Chinese leader Xi Jinping's first formal trip to Washington in 11 years ended with ceremony, symbolism and a short extension of the U.S.-China trade truce, but few substantive breakthroughs.

Senior leaders and security cooperation personnel from across the War Department gathered in Atlanta for the 2026 National Guard Bureau State Partnership Program conference, where officials worked to align international engagements with national defense strategy.

US President Donald Trump has rejected an Iranian proposal to restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, dismissing Tehran's offer as unacceptable despite mounting economic pressure from the waterway's effective closure.

Television host Chris Hansen has sharply criticised A24's new crime thriller "Primetime," saying the film's portrayal of his work on "To Catch a Predator" is "detached from reality" and questioning the point of the project.

Ian Brennan's latest entry in the Monster franchise revisits the Lizzie Borden case with a lurid, time-jumping approach that critics say collapses under its own sensationalism.
