The phase one deal means his government has agreed to cancel planned tariff hikes on…

The Democratic-led House of Representatives voted to send two formal charges against President Donald Trump to the Senate, clearing the way for only the third impeachment trial of a U.S. president to begin in earnest next week. Lawmakers voted 228 to 193 to give the Senate, controlled by Trump’s fellow Republicans, the task of putting him on trial on charges of abuse of power for asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and of obstruction of Congress for blocking testimony and documents sought by Democratic lawmakers. The 100-seat Senate is expected to acquit Trump, keeping him in office, as…

Scientists, such as Omar Baddour, say climate change likely contributed to severe weather in…

Foreign Minister Dominic Raab said that Britain is willing to work with the United States and European partners to build a broader initiative that would address not just Iran’s nuclear ambitions but its destabilising activity in the region.
