President Donald Trump is once again in the spotlight after a high-profile phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The two leaders discussed trade progress and the contentious issue of Taiwan, sparking global attention.
Following the call, Trump is scheduled to brief Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, highlighting the delicate balance of U.S. alliances in Asia. Observers note that Taiwan remains a flashpoint in these discussions.
Meanwhile, Trump signed an executive order directing U.S. agencies to consider designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The move is expected to generate significant debate among international partners.
On a lighter note, Trump will pardon two turkeys—Gobble and Waddle—at the annual White House Thanksgiving ceremony, continuing a quirky tradition that dates back decades.
Barron Trump, however, has been pulled into headlines due to viral misinformation. Social media posts falsely claimed he confronted Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a Senate hearing. Fact-checkers quickly debunked the videos as fabricated.
As the holiday season begins, the arrival of the White House Christmas tree reminds Americans of tradition, even as political controversies swirl.
