DOONBEG, Ireland, Sept 13 (Reuters) - No country should have lower interest rates than the U.S., President Donald Trump said on Sunday, days before the Federal Reserve's next policy meeting.
Speaking to reporters at the Irish Open golf tournament, Trump said he did not know whether Fed policymakers will raise interest rates at their meeting this week. But he said the U.S. "should be paying the lowest interest rate in the world" no matter what the Federal Reserve's data indicates about inflation and the economy.
The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, a key measure of underlying inflation, on Friday posted its largest increase in four months. That reinforced expectations that the U.S. central bank will raise the target range for its federal funds rate, now at 3.5% to 3.75%, at the conclusion of its Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday.
Price pressures remain elevated as the economy deals with Trump's import tax increases and surging energy prices tied to the Iran war. Many at the Fed worry that the longer inflation remains high, the greater the cost will be to get it back to target.

DOONBEG, Ireland, Sept 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday a lot of "very negative forces" are bringing things up about AI that won't happen and said that he wanted to make sure that the United States remains the industry leader.
"We're leading China in AI. We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins," Trump, at his Ireland golf course, told reporters when asked if the AI industry should slow down or be more regulated.
"We could put guardrails. We can do this and that. But I think you have a lot of very negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn't be bringing it up and they're bringing up things that won't happen."
Trump has resisted stirring concerns about AI.

The UW-Eau Claire Blugolds believe.
They believe this is the team that can turn around the program's college football fortunes. And they believe they can play with anybody.
That mindset was evident as the Blugolds started fast before holding off a strong Alma College team 23-15 in the season opener Saturday afternoon at Carson Park.
It was arguably the biggest win in head coach Rob Erickson's four seasons at Eau Claire.
"It's hard to rank the wins in my time here, but I would say this one is right there," Erickson said. "Alma was a final four team four years ago. They were a playoff team for six straight years.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that it was "time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore," just days after trade talks between the neighboring countries broke down.
"I had a deal, that was a pretty good deal, you know, quite good," Trump told Glenn Beck in an interview. "They don't have anything that we have to have, okay, we can get by. I mean, there are a couple of things that would make it a little inconvenient, but we can get them elsewhere. And it's time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore."
Trump imposed new 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian imports on Saturday after talks between the two countries collapsed.
Canada hit back on Tuesday with retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. annual imports and rolled out aid for businesses and workers, matching Washington's latest duties dollar for dollar. They take effect on September 8.

Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason will be working from a new spot for the rest of the preseason.
Mason tore multiple ligaments in his knee when he was involved in a sideline collision during the team's first preseason game and has been working at the team's practices using a large brace. Head coach Shane Steichen indicated that he is passing on having surgery for now, but the team will have him coach from a booth upstairs for their two remaining games this summer.
"He's pretty tough," Steichen said, via Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. "Obviously, he's back out here in a brace. I think, right now, he's going to let that thing heal. He has some serious injuries, which is wild, but he's going to be up in the box for these next two preseason games, just for precautionary reasons."
Steichen said that Mason wants to remain on the sideline, but the head coach feels there's too much risk to have that happen in the next few weeks.

Indianapolis Colts' second-year cornerback Justin Walley was one of the standout performers in the team's training camp practice on Saturday.
This was a shorter practice, only about an hour long, and the focus was on the red zone. There, Walley forced two pass breakups, according to the Indy Star's Joel Erickson.
On one play, Walley "went up high," Erickson wrote, while covering Laquon Treadwell. On the other pass breakup, which also came when defending Treadwell, Walley blanketed the initial route before he "cut off" Treadwell as he altered his route.
Walley will be the Colts' starting nickel cornerback, with Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward outside. However, Walley has taken some outside snaps as well during training camp, giving the Colts another option at that position if an injury occurs.
Walley impressed early on last summer, but unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending ACL injury. Since returning to the practice field in the spring, however, he has hit the ground running, seemingly picking up where he left off.

Indianapolis Colts' special teams coordinator Brian Mason suffered a significant knee injury on the final play of the team's first preseason game against the New England Patriots.
According to the Indy Star's Joel Erickson, Mason "has multiple torn knee ligaments." Mason did fly back with the team on Thursday night.
The injury occurred when a Colts player and a Patriots player were locked as they blocked each other and went flying onto the Colts' sideline, where Mason was knocked over. He was immediately in significant pain.
What this injury means for Mason in the immediate future as far as coaching the special teams unit still remains to be seen.
Of note, Joe Hastings is the Colts' senior **** istant special teams coach. The 2026 season will be Hastings' sixth with the Colts and third in his current role.

In the latest Indianapolis Colts training camp practice, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner looked like DeForest Buckner.
As noted by the Indy Star's Joel Erickson, Buckner would have two wins during the offensive line vs. defensive line one-on-one period on Sunday. Then, during the final team period, he made his way into the backfield twice and had a run stop.
"Whenever Buck is out there, you can definitely feel him," Shane Steichen said, via Colts.com. "It's great to get him out there getting some team reps. Again, monitoring him through training camp, where his body's at, but he feels good. He feels good where he's at."
Buckner has been ramping up during training camp. After sustaining a neck injury last season that required surgery, he spent the offseason rehabbing.
Recently, Buckner has been taking part in the 11-on-11 periods after initially only taking part in individual drills early in camp.

Marshall Manning may follow a familiar path in his football career. He has transferred to the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee — not far from the University of Tennessee, where his father, Peyton Manning, played.
Marshall will be the backup quarterback this season to Keegan Croucher, a 2027 recruit committed to Ole Miss. The 15-year-old Manning appears headed for the starting lineup next fall.
Watch him — better yet, close your eyes and listen — explain his role this season. It's almost like listening to any of the commercials the Indianapolis Colts legend starred in over the years.
"It's hard, having to work all summer and all year," Marshall said, "but maybe not get to go on the field. I feel like it's helped me grow so much."

During the Indianapolis Colts' third training camp practice on Friday, there were some noteworthy developments at a pair of positional battles taking place.
The first came at wide receiver, where, most notably, the WR3 role is up for grabs. Emerging on Friday was Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, a free agent signee by the Colts.
According to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Westbrook-Ikhine hauled in two completions, including an "underthrown deep ball" from Daniel Jones. His second reception came with Sauce Gardner in coverage.
The Indy Star's Joel Erickson wrote that Westbrook-Ikhine "has made the most of his plays" through three training camp practices, using his size to his advantage. Erickson added that this was the first "big day" for any player in the WR3 competition.
Competing for this spot on the depth chart are primarily DJ Giddens and Seth McGowan. For Giddens, however, it's been a ****** py start, with him dropping a pass on Friday -- something that's occurred one other time in three practices as well.

Following the Indianapolis Colts' first training camp practice, there were some noteworthy lineup observations made by the Indy Star's Joel Erickson in a post-practice report.
With Alec Pierce sidelined, starting at wide receiver next to Josh Downs were Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell. With the third starting wide receiver role on the roster up for grabs, Dulin and Treadwell appear to be the early favorites to fill that role.
Dulin, in particular, is coming off a strong showing during offseason programs. Along with Treadwell being in the mix for snaps on offense, his ability to contribute to a few different special teams phases helps his case to make a roster push.
Then at linebacker, with CJ Allen on the PUP list, Erickson notes that Bryce Boettcher and Akeem Davis-Gaither were the two starters. This doesn't come as a big surprise, considering that both saw snaps with the ones during offseason programs. These two may end up battling for the starting spot next to Allen.
Lastly, it wasn't AJ Haulcy starting next to Cam Bynum, but it was Hunter Wohler who got those reps. Haulcy impressed during offseason programs, but Wohler's versatility adds an intriguing dynamic to that position group.

Training camp has arrived for the Indianapolis Colts, and Anthony Richardson is still a member of the team.
His trade request, however, is still on the table, according to GM Chris Ballard, who met with local media members on Tuesday.
Ballard's intention at this time is to keep Richardson. The Colts aren't going to "give him away," Ballard said, via Mike Chappell.
That said, time will tell if that remains true. According to Joel Erickson, Ballard says the team understands that trading Richardson is still a possibility.
Richardson requested the trade back in late February, but a market never developed. He was with the team for the majority of offseason programs and took part in the on-field work during OTAs and minicamp. Richardson is currently competing with Riley Leonard for the backup role.

MARIETTA, Georgia, July 22 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump rallied supporters in Georgia on Wednesday to press for stricter nationwide voting requirements, leaning into his election-security message that some Republicans worry could hurt them in the state's competitive U.S. Senate race.
Trump's speech in the Atlanta suburbs follows months of attacks on Georgia's election system, which he has criticized since his 2020 loss in the state. So far this year, the president has questioned Georgia's voting system at least nine times during public events and interviews, according to a Reuters review.
In a June podcast, Trump falsely said the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. Days later, during a telephone rally for a Republican gubernatorial candidate, Trump said: "Our elections are corrupt."
On Wednesday, Trump said some Republican victories in the state were "not going to be that easy with the cheating and everything else going on."

WASHINGTON, July 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino to review a red card issued to U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, defending the intervention as a bid to correct what he called a "horrible" officiating decision.
The unprecedented move by a sitting U.S. president in a World Cup has thrust FIFA's disciplinary process into the spotlight and prompted an angry response from Belgium, which plays the U.S. on Monday for a place in the quarterfinals.
"All I did, I asked for a review, because I didn't think it was a foul," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump said the incident that led to Balogun's red card was simply a case of two athletes colliding.

Former SEC Freshman of the Year Tori Edwards announced her transfer from the LSU Tigers to Florida on Saturday.
Edwards started all 58 games at first base for LSU in 2025 and slashed .383/.495/.802 with a 1.298 OPS. She hit a team-high 18 home runs and drove in 73 runs — the third most in program history — while walking (37) more than she struck out. It's considered one of the greatest freshman seasons in program history, and she was named an NFCA All-American Second Teamer, while finishing in the top 10 for the NFCA Freshman of the Year and the top 25 for the USA Softball Player of the Year.
Edwards' sophomore year was still excellent, but it didn't quite live up to the breakout performance she put up as a freshman. She slashed .284/.451/.568 with a 1.019 OPS, once again starting 58 games at first base. Her homers dipped slightly to 12, as did the RBI count of 45. She still walked (48) more than she struck out (39).
Edwards earned NFCA Gulf All-Region Second Team and All-SEC Second Team honors. She should replace Jocelyn Erickson, who played catcher and first base.
Florida has now landed a pair of commitments from the transfer portal, the first being from Duke redshirt sophomore catcher Kairi Rodriguez.

The San Francisco 49ers added serious firepower to their offense during free agency by signing six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans to a three-year contract. As the team progresses through offseason workouts, one NFL **** yst thinks head coach Kyle Shanahan will utilize the 6-foot-5 boundary target at a particular area of the field: the red zone.
According to FantasyPros **** yst Andrew Erickson, Evans is stepping into a situation primed for high-volume touchdown production. Erickson thinks Evans can replicate what another star veteran did on a new team this past year—Los Angeles Rams receiver Davante Adams. He noted Adams' NFL-leading 14 touchdowns during his first season with the Rams as a reachable goal for Evans in San Francisco because of Jauan Jennings' departure and Brock Purdy's red zone scoring numbers.
During the 2025 season, 11 of Adams' 14 scores came from 10 yards or fewer away from the end zone. That hyper-localized production mirrors exactly how Evans has built a borderline Hall of Fame resume. Over his 12-year career, Evans has hauled in 108 total receiving touchdowns, with 51 of those scores generated from that same short-yardage area.
This interior scoring prowess pairs perfectly with Purdy’s efficiency. When healthy last season, Purdy finished second in the NFL by averaging 2.2 passing touchdowns per game.
Evans is already turning heads at practice and establishing a rapport with Purdy. He'll just need to keep doing what he's been doing to rebound off an injury-plagued 2025 season during his first year in the Bay.

TEL AVIV/DUBAI/NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey, June 8 (Reuters) - Israel said on Monday it hit a petrochemical plant in Iran's southwest, along with strikes elsewhere on military targets, after U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks.
In the first hit on an energy site inside Iran since the April 8 ceasefire, Israel said it struck targets at the Mahshahr petrochemical complex, while a provincial official told Iran's semi-official Fars news agency parts of the plant were damaged.
Hours earlier, Trump said new strikes by Israel and Iran would not affect his administration's peace talks with Tehran, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "doesn't call the shots."
Trump has leaned on Israel to stop its attacks in Lebanon to allow room for a deal to end the wider war with Iran, including rebuking Netanyahu with obscenities in a phone call last week.

BEIRUT/DUBAI/NEW BRUNSWICK, New Jersey, June 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to strike back after Iran fired a salvo of missiles at Israeli targets in retaliation for an attack on the outskirts of Beirut, news outlet Axios reported.
Iran has long said any peace deal with the U.S. would depend on a ceasefire also holding in Lebanon, which Israel invaded in March in pursuit of Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters who fired rockets and drones across the border in solidarity with Tehran.
But Israel earlier on Sunday launched strikes in the Beirut area for the first time since the U.S. announced a truce plan for Lebanon last week.
The Israeli military later said it had identified missiles launched from Iran and that its defense systems had intercepted them. Details on whether Israel suffered any damage were not yet available.
