US President Donald Trump announced this Wednesday afternoon that Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her post at the end of the month. In a post on Truth Social, the commander-in-chief explained that Leavitt is stepping down to be with her family. Recently, the White House spokeswoman had been on maternity leave after having her second child. "From now on, she will be one of my top advisors outside the administration, and an influential voice within the party as we work to win the midterm elections," the commander-in-chief wrote.

Donald Trump did not return from the NATO summit held in Ankara with the old Air Force One, as the White House had reported at the time. On July 8, the US president did not use either the old presidential plane or the new Boeing gifted by Qatar, but rather Air Force C-32. The Secret Service used the catering vehicle to secretly transfer the Republican from one plane to another, according to government sources revealed to various US media outlets. The Washington Post, the first to break the exclusive story, explains that an Iranian threat to assassinate Trump triggered the operation.

Donald Trump already has a new attorney general, a man of his utmost confidence. Todd Blanche, who was the president's lawyer and who until now held the interim position, has been confirmed by the United States Senate. Blanche's confirmation marks the culmination of the process by which Trump has transformed the Department of Justice into his personal retribution ministry. Blanche assumed the role of interim attorney general in the spring after the US president dismissed Pam Bondi without giving any public explanation.

In 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to replicate Donald Trump's effect by adopting part of his political framework. However, the strategy of shifting further to the right resulted in an electoral defeat that left the party leadership directionless. Now, figures like progressive Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan or socialist Melat Kiros in Colorado are winning the Democratic primaries by doing the opposite: they are maintaining their own agenda and rejecting theTrump's brand, but they use his tools, like the attack on the establishment, to channel social discontent.

Morocco likes to recall that it was the first country to recognize the independence of the United States. A long-standing relationship that has accelerated dramatically under Donald Trump. The trigger was when, in 2020, Rabat adhered to the Abraham Accords, promoted by the Republican during his first term to normalize relations between Israel and Arab countries. In exchange, Washington recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. This transaction laid the groundwork for the current triangulation of interests between the US, Israel, and Morocco in Africa.

Abdul El-Sayed has confirmed that the anti-establishment wave within the Democratic Party is not a cosmopolitan fever. After an agonizing vote count that stretched into Wednesday morning, the progressive candidate has proclaimed himself the winner of the Michigan Senate primaries against congresswoman Haley Stevens. He did so with a difference of 20,000 votes, a narrow margin of 0.9 points with 95% of votes counted. The electoral contest in this Midwestern state has been one of the most expensive due to the amount of money that the pro-Israeli lobby AIPAC injected into Stevens' candidacy in an attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, to unseat El-Sayed.

SpaceX, Elon Musk's company, has registered revenues of 7.8 billion dollars during the second quarter of this year, 92% more than during the same period last year. This Tuesday's announcement was widely expected by the markets, as it is the first earnings report as a publicly traded company. On June 12, the aerospace company made the leap to Wall Street on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX.

The law to change how voting works in the United States, the Save Act, is not the only parliamentary process that has stalled for Donald Trump. The American president is grappling with his senators to get Todd Blanche ratified as attorney general. Currently, Blanche, who is his former lawyer, is holding the position on an interim basis. Two Republican lawmakers, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, had become the main roadblock. But now, their stance has changed due to Blanche's concessions in the deal Trump struck with the tax agency (IRS, in its English acronym).

In Washington, the summer heat is unavoidable, but Donald Trump and the Iranian regime are once again repeating the loop of crossed statements from last spring. The only difference is that this back and forth is happening in a post-ceasefire scenario and where Tehran seems to have already gauged the US president. This Monday morning, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Esmaeil Baghaei, said that his country is not holding talks with the US, thus contradicting the announcement Trump had made on Sunday evening aboard Air Force One.

Within some sectors of Trumpism, Ukraine is no longer viewed with the same suspicion as a year ago. On Tuesday, the Volodymyr Zelensky leaving the White House was not the president tortured by the shouts of his American counterpart, Donald Trump, but a man optimistic about the chances of regaining Washington's support. The change, moreover, occurs at a time when Kyiv has theoretically lost one of its great allies in the American Congress following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. But it seems to have gained the sympathy of an influential name within the tycoon's inner circle and the MAGA sphere: Laura Loomer.

The casualties in the Iran war are becoming increasingly burdensome for the White House. US President Donald Trump still insists that he is "winning" the conflict, but recent changes in the Pentagon's casualty and injury count say otherwise. The last four soldiers killed in the conflict have been accounted for in other categories not linked to Operation Epic Fury, the name the president gave to the offensive. Technically, only fourteen of the eighteen casualties to date are now recognized as linked to the campaign.

Donald Trump backtracks and now says he has not given Ukraine permission to manufacture US Patriot missiles. The US president said this Friday during the White House cabinet meeting that the US has not agreed to it and that they "must be very careful about allowing anyone to manufacture them." At the beginning of the month, during the NATO summit in Ankara, the magnate had announced the exact opposite, that they would allow Kyiv to have US technology to, possibly, manufacture Patriots in its territory.

United States President Donald Trump said early Friday that his Peace Board has reached an agreement "for the complete disarmament of Hamas." The militia has confirmed that they have signed the agreement, but they link it to Tel Aviv fulfilling its part of the 20-point peace agreement, that is, withdrawing troops from the Strip. Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad pointed out in statements to Arab media that the pact includes this "obligation" from Israel." Benjamin Netanyahu's executive, on the other hand, remains silent. Thus, for all practical purposes, the situation is identical to what it was before the announcement. It is still too early to say that this is the "monumental breakthrough" that Trump is touting.

Amidst the uncertainty, Kevin Warsh's Federal Reserve (Fed) has opted for prudence and has kept interest rates unchanged around 3.5%. According to the statement from the U.S. central bank, there were three dissenting votes on the institution's governing council that favored raising rates by 0.25 points.

This time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does have "cards" to play the game. Or at least to make his American counterpart, Donald Trump, take an interest again in the almost forgotten war in Ukraine. With the conflict in Iran stalled, the Ukrainian leader has reminded the Republican that he can revive the peace process he initiated last year to end the Russian invasion. "We talked about diplomacy; it is important that the process be reactivated," Zelensky said in a statement on X about the closed-door meeting he had with Trump this Tuesday at the White House.

The US President, Donald Trump, and the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, have positively assessed this Tuesday's meeting at the White House. Both sides have avoided making any further comments on the closed-door meeting at a time when their relationship has been visibly affected by discrepancies over the war in Iran. The entrenchment of the conflict, which has already lasted five months, has only intensified friction.

For the vast majority of Americans, artificial intelligence has appeared in their lives in the form of a chatbot. For others, however, it has also materialized in concrete bunkers, full of servers and cables, that they can see from their own windows. When one of these giants appears, in many municipalities the water pressure drops – or the supply fails altogether – and residents begin to notice health problems.

In his conviction to maintain the trade war, Donald Trump has announced a new tariff package that replaces the universal taxes that the Supreme Court annulled in February. The US president has signed a new executive order establishing levies of between 10% and 12.5% on more than 60 countries, including members of the European Union, China, and Mexico. The leader justifies this as retaliation against these states for not having taken sufficient measures to control imports of goods produced through forced labor. Furthermore, hours later, Trump also accused the EU of harming American companies through multimillion-dollar fines and threatened to impose a new tariff "as soon as possible".

The unease caused by artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in the places where they are built is becoming increasingly difficult for the White House to ignore. U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday an expansion of the plan he presented in March to protect citizens from the cost overruns these centers cause in public service bills. The initiative, however, is not binding. In total, it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 data centers already operating in the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump has now said that the nuclear deal with the Saudis is subject to the Gulf monarchy adhering to the Abraham Accords. "It will be approved, but it is totally conditioned on Saudi Arabia adhering to the highly respected and successful Abraham Accords," he said this Thursday morning on Truth Social, where he stressed that "there will be no enrichment" of uranium. Trump pushed for the Abraham Accords during his first administration to normalize relations between Arab countries and Israel. While some states like Morocco and the United Arab Emirates joined, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other major regional powers remain outside.
