President Donald Trump's hands-off approach to artificial intelligence (AI) and the tech billionaires behind it are running into unexpected resistance from one of his own staunch allies in the Senate, according to Politico.

Sen. Josh Hawley's (R-MO) "populist push" against AI is exposing a schism in the GOP as lawmakers try to balance backing Trump's preference for voluntary industry standards against mounting voter anxiety over the technology's risks. Hawley's "call for AI safety legislation this week" — including imposing corporate liability when AI causes harm — stands in direct contrast to Trump's approach of letting the industry police itself.

The Trump administration has “quietly” set the stage in recent weeks to potentially “resume major combat operations against Iran,” Axios’ Barak Ravid reported on Thursday night, citing multiple U.S. officials.

On Sunday, the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier and an accompanying strike group "quietly" left California toward the Middle East region, one U.S. official told Ravid. And, within the past few weeks, the Trump administration sent Patriot missile batteries to U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which Ravid noted carried major implications.

The Montana set of a film championing immigration agents, tied to Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro, was flooded with hours of chanted insults against him after locals obtained the script.

Residents of Livingston obtained the 86-page script for the production, known by the working title "Pawn Shop," and began protesting soon after filming started Sept. 22, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported this week.

A $50 billion investment deal touted by President Donald Trump during a Wednesday Oval Office event is running into pushback from the ally he says agreed to it.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told reporters South Korea would invest more than $50 billion in the long-stalled Alaska LNG pipeline project, plus another $120 billion in U.S. nuclear power plants, as part of a "broader trade package."

President Donald Trump on Wednesday recounted what he repeatedly called an “amazing” story about an Israeli plumber who supposedly helped save a plunging passenger plane — while acknowledging he didn’t know whether the extraordinary account was true.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relayed the story to him after a FlyDubai Flight plunged thousands of feet amid a violent cockpit incident.

At the same time Donald Trump's approval numbers are hitting lows never seen before, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is enjoying a burst of popularity that's letting him push his agenda through with little resistance.

The reason? His refusal to be bullied by the American president has Canadians and political rivals lining up behind him as his party adds new members.

U.S. allies Israel and Saudi Arabia scrambled jets early Wednesday morning in response to an incident aboard a FlyDubai flight that Israeli journalist Amit Segal reported was being treated as a “full-fledged terrorist attack.”

“It appears that the co-pilot repeatedly stabbed the captain. Once the attack began, several crew members and passengers managed to break through the cockpit door and subdue the attacker,” Segal wrote in a statement published on social media.

A startling claim from President Donald Trump's ambassador to China reveals "something profoundly amiss" in how the administration handles one of America's most consequential rivalries, according to a new analysis by MS NOW's Zeeshan Aleem.

Ambassador David Perdue told Fox News on Sunday that Trump, while discussing U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit last week, told Xi, "Hey, we sell arms to other people around the world," and then "actually asked President Xi, would he like to buy some at one point?"

The White House boasted about 1,750 jobs that would be created from a new $15 billion steel plant announced by President Donald Trump, but several right-wing figures expressed outrage Tuesday as details about the project began to emerge.

The steel mill will be constructed by Mesabi Metallics, a Minnesota-based company that carries years of baggage, including project delays, bankruptcy, unpaid contractors and disputes with Minnesota state officials.
