✈️ 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US Treasury Secretary Bessent says all Iranian airlines will be "shut down around the world" on September 23, with any airport or company that provides them fuel, landing services or ticket sales to be "knocked out of the dollar system."

"If they land, you cannot provide them with fuel, you cannot provide them with landing services, you cannot sell them tickets or you will be knocked out of the dollar system," Bessent says.

Trump told Fox News yesterday his options on Iran were "wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal."

The order lands hardest on US partners, as Iranian carriers fly mainly to Dubai, Istanbul, Doha and Iraq.

— 🇺🇸 BREAKING: ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC have all collectively decided to suspend their pooled coverage of President Trump, including his UNGA address today

The move comes in response to Trump barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. The three outlets have announced they intend to sue the President.

The White House Pool is a small group of five news outlets that usually follow the President wherever he goes and provides coverage of Presidential events for other news outlets throughout the world. It currently consists of CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC.

Later today at the UN General Assembly, CNN was scheduled to provide the official coverage—but the entire White House press pool is boycotting the event.

🇺🇸 Jake Paul on X: America is not a spectator sport

Apparently Logan and I going to Washington meeting with the Vice President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and other leaders of this country really pisses some people off

Good.

Because I’d rather be in the room asking questions, learning, challenging ideas, building relationships, and figuring out how I can help than sitting behind a screen telling everyone else what they should be doing

Twitter fingers have never built a country

Think about how insane the American Dream really is

Two brothers with a camera and a crazy amount of ambition can build businesses, compete on the biggest stages in the world, employ hundreds of people, invest in the future of this country and one day walk into Washington and sit across from the people helping lead it

That should inspire people not offend them

Washington doesn’t belong to commentators.
It doesn’t belong to celebrities.
It doesn’t belong to politicians.

It belongs to the American people

And whether people like me or hate me I’m going to keep showing up

Keep learning.
Keep building.
Keep investing in American companies.
Keep creating jobs.
Keep supporting American innovation.
Keep meeting the people doing the hard work.
Keep sticking my neck out.
And keep trying to leave this country stronger than I found it.

The next generation needs to believe that America is still a place where you can dream impossibly big, work your ass off, get knocked down, reinvent yourself, and eventually find yourself in rooms you never thought you’d enter

This country gave me opportunities beyond anything I could have imagined

I intend to give something back

You can spend your life commentating from the cheap seats or you can get on the field

I know where I’ll be

God bless the United States of America

🇵🇱 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Poland aims to host 15,000 US soldiers on its territory: minister

Plan includes about 10,000 rotational troops and 3,500 to 5,000 permanently stationed.

Intended force will be built up in stages, with a target completion by 2039.

Poland currently hosts 6,500 to 7,000 US troops, down after May withdrawals; it cites Russian threats and spends almost 5% of GDP on defence.
