Netanyahu's war alliance with Trump faces test as Iran crisis widens |

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered on a career-long ambition to topple Iran's leadership, but his lockstep alignment with Trump faces a test as their joint military campaign threatens to drag on, with its goals potentially shifting in the coming weeks. At the outset of the bombing campaign, both Trump and Netanyahu said regime change was the goal. But in remarks at the White House on Monday, two days after Israeli air strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and much of his leadership, Trump did not mention overthrowing Iran's government as his top priority. |

A US mining company backed by billionaires Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates is in a tangle with Belgium's AfricaMuseum over who should digitize antique maps of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo in the museum's archive. Belgium's King Leopold II seized Congo in 1885 for his personal enrichment - the territory was plundered and the population subjected to extreme brutality. Several US companies are expanding in Congo as Washington deepens a strategic partnership with Kinshasa to secure supplies and reduce reliance on China for materials needed for batteries, electronics and defence. |
