In a revealing interview with The Atlantic, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he’s now “running the world” and is enjoying his second term far more than his first. He described his current leadership role as “fun,” despite calling it “serious stuff.” Trump also addressed past remarks about a potential third term, brushing them off as unlikely. His comments—while dramatic—spark new debates about power, global influence, and political ambition as the Trump era continues to stir global headlines.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party, has lost his seat in Carleton to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy, marking the end of his personal political career that began in 2004.

Deadly violence erupted in Jaramana, a Druze and Christian-majority suburb near Damascus, after a leaked audio recording allegedly insulting Islamic religious figures triggered outrage. On April 28, reports say Islamist HTS forces stormed the area, leading to intense gunfire and shelling that lasted around 30 minutes. At least four Druze fighters were killed, with unverified reports suggesting dozens injured or over 20 dead. The incident highlights rising sectarian tensions under HTS rule in Syria, as the region remains on edge following similar clashes in March.

In a fiery speech, he said nine attacks targeted US naval assets in response to the Gaza war. Al-Houthi condemned Israel’s siege of Gaza, calling it genocide, and criticized Arab governments and media for their silence.
