Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump clinched enough support last week to become the standard-bearers for their parties in November's presidential election. Under the US Constitution, each of the 50 states holds its own vote for the next commander-in-chief and candidates are awarded "electors" from each state according to its size. With candidates needing 270 electors to win the White House, elections tend to be decided in the hotly-contested "swing states" with a history of alternating between Republican and Democratic candidates. In the 2024 cycle, those c...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump faced having assets seized in a humiliating blow to his carefully cultivated image as a self-made tycoon as his lawyers acknowledged Monday he doesn't have the cash to appeal a $464 million fine for fraudulently inflating his wealth. Trump -- the Republican candidate for November's US presidential election -- intends to challenge the judgment imposed by a New York civil court in February, which would force an automatic stay of enforcement. But first he must put the money into an account managed by the appeals court or post a bond in the full amount, and 30 insuran...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden said Monday he had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a team to Washington to discuss how to avoid an all-out assault in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The move is one of the clearest attempts yet by Biden to rein in the key US ally, amid fears that the already huge death toll and humanitarian crisis in Gaza could be drastically worsened by a full attack on Rafah. The White House said separately that Israel had killed one of Hamas's top commanders in a strike in Gaza. "I asked the Prime Minister to send a team to Washington to di...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden will hold the first three-way summit with the leaders of the Philippines and Japan next month, the White House said Monday, as the United States boosts alliances against China.

It also comes against a backdrop of clashes between Philippines and Chinese vessels in the South China Sea, where the countries have contested maritime claims. "The leaders will advance...

Washington (AFP) - Elon Musk suggested his use of drugs benefits Tesla investors in an interview released Monday, saying he takes prescribed ketamine to treat his "negative frame of mind." The 52-year-old tycoon confirmed he takes the anesthetic -- typically used for pain management and to treat depression -- following reports in the US media that his drug use was spooking investors. “Ketamine is helpful for getting one outside out of a negative frame of mind," Musk told former CNN host Don Lemon in an interview published on social media on Monday. Asked if his ketamine use could impact inves...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump said Sunday he favors a national abortion ban after a certain number of weeks, with exceptions -- but did not confirm how many weeks, leaving his stance on a top US election issue murky. The former president said that he would "soon" issue a proposal on the number of weeks at which a ban should be implemented, as he spoke to "MediaBuzz" on Fox News days after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee for November's White House race. Trump was asked about a New York Times article from February that said he had told advisers he liked the idea of a 16-week nation...
