'Israel's' Gaza attacks fueling Islamophobia across Europe: Report

CNN has released an exclusive audio recording in which US President Donald Trump claims he issued direct threats to Russian and Chinese leaders, warning he would bomb their capitals if they launched military offensives against Ukraine or Taiwan. The audio was recorded at a 2024 campaign fundraiser, where Trump recounted past conversations with Russia's President Vladimir Putin and China's President Xi Jinping. “If you go into Ukraine, I’m gonna bomb the sh** out of Moscow,” Trump said he told Putin, adding that the Russian President “believed me 10%.” He also claimed to have delivered a similar message to Xi, threatening to “bomb the sh** out of Beijing” if China moved on Taiwan. The recording surfaced just days after Trump reportedly held a phone call with Putin. Despite previously vowing to swiftly end the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump recently acknowledged that no significant progress had been made and admitted, “I don’t know” if he can stop it.
