<p>Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has long been targeting his opponents with threats and provocative remarks, even much ahead of the US presidential elections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier in March, Trump made comments about US auto manufacturing jobs that have moved to Mexico, saying, "We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars – if I get elected. Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars.”</p>

US election 2024: Who all have been threatened by Trump in the past with violence?

<p>US media reported Monday (Nov 4) that Western intelligence officials have linked Russia to a covert flight sabotage operation, involving a plot to start fires on planes using incendiary devices. Wall Street Journal reported, citing the officials, that the operation specifically targets passenger and cargo flights to the US and Canada.</p>

<p>The development comes after device explosions were reported at two logistics hubs of DHL, the world's leading logistics company. A probe was launched following explosions in Leipzig, Germany and Birmingham, UK.</p>

<h2><strong>Results of the probe</strong></h2>

<p>According to the officials, the explosive shipment at the DHL UK centre came from Lithuania. The shipment had electric massagers implanted with a magnesium-based flammable substance.</p>

<p>The WSJ reported that the devices “appear to have been a test run to figure out how to get such incendiary devices aboard planes bound for North America.”</p>

<h2><strong>Russia rubbishes allegations</strong></h2>

<p>Russia has vehemently rejected these allegations as “unsubstantiated insinuations from the media.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “We have never heard any official accusations.”</p>

Harris or Trump: America Decides in Knife-Edge Polls

<p>A Pennsylvania judge has&nbsp;rejected a bid&nbsp;to shut down US billionaire Elon Musk’s $1m lottery&nbsp;scheme in swing states, news agency AP reported Tuesday (Nov 5).</p>

<p>Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled that the controversial&nbsp;scheme can continue through Tuesday’s presidential election.</p>

US Elections 2024: Tight Races For the House & Senate

<p>Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump Monday (Nov 4) dropped a bombshell on Mexico, announcing he would “immediately” impose tariffs on the fellow North American nation if it fails to stop migrants from crossing the shared border.</p>

<p>Speaking at a rally in North Carolina just hours ahead of the Nov 5 D-Day, Trump said something that the government in Mexico City won’t find pleasing.</p>

<p>Referring to Mexico’s newly inaugurated President Claudia Sheinbaum, the former president said, “I haven’t met her, and I’m going to inform her on day one or sooner, that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25% tariff on everything they send in to the United States of America.”</p>

<p>Trump didn’t stop there, adding he would keep on piling tariffs, even up to 100 per cent, if Mexico fails to honour his expectations.</p>

<p>“It’s only got a 100% chance of working, because if that doesn’t work, I’ll make it 50, and [if] that doesn’t work, I’ll make it 75. For the tough guys, and I’ll make it 100,” Trump threatened.</p>

According to data from the US Trade Representative, US-Mexico annual trade stood at $855.1 billion in 2022.

<p>A Georgia poll worker has been arrested for allegedly fabricating a bomb threat letter, aiming to implicate a voter he had previously argued with. Nicholas Wimbish, aged 25, from Milledgeville, is accused of creating a fake threat to make it appear as though the voter he had an altercation with, was responsible.</p>

<p>According to a report by The Mirror US, Wimbish’s arrest occurred on November 4, the eve of the election, with federal authorities involved in the investigation. The Justice Department confirmed that Wimbish, who was working at the Jones County Election Office in Gray last month, had a verbal dispute with a voter.</p>
