What a spirited football from Cape Verde. It was a tough one. Cape Verde proved that there are no small teams anymore.
You put in the work, and with a bit of luck, you will pull through. This indeed was a beautiful spectacle.
Cape Verde has made Africa proud.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 50 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.
The Islamic regime in Iran has just closed the Strait of Hormuz. They understand Hebrew, not Trumpism. Yes, Trump, they are bullying you and taking America's interests hostage. You were advised not to trust them, and you did.
Always chasing the wrong things.
What happened to Greenland? He said Canada will become another U.S state, same with Venezuela. He said he will remove Iran's terror regime and destroy its nuclear program. He floated the Board of Peace which has been a resounding failure.
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump's team has just launched a TRADE ACT investigation into GERMANY for possibly screwing over American patients by underpaying for certain pharma products, which would make us pay more
GOOD! Hold them accountable, no freeloading!
TRADE REP. GREER: "President Trump has made clear that American patients should not be shouldering a disproportionate share of global pharmaceutical research and development."
“I am particularly concerned with news that Germany is fast-tracking legislation that would further reduce its spending on innovative pharmaceuticals."
"This is a serious step backwards at a time when our trading partners need to step up and start paying their fair share to fund innovative pharmaceutical research and development."
"We believe that the United States and Germany can find a path forward that expands access to the most innovative drugs for the German people while ensuring fair reimbursement for the pharmaceuticals made by American workers."
BREAKING: Following the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's IRGC Navy warns all vessels and ships approaching the Strait "will be unequivocally attacked," emphasizing it's closed to all commercial vessels under any circumstances, per Fars.
This must be the most useless MOU anywhere in history.
First of all, this shows the U.S is not as powerful as everyone thinks.
Second, if the U.S cannot put Iran in its place, then it does not have the capacity to convince Israel to stand down, militarily or diplomatically.
BREAKING: Iran rejects Axios new claim that FM Araghchi is traveling to Switzerland Saturday for negotiations, saying no meeting or negotiations will take place and no delegation will attend now or in the future unless Article 13 of the MOU is fully implemented first, per Tasnim.
Article 13 requires the US to first implement an immediate end to all military operations in Lebanon including permanent Israeli withdrawal, issue Treasury waivers for Iranian oil and financial transactions, and release all frozen Iranian funds up to $100 billion. Unless the US fulfills these demands, all negotiations including nuclear remain cancelled.
BREAKING: In a stunning move, France’s leader Emmanuel Macron just announced he will not allow Donald Trump to remove sanctions on Iran until there is satisfactory agreement on ending Iran’s nuclear program. This is how you check Trump’s insanity.
Trying to appear tough. Well, it's just drama. He's got nothing else to do. He is trying to show his supporters he is still the same no nonsense and decisive person they voted for. To keep the base from turning against him. His antics are wretched and digusting like his ego.
Stick to the issues. Stop mixing things up. Whatever she does as PM is non of your business. That is up to the Italians. The issue here is your president saying she begged to take a picture with him. Speak to the behaviour of your president and not what she is doing as PM.
Has there been a bigger political disappointment in the last decade than Giorgia Meloni?
She was elected by acting like she'd be the Donald Trump of Europe, and she quickly turned into the Kamala Harris of Europe!
At this point, Israel should tell the America to return to their counyry. Thank them for their help so far but also strongly insist to allow them deal with their problems alone. After all, America is only a super power on paper with a lunatic in power.
BREAKING: Iran has declared that ships cannot cross the Strait of Hormuz without its permission, setting the stage for future tolling arrangements by saying it could introduce “insurance fees," per Bloomberg.
Details include:
1. All vessels that transit the Strait of Hormuz will have to secure a mandatory insurance policy
2. This policy is currently free for the next 60 days but could involve charges in the future
3. Iran also said ships must follow its prescribed route and that alternatives are prohibited
The MoU signed with the US only says that transit through the Strait of Hormuz would be free for the duration of its 60 day term.
It appears Iran is preparing for long-term control of Hormuz.
Trump is unhappy with the criticism he is receiving:
"Those who think I haven't been tough enough on Iran, when the stock market just hit an all-time high and oil prices are "plunging" down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid."
