The other Donald Trump appointee making headlines is the president’s new chief-of-staff, Stephen Miller. Known as the architect of Trump’s tough immigration policies, the appointment is seen as a clear sign Trump has no intention of playing nice with the other side, despite indicating he would do just that after the Republicans massive midterms loss. Jonathan looks back at Miller’s past to try and decipher how a descendent of a family fleeing persecution developed such hardline views that he has been condemned as a white nationalist Continue reading...

A deal giving Moscow a slice of Ukrainian territory and sanctions relief could be on the table in weeks – yet European leaders are busy squabbling Donald Trump has lost substantial power over domestic policy after last week’s devastating midterm losses, but his ability to cement his legacy by upending US foreign policy remains largely intact. There is every reason to fear a ”great betrayal” of Ukraine in the coming weeks, one that would reward Vladimir Putin for Russia’s war of aggression against Kyiv, and also do lasting damage to the European security order. Yet lilliputian European leaders are too busy squabbling over who should represent them in future peace talks to focus on how to prevent a sellout. Despite fundamental European interests being at stake in this week’s three-way US-Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Europe is relegated to a side room, represented by a posse of officials from the UK, France, Germany, the EU and Nato.

Trump-appointed judge Jeffrey T Kuntz partially denies British broadcaster’s motion to dismiss over edit Federal judge Jeffrey T Kuntz ruled on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the BBC can proceed, denying in part the British broadcaster’s motion to dismiss the case. The president’s $10bn defamation lawsuit stems from the BBC’s splicing together of disparate comments he made before the 6 January US Capitol insurrection, as rendered in a Panorama documentary called Trump: A Second Chance. “Accepting the allegations in the complaint as true, the Court finds Trump plausibly pled damages where Trump alleges a defamatory documentary released toward the election caused reputational harm,” the Trump-appointed Florida district court judge wrote. “It would be difficult for the Court to accept a different framing without completely negating the significance and fragility of political elections.” Continue reading...

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was sent a highly classified memo warning about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang, multiple sources familiar told Axios. Why it matters: Lutnick oversees the agency charged with keeping sensitive U.S. technology out of the hands of American adversaries. The warning raises questions about how the department weighed potential security risks as it cleared advanced Nvidia chip sales to China-affiliated entities. Driving the news : Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the drafting of the memo detailing Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, who U.S. intelligence officials believe is a Chinese intelligence agent, according to The New York Times. The memo, which drew on surveillance of Alice Huang and a chip-smuggling investigation into her company, Megaspeed, circulated before President Trump's trip to May 13–15 trip to China. Rubio also warned Trump directly aboard Air Force One before a refueling stop in Anchorage where Jensen Huang joined the delegation. He hadn't initially been invited to participate, the Times reported Tuesday . On May 14, Reuters reported that the Commerce Department had cleared around 10 Chinese companies to purchase Nvidia's H200 chips. Some export approvals predated the warning. Nvidia disclosed in February it had received an H200 export license, and Huang told Axios' Ina Fried in March the company had licenses covering Chinese customers. Yes, but : It's unclear how those approvals ultimately translated into sales, as China's government has halted some chip-buying activity in spite of U.S. approvals. Megaspeed purchased billions of dollars' worth of Nvidia chips, according to multiple media outlets. What they're saying : Trump said on Monday that it was possible intelligence officials had shown it to him, but he didn't recall: "Certainly, it didn't make much of an impact on me." The Commerce Department did not comment. Catch up quick : Nvidia has been rocked by the sc
