Rubio to meet with Denmark on Greenland as one lawmaker says Trump's remarks are "pissing people off" Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would meet with Danish officials next week, after the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark requested to confer "as soon as possible," lawmaker Lars Christian Brask, vice-chair of the Danish Parliament's Foreign Policy Committee, told CBS News on Wednesday. Brask said he was "guessing that it will be a matter of putting facts right, and stop the misinformation and stop talking about wanting to acquire Greenland. Greenland is not for sale." The request comes after Rubio told U.S. lawmakers Monday that the Trump administration's goal was to buy the island, not take it by force, according to a lawmaker and a source familiar...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Actions in Venezuela divide Americans as they look for clarity on Trump admin. goals, CBS News poll finds The U.S. military action removing Nicolás Maduro from power divides Americans, and their views on it connect to what they think the U.S. goals are and what they believe comes next. At the moment, most think the Trump administration is among other aims trying to get access to Venezuela's oil and expand U.S. power in the region — and when Americans think those are big parts of the goals, they tend to disapprove. When people think the goals are a lot about stopping drugs, gangs and terrorists, they are more approving. That view is largely voiced by Republicans, including MAGA Republicans, who think this action will make the U.S. stronger, and they give the operation overwhelming support. Either way, that mix of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Despite Trump warning, Iran shopkeeper Erfan Soltani among many facing possible hanging A 26-year-old Iranian man, Erfan Soltani, was set to be executed Wednesday, accused by the Islamic Republic's government of participating in the protests that swept across the country for two weeks, according to a human rights group in contact with his family. Hengaw, an organization that monitors unrest in Iran and has spoken with his family, told CBS News on Wednesday that it was unable to confirm whether Soltani had already been executed. The uncertainty over his fate came as Iran appeared to ignore a new warning from President Trump of "strong action" in response to reports of the regime hanging people detained during the protests.

Senate GOP kills war powers effort to limit Trump on Venezuela, with Vance breaking tie Senate Republicans killed a war powers resolution to limit President Trump's ability to further strike Venezuela after the White House put pressure on a handful of GOP senators who supported it. Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana flipped their support Wednesday after initially voting to advance it. Vice President JD Vance had to step in to break the 50-50 tie. Republicans used a procedural maneuver to block the measure, arguing that the resolution should no longer be "privileged" — which gives it priority on the floor — because the U.S. is not currently engaged in "hostilities" with Venezuela.

U.S. attack on alleged drug boat from Venezuela used aircraft painted like civilian plane, sources say The U.S. used an aircraft painted like a civilian plane in the attack on an alleged drug-smuggling boat from Venezuela that killed 11 people in September, multiple officials confirmed to CBS News. According to the sources, Pentagon officials have defended the use of the aircraft by saying it was used because of how quickly the operation came together, not because the Pentagon was trying to mislead the targets. The New York Times was the first to report on the aircraft looking like a civilian plane. The strike on Sept. 2 was the first in a series of attacks the U.S. has taken against what officials have said are drug-trafficking boats.

While the administration has made it clear that Mr. Trump will have a number of options at his disposal, from conventional strikes by the U.S. military to cyberwarfare, the White House has given no hint as to what the president will do.

A year ago, the rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.04%. The last time the rate on a typical mortgage was lower was Sept. 15, 2022, when it was at 6.02%.

But some older Americans could see far more. AARP notes that taxpayers in the 22% tax bracket — roughly those earning between $44,000 and the deduction's $75,000 income cap — could save as much as $1,320 per person. "The benefits could be vast," said Bill Sweeney, AARP's senior vice president of government affairs, in a conference call Thursday.

Gas is currently at $2.67 a gallon nationally, the lowest it's been since May 2021. But prices have been steadily declining since last November, weeks before the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuela's autocratic leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Bank of America may introduce credit card with 10% APR Bank of America is weighing whether to launch a new credit card that would comply with President Trump's push to temporarily cap card interest rates at 10%, according to a person familiar with the financial giant's plans. Bank of America already offers credit cards with initial average percentage rates below 10%. For example, its no-frills BankAmericard offers consumers a 0% introductory APR for 18 months. Once that period ends, however, the APR rises to between 14.5% and 24%, depending on the cardholder's credit score. In a social media post, Mr. Trump earlier this month called for a 10% cap on credit card rates for one year, accusing credit card issuers of having "ripped off" consumers for years by charging...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

YAMIL LAGE /AFP via Getty Images President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that would impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, a move that could further cripple an island plagued by a deepening energy crisis. The order would primarily put pressure on Mexico, a government that has acted as an oil lifeline for Cuba and has constantly voiced solidarity for the U.S. adversary, even as President Claudia Sheinbaum has sought to build a strong relationship with Mr. Trump.

The U.S. dollar just fell to its lowest level in 4 years. Here's why. The dollar's decline also coincides with a host of destabilizing forces, ranging from the latest tariff threats by President Trump to another potential government shutdown this weekend, according to economists. A longer-term trend is also weighing on the currency, as investors shift out of the dollar and into hard assets such as gold, JPMorgan Chase said in a 2025 report. The dollar's most recent leg down is due to "Trump's promotion of tariff policy and pressure on the Fed to lower the key rate," Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, told CBS News. "Over the past couple of weeks, these factors have resurfaced due to a new round of tariff threats and Trump's comments that he feels comfortable with the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
