A U.S. House committee has approved a motion to release materials on Donald Trump’s taxes

Former U.S. President Donald Trump will have his tax filings released in the coming days, after years of secrecy.

A U.S. House of Representatives committee voted to release the partially redacted documents.

Mr Trump has fought the release of his tax information for years.

U.S. President have typically released their tax information for several decades. However, Mr Trump vowed to keep his a secret as he made his presidential bid, which ultimately led to his rise as the U.S. president in 2016.

Mr Trump reported heavy business losses to offset millions of dollars in income.

Earlier this month, the Trump Organisation was found guilty of a 15-year criminal scheme to defraud tax authorities.

While Mr Trump is not personally liable, his company faces $1.6 million in fines. He believes the case is politically motivated and will appeal the ruling.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.

Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.
