Ahead of Christmas, markets in Goa wear festive look

Criticism of Donald Trump is intensifying within the United States as the war with Iran continues, with Democratic lawmakers raising serious allegations about financial gains linked to the conflict. Jon Ossoff has accused individuals close to Trump both inside and outside the administration of profiting from advance knowledge of military actions and market-moving decisions tied to the war. Speaking at an event in Georgia, Ossoff framed the conflict not just as a strategic and humanitarian issue, but as an economic one, arguing that it is draining national resources while increasing costs for ordinary Americans. At the centre of his claims are concerns about defence investments, energy markets, and business activities connected to key figures. Ossoff pointed to reports suggesting that individuals linked to senior officials had positioned themselves financially ahead of major developments in the conflict.
