President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed several key issues during their meeting at his golf club in Turnberry in Scotland, including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a shortened deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, and the ongoing fallout surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump emphasized the urgency of addressing starvation in Gaza, set a new 10 to 12-day deadline for Russia to reach a ceasefire, and denied any involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Starmer was accompanied by his wife, Victoria Starmer, as he arrived for the talks. Trump and Starmer shook hands and chatted outside before taking questions from reporters. Their conversation couldn’t be heard over the sound of bagpipes that serenaded the prime minister on his arrival.

 

 
Trump On Gaza-Israel War

Speaking to reporters, the U.S. President acknowledged the "terrible" situation in Gaza and stated that the U.S. would set up food centers to address the crisis, emphasizing the need to "get the kids fed." He criticized Israel's claims that there was "no starvation in Gaza," suggesting that the situation was real and required immediate action.

Trump told reporters after greeting Starmer in Turnberry, that the two leaders would discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and said he believed a ceasefire was still possible.

"The whole place is a mess," Trump said when asked if Israel has done enough to limit civilian deaths. "They have to get food and safety right now," he added.

Trump said that there was “real starvation” in Gaza, breaking with Israel as the U.S. ally faces intense pressure to lift restrictions on aid with hunger spreading in the besieged enclave.

His comments came amid mounting global outrage over rising deaths from malnutrition under Israel’s military offensive on the territory.

The Israel Defense Forces began limited pauses in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza on Sunday for 10 hours a day. But aid groups have warned the trickle of aid entering the enclave is not enough to stave off famine.

Trump emphasized the importance of getting food to children in Gaza. "We have to help on a humanitarian basis before we do anything, we have to get the kids fed," Trump said. He said the U.S. would help set up food centers and supply funds.

The President said that he had seen images of Palestinians on TV and that “those children look very hungry.” He later added that the scenes were “real starvation” and that “you can’t fake that.”

Trump also said Hamas won't release the remaining living hostages and suggested a different approach toward the group might be needed, without elaborating.

"I always said, when you get down to the final 20 they won't release them, because that's like their shield," Trump said. "And so something's going to have to be done."

Some of Trump's views were echoed by Vice President JD Vance, who said in response to a question at an event in Canton, Ohio Monday, that the Trump administration was “very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza” and wanted to make sure starving children got food.

"We are very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza," Vance said. "We see a lot of starving children. We want to make sure they get food."

He also said that they needed to ensure that Hamas "gets the hell out of Gaza." Vance recalled seeing images of "really, really heartbreaking cases" and kids "starving to death."

The partial easing of restrictions in Gaza under the new round of “tactical pauses” has done little to quell fears about the spiraling hunger crisis.

“This is progress, but vast amounts of aid are needed to stave off famine and a catastrophic health crisis,” United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher warned in a statement.

 

 
Trump On New Deadline For Russia To Agree To Ceasefire With Ukraine

During the press conference in Scotland, Trump announced he's considering a new deadline of "about 10 or 12 days" for Russia to end its war in Ukraine, expressing disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He warned of potential secondary sanctions on countries that continue to trade with Russia if a ceasefire is not reached.

Trump told reporters that he might move ahead with severe tariffs and secondary sanctions on Russia earlier than a 50-day deadline he imposed in mid-July for reaching a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine.

“I’m going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer, what’s going to happen,” Trump said.

"I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump said. "There's no reason we’re waiting," he added.

 

 
Trump On Epstein

Responding to questions about late child sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said he threw him out of his Mar-a-Lago club and cut ties with him years ago because “he stole people who worked for me.”

Trump said Epstein poached at least one more employee from him after he was warned not to do it again.

“That’s such old history, very easy to explain, but I don’t want to waste your time by explaining it,” Trump said after a reporter asked him about what led to the rift between the two men and Epstein’s exile from Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, club.

“But for years, I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn’t talk because he did something that was inappropriate,” the president said.

“He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again,” Trump said.

Epstein then became “persona non grata,” Trump said.

“I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth,” he said.

Trump emphasized he never visited Epstein's infamous island and saying he had "never gone to the island" and "turned it down in one of my very good moments."

The President also said that no one had approached him about pardoning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice to Epstein.

"I'm allowed to give her a pardon, but ... nobody's approached me with it. Nobody's asked me about it," Trump told reporters when asked about the issue. The president added that it would "inappropriate" to talk about the matter.

Trump also said that the Epstein files are a "hoax" that he said has been "built up way beyond proportion."

"Those files were run by the worst scum on Earth," Trump said in answer to a reporter's question.

"They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the auto-pen," Trump said, referring to former FBI director James Comey, whom he fired during his first term, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, and former President Joe Biden.

"Those files were run for four years by those people," Trump continued. "If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax. They ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files, if they had something, they would have released it. Now they can easily put something in the files that’s a phony," he said.

Responding to a question about recent Wall Street Journal report that said Trump drew a photo of a naked woman in a birthday book for Epstein, Trump said, "I don't do drawings. I'm not a drawing person. I don't do drawings. Sometimes people say, 'Would you draw a building?' And I'll draw four lines and a little roof, you know, for charity stuff, but I'm not a drawing person. I don't do drawings of women — that I can tell you."

Speaking to reporters back in Ohio, about Epstein, Vance said that Trump wants "full transparency" in into Jeffrey Epstein and he criticized past administrations for their handling of the case.

"You ought to go after the administrations that went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this case for 20 years and the administrations that failed to show full transparency," he said. "Donald J Trump, I’m telling you, he’s got nothing to hide, his administration has got nothing to hide, and that’s why he’s been an advocate for full transparency in this case."

 

 
Trump Slams London Mayor Sadiq Khan

During his remarks to reporters in Scotland, Monday, Trump also slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him a "nasty person" and stating that he has "done a terrible job."

PM Starmer, who was seated beside Trump, intervened to defend Khan, saying, "He's a friend of mine, actually." Trump, however, continued to express his disapproval of Khan, reiterating his view that the mayor has performed poorly, but he also confirmed that he would visit London during his upcoming state visit to the UK in September.

Trump and Khan have had a long-standing feud, with Trump previously calling Khan a "stone cold loser" and "very dumb" Khan has also criticized Trump's policies, including his travel ban on people from certain Muslim countries.

After their meeting in Turnberry, Starmer flew with Trump aboard Marine One to outside Aberdeen, where the Trump Organization has a second golf course. The President is on a 4-day trip to Scotland, where he announced a trade deal with European Union President Ursula Von Der Leyen.

Trump Threatens Tariffs, After EU Hit Google With $3.5B Antitrust Violations

The European Union has fined Google $3.46 billion for abusing its dominant position in the digital advertising market, accusing the company of creating inherent conflicts of interest by controlling both the buy and sell sides of online advertising. In response, US President Donald Trump has threatened to initiate a Section 301 trade investigation, which could lead to retaliatory tariffs, calling the fine "unfair" and "discriminatory" against American companies.

The European Commission announced the $3.46 billion fine on Friday, stating that Google's control of both the buy and sell sides of the online advertising market created "inherent conflicts of interest." The investigation, which began in 2021, found that Google favored its own advertising services, violating EU competition laws Regulators have ordered Google to end its "self-preferencing practices" and resolve these conflicts of interest, with the company having 60 days to propose a remedy.

The Commission noted that structural remedies, such as a forced divestiture of parts of its adtech business, remain a possibility if Google's proposals are inadequate.

President Trump reacted swiftly on Truth Social, calling the fine "unfair" and "discriminatory" towards US companies. He claimed the $3.5 billion penalty was taking money that would otherwise go to "American Investments and Jobs" and stated, "Very unfair, and the American Taxpayer will not stand for it!" Trump explicitly threatened to start a Section 301 proceeding to "nullify the unfair penalties being charged to these Taxpaying American Companies."

A Section 301 investigation paves the way for Washington to impose import taxes under a fortified legal basis through the Commerce Department, and the president has a lot of latitude to issue tariffs over unfair trade practices under the provision. Section 301 is the same trade tool Trump used to justify tariffs on China starting in 2018.

Trump also referenced a previous $17 billion fine against Apple, suggesting it should be reversed He claimed the total fines against Google from the EU now amount to $16.5 billion, including the latest penalty.

The fine marks the fourth antitrust penalty for Google from the EU The investigation focused on Google's dominance in online display advertising, where personalized banners and text ads appear on websites. The EU has previously warned that past penalties and requirements have not effectively curbed anti-competitive practices.

Google has rejected the decision, calling it "wrong" and stating it would appeal, arguing that the fine is unjustified and that the required changes would harm European businesses.

The company maintains that providing services for both ad buyers and sellers is not inherently anticompetitive and that there are more alternatives available than ever before.

The timing of Trump's threat is notable, as it comes just a day after he hosted Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, co-founder Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders at a White House dinner to discuss artififical intelligence implications with First Lady Melania Trump. This confrontation adds tension to a recently agreed-upon US-EU trade deal aimed at reducing US tariffs on EU imports.

“The European Union must stop this practice against American Companies, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Trump Rebrands US Dept. Of Defense To Dept. Of War, Restoring Its Pre-1947 Name

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday, formally changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a move he framed as a restoration of American military strength and a rejection of what he termed "woke" policies within the Pentagon.

The rebranding, which requires congressional approval for permanence, was announced in a ceremony in the Oval Office, where Trump, flanked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, stated the change was necessary because the U.S. "never fought to win" under the previous name, attributing past military stalemates to political correctness.

Hegseth declared the change was about "restoring the warrior ethos" and fighting "to win, not to lose," while Caine's remarks were not detailed in the provided sources.

"Really it has to do with winning. We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey and we just fight forever," Trump said, flanked by Hegseth and Gen. Caine. "We had it, and we won World War I, we won World War II, we won everything before, and as I said, we won everything in between," Trump added. "And we were very strong. But we never fought to win. We just didn’t fight to win. We would have won every one of those wars quickly, but they went a route that I think was probably politically correct, but not correct for our nation. So I think the Department of War sends a signal." He also stated, "We won the first world war, second world war- everything before that and in between and then we decided to go woke and changed the name to 'Department of Defense', so we're going 'Department of War'"

Hegseth on his part said, "This name changing is not just about renaming, it is about restoring. Words matter... Restoring the warrior ethos, restoring victory and clarity, restoring intentionality... The War Department is going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts. It's going to fight to win, not to lose. We are going to go on offence, not just defence; maximum lethality, not tepid legality; violent effect, not politically correct. We are going to raise up warriors, not just defenders"  He also stated, "We won World War I and World War II not with the Department of Defence but with the War Department"

The Department of War was established by President George Washington in 1789 and served as the primary agency for the U.S. Army until 1947. In that year, President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act, which merged the Department of the Army (formerly the Department of War), the Department of the Navy, and the newly created Department of the Air Force into the National Military Establishment. This entity was renamed the Department of Defense in August 1949.

The recent rebranding is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Hegseth to reverse policies deemed "woke" or politically correct, including reversing the renaming of military bases from Confederate names and renaming a Navy ship previously named after gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

The White House has already updated its social media and the Pentagon's website to reflect the new name, with the domain changing to "war.gov." The move has been met with enthusiasm from some on the right, but skepticism and scorn from others.

500th Falcon Landing: SpaceX Launches Starlink 10-57 Mission

SpaceX successfully launched the Starlink 10-57 mission on Friday, Sept. 5, deploying 28 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 1232 UTC. The Falcon 9 first stage booster(B1069) landed about 8.5 minutes after liftoff on the 'Just Read the Instructions' drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 8.5 minutes after liftoff, completing its 27th flight, and marking the 500th successful recovery of Falcon, an orbital-class rocket, a significant reusability milestone for SpaceX.

"Falcon 9 touchdown on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, completing the 500th launch and landing of an orbital class rocket," SpaceX wrote on X.

B1069 had previously flown on missions including CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, and 22 prior Starlink missions. This landing was the 135th recovery for the "Just Read the Instructions" drone ship.

The Falcon 9 upper stage deployed the 28 satellites into a north-easterly trajectory in low Earth orbit(LEO), about one hour and four minutes after launch.

Starlink 10-57 was the 111th Falcon 9 mission for SpaceX in 2025 out of a total of 529 since 2010. The company's broadband megaconstellation now numbers more than 8,370 active satellites.
