Trump recommends daughter-in-law Lara Trump for North Carolina Senate seat: See her net worth and career roles
President Donald Trump has suggested his first choice to replace Senator Thom Tillis (North Carolina-R) who will not be seeking re-election in 2026. Lara Trump, the wife of Trump's son Eric Trump, has been suggested as a possible replacement.

She grew up there, but they live in Florida. She's a great person, Lara Trump. I mean, that would always be my first choice. But she doesn't live there now, but she's there all the time,' Trump said during a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One recently. As of May 7, 2025, Celebrity Net Worth reports Lara Trump's net worth to stand at $20 million. Not only is this a result of her marrying into one of America's most affluent families but also a product of her former work in television production, aspiring musical passions, and public speaking roles. News production From 2012-16, Lara worked as a producer and story coordinator for the tabloid television show 'Inside Edition'. She later transitioned into a contributor for the Fox News Channel in 2021, a brief stint that ended in December 2022 following Trump's announcement to run for re-election, since the channel did not keep employees with connections to active political candidates. Although her exact salary from Fox remains unknown, Glassdoor reports that contributors earn somewhere between $61,655 and $67,195 annually. This amount could be higher for her considering RedLasso's revelation of contributor salaries varying as per influence and audience appeal. Launched in 2020, 'The Right View' is a podcast featuring discussions with conservative women on key political and cultural issues. Political roles Lara played an active role in Trump's 2016 presidential campaign by championing the Trump-Pence Women's Empowerment Tour along with serving as a senior consultant to Brad Parscale, an advisor for the digital operations and data aspect of the 2020 campaign. In 2024, she was endorsed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC)- an outlet meant to raise funds to fulfill their mission of ensuring Trump a re-election to the White House. Once she stepped down from that role, she gave an interview to the New York Post where she hailed the president as a 'champion for women'. Music and books Lara's short but budding musical career broke out in 2023 when she dropped a cover of Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' which secured the sixth spot on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales Chart. 'Colors Don't Run', 'Anything is Possible' and 'Hero' are other songs in her discography. She also collaborated with BRAVE Books to create a Christian children's book titled 'The Never Give-Up Pup!' teaching the value of perseverance and hard work. "Lara Trump: A Look Into Her Political Ambitions" is a 2024 book by author James M Daniels that prominently features her. – By Stuti Gupta

Turkey Foreign Minister Hosts Hamas Leadership For Talks On Gaza Ceasefire, Humanitarian Situation
'Will Cross That Bridge When...' Jaishankar Responds to 500% US Tariff Threat Over Russia Bill External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar addressed growing concerns over Senator Lindsey Graham's proposed U.S. sanctions bill, which threatens a 500% tariff on countries importing Russian oil. With over 80 Senate co-sponsors, the bill may become veto-proof. Jaishankar confirmed India's embassy and ambassador are in active contact with Graham, and emphasized India's energy and security interests. He clarified that India will deal with the situation 'if and when it comes.' The proposed bill has sparked global concern, with potential carve-outs for Ukraine-supporting nations. As India continues energy imports from Russia, this development could test India-US ties.

US Lifts Chip Design Software Curbs on China in Trade Deal
President Donald Trump's administration has lifted recent export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, as Washington and Beijing implement a trade deal for both countries to ease some restrictions on critical technologies. The US Commerce Department informed the world's three leading semiconductor design software providers — Synopsys Inc., Cadence Design Systems Inc. and Germany's Siemens AG — that requirements to seek government licenses for business in China are no longer in place, according to company statements. Siemens has restored full access to its software and technology for Chinese customers, the company said, while Synopsys and Cadence said they're in the process of resuming such services in the Asian country. The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about its notices that lifted the curbs, which were also imposed on smaller makers of electronic design automation, or EDA, tools. White House officials cracked down on EDA sales to China in May as part of a raft of measures responding to Beijing's limits on shipments of essential rare earths. Under a trade agreement finalized last week, Washington promised to allow shipments of EDA software, as well as ethane and jet engines, to China — provided Beijing first honor its pledge to speed export approvals for critical minerals used in everything from wind turbines to airplanes. The move to lift EDA curbs is a sign that the accord reached in London — which would bring the countries back to the terms of a deal struck the previous month in Geneva — is indeed being implemented. In addition to chip software sales, the US last week allowed makers of a critical petroleum product to transport gas tankers to Chinese ports, and then fully removed those license requirements this week, ethane companies said Wednesday. Beijing also achieved a higher-level longtime goal: Washington has now put export controls, a national security tool historically treated as non-negotiable, on the table in trade talks. When the EDA controls were first imposed, industry officials saw little reason to question whether they'd stick. The US for years used export controls to limit China's access to advanced chips and the equipment needed to make them, in an effort to prevent Beijing from developing advanced AI that could benefit its military. Expanding that campaign to encompass EDA software — used to design everything from high-end Nvidia Corp. and Apple Inc. processors to simple parts like power-regulation components — was a longtime priority for some China hawks in Washington. And the Trump administration had just shown it would intensify China chip curbs by tightening restrictions on Nvidia's sales. But the EDA measures were unusual because US officials offered little detail on what was and wasn't allowed — parameters that typically are discussed at length during a formal regulatory process. Then, barely two weeks after their imposition, National Economic Council head Kevin Hassett, speaking at the start of London trade talks, said the US may ease semiconductor controls he described as 'very important' to China. While Hassett and other senior Trump officials said curbs on Nvidia chips weren't up for discussion, the industry lacked clarity throughout the London meetings — and for weeks thereafter — about when, and whether, the EDA curbs would be lifted. Ultimately, some Washington officials were relieved to see the US offer what they saw as lower-priority semiconductor concessions to Beijing, Bloomberg has reported — safeguarding, at least for now, the Nvidia chip export limits they view as vital. But some also see controls on EDA as a crucial step in their own right, one that that shouldn't be negotiated away as part of any trade deal. 'EDA software sales had been one of the few remaining inputs to Huawei's chip development left untouched,' said Ryan Fedasiuk, a former State Department China adviser, in reference to the telecom giant at the center of Beijing's semiconductor ambitions. 'Restricting EDA licenses would have dealt a decisive blow to the company's next-gen chip design timelines, and hobbled its competitiveness in global markets.' EDA companies, meanwhile, are contending with a new worry, Bloomberg has reported: Even with access to the Chinese market restored, customers there may hunt for other suppliers or further develop domestic capabilities in response to heightened geopolitical risks.
