Ali Ghulam was the undisputed dollar king of Iraq for almost a decade. His three Baghdad banks wired tens of billions of dollars in that time outside the country, ostensibly for car parts, furniture and other imports. He was one of the biggest operators in an ad hoc banking system set up around two decades ago under the U.S.

Donald Trump’s speech on the economy last week was as usual a jumble of good (deregulation and taxes), bad (tariffs), and incoherent (child care). But one new idea he floated is a very good one and deserves more attention: The former President said he’d ask Elon Musk to run a Government Efficiency Commission. Eyes understandably glaze over at the sound of “commission," which is usually intended to duck a hard issue.

Tokyo's Nikkei index shed more than three percent on Monday, after weaker than expected US jobs growth and speculation over a Fed rate cut caused global markets to slump. The benchmark Nikkei 225 was down 3.02 percent, or 1,098.77 points, at 35,292.70 in early trade, while the broader Topix index fell 2.67 percent, or 69.28 points, at 2,528.14.

presidential nominee Donald Trump is narrowly leading Democratic nominee Kamala Harris by just one point in a recent The New York Times/Siena College poll. Trump garners 48 percent of voter support against Harris's 47 percent. The poll, which surveyed 1,695 respondents nationwide, has a margin of error of 2.8 points, making the race a statistical tie. The poll results come on the heels of President Joe Biden’s unexpected decision in July to step aside from the 2024 presidential race, endorsing Kamala Harris to lead the Democratic Party. Despite an ensuing surge in Democratic enthusiasm, the race remains extremely tight, with Harris and Trump frequently swapping narrow leads in various surveys. FiveThirtyEight, a media outlet that ranks pollsters based on accuracy and methodology, has identified The New York Times/Siena College poll as the most reliable in the country. Polling averages suggest a very close race, with Harris often holding a slight national lead.

Jannik Sinner produced a brutal display of baseline power as he became the first Italian man to win the U.S. Open with a 6-3 6-4 7-5 win over American Taylor Fritz in the final on Sunday. Sinner held aloft his arms in celebration after breaking Fritz to clinch the title and cheers rang around Arthur Ashe Stadium, even though home fans had hoped to see Fritz end a 21-year U.S. men's Grand Slam drought. Sinner was under a cloud of controversy at the start of the tournament after revelations that he tested positive twice for an anabolic agent in March but avoided a ban. An independent tribunal accepted his claim that the positive tests were the result of an unintentional contamination.

Trump and his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris are effectively tied heading into the final weeks of the election, according to a national poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College. Trump is up one percentage point, 48%-47%, over Harris, according to the survey released on Sunday, a difference that is well within the survey's three-point margin of error, meaning a win for either candidate in the Nov. 5 election is well within reach. While the Trump campaign endured a relatively rocky stretch in the weeks after Democratic President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July, the most recent polling indicates the core of his support base is not going anywhere.

presidential campaigns should devote more resources to activating the base or persuading the undecided. For congressional candidates who are challenging the majority party, however, prioritizing persuasion is a must. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, I sat down with two House candidates running to unseat freshmen Republicans to ask: What does it take a turn a red district blue? One of them I’ve known for many years through New York politics: John Avlon, the former CNN host running against Representative Nick LaLota on Long Island. The other, Rachel Bohman, is taking on Representative Brad Finstad in a district that’s been thrust into the national spotlight: Tim Walz’s old seat in southern Minnesota.

Washington: Donald Trump's return to the debate stage has media organizations grappling once more with how to cover his frequent distortions of the truth. Several fact-checking operations say they have been preparing for weeks ahead of the Republican's face-off Tuesday against Vice President Kamala Harris, their only debate currently scheduled before the November 5 election. Democrat Harris will also face scrutiny over how she presents her and President Joe Biden's White House record, as well as her own policy agenda.

Australian Open champion Sinner became the first Italian man to make the New York final with a 7-5, 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 win over an ailing Jack Draper of Britain.
