10.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Trump Proposed Social Media Checks for US Entry
⌨
UK media coverage on December 10th was significantly shaped by Donald Trump's ongoing influence, particularly his proposed new digital checks for foreign tourists. Morning reports detailed his intention to impose extraordinary screenings, including demands for five years of social media history for anyone entering the US. This development follows his recent criticisms of European nations and his perceived understanding of the Ukraine war, as praised by Lavrov.
Concurrently, there were reports of Trump setting a 'Christmas deadline' for Ukraine to accept a deal, continuing the narrative from previous days about peace talks and European responses. The Supreme Court's decision to grant Trump more power also received attention. Domestically, an NHS chief called for an end to Christmas doctors' strikes amid a flu wave, with a last-minute offer later emerging.
