership and the last thing you want to do is create a panic."

"He knew how deadly it was," Biden said while campaigning in Michigan. "He lied to the American people. He knowingly and willingly lied about the threat it posed to the country for months."

"It was a life and death betrayal of the American people," Biden added. He also said labelled Trump's behaviour and response as "almost criminal" in an interview.

However, all these claims are have been denied by Trump's aid and infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci, who claimed that Trump always wanted to stop the country from getting "down and out".

"I don't recall anything that was any gross distortion in things that I spoke to him about," he added. Fauci has remained loyal to trump and claimed that Trump asked the medical experts to put their best foot forward, even if Trump publically asked people not to panic as the virus will be "killed by heat".

The truth about his wordings will be released soon, but the truth about his intentions will always remain a mystery. The effect of the new book will soon be revealed in the election results.

Gravitas: Trump's Campaign is running out of cash

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said that there was "substantial chances" that a senior official in Kremlin ordered opposition leader Alexei Navalny's poisoning.

Also read: Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nomination a 'testament to his bold diplomacy and vision': White House "I think people all around the world see this kind of activity for what it is," Pompeo said in a radio interview. Also read: Russia calls Germany's handling of requests on Navalny 'inappropriate' "And when they see the effort to poison a dissident, and they recognize that there is a substantial chance that this actually came from senior Russian officials, I think this is not good for the Russian people," he told conservative host Ben Shapiro. Navalny has been the most visible critic within Russia of President Vladimir Putin and mysteriously got critically ill while taking a flight in Siberia. Later, he was flown for treatment to Germany, where doctors said he was poisoned. Pompeo regurgitated that the United States and its European allies all wanted Russia to "hold those responsible for this accountable" and said Washington would also try to identify the perpetrators. "It's something that we'll take a look at, we'll evaluate, and we'll make sure we do our part to do whatever we can to reduce the risk that things like this happen again." These remarks by the US Secretary of State come despite Trump's comment last week that he had seen no proof that Navalny was poisoned. Trump has sought warmer relations with Putin, although his administration has still pushed sanctions over Ukraine and other concerns. (Inputs from AFP)

Alexei Navalny's poisoning likely by 'senior Russian officials': Mike Pompeo

The latest book penned by veteran US journalist Bob Woodward, ‘Rage’, has raised some grave accusations against the US president Donald Trump

Here's what Bob Woodward's book 'Rage' says about US Prez Trump

Ahead of the US elections 2020, the US President <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> has issued a lost of the 'ideal' Supreme Court judges, with an aim to woo his voters.

Trump has shortlisted some potential nominees for country's highest court. The potential list, assumable, includes his political allies such as&nbsp;Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

"Over the next four years, America's president will choose hundreds of federal judges and in all likelihood one, two, three and even four Supreme Court justices," Trump told reporters at the White House.

"The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation's founding principles or whether they are lost forever," he added.

Experts believe the list of potential candidates is Trump's attempt to woo his Republican voters ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/us-election">US elections</a>.

Trump has claimed that if he wins the elections he will see to it that the appointed judges do justice to their position. He alleged that his rival, Joe Biden, will appoint judges who would be extremely radical and would"erase" the Second Amendment giving Americans the right to bear arms and "require taxpayers to fund extremely late term abortion."

"They will remove the words 'Under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance, they will unilaterally declare the death penalty unconstitutional," he added.

Trump feels nominating the Supreme Court judges is one of the most important tasks of the US President — a post he is hoping to get re-elected for in the November elections.

Trump has appointed two conservative justices since taking office — Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — which has resulted in a majority of conservative party in the court.

Trump has shortlisted some potential nominees for country's highest court. The potential list, assumable, includes his political allies such as Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri. "Over the next four years, America's president will choose hundreds of federal judges and in all likelihood one, two, three and even four Supreme Court justices," Trump told reporters at the White House.

Experts believe the list of potential candidates is Trump's attempt to woo his Republican voters ahead of the upcoming US elections. Trump has claimed that if he wins the elections he will see to it that the appointed judges do justice to their position. He alleged that his rival, Joe Biden, will appoint judges who would be extremely radical and would"erase" the Second Amendment giving Americans the right to bear arms and "require taxpayers to fund extremely late term abortion."

Trump feels nominating the Supreme Court judges is one of the most important tasks of the US President — a post he is hoping to get re-elected for in the November elections. Trump has appointed two conservative justices since taking office — Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — which has resulted in a majority of conservative party in the court.

United States President Donald Trump has, on several occasions suggested that he deems himself worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. Is his dream coming true?

Turns out, the outspoken US president has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Prize for his efforts in normalising ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and for facilitating the historic deal.

Donald Trump was nominated by&nbsp;Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of Norwegian Parliament.

Tybring-Gjedde said that Trump has done more for peace than numerous holders of the coveted award. “For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,"&nbsp;Tybring-Gjedde told&nbsp;Fox News.

This may turn the tide in Trump's favour in the upcoming US elections, beginning November 3. Most polls show him trailing behind his Democrat rival Joe Biden.&nbsp;

President Trump had earlier claimed that he was robbed of the Nobel Peace Prize.

During a rally in Toledo, Ohio, in January 2020,&nbsp;Trump had&nbsp;said he deserved the prize which was earlier awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

“I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘What, did I have something do with it?'” Trump claimed.

“Yeah, but you know, that’s the way it is. As long as we know, that’s all that matters … I saved a big war, I’ve saved a couple of them”, he added.

Abiy received the peace prize for ending Ethiopian border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea, which had later settled in 2018.

Earlier, allies of the US president had said that Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for his negotiations with North Korea. Trump had also complained about his predecessor, President Barack Obama receiving the coveted award.

“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, ‘Oh, what did I get it for?’” Trump claimed&nbsp;in February 2019.

“With me, I probably will never get it”, he had claimed.&nbsp;

The 2020 US Elections are fast approaching, with less than two months away from the day of voting. The US President Donald Trump has found support from an unusual admirer, the niece of Osama Bin Laden, who was the master mind behind the 9/11 terror attacks

Noor Bin Ladin recently suggested that only Donald Trump can save America from another 9/11. Noor Bin Ladin is currently an author based out of Switzerland, and spells her name differently than her infamous uncle. She also considers herself “an American at heart”.

Ladin recently gave her first-ever interview to the New York Post. She levelled some&nbsp; accusations against the Democrats, but was all praises for Donald Trump.

“ISIS proliferated under the Obama-Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe”, she said.

“Trump has shown that he protects America and us, by extension from foreign threats..... By obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike”, she added.

Five months later, protesters are still demanding action against the cops behind her killing. As they marched on the streets, another victim of police brutality put out a message that went viral within minutes.

The message was from Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old who was gravely wounded after cops fired 7-8 shots on his back. Speaking from his hospital bed for the first time since the shooting, Blake urged his supporters to change their lives.

He asked them to stick together, make some money, and not waste their time.

This was his message:&nbsp;“I just want to say, man, to all the young cast out there and even the older ones, older than me: there is a lot more life to live out here, man. Your life, and not only just your life, your legs, something that you need to move around and move forward in life -- can be taken from you like this, man, and I promise you the type of shit that you will go through... I got staples in my back, staples in my stomach. You do not want to have to deal with this shit, man. Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours, it's pain, it's nothing but pain. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep, it hurts to move from side-to-side, it hurts to eat. Please, I’m telling you, change your lives out there. We can stick together, make some money, make everything easier for our people out here, man, because there is so much time that has been wasted."
