President-elect Trump’s decision to nominate Kash Patel to serve as FBI director has sparked mixed reactions from lawmakers and former officials, with Republicans praising the controversial pick. “…
President-elect Donald J. Trump has long seen his bombastic national security operative as a political “enforcer.” But former colleagues question his fitness for the job.

President-elect Donald Trump said he would require countries that are part of BRICS — a China- and Russia-backed group of emerging economies — to commit to not creating new currency or face 100% tariffs during his administration.
Trump’s pick for FBI director has sparked debate, with supporters backing his anti-corruption stance, while critics question his qualifications and ties.
The strikes in support of Assad, a close Moscow ally, followed what was the boldest rebel assault for years in a civil war where frontlines had largely been frozen since 2020.
