Trump Gives First Major Interview Since Conviction

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has given his first lengthy interview since his criminal conviction in New York. He spoke with *The New York Times*. In the conversation, Trump repeated his claims that his trial was "rigged." He also discussed his policy plans if he wins the November election. These included proposals on the economy and immigration. The interview is seen as a key moment in the 2024 presidential campaign. It provides direct insight into the former president's current views. Separately, a global "shadow fleet" of oil tankers is under increased scrutiny. These older ships, often owned by unclear companies, are used to transport oil from countries under international sanctions. Experts warn they pose major environmental risks due to poor safety standards and a lack of insurance. In Minneapolis, the trial of a police officer continues. The officer is charged in the 2023 death of a man during an arrest. Prosecutors say the man was shocked with a stun gun and restrained until he lost consciousness. The defense argues the officer followed procedure. The case has renewed local debates over police tactics.
