US President Donald Trump has unveiled renovations to the bathroom in the Lincoln Bedroom, as his remodelling of the White House continues. Trump shared photos of the new bathroom on social media, saying it had been “renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era”. He claimed the new black and white marble is “very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!”. It is the latest change Trump has made to the White House this year. In October, its…
A “surge” in air traffic controllers calling out of work caused widespread delays in major US airports, a government aviation agency has said. Half of the 30 major airports in the US were experiencing staff shortages, including in New York, where 80% of air traffic controllers were absent heading into the weekend, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Nearly 13,000 air traffic controllers have been working without pay because of the US government shutdown, which is entering its second month. “After 31 days without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue,” the agency said in a…
Americans are expected to see skyrocketing health care prices as the open enrollment period for insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace begins on Saturday. About 24 million people buy health insurance through the marketplace, the majority of whom used to receive tax credits to lower the monthly price of insurance. Without credits, the monthly cost could rise by 114% on average, according to health research nonprofit KFF. This could mean an extra $1,000 a year, and in some cases much more. Democrats have demanded the healthcare subsidies, which expire at the end of the year, be extended in exchange…
It is a pairing that few could have predicted: a former prime minister of Canada and an American pop star who has toured the world and reached the edge of space. Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry have made it official. The couple was spotted by paparazzi holding hands in Paris last weekend as they left the Crazy Horse cabaret, where they had been celebrating Perry’s 41st birthday. While they may seem an unlikely duo, Trudeau and Perry – who have both been in the spotlight for the better part of the last decade – have more in common than some…
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he has apologised to US President Donald Trump over an anti-tariff advertisement which had used a Ronald Reagan quote. Last week, in response to the advert, Trump suspended trade talks with Canada and said he would impose an additional 10% tariff on Canadian imports. “I did apologise to the president,” Carney told reporters at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in South Korea on Saturday. The commercial used a series of clips from former President Reagan’s 1987 national radio address, in which he argued that tariffs would hurt America’s economy. “Such trade barriers hurt…

The South African government criticised the US’s decision to prioritise refugee applications from white Afrikaners, saying claims of a white genocide have been widely discredited and lack reliable evidence. It highlighted an open letter published by prominent members of the Afrikaner community earlier this week rejecting the narrative, with some signatories calling the relocation scheme racist. The limited number of white South African Afrikaners signing up to relocate to the US was indication that they were not being persecuted, it added. On Thursday, the administration of US President Donald Trump announced its lowest refugee annual cap on record – to…
