The Latest: Belgians to challenge FIFA decision to let Folarin Balogun play in World Cup match

The Belgian soccer federation is demanding an explanation from FIFA about a decision to let U.S forward Folarin Balogun play at the World Cup despite getting a red card in his previous game.

Trump rang a ceremonial bell Monday as the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq opened, a symbolic Oval Office act reflecting how much he's counting on the stock market. The event was aimed at promoting the launch of Trump Accounts for children, which Republicans created as part of their 2025 tax and spending cuts bill.
