The number of encounters since Title 42 became Title 8 have been revealed

The United States has ushered in a new border protection policy over the past few days, and figures over just how many people have crossed over from Mexico, have started to be revealed.

There were fears that thousands of people would start to stream across the border into the United States, but this has not occurred, according to Homeland Security’s Alejandro Mayorkas.

“Over the past two days, the United States Border Patrol has experienced a 50 percent drop in the number of encounters versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before Title 42 ended at midnight on Thursday.”

However, some Congresspeople believed the matter would be a failure for President Joe Biden – that chaos would break out ensue.

But it hasn’t been that way.

“[Republican Senators] were tragically wrong. […] They were all hoping and praying that the lifting of Title 42 was going to be a monumental failure for President Biden. Ultimately, it doesn’t seem that it turned out that way for them,” Congressman Vicente Gonzalez said.

Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may reshape global markets and trigger new economic dynamics.

Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic breakthrough — a ceasefire and potential peace deal between Israel and Hamas — could have ripple effects far beyond the Middle East. The former U.S. president is eyeing economic reconstruction opportunities in the region, with energy, infrastructure, and trade set to benefit if stability holds.

Experts say the deal could also influence global oil prices, energy markets, and investment flows, as renewed peace opens the door to new development projects. But it could also trigger volatility if negotiations falter or regional rivalries reignite.

As Trump prepares for further talks with China on trade and critical minerals, economists are watching closely. Could this mark the beginning of a new era of economic détente — or the start of another global power struggle centred around strategic resources?

Australia seeks a $1.2 billion minerals deal with the U.S. to reduce reliance on China ahead of Albanese-Trump talks.

Australia is racing to secure a landmark critical minerals deal with the United States ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump. The agreement, worth an estimated $1.2 billion, aims to strengthen supply chains and reduce both nations’ reliance on China’s mineral dominance.

The deal would see Australia establish a strategic reserve of rare earths, backed by U.S. investment and government funding. Australian miners are being consulted on potential price floors and financing models that could redefine the future of the country’s resources sector.

However, questions remain over the economic risks. Analysts warn that introducing price controls and heavy government intervention could have unintended consequences, especially if China retaliates with tariffs or production cuts. The deal could reshape global competition for critical minerals essential to defence, energy, and technology industries.
