MEXICO CITY: In a move likely to stir controversy, Mexico has officially renamed the Liberty Bell "the TACO Bell," the Mexican president announced on Monday. Effective immediately, the landmark will be referred to as the TACO Bell in all Mexican atlases, encyclopedias, and history textbooks, President Claudia Sheinbaum said. In her announcement, she gave Donald J. Trump "full credit" for the name change. "Thanks to Donald Trump, when one thinks of America, one no longer thinks of liberty," she said. "One thinks of TACO."

A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump's signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country's trade policy dependent on his whims.
Elon Musk's bromance with President Donald Trump has taken a hit after the tech billionaire blasted the White House for 'undermining' him and treating DOGE like 'whipping boys.' The billionaire Tesla CEO spoke to the press before launching a SpaceX Starship into the stratosphere on Tuesday night and unleashed on Trump's $3.8 trillion spending bill. 'It undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,' Musk bluntly told CBS. 'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it.'
WASHINGTON: Donald J. Trump's sweeping travel ban has proven totally unnecessary as the rest of the world has shown no interest in visiting what it deems to be a -------- country, travel experts confirmed on Thursday.
"When people plan vacations, they usually avoid countries with soaring prices, random arrests on the street, and measles outbreaks," Harland Dorrinson, an international travel expert said.
Additionally, he said, "Travel-wise, people prefer destinations where food undergoes rigorous inspections and planes don't fall out of the sky."
Noting that travel to the US had plummeted since Trump became president, he added, "At this point North Koreans are staying away."
