Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to Nigeria, threatening to halt American aid and consider possible military intervention if attacks on Christians in the country persist.

Donald Trump has publicly called for the imprisonment of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, after they opposed his use of National Guard forces and immigration enforcement efforts in Chicago.   Trump branded both leaders as failing to protect ICE officers and pointed to Johnson’s executive order creating an “ICE‑Free Zone” in the city. He also defended troop deployment to Chicago despite strong objections from local and state authorities.   In response, Johnson called Trump’s move yet another attempt at targeting a Black man unjustly, while Pritzker warned of authoritarian overreach and vowed to resist. Neither has been formally charged with a crime.   As Texas National Guard troops gather near Chicago—and legal challenges mount—a national spotlight falls on how far federal power can intrude into state and city governance. The showdown could reshape rules around law enforcement, immigration, and local autonomy.

The United States is once again facing a government shutdown under President Donald Trump’s administration. But this time, political analysts say the stakes are higher — the tension deeper, the effects wider, and the motive more personal. According to a report by Livemint,the 2025 shutdown marks a turning point in America’s growing political divide. The disagreement stems from the federal budget dispute, border-security funding, and Trump’s insistence on cutting what he calls “government waste.” Unlike the 2018–2019 shutdown, which lasted 35 days and left over 800,000 federal workers without pay, this one comes with a stronger push from Trump’s allies in Congress. The president’s message is simple: reduce federal control, strengthen the executive arm, and force lawmakers to align with his fiscal agenda. Critics, however, see it differently. Democrats have accused the White House of holding ordinary Americans hostage in a political power play. They argue the shutdown has crippled key fe...
