The family of a key survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse urged President Donald Trump on Wednesday not to consider clemency for the late financier’s co-conspirator and confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell. The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a sexual abuse advocate who died by suicide in April, made their plea to Trump in a public statement after he told reporters that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where she worked as a locker-room attendant at age 16 during the summer of 2000. Follow live politics coverage here Giuffre’s family called Trump’s admission…
Türkiye’s domestically developed long-range air defense missile system, Siper, has successfully passed its serial production acceptance tests, marking a decisive leap in the country’s bid for a self-sufficient and layered national air shield. The breakthrough was announced Wednesday by Defense Industry Agency (SSB) President Haluk Görgün, who hailed the development on the NeXT Sosyal platform as a key moment in strengthening the nation’s airspace security, widely known as the “Sky Homeland.” Developed by leading Turkish defense firms ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, and TÜBİTAK SAGE under SSB’s coordination, the Siper system is designed to intercept high-altitude threats, including fighter jets, ballistic missiles, cruise…
Key takeaways: Ether runs into resistance at $4,000, but strong technicals and rising institutional demand could drive ETH into price discovery. Ether’s ascending triangle pattern targets an ETH price of as high as $16,700. Ether (ETH) trades 23% below its $5,000 all-time high reached in November 2021, as the $4,000 level remains the key resistance to break. Multiple analysts believe the largest altcoin is ready for a breakout that will usher in “its biggest move of the cycle.” Ether technicals target a five-digit ETH priceETH price has already risen by over 300% since establishing a cycle low of around $880…
Opinion by: Tracy Jin, chief operating officer of MEXC While Ethereum remains the core infrastructure for DeFi and smart contract innovation, it still hasn’t solved its most significant promise: mass adoption. After nearly a decade of development, Ethereum-based apps are still too complex, fragmented and expensive for the average user. The Open Network (TON) is betting on a completely different future, and that’s already unfolding inside Telegram. With over 900 million users globally, Telegram is the largest active social layer in crypto, and TON is the only blockchain natively embedded into it. This isn’t just about building decentralized applications; it’s…
European complaints about the trade agreement they just signed with the United States are almost universal. But will the tariffs America has imposed on half the world be effective? The issue is highly controversial, and the consensus is that they possibly won’t be. Clearly, they are a US gamble to fix its economy and signal both domestically and internationally its determination to do so. Once that decision was made, what can a weak and divided EU practically do? Perhaps the real point of the US-EU trade deal is that it came immediately after China and the EU failed to reach…
The most epic reverse colonization in history happened with a handshake. At the Scotland Summit (July 27), European leaders queued up to sign away their continent’s economic sovereignty while cameras flashed and everybody smiled. The irony would be breathtaking if it weren’t so tragic: the heirs of empires that once carved up Asia and Africa with fountain pens have themselves been carved up by an American president with a Truth Social account. Donald Trump’s genuine achievement is that the law of the jungle has been consecrated as legitimate in international relations. What makes this transformation particularly grotesque is how willingly…
Media reports say US Senator Roger Wicker may visit Taiwan after President William Lai Ching-te cancelled a trip to Latin America. Taipei, Taiwan – A senior United States Republican legislator is reportedly planning a trip to Taiwan, according to media reports, where fears have been growing that US President Donald Trump is losing interest in relations with the democratic, self-ruled island in favour of building ties with China. The Financial Times reported on Thursday that US Senator Roger Wicker from Mississippi is planning to visit Taiwan in August, citing three people familiar with the matter. Wicker is the Republican chair…
Trump has withheld hundreds of millions in federal funds from top universities in effort to reshape US higher education. Brown University has become the third Ivy League campus to reach a deal with the administration of United States President Donald Trump, in a bid to restore frozen federal funding. The agreement, announced on Wednesday, is the latest instance of an elite US school bargaining with the president and acceding to his demands. As part of the deal, Brown will pay $50m over 10 years to improve Rhode Island’s workforce development programmes. It will also commit to supporting its local Jewish…
Older adults who participated in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, had a slower rate of cognitive decline than people who were eligible for the anti-hunger program but didn’t receive benefits, according to a study presented Wednesday. Although many adults begin to mentally slow down in midlife, researchers found that people over 50 who participated in SNAP, which helps people with low incomes afford groceries, had a 10% slower rate of decline in their memory and thinking skills compared with their peers. That’s equal to gaining two to three additional years of cognitive health over 10 years, said Linlin…
