The Justice Department has opened a new investigation into Harvard University over scholarship programs funded by Chinese donors. Federal officials are examining whether certain financial aid programs unlawfully exclude American students based on national origin. The department says the review focuses on whether restrictions tied to foreign donations violate federal civil rights laws. Harvard says it is reviewing the government's inquiry and maintains that it complies with all federal reporting requirements. The university also says it does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity or national origin when awarding financial aid.

President Donald Trump has imposed new 50% tariffs on most Canadian imports, escalating a trade dispute between the United States and one of its largest trading partners. The White House says the tariffs are in response to what President Trump calls unfair Canadian trade practices involving automobiles, alcohol and dairy products, as well as Canada's retaliation against earlier U.S. tariffs. Economists warn the higher import taxes could increase prices for consumers and businesses while adding new strain to the long-standing economic relationship between the United States and Canada.

The United States carried out a tenth consecutive night of airstrikes on targets inside Iran as the conflict over the Strait of Hormuz continues to intensify. The latest escalation comes after Iran attacked a commercial tanker transiting the strategic waterway, forcing the crew to abandon the vessel. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping lanes, carrying roughly one-fifth of all globally traded oil and natural gas. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict are continuing. Iran's interior minister traveled to Pakistan for talks as regional leaders work to prevent the fighting from expanding further.

President Donald Trump is meeting with Lebanon's president at the White House as the two leaders work to advance a lasting agreement aimed at reducing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. The meeting comes as Israel and Lebanon continue rare U.S.-mediated negotiations focused on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon and efforts to disarm Hezbollah. The talks follow a framework agreement reached last month, but key issues remain unresolved. Israeli forces continue to maintain positions in parts of southern Lebanon while negotiators work toward a broader security arrangement. The Trump administration has said it hopes continued diplomacy will help stabilize the region and prevent renewed fighting along the border.

July 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested when he visits the U.S., after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was still considering the move. "Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America," Trump wrote in a social media post that did not refer to the mayor's comments. The Hague-based International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in 2024 for alleged war crimes during the Gaza war. Israel rejects the court's jurisdiction and denies committing war crimes. Trump did not mention Mamdani in his Truth Social post, but credited Israel with helping in the Iran war. The New York City mayor said in an interview broadcast on Saturday that the city's legal department is actively considering what the law might allow. "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court," Mamdani told a New York Times video podcast called "The Interview." ISRAEL SAYS ICC ARREST WARRANT IS 'BOGUS' Netanyahu traditionally travels to New York every September for the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly. Israel responded to Mamdani's comments on Sunday in an X post that called the ICC a kangaroo court and the arrest warrant against Netanyahu bogus. "Mamdani appears interested in diverting public attention from his follies and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East," it said. The ICC was established in 2002 and has international jurisdiction to prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The United States and Israel are not members of the court. Mamdani, who took office in January, said during his mayoral campaign that he would have police arrest Netanyahu if he set foot in New York City. Last November, shortly after Mamdani's election victory, the mayor-elect and Trump held an unexpectedly friendly meeting in the White House even though they had previously traded insults.

NEW YORK, July 20 (Reuters) - Authorities said a man protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement was taken into custody on Monday after he ignited fireworks and a fire on the steps of the building that houses the agency's office in lower Manhattan. The Department of Homeland Security said on X that the fireworks grazed a bystander, and the man "poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs of the entrance of the building and set it on fire." It said a Federal Protective Service officer who detained the man, described by DHS as "an anti-ICE rioter," sustained minor injuries. The man was not identified. The building at 26 Federal Plaza also houses FBI offices. Local television ABC7 video showed a man in a helmet pouring liquid from a red bucket on the steps and setting it ablaze. As the flames rose, he attempted to flee but was intercepted by three uniformed men who led him away as smoke billowed. DHS said officers recovered the man's bag, which contained two pellet guns and "a manifesto." A Reuters photographer saw a sign saying "ICE off our streets" in a cart brought by the suspect. FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force was investigating the incident. "What occurred outside 26 Federal Plaza this morning was deeply disturbing. I’m relieved no one was seriously injured and that a suspect is in custody," New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters on Monday.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States has conducted a new round of airstrikes targeting Iran after announcing the death of another American service member. Iran has responded Monday by launching an attack targeting Bahrain, the home of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Even as the U.S. and Iran inch closer to all-out war, Iran’s interior minister traveled to Pakistan, a key mediator in the conflict, for talks. With shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz largely stalled, oil prices have been rising in recent weeks. The British military says a second ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, this one off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
