New York Gov. Kathy Hochul endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor
|
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday urged New Yorkers to vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City, giving the Democratic nominee one of his most significant endorsements to date in the November contest to lead the nation's biggest city. Read more. |

Mamdani's stunning success has exposed divisions within the Democratic party. Despite leading in the polls, Mamdani has not been endorsed by Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leaders in the U.S. Senate and House.
In recent weeks, the other candidates in the race including former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa have intensified their criticism of Mamdani over his platform and past statements ahead of the city's November general election.

Trump calls on NATO countries to stop buying Russian oil and threatens 50% to 100% tariffs on China
|
President Donald Trump said Saturday he believes the Russia-Ukraine war would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and placed tariffs on China of 50% to 100% for its purchases of Russian petroleum. Read more. |

Trump's post arrived after the Wednesday flight of multiple Russian drones into Poland, which was seen as an escalatory move by Russia for entering the airspace of a NATO ally. Poland shot down the drones, yet Trump minimized the severity of the incursion and Russia's motives by saying it "could have been a mistake." U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday the drone incursion was "unacceptable and unfortunate and dangerous" as he judged NATO's response so far to be appropriate. Rubio also said it was unclear if Russia intentionally sent the drones to Poland.
NATO member Turkey has been the third largest buyer of Russian oil since 2023, after China and India, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. Other members of the 32-state alliance that have purchased Russian oil include Hungary and Slovakia.
