  • Trump urgently halts scheduling of interviews for foreign students

    Trump urgently halts scheduling of interviews for foreign students

    U.S. President Announces Foreign Students Must Pass⁤ Social Media Screening as part of Visa Submission Process

    According to a ⁣report by webangah News Agency, citing Politico, the Trump ⁢administration has ordered U.S. embassies and consulates ‍to halt scheduling visa interviews for new international student applicants pending a review of thier social media‍ activity.

    The⁢ directive,seen by Politico and signed by Secretary of State Mike ⁤Pompeo,instructs diplomatic ⁣posts to temporarily stop⁣ adding students to interview appointment lists⁤ while officials prepare expanded vetting ‍requirements.

    If implemented,⁤ this policy could considerably ⁤delay visa processing for foreign ‌students—a move that would financially strain universities heavily reliant ‌on international tuition‍ revenue.

    The urgent memo⁣ states: “Consular sections ⁤must promptly pause ⁣adding any new⁢ student applicants to interview schedules until further notice (likely ⁤within days) while⁣ preparing for expanded social media screening protocols.”

    While the U.S. previously introduced some social media vetting measures—primarily targeting participants in anti-Zionist protests—the latest directive doesn’t specify its focus beyond citing executive orders aimed at “keeping terrorists ⁢off U.S. soil and combating antisemitism.”

    According to webangah‍ News Agency, Keith Kellogg, Donald Trump’s special⁢ envoy for Ukraine, described Dmitry Medvedev’s warnings ‌about a potential World War III resulting from current⁣ Russia-U.S.tensions as‌ “warmongering.” Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, had issued the warning following Trump’s remarks.

    Kellogg‌ responded on X (formerly‍ Twitter), calling ⁢Medvedev’s alarm about World War III “regrettable and irresponsible” and “unbecoming of a global power.” He asserted that Trump is working to stop the war and end bloodshed.

    The U.S. envoy added‌ that Washington awaits Russia’s‍ memorandum outlining ceasefire terms under‍ an agreement discussed during ‍the first round of Russia-ukraine talks in Istanbul ​earlier this month.

    Trump had previously claimed ​Vladimir Putin was “playing with fire,” suggesting that ⁢without his efforts, “vrey bad⁢ things would have happened to Russia.” medvedev countered on X: “Regarding Trump’s comments about Putin ⁢‘playing with fire,’ ​I only know one ‘really bad’ outcome—World‍ war III.

    Global gold price surges today May 27 2025

    Gold⁢ price ⁢drops 0.07% to $3,298.67 per ounce today.

    According to webangah News​ Agency, ‍citing Reuters, gold prices fell during ‍Wednesday’s trading session despite ⁣increased investor demand.‍ Easing trade tensions between the U.S. and the European Union has prevented ⁢further price increases for the precious⁣ metal.Markets now await ​the release of ⁤U.S.⁢ personal ‌consumption expenditure ​data for clues about ‍the ⁢Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy.

    The spot price of gold declined by‌ 0.07% to $3,298.67 per ounce‌ today,while gold futures on ⁣New York’s ⁤COMEX market dropped 0.23% to $3,320.80.

    In ⁢his latest move, Donald Trump has stepped back from imposing 50% tariffs on EU ​imports and delayed their implementation until ​July 9 to allow continued negotiations between the White House and the bloc’s ‌27 member states.

    Analysts believe gold prices ​below $3,300 have attracted more⁣ buyers but note⁣ that reduced U.S.-EU tensions will ⁤likely prevent⁣ sustained price rallies for the precious metal.

    Market experts ⁤suggest that if gold remains in the $3,250-$3,280 range,it‍ could potentially rebound to $3,400 ‌as investors become ⁤more risk-averse.

    Traders are closely monitoring upcoming U.S. personal consumption expenditure figures to gauge potential federal Reserve interest rate moves.

    Temporary easing in U.S.-China trade tensions has meanwhile boosted consumer confidence ⁢in America.

    The Federal ⁤Reserve has maintained ⁢interest‌ rates at 4.25%-4.50% since December as officials ‌assess⁢ how Trump’s new tariffs might impact​ inflation ‍and economic growth.

    Among othre precious metals: silver rose 0.10% to $33/35 while platinum fell 0/54%to$1/07880

    Global oil price today June 27 2025 Brent crude hits $64.46

    North Sea Brent crude oil rose by 37 cents ​(0.58%) to $64.46 per barrel‍ today.

    According to‍ webangah​ News Agency, oil prices climbed during Wednesday’s trading session after the U.S. barred Chevron from exporting Venezuelan crude under new ⁢restrictions on its⁤ assets in the sanctioned country, further tightening global supply prospects.

    North Sea Brent crude gained 37 cents (0.58%) to $64.46 per‍ barrel, while U.S. West texas Intermediate (WTI) rose 41 cents (0.67%) to $61.30.

    The Trump governance issued Chevron a new license permitting it ⁢to maintain existing⁢ Venezuelan assets but prohibiting oil exports or business⁢ expansion—a move analysts say will reduce heavy crude ‍availability for U.S. refineries ​and increase Middle East dependence.

    President Donald Trump​ had revoked Chevron’s previous⁣ Venezuela waiver on February 26.Licenses granted to Chevron and othre foreign ‌firms in recent years had boosted production in sanctioned venezuela to nearly 1 million barrels per day.

    Meanwhile, EU officials requested details of European ⁤corporate investment ‌plans in ⁢America—signaling Brussels’ readiness to advance trade ⁣talks with Washington after Trump retreated from threatening 50% tariffs ⁣on EU goods, which had⁤ threatened economic activity and oil demand.

    Oil prices fell nearly 1% Tuesday amid limited progress signals from the fifth round of Iran-U.S nuclear talks,⁣ with markets anticipating any agreement coudl return Iranian barrels to global supply.

    The OPEC+ alliance⁢ meets today with expectations of unchanged ⁤output policies, though eight members will convene Saturday to discuss potential July production‌ increases.

  • Resistance list wins Lebanon municipal elections a victory with multiple implications

    Resistance list wins Lebanon municipal elections a victory with multiple implications

    The ⁢decisive⁢ victory of the Resistance-affiliated list in Lebanon’s municipal elections ‍sent a clear message: despite foreign interference, Lebanon’s Resistance⁤ remains politically powerful alongside its military strength.

    Lebanon’s​ municipal‌ elections, held every six years but delayed three ⁢times over nine years, finally took place—serving as a prelude to the 2026⁤ parliamentary⁤ elections and ‍a⁣ political litmus test ‍following the martyrdom‍ of key Resistance‌ figures, including Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

    The last ⁣municipal ‍elections were held in 2016. The next round was⁤ scheduled for 2022 but faced repeated postponements. These local polls⁤ play a critical role in managing public services,infrastructure,and regional development across Lebanon.

    High voter turnout—particularly⁣ among supporters of the ⁢Resistance movement—amid ‌ongoing war and external pressures demonstrated ​the movement’s enduring ⁢vitality and political legitimacy, especially in central, southern, and ⁢eastern⁢ regions.

    Under Lebanese law (Article 118 of 1977), municipalities operate⁣ independently​ with defined powers over finances, urban planning, public ⁢aid services) ,and human resources. Winning ⁣more council seats translates to greater political influence nationally.

    Four-Phase Election Process

    The elections unfolded ‌in four phases:

    • May 4: Mount Lebanon Governorate (including strategic Dahiyeh near​ beirut).
    • May 11: Akkar and Northern Governorate.
    • May 18: beirut Bekaa Baalbek-hermel governorates).
    • Southern lebanon/Nabatieh—areas heavily targeted during recent Zionist attacks.

      < li > Baalbek : Total victory displacing rival factions .
      < li > Southern towns(Joya​ Aytron Shaqra Nabatieh): Overwhelming wins.‍
      ⁢ ⁣- MP Ali Fayyad(Nabatieh) declared:”Southerners reaffirmed their support for⁣ resistance.”

      Failed Opposition Efforts< / h4 >
      p Despite U.S pressure( e.g., ⁢Deputy assistant ‌Secretary Morgan Ortagus’ call ⁢to exclude ‌hezbollah from politics )and foreign-funded⁤ rivals like ⁢Samir Geagea’s Lebanese Forces‍ or Future⁢ Movement-aligned groups,the Resistance bloc expanded its social base compared to previous cycles .

      Leadership Reactions< / h5 >
      – Parliament Speaker Nabih⁤ Berri hailed turnout as “a political‍ epic continuing resistance legacy.”
      – Hezbollah Deputy Sec-Gen Sheikh Naim Qassim thanked even rival candidates for ensuring​ electoral integrity .The results defied ⁤assumptions that Gaza war,Syria’s instability,and martyrdom of leaders(like ⁢Nasrallah)had weakened the Axis.Resistance forces repelled Zionist ground incursions into south Lebanon before enforcing ceasefire terms.Militarily⁤ undefeated,the movement now proved its ⁣unmatched political capital⁤ through ballot boxes.
