Zaman went on to call for international aid as rescuers combed through collapsed homes for survivors.  The ministry said that 1,000 injured people had been evacuated and admitted to hospitals. Secretary-General António Guterres said in a post on X that a United Nations team has been mob...

However, Maduro said the buildup is an intervention in his country's affairs.

Today, President Trump celebrated labour day with American labour union. The  Trump administration  is marking Labor Day by pointing to falling gas prices and rising wages, casting its economic record as a win for American workers. "What we're seeing is unemployment definitely holding steady, but we're seeing real wages up. We're seeing blue-collar  wages up  1.4%, consumer confidence is up," Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said Monday on "Fox & Friends." This comes as headlines point to the lowest Labor Day gas prices since 2020 and the equal-weight S&P 500  logging its  "longest winning streak in years," according to market data.  Though the Trump administration is confident it set the stage for such positive outcomes through deregulation and increased energy output, not everyone agrees on the cause. Analysts in a CNN report on gas prices, including CIBC Private Wealth senior energy trader Rebecca Babin, pointed to Saudi Arabia-le...
