A Guatemalan man who was deported from the United States and his wife, who later left the country voluntarily to join him, were found dead in a sugarcane field in southwestern Guatemala, authorities said Tuesday. Their 1-year-old daughter was found alive beside their bodies. Nixon Giovanni Perez, 43, and Glendy Marisol Gonzalez, 25, were discovered with their hands tied behind their backs in a field outside Retalhuleu, a city about 112 miles (180 kilometers) west of Guatemala City, according to photos reviewed by Reuters.
Senator Lindsey Graham credited himself with persuading United States President Donald Trump to join Israel in going to war against Iran, "almost cried" with joy when the conflict began, and offered to lobby Trump on behalf of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Lebanon too, newly released footage has shown. Graham, who died on July 11 aged 71, was a close confidant of Trump and Netanyahu, both of whom are attending his funeral on Tuesday. Graham, laughing and clearly delighted, exclaimed: "How long have we been pushing this?" "Look what we've done here. I almost cried," Graham said. "I talked to Trump this morning. Oh, he's jacked! He said best thing I've ever done'. He loves blowing stuff up."
President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice on Tuesday separately asked the Supreme Court to overturn a civil court verdict that ordered him to pay the writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her while denying her claim that he sexually assaulted her in a New York department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. "This is the first case in our Nation's history in which a court has imposed damages liability on a President for his conduct in office," the petition to the Supreme Court by Trump's lawyers says.
The Trump administration will end a subsidy program, meant to keep premiums stable for Medicare prescription drug plans, after 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said on Tuesday. The agency said its review of 2027 bids showed insurers have gained enough experience with Medicare Part D to accurately price their plans without support from the program. "We are stabilizing the market so this bailout is no longer needed. Premiums will go up by less than $10 for most Medicare recipients, with many even seeing lower premiums," CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in a post on X.
Canadians are boycotting the United States in record numbers thanks to President Donald Trump. That boycott by our northern neighbors has cost $3.3 billion in tourism dollars to the U.S., according to a new report from the Canadian government. Visits hit rock bottom in July, falling more than 30 percent year-on-year for the first time since the months following 9/11 terrorist attacks. "The resulting 11-month streak of year-over-year declines was the deepest and most sustained on record for border crossings from the United States," the report also noted.
