US President Donald Trump on Monday seemingly predicated an emerging Iran peace deal on Muslim-majority nations across the Middle East and beyond normalising relations with Israel.

It is worth noting that the nations…

The United States has paused its 72-hour old mission to “guide” ships through the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran reviews a US-proposal under which Iran would accept some limits on uranium enrichment, the US would lift sanctions, and both sides would agree to reopen the waterway.

Donald Trump has spent much of his second term using the U.S. presidency as a giant ATM for himself, his family, and his cronies. Now he’s devised a way for the cryptocurrency and private equity industries to do the same—while further lining his own pockets and putting Americans’ nest eggs at risk.
The Trump administration on Monday announced plans to open 401(k) retirement plans to investments…
To fill the massive energy void from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Delhi has turned once again to an old friend: Moscow.

On Monday, the Trump administration suffered its fifth consecutive courtroom defeat in its war on offshore wind. All of these cases stem from an order in December in which the Interior Department claimed that a classified Defense Department report had deemed offshore wind a “national security threat” and Interior was therefore “pausing” the leases on five already-under-construction offshore wind…
