The United Nations and other international organizations are bracing for four more years of Donald Trump, who famously tweeted before becoming president the first time that the 193-member UN was just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. In his first term, Trump suspended funding for the U.N. health and family planning agencies, withdrew from its cultural organisation and top human rights body, and jacked up tariffs on China and even longtime U.S. allies by flaunting the World Trade Organization's rulebook. The United States is the biggest single donor to the United Nations, paying 22% of its regular budget. Trump's take this time on the world body began taking shape this week with his choice of Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York for US ambassador to the UN. Stefanik, the fourth-ranking House member, called last month for a complete reassessment of US funding for the United Nations and urged a halt to support for its agency for Palestinian refugees, o

Amongst the first Indian-American picks by US President-elect Donald Trump is biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been tasked with improving government efficiency along with Tesla owner Elon Musk. Trump Tuesday announced that Musk and Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, aimed at improving governance and curbing wasteful expenditures and gave them a deadline of July 4, 2026, the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. Ramaswamy's journey as a son of immigrants to a self-made entrepreneur to a political newbie climbing ladders to try his luck as a Republican presidential candidate has been no short of remarkable. But after his poor showing in the primaries, Ramaswamy decided in January to end his bid and back Trump. Later, Ramaswamy took to X to declare that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump. I will do everything I can to make sure he is the next US President. I am enormously proud of this team, this movement,

All that's left is for President-elect Donald Trump to put his name on it if he wants. Trump won the White House in large part because of voters' frustration with high prices and a sense that the United States needs major changes. But when he enters office in January, Trump will inherit an economy primed for growth. The unemployment rate is low, inflation is easing and President Joe Biden's administration has teed-up a ready-made list of infrastructure projects that could go from theoretical to reality over the next several years. There's the TSMC computer chip plant in Arizona, the new Hyundai electric vehicle factory in Georgia and a modernized I-375 in Michigan, among thousands of projects under way that will take years to complete. All of that means it could be Trump, rather than Biden, who gets to tell Americans that he built the country back better. If he decides to let the projects proceed, that is. Biden, himself, acknowledged last week that the positive economic impacts
