New York (AFP) - Donald Trump will have dinner with Polish President Andrzej Duda in New York Wednesday, the former US president's reelection campaign told AFP. Real estate magnate Trump, on a one-day break from court appearances in his hush money criminal trial, will host Duda at his Trump Tower property in Manhattan. When not tied up in legal proceedings, the Republican White House candidate has been conducting a kind of shadow diplomacy. He has been taking meetings with global leaders and lashing out against the foreign policy of his November opponent, President Joe Biden. Trump discuss...

Phoenix (AFP) - When two volunteers from the Biden-Harris presidential campaign knocked on Davine Cortez's door in Arizona, the businesswoman -- who is not usually interested in politics -- was hesitant to talk to them. But when she realized they were collecting signatures to protect the right to abortion in the southwestern US state, Cortez opened the front door wide. "I'll sign, of course!" she said. The 50-year-old from Phoenix even grabbed a handful of pens to give to the volunteers: "Take these, take these, so that more people can sign," she said. The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday r...

New York (AFP) - Faith Ringgold, a pioneering multimedia artist who explored race relations in the United States and advocated for Black people and women to be better represented in the arts, died on Saturday at the age of 93, US media reported. Renowned for her pictorial quilts combining textiles and painting, Ringgold won international fame, with her art exhibited at the White House and in museums around the world. Born in New York in 1930, Ringgold's childhood was shaped by the Harlem Renaissance movement, which saw a blossoming of African American art and literature. In the 1960s, inspired...

New York (AFP) - New York's prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art wants to offer its millions of visitors a less Western-centered view of the world, a shift that will highlight works from Africa and the continent's 3,000 years of cultural history. That shift in perspective will also help the world's fourth most-visited museum -- behind the Louvre, the British Museum and the museums of the Vatican -- attract more African American and diaspora visitors, Met CEO and executive director Max Hollein told AFP in an interview. The iconic museum, situated on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park since...

Washington (AFP) - Adult film star Stormy Daniels, whose alleged tryst with Donald Trump is at the heart of his first criminal trial, has faced off for years against the former president in courtrooms -- and the court of public opinion. After years of making pornographic films, Daniels became a household name in 2018 when she went public with allegations that she had slept with Trump over a decade earlier. Since then she has faced an onslaught of name-calling, including from Trump himself, which she has made a point of returning blow-for-blow, with a smile on her face. A recent documentary has...

Schnecksville (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump's mounting legal woes are just more reason to stick behind the former president, his ardent supporters told AFP on Saturday, just days before the Republican leader's historic criminal trial gets underway in New York. Gathered in the small Pennsylvania town of Schnecksville, his impassioned backers said Saturday they believe Trump will come out of the proceedings stronger than ever. The crowd, braving a chilly wind and some light rain, started gathering Saturday morning to hear the former president speak at night as he campaign once again for t...

Niamey (Niger) (AFP) - Thousands of people in Niger's capital on Saturday protested for the immediate departure of US soldiers from the north, after the military junta in Niamey said it was withdrawing from a military agreement with Washington. Following a July coup, the West African country said in mid-March that the 2012 cooperation agreement had been "unilaterally imposed" by the United States. Students and several prominent figures from the military regime were amongst the crowd in front of the National Assembly Headquarters in Niamey. The crowd was heard chanting "Down with American im...

Washington (AFP) - Extremely discreet in the White House and even more reserved since leaving Washington, Melania Trump is keeping observers guessing whether she will appear, however warily, on the campaign trail alongside her husband. Aloof and enigmatic, the Slovenian-born former model has been noticeably absent as husband Donald Trump makes his third bid for the White House. Nor has she attended any court hearings with her husband as he navigates a myriad of cases. His first criminal trial begins on Monday, and her plans remain unclear. Her absences are unusual in the United States, where t...

Miami (AFP) - Donald Trump on Friday threw a lifeline to embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying the Republican congressional leader is doing "a very good job." Trump defended Johnson against a move by firebrand Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Trump labeled as a friend, to call a vote for his ouster. "It's not an easy situation for any speaker," Trump said, with Johnson standing near him at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate. Johnson traveled to Florida on Friday to huddle with Trump in the latest sign of the hard-right presidential candidate's informal, yet u...

Washington (AFP) - The US House of Representatives voted Friday to reauthorize an electronic urveillance program targeting foreigners, a practice officials say is critical to national security but criticized by opponents over concerns for American citizens' privacy. The Republican-controlled House voted to reauthorize a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, widely known as FISA, by a bipartisan vote of 273-147. A part of the program known as Section 702 allows US intelligence agencies to conduct warrantless electronic surveillance of foreigners outside the United States. While...
