    Trump Declares He Won’t Seek VP Role in 2028

    Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, indicated on Monday that he has no plans to pursue the vice presidency in the 2028 election, despite some supporters floating the idea to extend his time in office.

    “When asked about this aboard Air Force One, Trump responded, “I’d be allowed to do that,” referring to the possibility of running as VP. He promptly added, “But I wouldn’t do that. I think that’s too cute. Yeah, I’d rule it out because it’s too cute. I don’t think the people would like that. It’s not right.”

    Trump has frequently hinted at the possibility of a third term, including publicly and through “Trump 2028” hats handed out at the White House. However, the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. Some have suggested a workaround where Trump could serve as vice president while another candidate runs for president and resigns, allowing Trump to assume the presidency again. legal standing of this maneuver remains disputed.

    Expressing his interest, Trump said, “I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever,” when asked about a third term. When pressed whether he’s ruling out a third run, he replied, “Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me.”

    He also praised Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, calling them “great people” who could run for president. “I think if they ever formed a team, it’d be unstoppable. I really do,” Trump stated.

  • Ghana Defense Minister Among Eight Victims in Helicopter Crash

    Ghana Defense Minister Among Eight Victims in Helicopter Crash

    Ghana’s Defense Minister, Edward Omane Boamah, died in a military helicopter crash on Wednesday, along with four other officials and three air force personnel, according to the government.

    Julius Debrah, President John Mahama’s chief of staff, announced during a press conference that the crash, which claimed the lives of Boamah, Environment, Science, and Technology Minister Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, and others, was a national tragedy.

    The office of President Mahama described the incident as a national tragedy; the deaths of the environment, science, and technology minister and others are deeply mourned.

    Debrah conveyed the government’s condolences and sympathies to the families of the fallen servicemen and colleagues who lost their lives while serving the country.

    Authorities have not yet provided an official explanation for the cause of the crash.

    Earlier, Ghana’s armed forces stated that radar contact had been lost with a Z9 military helicopter.

    Boamah, who previously served as communications minister, was appointed defense minister in January after Mahama returned to power. His successor will handle a complicated security portfolio that includes both external and internal threats.

    Like other West African coastal nations, Ghana faces threats from Islamist groups operating in the Sahel region, particularly those attempting to advance southward from Burkina Faso and Mali—areas plagued with frequent deadly attacks.

    A spokesperson for Mahama indicated last month that Ghana had increased troop deployments to a northeastern region affected by ongoing conflicts over chieftaincy, which have recently sparked violence, including attacks on schools.
