Trump's Michigan rally celebrating his first 100 days dominated morning headlines, with his defiant "nothing will stop me" rhetoric echoing across multiple outlets. Meanwhile, Tony Blair triggered Labour divisions by criticizing net zero policies, later executing a conspicuous U-turn.
Mid-day reports revealed the US economy contracted 0.3% - its worst performance in three years amid Trump's tariff policies. Despite this, Trump praised tariffs during a Cabinet meeting, claiming they had saved the economy $8 trillion.
King Charles provided a candid update on his "frightening" cancer battle, mentioning inspiration from Dame Deborah James. By evening, the US-Ukraine minerals deal finally materialized after months of negotiations following Trump and Zelensky's contentious White House meeting. News outlets characterized this as a potential game-changer for Ukraine's war effort, representing continued American commitment despite previous tensions.
