In a move that has sent shockwaves through global political and activist circles, the United States has reportedly barred Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg from entering the country, allegedly telling her to “stay in the UK” following her recent string of controversial protests and arrests abroad. According to unnamed sources “close to the situation,” U.S. officials quietly placed Thunberg on a restricted entry list late Sunday night, citing “national interest concerns,” “repeated involvement in disruptive demonstrations,” and what one anonymous official described as “a growing pattern of ideological activism crossing into security issues.” The decision, while unconfirmed by the White...

He said the funds would come from what he described as trillions of dollars generated through tariffs, alongside efforts to reduce national debt. More than two months later, however, no such payment has been distributed, leading to growing frustration and confusion among the public. Trump has repeatedly referenced...
