What did President Trump discuss with the UK Prime Minister during his state visit?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is due back at the White House this evening after receiving the royal treatment during his state visit to the U.K. He's flying back aboard Air Force One after meeting today with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two appear to have a good relationship, but MPR's Franco Ordonias reports they disagreed on recognizing a Palestinian state.
Kir Starmer during a joint press conference said he and President Trump agreed on the need to end the conflict in Gaza and secure the release of the hostages. Trump said he wants the immediate release of hostages and said that it's important to remember the Hamas led attacks against Israel on october seventh, twenty twenty three. He acknowledged though that he had a different opinion regarding recognizing the Palestinian state.
I have a disagreement with the prime minister on that score. One of our few disagreements actually.
France, Canada, and Australia have also said they would recognize a Palestinian state.
Why do the U.S. and Britain disagree on recognizing a Palestinian state?
Trump has said doing so would only reward Hamas. Franco, Ordonnez,
NPR News. The U.S. today blocked a UN Security Council resolution on Gaza for a sixth time. The resolution demanded a ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages. Following the killing of conservative active activist Charlie Kirk, President Trump has said that he will be designated Antifa major terrorist organization. And Pierre So that Youssef reports so there are questions about how this might be done.
In the US, there is a provision that allows the government to designate certain groups as foreign terrorist organizations, but the domestic context is different. Jason Blazekis is the former director of the State Department's Counter Terrorism Finance and Designations Office. The US government has a a definition of domestic terrorism, but does not have the legal authorities to designate entire organizations as domestic terrorist groups.
How is the U.S. handling UN Security Council resolutions and the Antifa terrorist‑organization proposal?
Trump has tried this before. In twenty twenty he tweeted that he would be designating Antifa a terrorist organization. It failed then because of the lack of legal authority and because Antifa is not a centralized, cohesive national organization. Odette Yusuf NPR News.
Democrats and many Hollywood stars accusing the Trump administration of censorship when it comes to Jimmy Kimmel's dismiss suspension in Pierre's racial treason reports.
ABC took Kimmel's show off the air on Wednesday night. Earlier in the day, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had threatened regulatory action against the stations that carry it. Лабор унижкозing what they say is an attack on free speech. House democratic leadership is calling on carr to resign. And the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Representative Robert Garcia, says he will launch an investigation into what he calls, quote, efforts to censor opposition to the President of the United States.
What are the allegations of censorship surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s show and the FCC?
Rachel Treesman, NPR News.
This is NPR. Authorities in Pennsylvania have named the man who fatally shot three police officers yesterday. York County's district attorney says the officers were ambushed by twenty four year old Matthew James Ruth as they attempted to serve a warrant for him at the home of a former girlfriend. a fourth police officer remains hospitalized. Much of France is paralyzed by strikes and protests against President Emmanuel Macron and what people call his policies for the rich, many high school students among the protesters, as MPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
These students are blocking their Paris High School and calling for solidarity with workers. Twelfth grader Mila Schink says they're against Macron's budget of austerity.
That wants to cut the social security system, that wants to cut in health and in education, which would only weigh heavy on the people that are already vulnerable.
She says Macron is also denying democracy because he keeps naming prime ministers from his camp when he doesn't have the support.
Why are French students protesting Macron’s budget and what impact does it have on the country?
He went against people's opinion and is governing with a minority and is trying to pass budgets while having a minority.
