    Iraq to Host Gulf Cup 28; Basra Emerges as Frontrunner

    The Gulf Football Association has decided that Iraq will host the 28th edition of the Gulf Cup, scheduled for late 2028. While the final decision on the host city is yet to be made, Basra is currently the leading candidate. The tournament's executive office met in Jeddah to discuss the hosting file, with Iraq being the only country to submit an official request so far. Other Gulf countries, such as Oman and Bahrain, have shown interest but have not yet submitted official bids. The final decision on the host city is expected to be made through coordination with the Iraqi government.

    Trump Offers to Sell U.S. Arms to China Amid Taiwan Tensions

    U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly offered to sell American weapons to China, according to U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue. The offer comes amidst ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over arms deliveries to Taiwan. Trump has previously justified the pending U.S. arms sale to Taiwan by downplaying it as just one of many sales Washington makes around the world. However, the U.S. is legally bound to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, and multiple U.S. leaders have left ambiguous whether they would commit military force to defend the U.S. ally should China invade.
