A world leader who is revered by MAGA fans doesn't quite fit in with Donald Trump's political perspective, a new report suggests.

Trump has consistently embraced Javier Milei, who has been the president of Argentina since December of 2023. Some have even said Trump and his allies see the libertarian Milei as a "role model."

Donald Trump is pledging to impose hefty taxes on everything entering the U.S. from Mexico, Canada, and China — but a report Wednesday suggested it might not be so straightforward.

In 2018, Donald Trump unilaterally ushered in taxes on all steel and aluminum imports by signing an executive order claiming that the charge was required for American national security and, in 2019, Trump threatened Mexico with a 5% tax if they didn't stop illegal immigration.

Although President-elect Donald Trump tried to market himself as a "peace candidate" during the 2024 campaign, it seems that he and his foreign policy advisers are dead set on sending at least some members of the American military into Mexico.

Rolling Stone reports that Trump and his team are considering a "soft invasion" of Mexico that would use special forces to target drug labs and cartels in Mexico.

Ruby slippers worn by actress Judy Garland in classic film "The Wizard of Oz" will be sold at auction next month, nearly 20 years after they were stolen.

Heritage Auctions showed off the magical footwear in London before they go under the hammer in Dallas on December 7, with predictions they could sell for up to $3 million.

President Joe Biden's administration has been quietly working with Chinese officials to help stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Now, Donald Trump is putting it at risk over his promise of tariffs on China, according to some.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that counternarcotics officials from the U.S. and Mexico flew to China weeks ago to exchange intelligence over the drug flowing into North America. It comes after years of China refusing to "crack down on Chinese chemical producers" making the drug.

The White House is reporting that three Americans who were being held in China are coming home after a deal with President Joe Biden's administration.

Both MSNBC and the Washington Post said that there are unconfirmed reports that the release is part of a prisoner swap.

Donald Trump's threatened tariff plan will result in higher shoe prices, according to a retail industry trade group CEO.

Matt Priest, CEO of Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America, appeared on CNN on Wednesday to discuss Trump's plan to install high tariffs on foreign goods. Priest's group represents dozens of companies, including Nike, DSW, Crocs, Under Armor, and more.

President-elect Donald Trump recently claimed that he had a private phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in which he asked Putin to not further escalate his war in Ukraine.

However, the Kremlin denied that such a call had ever taken place, which led to confusion about what had actually transpired.

Fresh anti-government protests erupted in Mozambique Wednesday after a police vehicle mowed down a woman at a demonstration in the capital in support of the opposition leader disputing October elections.

Venancio Mondlane has rejected the results of the October 9 vote and led a weeks-long standoff that has been brutally suppressed by the police.

President-elect Donald Trump's latest round of tariff threats against Mexico has exposed what the New Republic's Greg Sargent calls an "ugly MAGA scam" in his latest article.

In promoting the article on his BlueSky account, Sargent writes that "This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie."

President-elect Donald Trump is once again threatening the Mexican government with tariffs in a seeming bid to get the country to do more to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States.

However, the Wall Street Journal reports that things could quickly go south for Trump if he goes further and authorizes unilateral military action against drug cartels in Mexico.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday sharply criticized U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on all imported goods from Canada and Mexico, calling the proposal a potentially disastrous distraction from meaningful solutions to drug trafficking and mass migration.

"Migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs," Sheinbaum, a member of Mexico's leftist Morena party, wrote in a letter to Trump. "What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges."
