Cuba's biggest threat to U.S. is collapse, says former Defense Secretary Robert Gates As President Trump makes threats against Cuba, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the biggest risk the Communist-ruled island poses to the U.S. is its potential collapse and a migration crisis to the U.S. "The biggest risk is that we end up with another Mariel evacuation from Cuba that has tens of thousands of Cubans heading to the United States out of desperation," Gates said Friday in an interview with "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." Known as the Mariel Boatlift, about 125,000 Cubans sought refuge in the U.S. in 1980, as Cuba's failing economy led to dissent on the island.

Trump administration proposes welcoming thousands more Afrikaners to U.S. as refugees, citing "emergency" The Trump administration is doubling down on efforts to resettle White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees in the U.S., proposing to increase the government's refugee cap to welcome thousands more of them, according to a State Department plan sent to Congress and obtained by CBS News. The administration has effectively closed the U.S. refugee program for most nationalities, except Afrikaners from South Africa, arguing they're the victims of racial oppression for being White. The South African government has denied persecuting the ethnic minority, composed of descendants of European settlers, mostly from the Netherlands.

Some of the survivors of the attack also said at least one soldier who was killed could have been saved if there had been more medical resources onsite. The soldiers' accounts suggest the Pentagon didn't adequately prepare U.S. personnel for Iran's retaliatory strike that killed six U.S. service members and wounded 20.

Colombians, weary of violence, begin voting in high-stakes election Millions in Colombia are heading to the polls on Sunday to cast their vote in a high-stakes presidential election that is expected to result in a runoff between two strikingly different candidates. A new president could be elected, but no candidate is expected to clear the 50% threshold required to win in the first round. A runoff between the top two finishers is almost certain on June 21. Polls show that the race between the 14 candidates on the ballot has narrowed down to three names, though two dominate. On the far left is Senator Iván Cepeda, candidate of the ruling Pacto Histórico party and the heir to President Gustavo Petro's policies. On the far right is Abelardo de la Espriella, a lawyer who...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Southwest rolls back its overweight passenger policy. Here's what's changing. Southwest Airlines has rolled back part of its divisive policy requiring overweight passengers to buy two tickets on flights when they require a second seat because of their size.

Defense lawyers representing Tyler Robinson had asked Judge Tony Graf to close portions of the preliminary hearing on July 6-10, when prosecutors must show they have enough evidence to warrant a trial.

"If and when that happens, it will be a very long, multi-month to multi-year process for things to fully normalize." Across the U.S., a gallon of regular gas on Tuesday sold for an average of $4.29, down from more than $4.50 in May, according to AAA.

Israel and Lebanon agree to renew ceasefire if Hezbollah cuts off attacks The Israeli and Lebanese governments have agreed to renew a ceasefire, both sides said Wednesday, after weeks of deadly fighting between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon had imperiled broader negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to end their conflict. The U.S.-brokered deal is contingent on Hezbollah cutting off attacks and evacuating from a swath of southern Lebanon, according to a joint statement issued by the Israeli, Lebanese and American governments. Israel is not in direct conflict with Lebanon's armed forces. Hezbollah is backed by Iran and has significant influence within Lebanon, especially among its Shiite community, and the Lebanese state has long...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

House approves new Ukraine aid as over a dozen Republicans defect The House approved an effort on Thursday to send fresh assistance to Ukraine after a few Republican members joined with Democrats to force a vote on the issue.
