Putin Dollar Shock For Trump After BRICS Declaration? Russia's Big De-Dollarisation Announcement
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov clarified that BRICS nations don't aim to replace the US dollar, but rather seek alternatives for mutual settlements to circumvent US sanctions. He stated BRICS intends to trade in national currencies, with Russia already conducting 90% of payments with partners in local denominations. This counters US President Trump's concerns and threats of tariffs on BRICS countries, who are also developing "BRICS Pay," a decentralized blockchain payment system for cross-border transactions.

Judge weighing disciplinary referral for DOJ lawyers in Venezuela deportations case

By Jan Wolfe Judge weighing disciplinary referral for DOJ lawyers in Venezuela deportations case WASHINGTON, - U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said on Thursday he may initiate disciplinary proceedings against Justice Department lawyers for their conduct in a lawsuit brought by Venezuelans challenging their removal to a Salvadoran prison in March. Boasberg, a prominent Washington, D.C., judge who has drawn President Donald Trump's ire, said during a court hearing that a recent whistleblower complaint had strengthened the argument that Trump administration officials engaged in criminal contempt of court by failing to turn around deportation flights. Boasberg also raised the prospect of referring Justice Department lawyers to state bar associations, which have the authority to discipline unethical conduct by attorneys. "I will certainly be assessing whether government counsel's conduct and veracity to the court warrant a referral to state bars or our grievance committee, which determines lawyers' fitness to practice in our court," Boasberg said. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment. Boasberg has been hearing an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit brought on behalf of alleged Venezuelan gang members removed from the U.S. under a rarely invoked 18th-century law. The detainees in the case were returned to Venezuela last week as part of a prisoner exchange, after spending four months in El Salvador's CECOT prison. The migrants' lawyers have disputed the gang membership claims and said their clients were not given a chance to contest the government's assertions. Boasberg said in April that the Trump administration appeared to have acted 'in bad faith' when it hurriedly assembled three deportation flights on March 15 at the same time that he was conducting emergency court proceedings to assess the legality of the effort. In court filings, Justice Department lawyers have disputed that they disobeyed a court order, saying remarks Boasberg made from the bench were not legally binding. In a 2-1 order, a federal appeals court in April temporarily paused Boasberg's effort to further investigate whether the Trump administration engaged in criminal contempt. Boasberg said during Thursday's hearing that the delay from the appeals court was frustrating for the plaintiffs, and that a whistleblower complaint from Erez Reuveni, a former Justice Department attorney who was fired in April, strengthened the case for contempt. Reuveni described three separate incidents when Justice Department leaders defied court orders related to the deportation of immigrants living in the country illegally. Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a post on X, called Reuveni a "disgruntled employee" and a "leaker." This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

"We lost a great friend today": President Donald Trump pays tribute to Hulk Hogan after WWE icon dies at 71

Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan in 1988 (Image Source: Getty) Following the passing of WWE icon Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea), U.S. President Donald Trump was one of many to pay tribute. Hulk Hogan passed away aged 71 from a cardiac arrest, in his Clearwater, Florida home on July 24, 2025. Trump said in a Truth Social post, ' We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, which was one of the highlights of the entire week. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!' President Donald Trump highlighted Hulk Hogan's political support Donald Trump's media adviser on Hogan's loyalty and enthusiasm for politics, stating that he had always played a role in working with the "Make America Great Again" movement. In July 2024, at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Hogan shocked the nation in full "Trumpamania" style. When looking like he was getting ready to go the full Rambo, ripping his shirt open and revealing a Trump campaign tank top, he yelled, "Let Trumpamania run wild! That speech was, he said, 'one of the highlights of the entire week,' indicating cultural relevance. — wrestlelamia (@wrestlelamia) Aside from that memorable encounter, Hogan continued to be a Trump booster. He also hit the campaign trail with Trump Jr. and other MAGA stars, making appearances at rallies and banging the drum for Trump's agenda, including endorsing Trump's Real American beer brand on Truth Social. Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan: A friendship forged over three decades Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan's relationship goes back to the 1980s and was first strengthened when it was first introduced at WWE events and Trump's casino interests in Atlantis City. They met at WrestleMania IV and V, which were held at Trump Plaza, and the two formed a mutual admiration society. Although Hogan told me their relationship was 'more casual, though meaningful,' Trump apparently saw him as a close aide, calling him a 'great friend.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade! IC Markets Learn More Undo In his tribute, Trump extended his sympathies to Hogan's wife, Sky, and his two children, Brooke and Nick, calling Hogan as lovely as he was, "talented.' Trump said he conveys his best wishes and love to "his wife, Sky, and family." Also Read: Hulk Hogan's death: Health issues, cardiac arrest, and the life he left behind WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan changed the professional wrestling landscape in the 1980s with his larger-than-life image and trademark catchphrases. He has main-evented eight of the first nine Wrestlemanias and appeared in the mainstream, with parts in Rocky III and a ride of his own with Hogan Knows Best. He remained a presence, even if controversial (he was briefly removed from the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2015, only to be reinstated in 2020). The tribute from Trump is likewise mirrored by those from Hogan's WWE peers—Ric Flair, Brutus Beefcake, and from fellow MAGA sounders such as Vice President JD Vance, who deemed Hogan a "great American icon". The far-reaching condolences reflect Hogan's storied success in both entertainment and politics, and in Trump's orbit.

'Immediate ceasefire': US calls for peace between Thailand-Combodia; ancient temple row sparked fresh bloodshed

Thailand's Phanom Dong Rak hospital after Cambodian firing (AP photo) United States has urged an immediate end to the fighting between Thailand and Cambodia, asking both sides to protect civilians and resolve the issue peacefully. "The United States urges an immediate cessation of hostilities, protection of civilians and a peaceful resolution of the conflict," said state department spokesperson Tommy Pigott. LIVE: State Department Press Briefing by Tommy Pigott | Cambodia-Thailand Border | Tariffs | Trump Tensions flared again this week near the disputed temples of Ta Muen and Ta Moan Thom. The fighting reportedly began when Thai troops spotted Cambodian soldiers and a drone in the area. Thailand claims it came under fire first; Cambodia says it was defending its land. Nine Thai civilians, including a child, have been killed. A Thai hospital was reportedly hit by Cambodian artillery, and a landmine blast injured five Thai soldiers. Thailand responded by closing its borders, expelling the Cambodian ambassador, and issuing evacuation alerts. Cambodia, in turn, downgraded ties and accused Thailand of airstrikes and illegal aggression. With both countries exchanging fire and words, diplomatic ties have collapsed quickly. The ancient temple conflict has a long history, but this week's violence is among the worst in years.
