Beef prices in the United States have reached historic highs, creating a political and economic storm that even Donald Trump cannot ignore. Once confident that inflation was “dead,” Trump now faces mounting criticism as rising beef costs threaten his pledge to make groceries more affordable. This week, he called on ranchers via social media to cut cattle prices. His remarks — and new policy ideas from his administration — have sparked anger among ranchers who fear his plans will shrink their profits while doing little to help consumers. America’s shrinking herds For more than four decades, the number of US…

US President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on 30 October. The White House confirmed the meeting, which will take place on the sidelines of a major Asian summit. The two sides have been preparing for the meeting for several weeks, though rising friction between Washington and Beijing nearly derailed the plan. It will be the first in-person meeting between Trump and Xi since Trump’s return to the presidency. Trump recently warned he would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting in November if Beijing does not ease restrictions on its rare earth exports.…
Tesla posted its highest quarterly revenue ever, yet profits dropped steeply. Rising tariffs, growing research costs, and stiff competition weighed on earnings despite strong sales. Record revenue masks profit decline For the quarter ending September, Tesla reported $28 billion (£21 billion) in revenue, a 12% increase from last year. Profits, however, fell 37%, affected by higher tariffs and increased spending on research and development. Investors reacted cautiously. Tesla shares fell 3.8% in after-hours trading after the results. Still, the company’s market value remains around $1.4 trillion, fueled by confidence in Elon Musk’s long-term plans for AI and robotics. Tax credit…
Donald Trump said he did not want a “wasted meeting” after plans for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine were suspended. Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, the US president said Moscow’s refusal to stop fighting along the current front line remained the biggest obstacle to peace. White House shelves Budapest summit plan A White House official confirmed there were “no plans” for a Trump-Putin meeting “in the immediate future.” The comment came only days after Trump had announced both leaders would meet in Budapest within two weeks. Differences between Washington and Moscow…
Amazon Web Services (AWS) said late Monday that it had repaired a large-scale outage that disrupted access to thousands of websites and apps for much of the day. More than 1,000 platforms — including Snapchat and major banks such as Lloyds and Halifax — went offline after technical problems hit Amazon’s core cloud network in the United States. Downdetector, a global outage tracker, registered over 11 million user complaints during the disruption. Technology analysts said the incident underscored how dependent the modern internet and global economy have become on a few powerful companies. Millions cut off as online services collapse…
It took 11 months and 35 games for this moment to arrive. Rúben Amorim once described his Manchester United side as “maybe” the worst in the club’s history. He questioned his future, endured intense criticism, and only survived after minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly backed him. Then came Anfield — the perfect setting for redemption. Against their fiercest rivals, United finally looked like a team reborn. A victory forged in character and control This was not another lucky escape, like last December’s win at Manchester City. From the start, United played with structure, hunger, and discipline. Bryan Mbeumo’s early…
When Kerry Dunstan and his partner went looking for a new car this summer, they focused on one question: “How’s the battery?” They found a 2021 Nissan Leaf with 29,000 miles, and the dealer told them the battery’s state of health (SOH) was still 93%. That sealed the deal. For £12,500, they bought a spacious, practical electric vehicle with plenty of room. Dunstan, a cabinetmaker who also owns a sleek electric Volvo SUV, admits the Leaf doesn’t thrill him. “I like cars with flair – this one’s a bit plain,” he says. Still, he’s satisfied. “It’s done exactly what I…
Lamborghini’s chief executive says the brand’s loyal customers still demand the sound, emotion, and thrill of petrol engines. The Italian supercar maker plans to keep them at the core of its lineup for at least another decade. Turning from full electric to hybrid innovation At Lamborghini’s London showroom, CEO Stephan Winkelmann said enthusiasm for electric cars is fading. He believes this shift gives the brand space to strengthen its focus on hybrid technology instead of fully electric models. Within the next few weeks, Lamborghini will decide whether the long-anticipated Lanzador will launch as a full-electric car or as a plug-in…
A sudden phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday has thrown Kyiv’s plans into disarray. The two leaders agreed to meet soon to discuss the war in Ukraine, catching Ukrainian officials completely by surprise. The timing was brutal. In just 24 hours, Russia unleashed dozens of missiles and more than 300 drones across Ukraine. The attacks once again targeted civilian infrastructure, damaging gas supplies as temperatures begin to fall. Power cuts now stretch across the country as energy facilities struggle to recover. Moscow’s power play hides its weakness For Ukraine’s leadership, these renewed…
President Donald Trump announced that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to wind down India’s purchases of Russian oil. The declaration came as Washington increased pressure on Moscow’s energy revenues and sought to isolate the Kremlin over the war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters that Modi assured him India would stop buying Russian oil “within a short period of time.” He described the decision as “a big stop.” Washington’s growing pressure on New Delhi The US president has used India’s dependence on Russian oil as leverage in wider trade negotiations. So far, New Delhi has resisted, saying its energy…
