Trump has run out of cards to play in the midterm elections. He can't talk about the economy, because prices continue to rise faster than wages and most Americans are getting poorer. His war in Iran has been a debacle, his tariffs are an utter failure, and he hasn't settled the war in Ukraine on "day one". Trump is resorting to the oldest of right-wing tropes: accusing Democrats of being communists. Republicans have been playing this card for nearly a century.
Trump orders an immediate halt to all trade with NATO ally Spain, escalating tensions over defence spending and the Iran war. Trump also irked another NATO ally Denmark by reiterating that his country should control Greenland.

The court ruled that Le Pen must serve a three-year jail term, but two of those years were suspended and it ordered her to serve one year at home with an electronic monitoring tag. She is also effectively barred from running for office to just 15 months - technically a 45-month ban with 30 months suspended - and fined €100,000 ($114,000). Her further appeal to the Cour de Cassation would put her sentence on hold.
Mitch McConnell was admitted to hospital on June 14 and has been there for weeks. His office refused to say what he was being treated for, leading to a backlash from Donald Trump's support base. On Tuesday, John Thune, the successor as Republican leader in the Senate, said he had a "lengthy and substantive conversation" with Mitch McConnell about a variety of topics including national security. John Barrasso, the Republican whip, also talked to him by phone on Tuesday afternoon. Emergency responders were called to McConnell's Washington, D.C., residence for an “unconscious” person at his home last month. EMS dispatch audio suggests it was a cardiac arrest.
