Five things to know about attempt on Trump at one of his golf courses
Former President Donald Trump is safe following what the FBI says "appears to be an attempted assassination while playing golf two months after another attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania. Local authorities said the U.S. Secret Service agents protecting Trump fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with a scope as Trump was playing on one of his Florida golf courses in West Palm Beach. Here are five things to know about what happened Sunday to the Republican presidential nominee. Who is the suspect? Law enforcement officials said the man who pointed the rifle and was arrested is Ryan Wesley Routh. The officials identified the suspect to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. Records show Routh, 58, lived in North Carolina for most of his life before moving in 2018 to Kaaawa, Hawaii, where he and his son operated a company building sheds, according to an archived version of the webpage for t

Money flows on US election bets after judge clears way, but appeal looms
People began betting on which political party would win control of Congress in the November elections within minutes of a judge's ruling Thursday allowing the bets the only ones to be legally approved by a US jurisdiction. New York startup company Kalshi began taking what amounts to bets on the outcome of the November congressional elections after a judge refused to block them from doing so. The ruling enabled the company, at least temporarily, to offer prediction contracts essentially yes-or-no bets on which party will win control of the Senate and the House in November. The company and its lawyer did not respond to messages seeking comment, and it was not clear whether they intend to offer bets beyond the ones posted Thursday for congressional races, including potentially taking bets on the presidential race. It also was not immediately clear whether sports books or online casinos would seek to offer similar political bets in light of the ruling. Prices on Kalshi's so-called

North Korea's Kim vows to keep his nuclear force ready for combat with US
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to redouble efforts to make his nuclear force fully ready for combat with the United States and its allies, state media reported Tuesday, after the country disclosed a new platform likely designed to fire more powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles targeting the mainland U.S. Kim has repeatedly made similar pledges, but his latest threat comes as outside experts believe Kim will perform provocative weapons tests ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November. In recent days, North Korea has also resumed launches of trash-carrying balloons toward South Korea. In a speech marking the 76th founding anniversary for his government on Monday, Kim said North Korea faces a grave threat because of what he called the reckless expansion of a U.S.-led regional military bloc that is now developing into a nuclear-based one. Kim said such a development is pushing North Korea to boost its military capability, according to the official Korean Central .

Hindu group endorses Donald Trump over Harris in US presidential elections
Hindus for America First, a newly created grassroots organisation, has announced it will endorse Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and launch a campaign against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina. Announcing the decision on Thursday, Hindus for America First chairman and founder Utsav Sanduja claimed that Harris would be "very destabilising for Indo-US relations". "The concern is that if Kamala becomes the president of the United States, then she might put in some liberal wolves on the bench who may actually reverse the Supreme Court on this (and) that impacting the Asian-American voters," he said. The Biden-Harris administration has not kept the border secure. Harris is the second in command after President Joe Biden and did nothing to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the US, he said. "As a consequence of all these illegal immigrants, we've seen record crime, record drug ..

There will be no impact on India-US ties post election: Think tank expert
The relations between India and the US over the last three decades have become strong and well entrenched irrespective of whether a Democrat or a Republican is elected as a president, a top American think-tank expert has said, exuding confidence that bilateral ties would remain unchanged in the next administration. These remarks were made by Aparna Pande, the research fellow at the prestigious Hudson Institute think-tank. There will be no impact on the India-US relationship because India-US relations over the last three decades have become strong and well entrenched. Irrespective of whether a Democrat or a Republican is elected president, the relationship will remain just as strong, whether it's economic, whether it's commercial, defence or strategic, Pande told PTI. Every American president since President Clinton has visited India and every Indian Prime Minister over the last three and a half decades has visited the United States multiple times. India matters to the US national ..
Russian propaganda: New Kremlin tactic reveals efforts to sway US vote
Russia has long sought to inject disinformation into U.S. political discourse. Now, it's got a new angle: paying Americans to do the work. This week's indictment of two Russian state media employees on charges that they paid a Tennessee company to create pro-Russian content has renewed concerns about foreign meddling in the November election while revealing the Kremlin's latest tactic in a growing information war. If the allegations prove correct, they represent a significant escalation, analysts say, and likely capture only a small piece of a larger Russian effort to sway the election. We have seen the smoke for years. Now, here's the fire, said Jim Ludes, a former national defense analyst who now leads the Pell Center for International Relations at Salve Regina University. I don't wonder if they're doing more of this. I have no doubt." According to prosecutors, the two employees of RT, a Russian outlet formerly known as Russia Today, funneled $10 million to the U.S. media company
India-US partnership to grow regardless of who wins elections: USISPF CEOi
The India-US relationship would continue its upward trajectory regardless of who wins the presidential elections, USISPF president and CEO Mukesh Aghi said, underlining that the contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump was "too close to call". The geopolitical alignment between the two countries is very strong, Aghi said in an interview with PTI on Thursday. "What are the implications, regardless of who comes in? I think India stays critical to US geopolitical ambitions. That is trying to contain the rise of aggressive China. It also serves India's interest. That it has a partner to deal with a neighbour who will never accept India as an equal partner. "The alignment geopolitically is very, very strong between the two countries. So, regardless of who comes in, either Trump or Kamala Harris, the partnership will continue to go in that direction," he said. The US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF) chief said the elections are "very, v

Ending Biden tax incentives would be 'historic mistake for states: Yellen
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is warning voters in the battleground state of North Carolina that they could lose jobs if Republicans weaken a signature Biden administration law that encourages investments in manufacturing and clean energy. Yellen says that Republican-dominated states like North Carolina are greatly benefiting from tax incentives under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and that eliminating them would be a historic mistake, according to a draft of a speech she will give Thursday at a community college in Raleigh. The Treasury Department released the remarks ahead of the address. North Carolina has emerged as a key battleground this election cycle between Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, where Trump ultimately won North Carolina in the 2020 presidential election. Yellen says Treasury data shows that 90,000 North Carolina households claimed more than $100 million in residential clean energy credits and $60 million in
