The Iowa State fair has been an essential stop on the road to the White House for candidates of both parties for decades. But can any candidate make gains against Trump?

The unassuming state of Iowa has been a hot spot on the American political map ever since the 70s when the Democratic Party made the state the first in the country to hold its primary elections.

The Republicans soon followed suit and the state has enjoyed the political spotlight ever since.

With the GOP debate less than two weeks away, all the candidates headed to the Iowa State fair over the weekend to make a good impression on the state.

While most candidates including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis might have hoped to use the event to break through to voters, Donald Trump once again showed why he is the man to beat in the Republican Primary.

India and the EU finalize a major trade deal to cut tariffs, boost exports, and enhance migration opportunities.

India and the European Union have finalised a major trade agreement after nearly two decades of negotiations, marking one of the most significant global trade breakthroughs in recent years.

The deal will see Indian tariffs on 30 per cent of EU goods removed immediately, with duties on more than 96 per cent of traded products either eliminated or reduced over time. This includes sharp tariff cuts on European cars and alcoholic beverages.

A US aircraft carrier group has arrived in the Middle East as tensions rise over a potential strike against Iran. President Donald Trump says he hopes military action will not be necessary, but has deployed a strike group to the region. The Iranian currency has plunged to a record low, trading at 1.5 million against the dollar.

Reports indicate over 6,100 confirmed deaths from the crackdown on protests in Iran, with thousands more fatalities under investigation. The unrest has been fuelled by economic hardship, sparking widespread demonstrations against authorities.
