President Trump and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler engaged in a heated public exchange, each blaming the other for escalating violence following a fatal shooting in Portland.
A right-wing supporter was shot and killed after a caravan of Trump supporters clashed with counter-protesters, intensifying the city's ongoing unrest.
Trump criticized Wheeler as a "fool" and lauded his supporters, while Wheeler implored the President for a collaborative approach and urged people to avoid seeking retribution in Portland.
The incident further highlighted Portland as a flashpoint for national protests and a key theme in Trump's "law-and-order" re-election campaign.

Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama

Yesterday 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
