White House

Global Reset

Donald Trump’s return to the White House is expected to bring seismic shifts in US foreign policy, with implications for regions already grappling with escalating conflicts and complex geopolitical rivalries.

Trump appoints first-ever woman Chief of Staff

US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed his campaign manager Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff, the first woman to hold the influential cabinet position heading the White House executive office.

Uncertainties of a Trumpian world

Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025, combined with a Republican-led US Senate, was widely feared among international allies and will be cheered by some of America’s foes.

Now the courtroom

Now a private citizen, Trump is stripped of his protection from legal liability that the Presidency afforded him. That change in status is something that even Republicans, who voted on Saturday to acquit him of inciting the ugly developments as 2021 unfolded, are emphasising as they urge Americans to move on from impeachment.

Pakistan relents

It thus comes about that the Supreme Court has been urged to review the decision to free the British-born Pakistani, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and his three accomplices who had been convicted for kidnapping and beheading the American journalist, Daniel Pearl.

Watershed Initiative

Civil rights groups have, however, made it clear they will press for more sweeping changes in the months ahead. America’s black, indigenous and Asian-American populations must keep their fingers crossed.

A long time coming

After the Georgia election, whose election of two Democrats likely enflamed the rioters even more, Joe Biden now has a Democratic- controlled Senate and Congress with which to work out a recovery plan. If he fails, his advantage will last as long as Obama's did. Two years. Then comes a smarter, slicker version of Trump, if not the oaf himself again. So why would anyone bother with another coup attempt?
