US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) suggested he might deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon—a move apparently triggered by a misleading television report that showed video from the city's 2020 protests as if it were filmed this summer.

White House advisor Peter Navarro had a public meltdown on Sunday (Sep 7) after one of his posts targeting India's purchase of Russian oil was flagged by a community note on X.

However, the factually wrong post was fact-checked by users, which caused Navarro to have a full-on public meltdown and lash out at US President Donald Trump's former closest ally, Elon Musk. Navarro took to accusing Musk of “letting propaganda into people's posts” while calling the community note a "crap note". Here's what happened.<h2>Navarro fact-checked</h2>In a post on Saturday (Sep 6) Navarro claimed as "fact" that India's "highest tariffs costs US jobs".

It didn't buy any before Russia invaded Ukraine. Indian govt spin machine moving high tilt. Stop killing Ukranians [Ukrainians]. Stop taking American jobs," Navarro wrote.It must be noted that Musk had nothing to do with the community note. According to X, these notes, "aim to create a better informed world by empowering people on X to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading posts."<h2>Trump aide's continuous India attacks</h2>Navarro's language toward India has become increasingly sharp. From calling the country a "Kremlin laundromat" to even resorting to caste-based slurs like "Brahmins are profiteering," he has kept up a steady barrage of attacks against New Delhi.India, meanwhile, has rejected his claims outright. The Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Friday called Navarro's statements "inaccurate and misleading", stressing that the India-US relationship remains a "comprehensive global strategic partnership" anchored in shared interests and democratic values.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The US President Donald Trump reportedly started a fundraiser campaign with mails having the subject line “I want to try and get to Heaven.” The email campaign which started on August 23, 2025 urged every supporter to contribute $15 as part of the “24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ”.The email campaign by President Donald Trump's Super PAC, Never Surrender Inc., frames his survival in the 2024, assasination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania as 'divine intervention'.&nbsp;“Last year, I came millimeters from death when that bullet pierced through my skin. My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen!” the email reads.“But I believe that God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,” the message continued.On August 19, following his &nbsp;interview with Fox &amp; Friends, Trump expressed his spiritual concerns, saying he wanted to “7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty”- he is pretty sure this will land him in Heaven.&nbsp;For the last couple of weeks specualtions around his health had swirled, following minimal public activity.

President Donald Trump launched a fundraising email urging supporters to donate $15 to help him “get to heaven,” tying it to his previous assassination attempt of 2024. 

The US President Donald Trump reportedly started a fundraiser campaign with mails having the subject line “I want to try and get to Heaven.” The email campaign which started on August 23, 2025 urged every supporter to contribute $15 as part of the “24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ”. The email campaign by President Donald Trump's Super PAC, Never Surrender Inc., frames his survival in the 2024, assasination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania as 'divine intervention'. “Last year, I came millimeters from death when that bullet pierced through my skin. My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen!” the email reads. “But I believe that God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,” the message continued. On August 19, following his interview with Fox & Friends, Trump expressed his spiritual concerns, saying he wanted to “7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s pretty”- he is pretty sure this will land him in Heaven. For the last couple of weeks specualtions around his health had swirled, following minimal public activity.

Former Indian envoy to France, Jawed Ashraf, on Saturday (September 6) dismissed suggestions that New Delhi must choose between rival global blocs, insisting India’s foreign policy must be anchored in its own principles and interests rather than external pressure. His remarks came a day after US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned India to align with Washington or face steep trade barriers if it continued engaging closely with Russia and China. Lutnick bluntly said in a Bloomberg interview: “Either support the dollar, support the United States and its consumers, or be ready for a 50% tariff.”&nbsp;Rejecting this binary framing, Ashraf emphasised that India was no longer a country that needed to “lean on camps” for survival. “We are capable of pursuing independent ties with all powers, even if they differ among themselves. Each relationship will stand on its own merit,” ANI quoted him as saying.&nbsp;He stressed that India never compromises one partnership to favor another: “We do not act against one country on behalf of another.” Ashraf’s intervention followed recent comments from US President Donald Trump, who suggested America had “lost India to China” — remarks he later softened by clarifying his frustration stemmed from India’s continued imports of Russian crude. Trump added that Washington had already imposed 25% tariffs on Indian goods, with another 25% penalty tied to oil imports from Moscow.&nbsp;Despite these tensions, Ashraf noted a “lowering of the temperature” in ongoing dialogue, signaling that space still exists to stabilise relations. Drawing from history, he reminded that India has consistently rejected third-party mediation, particularly on issues with Pakistan. He also recalled earlier pressure from Washington over the S-400 missile deal with Russia, when India stood firm despite threats of sanctions. On China, Ashraf underlined that India’s challenge is far more layered: “It is our foremost geopolitical, security, and economic rival, with complications at the bilateral, regional, and global levels.”

Meanwhile, on the same lines, a police station in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was under attack through a quadcopter last week, injuring a police constable and a civilian. &nbsp;Not only this, but last month too, on Pakistan’s Independence Day (Aug 14), the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out coordinated gun and grenade attacks on police stations, checkpoints and patrols across several (seven) districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing half a dozen officers.<h3>Pakistan, cricket and terrorism</h3>Even though Pakistan co-hosted the eight-team ICC event (Champions Trophy), which was also the first on their soil since they co-hosted the 1996 ODI World Cup, the BCCI’s and the Indian government’s refusal to send the Indian Team across the border forced the ICC to introduce a hybrid model, with Dubai chosen as a neutral venue. &nbsp;Although the Pakistani media, their countless fans, influencers, experts, former cricketers and who’s who criticised the Indian government’s move, such blasts occurring now and then on their soil answer plenty of questions. It reflects why the BCCI was adamant and right in denying the Indian Team to Pakistan due to security concerns.

The local police also informed that the ones injured were taken to the nearby district headquarters hospital, with no reports of anyone claiming responsibility for the attack out yet.

US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Sep 6) issued a chilling warning to Chicago ahead of the planned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids as part of the administration’s crackdown against illegal immigrants. Trump also suggested that the biggest city in Illinois is about to find out why it is called ‘Department of War’, referring to the latest executive order signed by him that rebranded the Department of Defence.“I love the smell of deportations in the morning,” the US president wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform, while sharing an edited picture of himself wearing a US Army shirt and black hat with helicopters flying in the background over the city in a chaotic scene.“Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR,” he wrote. The picture also featured a text reading “Chipocalypse Now”.

This comes as ICE is preparing to carry out a raid in the city after Trump said the next federal military takeover will take place in Chicago. The operation, which will target undocumented migrants in the city, is expected to last 45 days. Earlier this week, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said that ICE could ramp up its operations in Chicago over the weekend, starting Friday. Local authorities have said that there could be up to 300 ICE agents in the city.Pritzker has voiced concern that the crackdown could coincide with the Mexican Independence Day Parade in Chicago, which could escalate matters in the city. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and other local officials have also expressed opposition to federal intervention, stressing the city’s sanctuary policies and legal rights to resist federal overreach.Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice said on Saturday that it has made 1,989 arrests in Washington as the authorities ramped up the crackdown against illegal immigrants and crime. It also said that a legal action has been taken against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu over the sanctuary city policy. It also announced the expansion of Joint Task Force Alpha to combat human smuggling.

Thousands gathered in London’s Parliament Square on Saturday (September 6) to oppose the British government’s decision to outlaw the activist network Palestine Action, which was officially proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July.

"If you're a real businessman, you would know that the last thing you ever want to do to a market is confuse it. There has to be consistency of messaging," he argued. "Look, we'll be your friend. We'll be your business partners, we'll buy your products. We'll share rare earth minerals with you... Let's just get together and we'll do for each other what you were hoping the United States would do for you that you no longer trust the United States will do," the journo added. He also added, “The person who's holding the door open is Donald Trump. Donald Trump is literally telling Russia, we don't want to be your friends. Go be friends with China.”

US President Donald Trump on Friday officially declared that they will be hosting the 2026 G20 summit at Trump's National Doral, a resort owned by him in the Miami area. While talking about the summit, he pointed out, "Everybody wants it there because it's right next to the airport, it's the best location, it's beautiful, a beautiful everything."Trump also said that the venue will operate at 'cost’ and Trump will not make any profit. Notably, Trump had earlier in his first term planned to host the G7 summit at Trump's National Doral, but after backlash from Republicans and Democrats, the plan was abandoned. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was abandoned altogether."Each country will have its own building. I think it will be really a beautiful thing," said Trump.

Trump confirms the 2026 G20 Summit will take place at his Miami resort, Trump National Doral. A look at the richest G20 countries by GDP and why the venue choice is stirring controversy.

US President Donald Trump on Friday officially declared that they will be hosting the 2026 G20 summit at Trump's National Doral, a resort owned by him in the Miami area. While talking about the summit, he pointed out, "Everybody wants it there because it's right next to the airport, it's the best location, it's beautiful, a beautiful everything." Trump also said that the venue will operate at 'cost’ and Trump will not make any profit. Notably, Trump had earlier in his first term planned to host the G7 summit at Trump's National Doral, but after backlash from Republicans and Democrats, the plan was abandoned. However, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, it was abandoned altogether. "Each country will have its own building. I think it will be really a beautiful thing," said Trump. He reasoned that, being in December, most of the resort in Miami is already booked, so it was only reasonable to host it at Trump National Doral.

'Each country will have its own building': Trump to host 2026 G20 Summit at Trump National Doral

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) signed an executive order, rebranding the Department of Defence as the Department of War, a name that hasn’t been used in over 70 years. Trump said that the move is indeed to “send a message of victory.” He said that the current name of the Pentagon was “too wokey” and failed to project strength, adding that the old name was “more appropriate for where the world is right now”.The order signed by Trump allows the department to use the new name as a “secondary title”. To formally rename the Pentagon, Trump would require congressional approval.<h2>Why is Trump pushing to change the name of Pentagon?</h2>The recent executive order, which recognises Department of War as Pentagon’s secondary title, is not a surprise. Trump had expressed his desire to change the name in the past as well. Last month, Trump said that the Department of Defense “didn’t sound good to me... it used to be called the Department of War. It had a stronger sound, and as you know, we won World War I, we won World War II, we won everything. Now we have a Department of Defense; we’re defenders.”Vox reported that the US president told Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, “If you want to change it back to what it was when we used to win wars all the time, that’s okay with me.”<h2>History of Department of Defense</h2>Originally created as a cabinet-level body in 1789, the Department of War was renamed to Department of Defence in 1947. The department oversees the US armed services.While Trump is right that the United States had a Department of War, its functions were not the same as the present Department of Defence. According to Vox, the department was controlled the US Army, while the Navy was managed under a separate department.Then president Harry Truman and other senior military leaders belived that this division had resulted in weakened coordination during the war. The former president even said that due to this, the US was unable to prevent the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.“Truman and his top national security advisers believed that it was essential to integrate and rationalise both national security planning and the preparation of the war plans,” historian Melvyn Leffler said according to Vox.On Trump’s recent executive order, Leffler said, “Changing the name from defence to war implies a much greater desire to engage in bellicose policies. That might lead to actual armed conflict.”<h2>What it means now?</h2>The change of name days after China demonstrated its new range of weapons, drones and military systems in the massive parade. The move has been widely interpreted as a warning to Washing and is allies.This also comes amid the rising global tensions, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and Middle East conflicts.BBC reported that Pentagon’s official website had already changed its domain to war.gov with a new headline ‘US Department of War’.

Health experts in California have raised concerns that nearly 100,000 people are affected by the potentially fatal Chagas disease and are now lying dormant. Chagas disease is caused by a parasite that lives inside the lethal ‘Kissing Bug’, officially known as Triatomine.&nbsp;The bug is called 'Kissing Bug' because it bites near the mouth, lips or eyes at night. While the bite itself is not lethal, it carries a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which triggers Chagas disease. This remains unnoticed for several years before causing serious, sometimes fatal complications like cardiac arrest and strokes.&nbsp;The Kissing Bug was once found in Mexico, Central America and South America. &nbsp;However, it is now also available in 30 US states and is estimated to be found among 70,000 to 100,000 Californians, as well as approximately 280,000 in the United States. The disease is more prevalent in California because a significant portion of Californian residents are coming from the country where the disease is endemic. Globally, nearly 8 million people have Chagas disease, mostly from Latin American Countries. According to the California Health Department, 31 of 40 human cases reported between 2013 and 2023 were acquired in other countries.The researcher said that Chagas disease is dangerous because it does not show any early symptoms like fatigue, fever, or body aches, which often mimic other illnesses. The researchers warn that the parasite can silently damage the body over decades.In the US, there are roughly 12 species of ‘Kissing Bugs’, and four are found in California. The disease has also been spotted in wood rats, skunks and mice. There is no vaccine available, and the only way to reduce exposure is to prevent contact with the insect. The researchers have requested the World Health Organisation and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention to classify the disease as endemic.&nbsp;

Experts warn that up to 100,000 Californians may be living with Chagas disease, spread by kissing bugs, a silent but deadly parasite-carrying insect.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) appeared to fumble while speaking about hostages held in Gaza, giving conflicting numbers and even suggesting the United States was in direct negotiations with Hamas. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed that America was in "deep negotiation" with Hamas even as he warned that more Israeli hostages may have died in Gaza. The 79-year-old also presented a litany of conflicting numbers in one speech. He first said that "over 30 bodies" were part of the current talks before abruptly shifting to different figures.<h2>38, 20, or 30?</h2>Trump, who happens to be the oldest US president to be elected, first claimed that over 30 bodies were part of the hostage talks. "There could be some that have recently died, is what I'm hearing. I hope that's wrong, but you have over 30 bodies in this negotiation," he told reporters in the Oval Office.However, at another point, he claimed there were "about 38 dead people — young, beautiful dead people," later lowering the number to 20, then raising it back to 30.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/did-modi-s-snub-over-trump-s-nobel-peace-prize-push-lead-to-50-tariffs-for-india-shocking-report-claims-this-1756605189312">Modi rejected Trump's Nobel prize fantasy during call, reveals shocking report — 50% tariff the price of POTUS' bruised ego?</a><h2>How many hostages are there actually?</h2>According to AFP, the Israeli military maintains that of the 251 people taken hostage during Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, 47 remain in Gaza. Officials say 25 of them are confirmed dead, and Israel is seeking the return of their remains.Trump's shifting numbers stood in stark contrast to those official figures, leaving reporters puzzled about whether he was referring to new intelligence or simply misspeaking. This confusing statement comes amidst rumours about the aged Republican's health, which includes dementia worries.The president added another eyebrow-raising claim when he said Washington was in "very deep negotiation with Hamas."

Speaking to the press, US President Donald Trump gave conflicting numbers regarding the Israeli hostages held in Gaza even as he claimed that the US was in "deep negotiation" with Hamas. Here's what he said

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) appeared to fumble while speaking about hostages held in Gaza, giving conflicting numbers and even suggesting the United States was in direct negotiations with Hamas. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed that America was in "deep negotiation" with Hamas even as he warned that more Israeli hostages may have died in Gaza. The 79-year-old also presented a litany of conflicting numbers in one speech. He first said that "over 30 bodies" were part of the current talks before abruptly shifting to different figures. 38, 20, or 30? Trump, who happens to be the oldest US president to be elected, first claimed that over 30 bodies were part of the hostage talks. "There could be some that have recently died, is what I'm hearing. I hope that's wrong, but you have over 30 bodies in this negotiation," he told reporters in the Oval Office. However, at another point, he claimed there were "about 38 dead people — young, beautiful dead people," later lowering the number to 20, then raising it back to 30.

According to AFP, the Israeli military maintains that of the 251 people taken hostage during Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, 47 remain in Gaza. Officials say 25 of them are confirmed dead, and Israel is seeking the return of their remains. Trump's shifting numbers stood in stark contrast to those official figures, leaving reporters puzzled about whether he was referring to new intelligence or simply misspeaking. This confusing statement comes amidst rumours about the aged Republican's health, which includes dementia worries. The president added another eyebrow-raising claim when he said Washington was in "very deep negotiation with Hamas."

Trump confused about Gaza hostage count? Gives conflicting numbers, says 'young, beautiful dead people…'

Canada has raised fresh concerns about Khalistani extremist groups operating within its borders, pointing out how they have been raising funds, including through the abuse of charitable organisations, to support violent activities. The warning, outlined in the Canadian Finance Ministry’s 2025 "Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks", highlights the challenge of Khalistani extremism and its implications for both domestic and international security.The report singles out groups like Babbar Khalsa International and the International Sikh Youth Federation, alongside other organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, as entities that have been “observed by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to receive financial support originating from Canada.” These groups, the report notes, are suspected of leveraging networks in Canada to solicit donations, often exploiting nonprofit organisations (NPOs) to funnel funds for their activities. “Khalistani violent extremist groups have been known to use networks to solicit donations from diaspora communities to raise and move funds, including through NPOs (nonprofit organisations),” the report states, highlighting how these activities exploit Canada’s charitable sector.&nbsp;The report acknowledges that Khalistani extremist networks in Canada have shifted from large, organised fundraising operations to smaller, fragmented groups. It said these groups "previously had an extensive fundraising network in Canada but now appear to consist of smaller pockets of individuals with allegiance to the cause but seemingly no particular affiliation to a specific group".India has repeatedly voiced concerns over the activities of Khalistani extremist groups, and India has listed Khalistani terrorists in Canada. Khalistani extremism gained international attention after the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182, a tragedy orchestrated by Canada-based extremists that claimed 329 lives, mostly Canadians of Indian descent. The attack remains one of the deadliest acts of terrorism in Canadian history and continues to shape India’s concerns about the activities of Khalistani extremist elements in Canada.&nbsp;New Delhi has pointed to events like so-called “Khalistan referendums” and rallies in Canada as evidence of unchecked extremist activity. The Canadian finance Ministry’s report findings align with India's concerns. Earlier this year, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) further amplified these concerns in its annual report to Parliament, labelling Canada-based Khalistani extremists (CBKEs) a national security threat.After the fall in ties under former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, both Delhi and Ottawa are working to normalise ties. Last month, both sides reinstated high commissioners in what is seen as sign of recovery in ties.
