CNN  —  When he steps onto the dais in the House chamber on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump will have another major platform to relay his second-term priorities. For Democrats, the moment will present a fresh test of whether they can effectively counter Trump’s prime-time programming. Democratic leadership chose a first-term senator elected in a battleground state Trump won in November to deliver the party’s official response. A Democratic senator whose name is often talked about for 2028 is among those skipping the address, predicting it will be a “MAGA pep rally.” And a protest movement organizing online has identified…

CNN  —  The 97th Academy Awards delivered an evening of elegant and, at times, dramatic fashion, with many stars saving their best looks for the biggest red carpet of them all. This year’s awards season has witnessed its fair share of restrained styling and dark monochromatic looks, but Hollywood’s A-list brought shimmer, sparkle and metallics to LA’s Dolby Theatre on Sunday. From Halle Berry’s disco-ball Christian Siriano gown to Demi Moore’s Swarovski crystal-embellished Armani Privé dress, the work of embroiderers took center stage. The numbers speak volumes: Selena Gomez’s Ralph Lauren outfit, inspired by Sophia Loren, shone with over 16,000…

Rome CNN  —  When Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign in 600 years it sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church. Now, after spending two weeks in hospital battling pneumonia, the speculation in the Vatican is whether his successor Pope Francis might do the same. “I think the only circumstances under which he (Francis) would consider resignation, as he has said, would be if he had a long-term degenerative or debilitating condition which prevented him from fully carrying out the papal ministry,” Austen Ivereigh, a papal biographer, told CNN. The pope was put on a breathing machine on Friday,…

CNN  —  A contentious law that allows South Africa’s government to expropriate land – without compensation in some cases – has enraged the United States, triggering aid cuts by Washington and outbursts from President Donald Trump. Many fear that the African nation could now potentially lose some of its US trade privileges as relations between the two countries deteriorate. South Africa is the largest beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA), a US trade agreement that provides preferential duty-free access to US markets for eligible Sub-Saharan African nations. Some US lawmakers want those benefits withdrawn when AGOA is…

London CNN  —  A tentative thaw in ice-cold US-Russia relations is paving the way for American companies to do what, until recently, seemed unthinkable — return to the country three years after they left in droves. Following watershed talks with Russian officials last week, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio extolled the “extraordinary opportunities,” economic and geopolitical, that the United States and Russia could both seize once the war in Ukraine was over. And, on Monday, US President Donald Trump said he was “trying to do some economic development deals” with Moscow. But the scale of the corporate exodus from…

CNN  —  Former US Rep. Mia Love, the first Black woman elected to Congress as a Republican, faces an increasingly grave prognosis as her condition has worsened while fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer, according to her daughter. Posting to her mother’s X account Saturday, Love’s daughter, Abigale Love, said that she and her mother’s team have decided to prioritize being with her and keeping her comfortable at this time. “Sadly her cancer is no longer responding to treatment and the cancer is progressing,” Abigale Love said. In May, Love appeared on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” to…

CNN  —  The White House is making clear it views President Donald Trump’s Friday Oval Office showdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as an overwhelming win that underscores Trump’s “America first” leadership, dispatching top officials and allies to amplify Trump’s handling of the situation even as European leaders are expressing unified support for Ukraine and its leader. Trump often took aim at US aid for Ukraine on the campaign trail, reflecting waning support among Americans for Ukraine and Zelensky over the past three years of the war. Trump views the conflict through an economic lens, seeking to rebuild a partnership…

New York CNN  —  Tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports are looming again. And that could quickly send car prices soaring, even for those assembled in the United States. That’s because the auto industry has spent decades operating as if all of North America is a single market, moving cars parts and vehicles freely across borders of the three countries. As a result, there isn’t such thing as an all-American car built with parts made solely in the United States. President Donald Trump said this week that tariffs of 25% on the value of all imports from Mexico and imports…
