Trump Media users can now access streaming channels and on-demand video through the Truth apps on iOS, Android, web, and connected TV platforms, including Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku.
The launch of Truth+ TV streaming platform also allows conservative news channel Newsmax to increase its presence outside the United States.
Truth Media, which also operations 'Truth Social', is largely owned by US President Donald Trump.
"We're gratified by the fast introduction of Truth+ to international markets and look forward to completing the rollout across all devices and operating systems. I'd like to thank Newsmax in particular for partnering with Trump Media for this expansion, which will bring the network's unique programming to major new markets. There is clearly a need globally for fresh perspectives on the great issues of our day, and we're laying the groundwork to challenge the woke news monolith with hard-hitting, non-woke reporting and commentary," said Trump Media's CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes.

Trump spares India tariff threat missive as he unloads on allies Japan and South Korea

Donald Trump TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday said Washington is close to clinching a trade deal with India even as he lowered the boom on more than a dozen countries including close allies, while sparing New Delhi. Trump sounded optimistic about an agreement with New Delhi, telling reporters, "We are close to making a deal with India," while repeating his incessant claim that he had stopped an all-out war between India and Pakistan by threatening to cut off access to US markets. Neither country has attributed their truce to tariff threats, but the US President obsessively cites that to illustrate the use of trade as an instrument of American power. On Monday, Trump, by most accounts, brought a wrecking ball to global trade with a tirade against much of the world, which in his view has been ripping of the USA. Fourteen countries, rich and poor, big and small, allies and adversaries, were slammed with tariff warnings ranging from 40 percent to 25 percent unless they negotiated bilateral deals before August 1. India faces the same deadline without the almost identical sloppily-written letters Trump sent to 14 countries, although that could change any time given the US President's mercurial approach to strategic ties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo New Delhi has bought time mainly on account of protracted trade talks that have been going on for several months and are said to be in an advanced state. India has pledged to buy loads of American arms, energy, and other produce to whittle down the $ 45 billion trade deficit while at the same time seeking to protect its fragile agriculture sector that provides a livelihood to more than half its population. While the negotiating window is now narrow, there is no sign that India will throw in the towel, even as Trump prepares to throw the kitchen sink, as he did on Monday with long time allies Japan and South Korea, both slammed with around 25 per cent tariffs. In letters riddled with random capitalisation and poor grammar and syntax, Trump told the prime minister of Japan, a US treaty ally, that the trade surplus Tokyo has run up against Washington constituted a "major threat" to US national security. Identical letters citing threat to US national security was sent to leaders of Bosnia & Herzogovina (whose female President Zeljka Cvijanović was addressed as Mr President), Cambodia and Bangladesh, which have small trade surpluses with Washington with exports in the paltry billions. Trump and his team also dialled down expectations of "90 deals in 90 days" that they had talked up at the start of the tariff war the US President initiated. Having negotiated only a framework for three sketchy agreements, Trump indicated most other countries would simply get a letter intimating them of tariff increases if they don't conclude an agreement by August 1. "It's all done," he maintained, even as aides acknowledged that instead of the White House phones "ringing off the hook" as they anticipated, many countries had not even contacted them.

Iran 'LEAKS' Netanyahu's 'SHOCKED' Image After Hamas Ambush; Israeli PM Left 'STUNNED'

Iranian media is circulating an image claiming Israeli PM Netanyahu was "shocked" by a recent Hamas ambush in northern Gaza, which left 5 IDF soldiers dead and 14 wounded. The attack in Beit Hanoun, involving an explosive device, occurred as Netanyahu met with Donald Trump in Washington. During their White House dinner, Netanyahu reportedly advocated for relocating Palestinians from Gaza and transforming the area into a "luxury waterfront."

"There Will Be No Change": Trump Rules Out Extension To August 1 Tariff Deadline

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would not extend an August 1 deadline for higher US tariffs to take effect on dozens of economies, a day after he appeared to signal flexibility on the date. While Trump imposed a sweeping 10 percent tariff on goods from almost all trading partners in April, higher rates customized to dozens of economies were unveiled, then halted until July 9. But the president this week again delayed their reimposition, pushing it back to August 1. Trump insisted that there would be no further delay in the tariffs. "There will be no change," he posted on Truth Social. He added that levies would start being paid on August 1, in line with letters now being sent out to trading partners. "No extensions will be granted," Trump said. On Monday night, Trump had told reporters at a dinner that the August 1 deadline was "firm, but not 100 percent firm." Pressed on whether the letters were his final offer, Trump replied: "I would say final -- but if they call with a different offer, and I like it, then we'll do it." In a push for further trade deals, Trump sent letters to more than a dozen partners on Monday, including key US allies Japan and South Korea. Products from both countries would be hit with 25 percent duties, Trump wrote in near-identical letters to leaders in Tokyo and Seoul. Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, South Africa and Malaysia were among other countries facing duties ranging from 25 percent to 40 percent. In his messages to foreign leaders, Trump warned of further escalation if there was retaliation against his levies. Most countries receiving the letters so far saw US tariffs at similar or unchanged rates from those threatened in April, although some like Laos and Cambodia saw notably lower levels. The Trump administration is under pressure to show results after promising a flurry of deals following the US president's tariff threats. So far Washington has only struck two pacts, with Britain and Vietnam, besides an agreement to dial back staggeringly high tit-for-tat levies with China. In threatening tariff hikes on various economies, Trump cited in his letters a lack of reciprocity in trading ties. He also warned that goods transshipped to avoid higher duties would be subjected to steeper levels. But he added that if countries were willing to adjust their trade policies, Washington "will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter." He said in the letters that tariffs could be modified "upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country."
