The US has revoked the visa of the son of Mexico's former president.

Trump had frequently criticized the Navy's electromagnetic aircraft launch system in the past, saying it was more expensive and less effective than traditional steam catapults. "They spent billions of dollars more on electric catapults, and they're not good," Trump said at a defense summit in Pennsylvania last month. "They're not nearly as good, too complex."

General Atomics, the manufacturer of the EMALS system, called for a careful review of the decision. Since production was already about 50% complete, a change of course would pose significant risks to cost, schedule and integration, the company said. The Navy had chosen the new system in 2009 because it requires less maintenance and stresses aircraft less during takeoff.

On the first carrier of the new class, the "USS Gerald R. Ford," 36,863 launches had been carried out with the system as of March 2026, according to Pentagon documents.

From Centcom it was said that the sailors and Marines remained resilient and determined after spending more than 260 days at sea. Contrary to reports, no crew member on board the aircraft carrier had died. A sailor who had gone overboard on August 3 was quickly and safely rescued, it was further stated. Centcom spoke of false reporting. Iranian media had reported that violent clashes on board the aircraft carrier had resulted in seven deaths. The mood on board was tense.

An aircraft entered a temporary no-fly zone in the US state of Ohio during a visit by US President Donald Trump. F-16 fighter jets intercepted the civilian aircraft and escorted it safely out of the restricted airspace, the responsible military command (Norad) announced. Flare cartridges were also used to get the pilot's attention.

Trump visited a sports event in Geneva, Ohio, on Tuesday evening (local time). To protect US presidents, temporary no-fly zones are often imposed at their locations. This occasionally leads to incidents, mostly with smaller aircraft.

A US federal judge prevented the US Postal Service from implementing parts of a directive from President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The directive aims to tighten the rules for postal voting before the congressional elections in November. With her nationwide decision in Boston, the judge expanded a previous order from June, which had prevented the implementation of the directive in 23 predominantly Democrat-led states.

Several civil rights groups had called for an extension of the ban. In her reasoning, the judge, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, wrote that the federal executive had no authority to regulate elections. The US Constitution assigns this responsibility to the individual states. "The fact that there are now less than 90 days until the congressional elections on November 3, 2026, underscores the urgent need for a preliminary injunction," the judge wrote.

The directive had required states to submit lists of eligible voters who could receive absentee voting documents. If the states had not complied, the US Postal Service would have refused to deliver the ballots.

The White House and the Department of Justice did not initially respond to requests for comment.

On an order from President Donald Trump, the US government health care system will no longer pay for surgeries and hormone treatments for transgender children and adolescents. Many other medical treatments will also no longer be supported, according to Mehmet Oz, head of the government health systems Medicare and Medicaid. The treatment of psychological problems is exempt from this.

The new rules are set to take effect on October 13. While Medicaid was created as a health program for people with lower incomes, Medicare focuses on seniors and people with disabilities. The billing of services through the programs makes up a significant portion of the revenue of many clinics. There is no comprehensive health insurance system like in Germany in the United States.
