Donald Trump's running mate earned good reviews for a smooth debate performance, with one CNN poll showing six per cent more respondents who watched Tuesday's event declaring Mike Pence the winner.

If losing $916 million and possibly avoiding federal income taxes for nearly two decades makes Donald Trump a brilliant businessman, we shudder to think what would make him a bad one.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told his U.S. ally Barack Obama "you can go to hell" in a speech Tuesday that was his latest tirade against the U.S. over its criticism of his deadly anti-drug campaign.

Five years ago, Donald Trump made his debut into presidential politics by insinuating that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

US president Barack Obama and actor Leonardo DiCaprio teamed up on the White House South Lawn to sound a call for urgent action to combat climate change.

In an ideal world, the tax code would be simple enough to put accountants and tax-preparation firms out of business.
