Politicians

Donald Trump has signaled his backing for a ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana use in Florida, where he resides.

"Whether people like it or not," the Republican presidential candidate said on his Truth Social platform, "this will happen."

The EU said it is "extremely concerned" about the deepening political crisis in Venezuela, where the results of the presidential election last month have been rejected by the opposition, the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Sunday.

He wanted the U.S presidential election to be about "Bidenomics." Instead, it risks being about "Bidenflation."

Joe Biden faces one of the biggest threats to his hopes of beating Donald Trump from rising prices that are hitting Americans in the wallet.

Since President Erdogan agreed in principle to enlargement at the NATO summit in Vilnius last July, we have witnessed a political back-and-forth on the Swedish issue reminiscent of the hustle and bustle of an oriental bazaar. 

Day 487 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on June 24 said Turkey was ready to help seek a "peaceful resolution" to an armed rebellion in Russia, in a phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, his office said.

"The situation in Russia is dynamic, the situation is scarce. We need to know the real reasons for what is happening - whether Prigozhin's goal is the overthrow of Putin, or his old quarrels with the Ministry of Defense and the struggle for supremacy at the front." President Rumen Radev said this to the media today before the start of the Wachau Forum in Austria.

Once a low-profile businessman who benefited from having President Vladimir Putin as a powerful patron, Yevgeny Prigozhin moved into the global spotlight with Russia's war in Ukraine.

"What we see is a stabbing in the back of the state and the people". This was stated by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin in a statement to the Russian people, world agencies reported.

The statement followed the actions last night and this morning by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia's private military company Wagner.

Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was notorious for unbridled and profane challenges to authority even before the attempted rebellion that he mounted Saturday. The reported agreement for him to go into exile in Belarus would place him in a country where such behavior is even less acceptable than in his homeland.
