Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared that the U.S. military can keep its naval blockade on Iranian ports indefinitely, as President Donald Trump signals he’s allowing economic pressure to mount against Tehran.
Trump on Truth Social Thursday celebrated a court win upholding the closure of the “de minimis” import loophole. The exemption allowed foreign goods worth up to $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. The White House says it cost the country billions in foregone tariff revenue.
The man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk is fighting to take the death penalty off the table. Tyler Robinson’s attorneys are now challenging the question of whether anyone else was ever in danger as the case heads toward closing arguments in his preliminary hearing.
