Majority of Americans back Trump despite what lefty ‘radicals' think
Broadcaster and commentator Josh Bernstein reacts to recent polling suggesting the majority of Americans support US President Donald Trump's deportation policy. 'This president won this election based on the number one issue, which was, of course, immigration enforcement and closing down the border,' Mr Bernstein told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'This is exactly what this president has been able to do in record time … so the American people are still solidly for immigration enforcement regardless of what some of these radicals on the left think.'

Rubio makes first visit to Asia as Trump tariffs loom
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet Southeast Asian counterparts in his first visit to Asia since taking office, and will try to reassure them the region is a priority for Washington, even as President Donald Trump targets it in his global tariff offensive. Washington's top diplomat will meet foreign ministers of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations gathered in Kuala Lumpur, and also hold talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who is in the Malaysian capital, according to the US State Department. Rubio's trip is part of an effort to renew US focus on the Indo-Pacific and look beyond the conflicts in the Middle East and Europe that have consumed much of the Trump administration's attention, with Rubio balancing dual responsibilities as secretary of state and national security adviser. However, Trump's global tariff strategy is likely to cast a shadow over the trip, after the president announced steep tariffs to take effect on August 1 on six ASEAN members, including Malaysia, as well as on close allies Japan and South Korea. Rubio will nevertheless seek to firm up US relationships with partners and allies, who have been unnerved by the tariffs, and is likely to press the case that the United States remains a better partner than China, Washington's main strategic rival, experts say. Rubio will also meet Lavrov later on Thursday, according to the US State Department schedule. It will be the second in-person meeting between Rubio and Lavrov, and comes at a time when Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin as the war in Ukraine drags on. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is also expected to join talks from Thursday, but it was unclear if Rubio would meet him. A senior US State Department official told reporters on Monday that among Rubio's priorities on the trip was reaffirming Washington's commitment to the region, not just for its sake but because it promoted American prosperity and security. Security co-operation is a top priority, including the strategic South China Sea, and combating transnational crime, narcotics, scam centres, and trafficking in persons, the State Department official said. As well as their unease about Trump's tariff policies, many in the Indo-Pacific have doubts about the willingness of his "America First" administration to fully engage diplomatically and economically with the region. Trump said this week he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on Japan and South Korea and also took aim at ASEAN nations, announcing a 25 per cent levy on Malaysia, 32 per cent on Indonesia, 36 per cent on Cambodia and Thailand, and 40 per cent on Laos and Myanmar. Trump has also upset another key Indo-Pacific ally, Australia, which said on Wednesday it was "urgently seeking more detail" on his threat to raise tariffs to 200 per cent on pharmaceutical imports. According to a draft joint communique seen by Reuters, ASEAN foreign ministers will express "concern over rising global trade tensions and growing uncertainties in the international economic landscape, particularly the unilateral actions relating to tariffs". The draft before the latest US tariff rates were announced, does not mention the United States and uses language similar to an ASEAN leaders' statement in May. Both say tariffs are "counterproductive and risk exacerbating global economic fragmentation". Only Vietnam has secured a deal with Trump, which lowers the levy to 20 per cent from 46 per cent initially.
