Trump tells Europe to get its 'act together' on immigration – DW – 07
As he arrived in Scotland to play golf and meet leaders, US President Donald Trump told reporters that immigration was "killing Europe." Europe "better get [its] act together" on immigration, US President Donald Trump said as he landed in Scotland on Friday evening. Trump's trip will cost US taxpayers at least $10 million (€8.5 million), according to an analysis by the HuffPost , a progressive US news website. Trump told journalists there was a "good 50/50 chance" of a deal being struck, adding that it would be the "biggest deal of them all." Campaign groups have planned what they call a "festival of resistance" against Trump's visit in several Scottish cities.

Trump Doesn't Rule Out Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell
US President Donald Trump Chip Somodevilla via Getty ImagesOn his way out the door to a weekend golf trip that’s set to cost American taxpayers at least $10 million, Donald Trump stopped to answer a couple questions from reporters ― and he was awfully cagey when asked about Ghislaine Maxwell. Asked if he would pardon or commute the sentence of Maxwell, sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s onetime girlfriend, Trump sure didn’t say “no.”Advertisement“I’m allowed to do it,” he told reporters. He then claimed that “it’s something I’ve not thought about.”Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: "I'm allowed to do it" pic.twitter.com/e9bjwFqfYr — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 25, 2025Presumably, Trump wouldn’t pardon Maxwell, who was convicted for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls, unless it benefited him personally — perhaps by buying her silence or otherwise somehow distracting the country from his own past relationship with Epstein. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida. “What I do want to say is that Blanche is a great attorney,” Trump told reporters.

Trump Administration OKs Skydance Merger With CBS Parent Company Paramount
LOADING ERROR LOADINGIn a decision that critics say reeks of corruption and threatens press freedoms, the Federal Communications Commission has approved Skydance’s $8 billion acquisition of CBS parent company Paramount Global, both of which made significant concessions to President Donald Trump in recent weeks. The merger approved Thursday is likely to result in a rightward shift at CBS News, one of the country’s three major media networks. “That is why I welcome Skydance’s commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network. “After months of cowardly capitulation to this Administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted. Unfortunately, it is the American public who will ultimately pay the price for its actions,” she wrote, accusing the FCC of coercing Paramount into the settlement.
