China's leader made clear his top priority is the fate of the contested island and its U.S. military support, a striking move given President Donald Trump's effort to mend ties and deliver trade deals.

A confidential assessment, circulating as President Donald Trump begins his highly anticipated trip to Beijing, shows shifts in several key areas of competition.

The cheap weapons have helped the militants rearm despite the loss of a sponsor in Syria and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

As Putin imposes Iran-style controls, citing security concerns, many Russian fear losing their connection to the global internet.

Under pressure from Beijing, the president has indicated an openness to rethinking U.S. support for Taiwan, alarming its backers.

A rising share of those removed are men who had lived in the U.S. for several years. Women are bearing the brunt of having to sustain families in their absence.

The climatic phenomenon is expected to return this year, but a lot has changed since what might have been the worst environmental disaster in human history.

The measures will target Israeli settlers and organizations and Hamas members, the bloc's chief diplomat said.

European partners question viability of a Trump plan to arm Ukraine as weeks of war with Iran deplete U.S. supplies of critical weapons.

Holding no illusions about making lasting deals at this week's summit, China's leader looks to project Beijing as an alternative to U.S. volatility on the world stage.
