President Trump on Wednesday responded to a report that China would be providing weapons to Iran in the coming weeks, saying he would be surprised and “disappointed” if true. Trump previously said that Xi Jinping had assured him that China would not provide weapons to Iran. According to Reuters, China was planning to provide shoulder-launched missile systems to Iran in a $60-70 million deal. Iran would receive 300-400 man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) in the coming weeks. China has since denied the report. “Things like that happen, but that would be surprising,” Trump told reporters on Thursday when asked about…
The Trump administration has banned imports of foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing national security concerns. The move is seen as action against China. “I am pleased that the FCC has now added foreign produced advanced robotics and power inverters to the FCC’s Covered List,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr said in a statement this week. The FCC Chair added that the commission took these actions in an effort to “secure America’s critical supply chains.” “Following President Trump’s leadership, the FCC will continue to do our part to secure America’s critical supply chains and, with today’s action, the FCC is acting in lock…
The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Iran are reportedly considering a plan to extort “fees” for safe passage of international shipping vessels in the Red Sea, modeled on Iran’s plans to collect ransoms for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters on Wednesday quoted “regional sources with knowledge of the matter” who said the Houthis are contemplating a plan to impose “fees” on ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Two of the regional officials who spoke to Reuters said the plan was hatched when Houthi representatives traveled to Iran in July…

Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday he has sent the Justice Department a new offer to resolve the standoff that has thrown Todd Blanche’s nomination as attorney general into limbo. The negotiations surround modifications to a controversial DOJ-brokered settlement agreement between President Donald Trump and the IRS. Cornyn said the administration remains “reluctant to change” the text of the settlement — which the Texas Republican says is essential to Blanche winning his vote. “We provided some additional paper that basically committed him to his sworn testimony from the Judiciary Committee — which, if he would put that in writing, would satisfy…

Iran is reportedly anticipating the first delivery installment of 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles within a matter of weeks, the fruit of a deal worth over $60 million arranged by a Hong Kong-based intermediary. The missile shipment was reported by Reuters on Wednesday, based on information from three sources who “spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.” Houthi supporters hold a rally in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, July 17, 2026, against the Saudi-led coalition.

The U.S. economy grew at a slower rate in the second quarter as surging imports masked strong underlying demand. The Commerce Department said Thursday that gross domestic product—the broad measure of goods and services produced in the U.S.—grew at an annual rate of 1.5 percent in the April through June period after adjusting for seasonality and inflation. Strong consumer spending and business investment were offset by lower government spending and a surge in imports related to the artificial intelligence buildout. That fell short of expectations for 1.8 percent growth. In the first quarter, the economy grew at a 2.1 percent pace.…
Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth when asked by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) if a red folder was sitting in front of him, showcasing the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief’s determination to shield himself from taking any responsibility for his many actions and lies to the public throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Fauci offered a hostile opening statement, chalking up his mandatory appearance before the committee to Sen. Paul’s “obvious obsession” with calling for his prosecution. He accused the senator of repeating “slanderous lies,” although he mentioned none, and he made sure to express his disapproval with Paul’s…
