Robert Trump, the president’s younger brother, dead at 71
13 Sept 22:40Key points summarised by AI
President Donald Trump's younger brother, Robert Trump, passed away at 71 after a serious illness, with the President expressing profound sorrow.
Known for his notably 'even keel' and 'easygoing' personality, Robert was often described as 'the nice Trump' within the family business, contrasting sharply with his elder brother's public persona.
He played a significant role in the Trump Organization, managing real estate holdings, and recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family to prevent the publication of his niece Mary's tell-all book.
Despite some past business disagreements, Robert remained a staunch supporter of his brother, publicly stating, 'I support Donald one thousand percent.'
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
19 Oct 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
