President Donald Trump spent his 17th week as commander-in-chief visiting the Middle East, marking his first major overseas trip of his second term. 

The president left Washington, D.C., Monday for Saudi Arabia, followed by a visit in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

The president’s trip comes amid the continuing war between Israel and Hamas, ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, and his plans to broaden his first administration’s Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab League nations such as the United Arab Emirates. 

TRUMP CONDEMNS ‘INTERVENTIONALISTS,’ PITCHES ‘MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE’ IN MIDDLE EAST SPEECH

Trump arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, early Tuesday morning, with the nation sending fighter jet escorts to welcome Air Force One to the ground and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeting Trump on the tarmac, which was adorned with a lavender-colored carpet.

Upon his arrival to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Trump was also met with a mobile and operational McDonald’s truck. 

The president, during a speech in Riyadh shortly after meeting with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, vowed to continue America’s partnership with the Saudi Arabian government, but also called for peace in the Middle East, urging the region to pursue economic development rather than Iran’s «self-destructive» path.

«If the responsible nations of this region seize this moment, put aside your differences and focus on the interests that unite you, then all humanity will soon be amazed at what we will see here in the geographic center of the world, and the spiritual heart of its greatest faiths,» Trump said.

«Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past, and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other,» he added.

Trump’s speech came after he and Salman signed several economic agreements totaling $600 billion in trade deals. The agreements could help create up to two million U.S. jobs, Trump said.

Several of the agreements tracked with previously stated ambitions by both Washington, D.C., and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, particularly when it comes to defensive deals.

But as for Iran, Trump, during his Saudi Arabia speech, also warned the Islamic Republic of a «massive maximum pressure» campaign if it did not come to a nuclear agreement with the U.S.

«As I have shown repeatedly, I am willing to end past conflicts and forge new partnerships for a better and more stable world, even if our differences may be profound,» Trump said. «If Iran’s leadership rejects this olive branch… we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure, drive Iranian oil exports to zero.»

«Iran can have a much brighter future, but we will never allow them to threaten America and our allies with terrorism or a nuclear attack,» Trump said. 

Trump had announced a 60-day time frame to reach an agreement with Iran over its illegal atomic weapons program. The first U.S. negotiating session with Iran commenced April 12.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Iranian officials for a fourth round of nuclear talks over the weekend.

The nuclear talks were «difficult but useful,» Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door negotiations, offered more, describing the talks as being both indirect and direct, The Associated Press reported.

An «agreement was reached to move forward with the talks to continue working through technical elements,» the U.S. official said. «We are encouraged by today’s outcome and look forward to our next meeting, which will happen in the near future.»

The Trump administration has said the flawed 2015 Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, did not prevent Iran from building an atomic bomb. 

Trump, throughout his visit, made stark warnings to Iran — verbally, and through sanctions.

Just shortly after dangling a carrot of a «brighter future» for Iran, the Treasury Department gave a taste of Trump’s «maximum pressure» campaign and sanctioned more than two dozen firms operating in Iran’s illicit international oil trade.

«But more importantly, they know they have to move quickly or something bad — something bad is going to happen,» the president said. 

Next, the president traveled to Qatar, where he signed a series of agreements with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha.

Trump and his motorcade were greeted by dozens of mounted camels after his plane landed in Qatar Wednesday morning as he continues his four-day trip to the Middle East.

The agreements there involved a purchasing agreement by Qatar for Boeing aircraft, as well as letters of intent and «joint cooperation» between Qatar and the U.S. The emir also signed an intent agreement to purchase MQ-9 drone aircraft.

Al Thani said he had a «great» conversation with Trump prior to the signing ceremony Wednesday, adding that the agreements have elevated the U.S.-Qatar relationship to «another level.»

The president then met with U.S. service members at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and cited «substantial pay raises» for U.S. troops in his 2026 budget.

«You are without a doubt the greatest fighting force in the history of the world,» Trump said. «And as your commander-in-chief, I’m here to say that America’s military will soon be bigger, better, stronger and more powerful than ever.» 

Next, the president traveled to the United Arab Emirates for his final stop — a visit that marked the first time a U.S. president has traveled to the nation in nearly 20 years, following President George W. Bush’s trip in 2008.

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world, was illuminated in red, white and blue in honor of President’s historic UAE visit. 

Trump visited the Grand Mosque, a rare visit for a U.S. president, and was gifted the UAE’s highest civilian honor, the Order of Zayed, by UAE’s President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The president wrapped up his visit to the United Arab Emirates with a visit to the Abrahamic Family House, which encompasses a mosque, a church, a synagogue, and a forum, and served as a community for inter-religious dialogue and peaceful co-existence.  

As of this week, Trump has signed 148 executive orders since his inauguration in January, including a whopping 143 within his first 100 days as president, dwarfing the number of executive orders signed by his predecessors stretching back to at least President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Senate Democrats are feverishly recruiting top candidates to win back majority in 2026 midterms

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

As they mount their uphill effort to win back the Senate majority in next year’s midterm elections, Democrats feel that they’re on a roll.

Late last month, they landed their biggest recruit to date, when former two-term Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina declared his candidacy in the 2026 race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Thom Tillis.

Democrats view the open Senate seat in the crucial southeastern battleground state as a top pick-up opportunity next year as they try to win back control of the Senate, which the Republicans currently hold with a 53-47 majority.

«It’s hard to overstate the importance of getting Gov. Cooper to run for the Senate in North Carolina, and already we are seeing a potential for a ripple effect,» longtime Democratic strategist Chris Moyer told Fox News Digital.

Moyer, a veteran campaign communicator, said that Cooper recruitment is «giving more faith to potential candidates who are questioning whether there’s a chance for a Democratic majority in the Senate next year.»

Advertisement

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, after landing Cooper, said he «is a formidable candidate who will flip North Carolina’s Senate seat.»

Top Democrats now have their eyes on former Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who lost last year’s re-election bid in a onetime top swing state that’s become reliably red over the past decade.

Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, trekked to Ohio this summer in hopes of convincing Brown to take on Republican Sen. Jon Husted, Fox News confirmed.

Brown, who served over three decades in the House and later the Senate, is viewed by Democrats as the only candidate who could potentially topple Husted, who was named at the beginning of this year to fill the seat left vacant when then-Sen. JD Vance stepped down to become vice president.

Democrats landed the candidate they were hoping for in swing state New Hampshire in the race to succeed retiring longtime Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

Four-term Rep. Chris Pappas’ announcement in early April that he would run to succeed Shaheen has cleared the Democratic primary field, as of now, of any potential rivals for the party’s Senate nomination.

Meanwhile, a Republican primary in the state – where the GOP hasn’t won a Senate race in 15 years – is heating up between former Sen. Scott Brown and state Sen. Dan Innis, with the possibility of more candidates entering the race.

In battleground Georgia, which President Donald Trump narrowly carried in last year’s White House race, Republicans view first-term Sen. Jon Ossoff as the most vulnerable Democrat incumbent up for re-election next year.

But Ossoff is off to a very hot fundraising start, and a GOP primary between Reps. Mike Collins and Buddy Carter, and former college and professional football coach Derek Dooley, is starting to turn combustible.

Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia was first elected in 2021. He is running for re-election in the 2026 midterms.

Of potential concern for the Democrats is Michigan, where the dynamics appear to be the opposite of Georgia, in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers, the 2024 GOP Senate nominee who narrowly lost last year’s race, appears to have cleared the Republican, thanks in great part to Trump’s endorsement and likely arm twisting by the president’s political team.

Democrats, meanwhile, have a very competitive primary on their hands. The primary race includes three well-known Democrats: Rep. Haley Stevens, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, and former gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who enjoys the backing of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

And popular Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is running for the Senate as an independent, which could potentially hurt Democrats in the general election.

While Texas has long been a reliable red state, and conservative firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz comfortably won re-election last year, Democrats are optimistic about their 2026 chances to potentially flip a red seat to blue.

That’s because longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn is facing a serious primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a MAGA world rockstar.

Paxton has long been surrounded by scandals, and is now dealing with a headline-grabbing divorce with his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxtom. And Democrats believe if Paxton topples Cornyn in next March’s GOP primary, he’ll be toxic in the general election.

But Democrats could have a competitive primary in Texas as well.

Former Rep. Colin Allred, who lost to Cruz last November, launched a second straight campaign earlier this year.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who came close to ousting Cruz in the state’s 20218 Senate election before unsuccessfully running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and losing the 2022 Texas gubernatorial race to GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, is taking a hard look at a 2026 Senate run.

State Rep. James Talarico, who grabbed national attention recently for his appearance with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, and Rep. Joaquin Castro, are also mulling bids.

Democrats also feel they may have a shot in Iowa – a onetime swing state that’s become firmly red in recent election cycles – if Republican Sen. Joni Ernst decides against seeking a third term in the Senate.

But they’ll likely have a much better chance of flipping a GOP-held seat in blue state Maine if longtime Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins decides against seeking re-election.

Witkoff meets with Putin over war in Ukraine, no ceasefire agreements announced

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

White House envoy Steve Witkoff landed in Russia on Wednesday for his fifth visit with Russian President Vladimir Putin as President Donald Trump looks to force a peace deal and bring an end to the three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.

Little seems to have been accomplished from the three-hour meeting in the way of securing a peace deal, or even circumventing the threatened sanctions by Trump that Putin now stares down, though according to Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov, the meeting was described as «useful and constructive.»

Ushakov said Putin «received some signals from Trump» and «sent some signals,» but he did not elaborate on any specifics.

WITKOFF SCRAMBLES FOR PEACE DEAL WITH RUSSIA AS SANCTIONS LOOM TARGETING INDIA, CHINA

The advisor also told reporters that Putin and Witkoff had discussed developing the «strategic partnership» between the U.S. and Russia but did not elaborate how. The comment came after Witkoff was spotted earlier in the day taking a walk near the Kremlin with Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian president’s envoy for investment and economic cooperation.

Witkoff and Putin met shortly before noon in Moscow, according to the timestamp released by the Kremlin which accompanied an image of Putin and Witkoff smiling and shaking hands as Russian foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov looked on.

Witkoff’s team did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions on what the envoy was hoping to accomplish in his meeting with Putin, though some reporting this week suggested he may look to secure a moratorium on air strikes.

Witkoff traveled to Moscow in a last-ditch effort to get Putin to capitulate to Trump’s and Western calls for an end to the war, though the Kremlin chief was not expected to make great concessions in ending his war ambitions ahead of the trip. 

In mid-July, while seated next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump promised to enforce «very severe» tariffs on Russia if Putin does not enter into a deal with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy within 50 days.

«Tariffs at about 100%, you’d call them secondary tariffs,» he had said, implying that nations who trade with Russia will see 100% tariffs slapped on them when trading with the U.S. 

He then pushed the date up to within 10 days of July 29, forcing the new deadline for Friday.

But on Tuesday Trump walked back his 100% tariff threat amid tough trade talks with India and China, and said, «I never said a percentage.»

Advertisement

«We’ll see what happens over the next fairly short period of time,» he added in response to questions from reporters. «We have a meeting with Russia tomorrow. We’re going to see what happens. 

Trump and Rutte enter into a new NATO deal.

«We’ll make that determination at that time,» he added.

The tariffs would most drastically target China and India, which are the largest purchasers of Russian oil, though high tariffs on those nations, both of which are major traders with the U.S., would also mean higher prices for the American consumer.

Italia aprobó la construcción del puente colgante más largo del mundo sobre el estrecho de Mesina

El gobierno italiano aprobó este miércoles el proyecto definitivo para la construcción del puente sobre el estrecho de Mesina, una obra faraónica de 13.532 millones de euros que unirá por primera vez la península italiana con la isla de Sicilia mediante lo que será el puente colgante más largo del mundo.

El visto bueno fue otorgado por el Comité Interministerial para la Planificación Económica y el Desarrollo Sostenible (Cipess), tras evaluar la documentación técnica y financiera presentada por el Ministerio de Infraestructuras y Transportes y las empresas involucradas en el proyecto.

El ministro de Infraestructuras y viceprimer ministro, Matteo Salvini, anunció en rueda de prensa que espera “iniciar las obras, los trabajos y las expropiaciones entre septiembre y octubre”, una vez que el Tribunal de Cuentas otorgue su aprobación final. Salvini describió el proyecto como una “obra sin precedentes en el mundo” y un “proyecto de ingeniería fascinante” que acelerará el desarrollo económico del sur de Italia.

Según las estimaciones oficiales, una
Según las estimaciones oficiales, una vez completado entre 2032 y 2033, el puente tendrá una capacidad máxima de hasta 6.000 vehículos por hora y 200 trenes al día. (Webuild)

La estructura que unirá la isla con la península será el puente colgante más largo del mundo, con un vano central de 3.300 metros. Estará sostenido por dos torres de 399 metros de altura, situadas en las costas de Calabria y Sicilia, unidas por cuatro cables de suspensión.

El puente contará con tres carriles de carretera por sentido, dos carriles de servicio y dos vías ferroviarias en el centro. El tablero tendrá 60,4 metros de ancho y una altura de 72 metros sobre el nivel del mar para permitir el paso de embarcaciones de gran calado.

Según las estimaciones oficiales, una vez completado entre 2032 y 2033, el puente tendrá una capacidad máxima de hasta 6.000 vehículos por hora y 200 trenes al día, reduciendo dramáticamente el tiempo de viaje entre Calabria y Sicilia de las actuales dos o tres horas en ferry a apenas 15 minutos por carretera y 10 minutos en tren.

Los costos han aumentado significativamente:

La construcción del puente que una la región de Calabria con la ciudad de Messina es una idea que se estudia desde 1971. El ex primer ministro Silvio Berlusconi relanzó el proyecto durante su segundo gobierno (2001-2006) como uno de sus grandes sueños, aunque nunca llegó a colocarse la primera piedra.

Los intentos por construir un puente sobre el estrecho de Mesina se remontan incluso a tiempos antiguos. Según el cronista romano Plinio el Viejo, en el año 252 a.C. un cónsul logró trasladar 100 elefantes de guerra capturados desde Sicilia hasta la península italiana utilizando balsas hechas de “filas de barriles atados”.

En 2005, Berlusconi otorgó el primer contrato de 3.900 millones de euros para el puente, pero fue archivado meses después cuando cayó su gobierno. Al regresar al poder dos años más tarde, intentó revivir el proyecto, pero fue cancelado nuevamente en 2011 durante la crisis de deuda soberana europea.

Los costos han aumentado significativamente: de 4.400 millones de euros estimados hace dos décadas a los actuales 13.500 millones.

El gobierno de Giorgia Meloni ha reenmarcado el proyecto no solo como una obra de desarrollo económico, sino como una infraestructura estratégica crucial para la seguridad nacional. Italia ha comprometido aumentar su gasto en defensa al 5% del PIB dentro de una década como parte de sus compromisos con la OTAN, destinando 1,5% del PIB a infraestructuras estratégicas.

“El puente del estrecho de Mesina constituye una infraestructura fundamental con respecto a la movilidad militar, teniendo en cuenta la presencia de importantes bases de la OTAN en el sur de Italia”, señalaron las autoridades italianas en un informe de abril.

Sin embargo, expertos como Alessandro Marrone del Instituto de Asuntos Internacionales de Roma cuestionan esta justificación, argumentando que la prioridad de la OTAN es facilitar el despliegue rápido de tropas hacia el este europeo en caso de ataque ruso.

Marrone dijo al Financial Times que Italia debía centrarse en mejorar los puertos, aeropuertos y carreteras de las regiones donde están estacionadas sus tropas: “Si hay que ir al este, hay que hacerlo por el Adriático, en avión o por los Alpes”.

Se espera que el proyecto movilice más de 23.000 millones de euros en inversiones totales y genere aproximadamente 120.000 puestos de trabajo durante su ejecución. El consorcio Eurolink, liderado por la empresa italiana Webuild y que incluye la participación de 235 compañías —entre ellas la española Sacyr con un 22,4% de participación—, además de empresas japonesas y danesas, se adjudicó la obra.

El proyecto enfrenta resistencia local

Sin embargo, el proyecto enfrenta resistencias. Diversas asociaciones ciudadanas y medioambientales han denunciado los posibles daños al ecosistema marino del estrecho de Mesina y alertan sobre el riesgo de infiltración de mafias locales, como la ‘Ndrangheta en Calabria y Cosa Nostra en Sicilia.

La Dirección de Investigación Antimafia ha advertido en varias ocasiones sobre estos peligros, por lo que no se descarta que se presenten denuncias legales contra el proyecto.

Los residentes de Messina también se han movilizado para intentar detener el proyecto, que requerirá cambios masivos en la ciudad, incluyendo la reubicación de la estación de tren y demoliciones de algunos barrios.

A pesar de las controversias, el gobierno describió el puente como “infraestructura estratégica” y de “interés nacional” para completar las redes transeuropeas de transporte, con lo que describe como un “acelerador del desarrollo” para dos de las regiones más pobres de Italia.
