'Crazy': Trump-Netanyahu relationship under growing strain

They went to war together against Iran, but Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's relationship is under strain after the US president reportedly called the Israeli premier "crazy." Trump unleashed a profane tirade over the phone at Netanyahu over Israel's threats to bomb the Lebanese capital Beirut, fearing it would undermine talks with Tehran, the Axios news outlet and ABC News reported. It underscored the increasingly shaky ties between two right-wing allies with lots to lose politically from

[Anne O. Krueger] Gangster logic of Trump's tariff wars

In his second term, President Donald Trump has turned extortion and coercion into central features of American statecraft, deploying tariffs, sanctions and other forms of economic pressure against adversaries and allies alike. With each passing day, the damage caused by this gangster-like approach — for both the US and global economies — becomes increasingly evident. Shortly after returning to the White House, Trump made clear that he viewed tariffs as weapons rather than instruments of trade po

When the Education Ministry announced in April that it would crack down on unapproved international schools, the schools themselves were not the only concern. Many of these institutions operate like schools while being registered as private academies. Some also hire foreign teachers on E-2 visas, which are issued for foreign language instruction. In practice, however, many such teachers are believed to teach other subjects. When asked what would happen to E-2 visa holders found teaching nonlangu

LONDON (AFP) -- Tottenham secured Premier League survival at the expense of West Ham on Sunday.

America is fast becoming a country with two economies: A stagnant one for men and a growing one for women. So far this year, the US has created more than 165,000 private-sector jobs, and 72 percent of them went to women.

But it is also the result of a series of policy choices that aim to make the economy safer — and have made it less favorable to men. The
