By Julia Edwards Ainsley | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON The U.S. government has granted waivers to let 872 refugees into the country this week, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order on Friday temporarily banning entry of refugees from any country, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document seen by Reuters.

Even by Trumpean standards, it verged on an epic surprise. During his daily briefing cum lecture Monday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer sharply asserted, “They should either get with the program or they should go.” And he heralded President Trump’s new “One In, Two Out” mantra. But, stunningly, he was not referring to the press! One might have assumed that, given Sunday comments by Kellyanne Conway, […]

By John Walcott and Julia Edwards Ainsley | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON When Donald Trump’s administration put together its controversial executive order on immigration, it was Steve Bannon – the populist firebrand fast emerging as the president’s right-hand man – pushing a hard line.

US stocks on Monday faced the heaviest sell-off since before the presidential election in the biggest reversal yet of the so-called Trump trade that has carried equities to record peaks.

By Lisa Lambert | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON House Republicans were set on Monday to begin the process of killing five Obama-era rules on corruption, the environment, labour and guns under the first real test of a law intended to keep regulation in check.
