Trump accepted $37 million worth of donated foreign steel for his White House ballroom from a corporation based in Luxembourg. Just days later, the Trump administration made major cuts to tariffs on steel imports that could significantly benefit that corporation. "America First."

Israel's continued strikes in Lebanon are undermining any hope of peace. The UK must act now: sanction Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet, and halt all UK arms exports to Israel. We must also finally proscribe the IRGC and support multilateral plans to disarm Hezbollah.

The bases should never have been opened to US use. They should now immediately be closed to them. This is patently the case. It is a military power with explicitly genocidal intent. Given how severe that danger is, the reassurances of its military officials about authorised use are insufficient.
