17.11.2025 โ‡ข The Day Trump Reversed on Epstein Files
โŒจUS media on November 17th largely centered on President Trump's reversal, now urging House Republicans to vote for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. This shift, following earlier discussions and his previous stance, dominated the morning and continued as the primary narrative throughout the day. Reports also highlighted the US plans to designate a Venezuelan cartel as a foreign terrorist organization amid rising tensions and military presence in the Caribbean. By evening, the focus remained on Trump's Epstein files position, coupled with coverage of a judge's order for the DOJ to turn over grand jury materials in the James Comey case, citing "profound investigative missteps." The UN Security Council's approval of a US-drafted Gaza cease-fire plan also emerged as a significant development later in the day.
