WASHINGTON, June 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is bringing his affinity for mixed martial arts to the White House, staging a night of cage fighting on the South Lawn on June 14 — his 80th birthday — as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. The seven-bout Ultimate Fighting Championship event, dubbed "UFC Freedom 250," will blend sport with political spectacle, highlighting Trump's long-standing ties to a league whose leaders and many of its fans have backed him for more than a decade. WHY UFC? Trump's alliance with UFC dates to the early 2000s, when he agreed to host events at his since-bankrupt Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, as other venues spurned the sport. Trump "gave us our start when nobody would talk to us,” UFC CEO Dana White told Fox News in 2018. White became a close ally, using the sport's popularity — particularly with younger male fans — to support Trump's campaigns dating back to his first run in 2016. In 2019, Trump became the first sitting president to attend a UFC match. His appearances have become part of the spectacle, often featuring a highly choreographed walk-in and ringside seats. SOUTH LAWN CAGE MATCH Now Trump is bringing the fighting to the White House. The South Lawn has been outfitted with an octagon-shaped cage and hulking metal arena structure called "the Claw" by White. Trump suggested holding such an event while ringside with White at a fight days after his 2024 election win, Time magazine reported. The seven bouts on June 14 will feature eight Americans and six others from four countries, all men. The main event will feature lightweight champion Ilia Topuria of Georgia defending his title belt against American challenger Justin Gaethje. The pair will enter the arena from the Oval Office, White told the magazine. Weigh-ins will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Two Washington-area residents filed a lawsuit on June 6 asking a U.S. judge in Washington to halt the event, claiming it violates National Park Service rules barring special events such as sports at such monuments, and that construction of the large arena structure requires congressional authorization. The White House called the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit.” THE CROWD Trump has touted the fights as the "hardest ticket" to come by of his presidency. Trump, his family and senior government officials will sit around the ring, and approximately 4,000 seats are being installed on the lawn for invited guests. The White House deferred questions about the guest list to UFC, which did not immediately respond. A fourth of the tickets are reserved for active military members. Troops must meet the military's physical standards and wear their short-sleeve dress uniforms to attend, the Washington Post reported. White has invited numerous celebrities, including Adam Sandler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Tom Brady, according to Time. The UFC expects about 85,000 fans to gather outside the White House perimeter to watch on big screens. THE BILL AND THE BUSINESS The White House has said the UFC is paying for the event. UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings expects to spend $60 million on production and fighter payouts, said company president Mark Shapiro, according to Sports Business Journal. Shapiro and White have said the cost is worth the publicity. Sponsors include Crypto.com, a cryptocurrency company that in August 2025 announced a strategic partnership with Trump Media, the company that runs the president's social media platform, Truth Social. The event will be broadcast by Paramount media company, which began a $7.7 billion deal with UFC in February. Paramount's mega-deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion is undergoing regulatory review by Trump's administration. In May, Trump's financial disclosure form of thousands of recent stock trades showed a March 25 purchase between $15,001 and $50,000 in TKO Group Holdings while Trump promoted the White House event. The White House referred questions about the trades to the Trump Organization, the president's company. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said Trump’s investment holdings are managed by independent third-party financial institutions. "Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization has any role in selecting, directing, approving, influencing or soliciting specific investments," the spokesperson said in a statement.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities were responding on Thursday to what appeared to be a large tracing of "8647" into the grounds of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. A Reuters photographer atop the Washington Monument saw the apparent tracing in the grass near the World War Two Memorial shortly before officials arrived. It shows the numbers eight, six and seven, but a four is not clearly defined. U.S. Park Police and members of the National Guard were responding to the scene. The term "8647" has been adopted by opponents of President Donald Trump as a protest against his administration. Trump allies and the U.S. Department of Justice have said it could be interpreted as a call to violence. It references the slang term "86," originating in the restaurant industry meaning to expel or "get rid" of something, and Trump as the 47th U.S. president. It was unclear how the markings in the grass were made. In those areas the grass is brown, in contrast to the surrounding green grass.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - A hazardous materials incident put the Pentagon on lockdown on Thursday as fire officials investigated the air quality issue, defense and fire officials said. "The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in an email. "The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area. Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants."The building was under lockdown, with people evacuated from several floors, CNN reported, citing unidentified sources. Floors two through five in corridors four through seven have been locked down, CNN said, citing two sources. Another source reported seeing emergency responders were wearing full gas masks and chemical protection suits, CNN said. A message sent by the Pentagon’s security team said additional testing was needed to determine the source of the problem, according to CNN. The five-sided Pentagon building, hit during the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks is one of the world's largest office buildings.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war. Trump had threatened major strikes on Iran and to seize control of its oil and gas industries as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to full-scale war. The threats to seize Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal came after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day. Trump told Fox News that while he would prefer to take over Kharg Island, he's not sure that “America has the stomach for it.” Iran’s parliamentary speaker warned on social media that an “endless quagmire” could result.

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas teenager who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old athlete from a rival track team has been found guilty of murder. Jurors on Tuesday convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony and sentenced him to 35 years in prison in the death of Austin Metcalf. The killing last year stunned the booming Dallas suburb of Frisco. Both teens attended different schools there. Prosecutors accused Anthony of egging on a confrontation after being asked to leave the tent of Metcalf's team. Anthony’s attorney claimed the stabbing was self-defense. The case drew wide attention, in part because of social media posts about race. Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white. But prosecutors and defense attorneys said the case had nothing to do with race.

WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - Maine Democrats shook off any misgivings they might have had about Graham Platner and overwhelmingly picked him to face Republican Senator Susan Collins in November. Meanwhile, in the South Carolina primary for governor, President Donald Trump successfully toppled U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, who tangled with party leaders and the president. Here are key takeaways from Tuesday's primaries: DEMOCRATS SHED WORRIES ABOUT PLATNER Democrats have high hopes of capturing a U.S. Senate seat from Republicans in Maine, where five-term Senator Susan Collins is running for reelection at a time when voters are soured by high consumer prices and the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Platner, a former combat Marine, built momentum on a pitch as a man of the people that resonated with moderates and progressives, drew substantial campaign funding and led Democratic Governor Janet Mills to suspend her primary bid. Now, the married Platner is fighting off reports he sent sexually explicit texts to multiple women last year as well as a Nazi-associated tattoo he had covered up last year. Platner, 41, has apologized for his past behavior and said he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression following combat duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I've made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret, that I live with, that I continue to learn from. I'm still far from perfect, but every day I wake up and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before," Platner told supporters in Blue Hill, Maine. On election night Maine Democrats appeared to be throwing off any misgivings they might have had about Platner, who was winning the race 72%-20% over Mills with 86% of the vote counted. Mills suspended her campaign in May but remained on the ballot. "In November, Maine voters will elect Graham Platner, and we will win a Senate majority," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. DEMOCRATS' NEVADA GAMBLE Marty O'Donnell sailed through the Republican primary election in Nevada's third congressional district with the help of Trump's endorsement. He will face incumbent Democratic Representative Susie Lee, who vanquished three primary opponents. The race in this Las Vegas-area district is among a handful across the country expected to be decisive in determining the balance of power in Congress, with Republicans currently holding a narrow House majority. Of note: Trump narrowly won this district in the 2024 presidential election. O'Donnell, a video game composer who loaned his campaign $3 million, handily defeated three Republican primary opponents. Lee won re-election in 2024 by nearly 3 percentage points -- an accomplishment in the face of Trump's victory that year. This race is likely to draw national attention and streams of campaign contributions to both campaigns. TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENTS MATTERED IN SOUTH CAROLINA Already in this year's primary elections, Trump-backed candidates have defeated Republican Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas as well as Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. This time, Trump appears to have ended the political career of Mace, who failed to make the top two vote-getters and will not advance to a June 23 runoff. Trump’s late endorsement of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette pushed her atop a crowded primary field. Evette, who ran on an “America First” platform, will face second-place finisher Attorney General Alan Wilson. The Republican primary winner is expected to also win the November general election as it has been nearly three decades since a Democrat has been elected governor in this Republican-leaning state. Trump also endorsed four-term Senator Lindsey Graham, who faced several primary challengers including from hard-right Greenville-area businessman Mark Lynch, whom Trump called a "lunatic." Graham will avoid a runoff, as he captured nearly 58% of the vote with 90% of votes counted. GOLDEN MOMENT FOR REPUBLICANS? Representative Jared Golden, one of the most moderate Democrats in the U.S. Congress, is retiring and Republicans can taste victory in the race for his replacement. Former Republican Governor Paul LePage ran unopposed in his primary for the seat in a district Trump won in 2024, and he has Trump's "complete and total endorsement." With 42% of the vote counted, three Democrats - Jordan Wood, Joseph Baldacci and Matthew Dunlap - remained locked in a three-way battle to take on LePage. This is another race that could help define whether Republicans hold onto their narrow U.S. House majority.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio were searching for a 20-year-old man in connection with a shooting between two rival groups that wounded 12 people at a crowded neighborhood festival, while authorities asked for help identifying a person they called a “second shooter.” Ka Nye Taylor is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault, the Toledo Police Department said Wednesday, four days after the shooting in a park filled with event tents, a music stage and food trucks. Police on Wednesday released a photo of a second male suspect dressed in all black at the festival. Phone numbers for Taylor or his family members were not immediately available or found in online directories. The shooting erupted after someone was tackled and assaulted at the festival, leading one person to open fire and a second to respond with more gunshots, Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said at a news conference Tuesday. Three of the 12 people shot were involved in the altercation, authorities said, while the rest were bystanders. The wounded ranged in age from teenagers to one person in their 60s. All but three had been released from the hospital by Tuesday. The police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly helped the victims. “We saw strangers who were shocked and frightened by the violence they just saw, they jumped into action,” said Chief of Fire and Rescue Allison Armstrong. “They helped others by placing tourniquets, dressing wounds, applying pressure and comforting those victims until additional help could arrive.” Half the victims arrived at hospitals with tourniquets applied by either police or bystanders, Armstrong said. Hundreds of people were at the Old West End Festival, an annual two-day celebration in Toledo’s historic district that covers several city blocks and features live music, vendors and home tours. Toledo is located in northwest Ohio near the western edge of Lake Erie, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit. The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said it would not have been "compassionate, responsible or possible” to continue through he weekend.

The race in this Las Vegas-area district is among a handful across the country expected to be decisive in determining the balance of power in Congress, with Republicans currently holding a narrow House majority. Of note: Trump narrowly won this district in the 2024 presidential election. O'Donnell, a video game composer who loaned his campaign $3 million, handily defeated three Republican primary opponents. Lee won re-election in 2024 by nearly 3 percentage points -- an accomplishment in the face of Trump's victory that year. This race is likely to draw national attention and streams of campaign contributions to both campaigns. TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENTS MATTERED IN SOUTH CAROLINA Already in this year's primary elections, Trump-backed candidates have defeated Republican Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas as well as Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. This time, Trump appears to have ended the political career of Mace, who failed to make the top two vote-getters and will not advance to a June 23 runoff. Trump’s late endorsement of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette pushed her atop a crowded primary field. Evette, who ran on an “America First” platform, will face second-place finisher Attorney General Alan Wilson. The Republican primary winner is expected to also win the November general election as it has been nearly three decades since a Democrat has been elected governor in this Republican-leaning state. Trump also endorsed four-term Senator Lindsey Graham, who faced several primary challengers including from hard-right Greenville-area businessman Mark Lynch, whom Trump called a "lunatic." Graham will avoid a runoff, as he captured nearly 58% of the vote with 90% of votes counted. GOLDEN MOMENT FOR REPUBLICANS? Representative Jared Golden, one of the most moderate Democrats in the U.S. Congress, is retiring and Republicans can taste victory in the race for his replacement. Former Republican Governor Paul LePage ran unopposed in his primary for the seat in a district Trump won in 2024, and he has Trump's "complete and total endorsement." With 42% of the vote counted, three Democrats - Jordan Wood, Joseph Baldacci and Matthew Dunlap - remained locked in a three-way battle to take on LePage. This is another race that could help define whether Republicans hold onto their narrow U.S. House majority.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio were searching for a 20-year-old man in connection with a shooting between two rival groups that wounded 12 people at a crowded neighborhood festival, while authorities asked for help identifying a person they called a “second shooter.” Ka Nye Taylor is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault, the Toledo Police Department said Wednesday, four days after the shooting in a park filled with event tents, a music stage and food trucks. Police on Wednesday released a photo of a second male suspect dressed in all black at the festival. Phone numbers for Taylor or his family members were not immediately available or found in online directories. The shooting erupted after someone was tackled and assaulted at the festival, leading one person to open fire and a second to respond with more gunshots, Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said at a news conference Tuesday. Three of the 12 people shot were involved in the altercation, authorities said, while the rest were bystanders. The wounded ranged in age from teenagers to one person in their 60s. All but three had been released from the hospital by Tuesday. The police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly helped the victims. “We saw strangers who were shocked and frightened by the violence they just saw, they jumped into action,” said Chief of Fire and Rescue Allison Armstrong. “They helped others by placing tourniquets, dressing wounds, applying pressure and comforting those victims until additional help could arrive.” Half the victims arrived at hospitals with tourniquets applied by either police or bystanders, Armstrong said. Hundreds of people were at the Old West End Festival, an annual two-day celebration in Toledo’s historic district that covers several city blocks and features live music, vendors and home tours. Toledo is located in northwest Ohio near the western edge of Lake Erie, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit. The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said it would not have been "compassionate, responsible or possible” to continue through he weekend.
