Republican Senator Steve Daines will meet Premier Li Qiang on Sunday, a senior Chinese official announced as the strong supporter of US President Donald Trump visits Beijing.

The 62-year-old lawmaker has vowed to raise trade tensions and fentanyl smuggling during talks with Chinese officials.

The United States said Friday it was terminating the legal status of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, giving them weeks to leave the country.

President Donald Trump has pledged to carry out the largest deportation campaign in US history and curb immigration, mainly from Latin American nations.

His business is booming in India, but his golf courses have been vandalized in Ireland and Scotland, and he has had business setbacks in Indonesia: two months after his frenetic return to the White House, Donald Trump's brand has had mixed success worldwide.

No stranger to blending business and politics, the US president got a taste of the hazards recently when the elegant clubhouse of the Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland was splashed in blood-red paint, an immaculate green spray-painted with the words: "GAZA IS NOT 4 SALE."

Rachel Maddow ripped into Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s defense on Friday of Social Security cuts in remarks the MSNBC host flagged as “a political disaster” – which she played for viewers more than once.

“I feel like in any other moment this would have been wallpaper all over the American media,” Maddow said during her primetime show on Friday. “I feel like I almost have to close my eyes because I can't bear to watch it.”

President Donald Trump is "taunting" Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts — and he "better be careful," warned the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, because it could "backfire."

The board wrote Friday evening about Trump's downplay of Roberts' stern rebuke earlier in the week.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow took to her show’s opening monologue on Friday to vent her frustrations with President Donald Trump’s claimed ignorance over reports that tech billionaire Elon Musk was to receive a Pentagon briefing on top-secret U.S.-China war plans.

The scuttled briefing was revealed by The New York Times Thursday night, which the primetime host pointed out was explained “in even more simple terms than you might expect from a regular newspaper on a regular story.”

Even though he has Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress and Democrats are in the midst of an apparent leadership crisis, President Donald Trump's second term has so far been a massive failure, according to one columnist.

In a Friday op-ed for the Daily Beast, columnist David Rothkopf argued that the second Trump administration is already letting down both the MAGA faithful and America at large in five different ways. Rothkopf pointed out that Trump has so far failed to curb inflation, address the federal deficit, root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in federal agencies, end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours or "make America healthy again."

President Donald Trump is once again raising eyebrows with his claim on Friday that he didn’t sign a proclamation invoking the arcane wartime law, which his administration leaned on to carry out last weekend’s deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members, CNN reported.

The stunning denial came as Trump took questions from reporters before boarding Marine One, including one surrounding the fury U.S. District Judge James Boasberg unleashed on DOJ attorneys at a hearing Friday as he pressed them on why the proclamtion invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was "signed in the dark.”

President Donald Trump's administration has lately been ramping up scrutiny of all foreign nationals in the United States, rather than just focusing on undocumented immigrants. This has prompted concern among experts, including some former top officials in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The New York Times reported Friday on the aggressive approach the Trump administration has taken against noncitizens in recent weeks. A 35-year-old Canadian woman said she was placed "in chains" and detained for 12 days at the San Ysidro border crossing (one of the nation's busiest). Two German tourists at that same border crossing were also detained and eventually deported after being kept in custody for multiple weeks.

Comedian Bill Maher on Friday made public his plans to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House – a visit arranged by none other than Kid Rock.

But, as Maher expected, the move has set off a wave of fury among his liberal critics, who called the late-night host out for agreeing to meet with the subject of his years-long ridicule.

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the United States are set to have their legal statuses revoked by the Trump administration, according to a report.

A total of 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process will see their immigration statuses revoked, CBS News reported Friday afternoon. The administration urged them to self-deport — or face arrest and deportation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role as the country’s top diplomat isn’t shaping out as he expected as he has found himself taking a back seat to President Donald Trump’s close friend, billionaire real estate developer Steve Witkoff, according to a CNN report.

Witkoff, Trump’s top Middle East negotiator and golf buddy, has played a key role in a number of high profile foreign policy wins the Trump administration has racked up in the last two months, including the release of hostages in Israel, the return of American Marc Fogel from Russian custody and a ceasefire in Gaza, which has since been broken.

Columbia University on Friday gave into demands from the Trump administration when it agreed to a sweeping set of changes in order to restore $400 million in federal funding suspended earlier this month, according to media reports.

The university’s changes include new powers for police to arrest students, partially banning face masks, and appointment of a university official to oversee changes across university departments, the Independent reported Friday.
