Donald Trump is running for U.S. President in 2024

At his Mar-A-Lago Estate, Trump declared his presidential bid in a speech surrounded by supporters, met with echoed chants.

Of course, the 45th President sensationally lost the 2020 election, sparring widespread protests and attacks on the U.S. Capitol building.

But he insists “America was at peace” when he was president.

Drawing on his time in the Oval Office, he says he always keeps his promises.

Trump also spoke about his relations with China, North Korea and Iran.

He believes America is a failing nation, and is suffering a decline under current U-S President Joe Biden.

He said inflation has never been higher and people are hurting under the rule of the Democrats.

He also spoke about the migrant crisis on the southern border and the “blood soaked” streets ruined by drugs.

Trump has been teasing this major announcement for weeks, and we knew it was coming.

But it follows a stack of legal troubles and investigations for the former leader.

U.S. officials were quick to stamp out any support for Trump.

President Joe Biden tweeted “Donald Trump failed America” a short time after his announcement.

It follows Trump taking a swipe at his predecessor at Mar-A-Lago.

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.

The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
