(CNN) — Los líderes estadounidenses están organizando un esfuerzo urgente para evitar que la guerra de Israel contra Hamas y la consiguiente catástrofe civil en Gaza se conviertan en un conflicto regional cada vez más amplio que podría convertirse en una crisis geopolítica aún mayor después de los horribles ataques de este mes.Mientras un segundo grupo de ataque de portaaviones estadounidense se dirige a la región, el presidente Joe Biden dijo a “60 Minutes” que respalda a Israel mientras venga su día más oscuro en 50 años, y mientras se concentra en la difícil situación de los estadounidenses entre los más de 150 personas tomadas como rehenes durante la incursión de Hamas. Pero también dijo, una vez más, que sería “un gran error” que Israel ocupara Gaza y pidió volver a una negociación hacia un Estado palestino.Sus comentarios se produjeron después de un fin de semana de frustración para los ciudadanos estadounidenses atrapados en la salida entre Gaza y Egipto, mientras la ad...

Trump sues ex-British spy over dossier containing ‘shocking and scandalous claims’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:59 GMT

By BRIAN MELLEY (Associated Press)LONDON (AP) — A lawyer for Donald Trump told a London judge Monday that the ex-president plans to prove that a discredited report by a former British spy that contained “shocking and scandalous claims” that he was compromised by Russians in his first bid for the presidency was wrong and harmed his reputation.Trump has sued the company founded by Christopher Steele, who created a dossier in 2016 that contained rumors and uncorroborated allegations about Trump that erupted in a political storm just before he was inaugurated.Trump is seeking damages from Orbis Business Intelligence for allegedly violating British data protection laws.

Biden postpones trip to Colorado to discuss domestic agenda as the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:59 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden postponed a trip to Colorado on Monday to stay in Washington and focus on the growing conflict in the Middle East, setting aside an opportunity to pitch his economic accomplishments as he runs for reelection.Biden had been heading to the district of Rep. Lauren Boebert, where he was to visit CS Wind, the world’s largest facility for wind tower manufacturing. But the White House said just a few hours before Biden was set to take off for the trip that it would be rescheduled. Instead, Biden is expected to hold a series of high-level meetings with aides on Israel and the growing humanitarian concerns in Gaza. The Democratic president is weighing a decision to visit the region in what would be a striking symbol of support for Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 Israelis. More than 2,300 Palestinians have died in the ensuing Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which is bracing for a ground invasion. At least 30 U.S....

Trump’s Iowa campaign ramps up its organizing after his infamously chaotic 2016 second-place effort

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:59 GMT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — By the time Donald Trump returns to Iowa on Monday, the Republican former president will have drawn more than 10,000 people to his events in the state in less than a month. There’s no guarantee his crowds will translate to support in the state’s Jan. 15 caucuses, which will launch the 2024 nominating cycle. But unlike his seat-of-the-pants campaign in 2016, he has a more sophisticated organization to capitalize on his high-wattage events and often emphasizes in his remarks how to participate in the caucuses. Trump isn’t downplaying expectations that he will win Iowa this time. His advisers want to lock in a blowout that discourages talk of a second-place finisher consolidating support and taking on the former president directly. A traditional measure of campaign organization in Iowa is the caucus pledge card. People who attend Trump’s events are asked to sign a commitment that they will attend the caucuses and support him, providing their co...
