Donald Trump participated in an hour-long town hall with Fox News’s Sean Hannity in Pennsylvania, where he heavily criticized his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, ahead of their upcoming debate.

He promised that, if re-elected, he would carry out the “largest deportation” in U.S. history. Trump also warned, without evidence, that the country could face a “1929-style depression” if Harris were to win the presidency. Hannity’s questions were largely favorable, giving Trump space to assert his views. Get instant and latest news…

Michel Barnier, the former EU Brexit negotiator, has been appointed as the new French prime minister following weeks of political impasse. President Emmanuel Macron chose Barnier, a seasoned and moderate politician, to navigate the challenges of a hung parliament, with neither Macron’s centrist Renaissance bloc nor opposition parties holding a majority. Barnier is seen as an acceptable choice for both Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and parts of the Socialist Party, though his appointment has been criticized by leftist leaders like Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Barnier’s primary challenge will be to push through key reforms, including the 2025 budget, amid fierce opposition…

Chiejina emphasized that no contract has been finalized between Dangote Refinery and NNPCL, and the pricing of petrol is controlled by regulatory authorities, not Dangote Group. The clarification comes after the Chairman, Aliko Dangote, announced that the refinery is…

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments on Kamala Harris during the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok seem to be a blend of sarcasm and political commentary. His remarks about supporting Harris, made with a wry smile, likely reference the U.S. political landscape, where Moscow has often been accused of attempting to interfere in elections. Putin’s support for Harris can be interpreted as a sarcastic response, especially following U.S. accusations that Russia has been trying to influence the upcoming presidential election. His mention of Harris’s contagious laugh and the comparison of her potential actions to those of Trump, who imposed significant sanctions…
