Donald Trump Jr. lashed out at the European Union on Tuesday, saying its liberal policies were discouraging investment and predicted a “major fracture” between the bloc's eastern and western member states.

Lil Nas X enters a mental health program intended to lead to dropped charges of attacking police

A judge has allowed Lil Nas X to enter a mental health diversion program intended to lead to the dismissal of charges of attacking Los Angeles police officers.

Trump has delayed several deadlines for Iran, but Tuesday's nears with his most menacing threat

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed back deadlines for Iran to cut a deal or open the Strait of Hormuz, but his latest deadline for Tuesday came with his most perilous threat yet: “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Trump's previous deadline was weeks ago, but it was postponed several times as the Republican president oscillated between heated threats, announced delays and proclamations that the negotiations were going well, sometimes in the same statement. That was true in Trump's Truth Social post before his Tues

Beyond gas: The price increases American consumers are experiencing from the Iran war

After weeks of war-driven pressure on fuel prices and supply chains, some businesses are starting to pass those higher costs along to consumers via new fees — or through other, less obvious changes.“Companies tend to look for ways to get more out of what they already have first, like packing more into each shipment or combining orders into a single delivery,” said Rahul Shahani, a partner at McKinsey leading the company’s North American supply chain practice. “Over time, those higher costs still show up in subtle ways like higher free shipping minimums, fewer discounts, smaller packa

Red lights are flashing on the scarcity of oil

Six weeks ago, the world was practically swimming in crude oil. The market was oversupplied and prices were low and stable. But now, some parts of the energy market are acting like the world is on the verge of running dry.That’s because the war in the Middle East has sparked the biggest oil supply disruption on record, sidelining an estimated 12 million to 15 million barrels of crude oil per day.A supply shock of that magnitude is simply not sustainable. Neither emergency oil releases nor promised production hikes from OPEC+ can fill the gap.Now, red lights are flashing in the market about t
