White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt underscored Trump’s statement of commitment to NATO during a briefing on Wednesday. When pressed further about...
Congressional Republicans aren’t warming up to using military action to take a long-sought prize of President Donald Trump: Greenland. The colossal, resource-rich arctic island reentered the Trump administration’s orbit following the successful capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is predicting that the Cuban regime will fall, possibly in 2026 or 2027. Scott had said during an appearance last year on ’60 Minutes’ that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro’s days were ‘numbered,’ predicting that ‘whether it’s internal or external,’ something would ‘happen.’ He also predicted that the removal of Maduro would ‘be the end of Cuba.’ So far, the first part of the senator’s prediction has been fulfilled, as the U.S....

Leavitt said that the guidelines would impact what is served in public schools,...
The No. 3 leader in the House of Representatives is arguing that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz could be leaving office earlier than he intended, even after the progressive refused to resign over alleged widespread fraud in his state. ‘I think perhaps this is a lot deeper, a lot larger than we knew,’ Emmer told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. ‘Tim should do the right thing and resign. And if he doesn’t, I think he might...
The arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has reopened debate over whether the country’s long-isolated economy could soon re-engage with global markets, but analysts caution that sanctions relief and recovery are far from guaranteed. Venezuela is among the world’s most heavily sanctioned countries, alongside Russia, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Cuba, a status that has severely restricted its access to international finance and trade.
