Iran pushes back against Trump ahead of Geneva talks in face of major US military deployment

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran pushed back Wednesday against U.S. President Donald Trump's pressure tactics ahead of critical talks in Geneva over Tehran's nuclear program, alternating between calling his remarks “big lies” to saying negotiations may yield an agreement through “honorable diplomacy.”

Residents want local governments to end contracts that let ICE train on their gun ranges

Takeaways from Trump's address: Sales mode on economy, heavy on patriotism, dark turn on Democrats

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump started in sales mode, using his State of the Union address to deliver an upbeat vision of the U.S. economy.
