And here is a piece looking at how Trump appears to be leading Harris among Arab American voters.

• With two weeks to go until the US presidential election, polls show democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican contender Donald Trump neck-and-neck nationwide and in battleground states.
• Trump gave a rambling address to Latino voters in Florida, where he called his opponent a “radical left lunatic” who would turn the US into “Venezuela”.
• Ex-UK foreign chief David Owen told Al Jazeera that a Trump win would lead to a “quick negotiation between Ukraine and Russia”.
• The candidates campaigned against the backdrop of a looming, widening war in the Middle East, where US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought to revive flailing ceasefire talks.
• Trump is set to appear in an interview with Joe Rogan, the host of the most popular podcast in the US, in a last-ditch appeal to young men.

The US army has been ordered to release documents about a controversial visit by Donald Trump to the Arlington National Cemetery earlier this year.

The controversy erupted after Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony last August to pay tribute to the 13 US service members who were killed in the Kabul airport bombing in 2021.The visit attracted scrutiny after campaign staff “pushed aside” a cemetery worker, who attempted to stop photographing and filming in the vicinity of service members’ graves.

According to US federal law, campaign activity is prohibited around or near military cemeteries.

On Tuesday, a federal court issued an order to the army, which runs the cemetery, to release records about the visit — a move that threatens to reignite polemics about Trump’s history of disrespecting service members.

The order follows a public records lawsuit filed by transparency group American Oversight.

In the United States, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump faces a growing pile of missed payments for rallies and legal bills during his current bid for the presidency, previous campaigns, and in the private sector.

Trump owes cities across the country for costs associated with staging a rally, including security costs, public safety expenses, allocation of resources and, in some cases, facility rentals.

One of the bills he owes is to the City of Prescott Valley in Arizona. City officials told Al Jazeera that Trump’s campaign has not paid the full costs of his local rally in 2022. The city said it is still owed $25,737.32.

A city spokesperson told Al Jazeera that they had asked the campaign to pay up front for the most recent rally held earlier this month.

The US officials were briefing reporters on United States election security, saying that foreign actors were likely to conduct disinformation operations to create doubts about the electoral process and “undermine Americans’ confidence in the US democratic system”.

“These activities are consistent with what these actors perceive to be in their interests, even as their tactics continue to evolve,” an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said, naming Russia, Iran and China, but adding that there was no evidence of collaboration between the three countries.

“Some foreign actors also have the capacity to stoke protests and take violent actions during this [post-election] period,” the ODNI official said. “In particular, Iran and Russia are probably willing to at least consider tactics that would contribute to such violence.”

A Chinese embassy spokesperson told Reuters that Beijing had no intention of interfering in the US election.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel on Tuesday on his first trip to the Middle East since the escalation of Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon last month.

With the US elections only two weeks away, there is still the very real possibility that Washington will get be involved in a regional conflict against Iran and its allied groups – something that would likely prove unpopular among a large proportion of Americans.

The US said that Blinken had told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “capitalise” on the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza last week, in order to bring the war that has devastated the Palestinian enclave to an end.

But Israel has shown little willingness to do that, and instead has escalated across the region, turning off anti-war – and particularly Arab American and Muslim American – voters from the Democrats.

Politico first reported the news on Tuesday, citing a “person familiar with the plans” who the outlet has kept anonymous.

The interview will take place on Friday.

The Joe Rogan Experience is the most popular podcast in the United States, and has leant to the right in recent years. However, its host, comedian Joe Rogan, has previously called himself a liberal, and has criticised Trump in the past, calling him a “threat to democracy”.

Trump has appeared on a number of other podcasts popular with young men, such as Flagrant and Impaulsive, in an effort to attract more support from that demographic.

JPMorgan’s chief executive Jamie Dimon told associates he supports Kamala Harris and dislikes Donald Trump – after speculation about his political views following favourable comments he made earlier this year about the latter.

Dimon, who leads the largest bank in the United States, also told people he would consider a role in Harris administration, possibly as Treasury Secretary, the New York Times reported.  He also reportedly told them that Trump’s continued false claim that he won the 2020 election is “close” to a disqualifying factor.

But Dimon has made no public comments or endorsements, even leaving the door open, during a recent interview, to the possibility he might endorse Trump. The bank chief is not commenting publicly because he fears retaliation from Trump, should he win, according to sources familiar with his thinking.

Trump has promised “revenge” against his opponents. Earlier this month, he shared a post on social media falsely suggesting that Dimon had endorsed him.

Mexican authorities have detained tens of thousands migrants and asylum seekers en route to the United States and are returning them to countries further south, in what critics say is a system meant to serve the interests of the US political cycle.

The practice has led to a sharp drop in arrivals at the US border, but immigrant rights advocates argue that it is a violation of human rights and Mexican law.

“These are not dissuasive practices,” Tonatiuh Guillen, the former director of the Mexican National Migration Institute, told Al Jazeera. “These methods do no inhibit people from migrating.”

For years, Mexico has prided itself on not harming migrants and asylum seekers as they make their way north, but with immigration a major issue for Americans as they head to the polls, this policy seems to be here to stay.

• Trump met with Latino voters at an event at his Florida golf course, but then he quickly pivoted into a rambling attack against Harris, suggesting the country would turn into “Venezuela on steroids” under her watch
• While Trump courted Latinos, a Republican “election watch” effort in North Carolina called on volunteers to flag as suspicious voters with “Hispanic-sounding last names”.
• The Obamas prepared to hit the campaign trail for Harris, with a tour of swing states also featuring big hitters like rapper Eminem and singer Bruce Springsteen
• Early voting began in Wisconsin, one of a handful of key swing states that are likely to decide the election.

US elections can be confusing. The results are not decided by the total number of votes across the country, but by the number of Electoral College votes secured in individual states.

Will Trump’s push to attract more Hispanic voters work? Recent polling still shows Trump trailing Kamala Harris among voters from the demographic in battleground states. But it’s a lot closer than it used to be – and events like today’s are an attempt to bring even more Hispanic people into the Republican fold.

Democratic pollster Fernand Amandi told Al Jazeera that the most important thing is to look at the methodology of each poll to determine its usefulness, and to focus on poll aggregators, which gather different polls and make a judgement on the state of the campaign accordingly.

“Not all polls are created equal,” said Amandi. “Some are made-up garbage, some just as well may have numbers written in by hand.”

Amandi also suggested that the Democrats were ahead in the race, even if polls showed a tighter race.

“Since Biden got out there was clear undeniable movement,” he said. “There has been a steady trend that has her ahead now. That doesn’t mean she’s ahead by a blowout as the race could tighten in the next few weeks.”

Trump’s meeting with Latino community leaders at his Florida golf course was supposed to be a pitch to a voting block he’s losing to Harris, but he quickly pivoted to attacking her in a disjointed and incoherent speech.

Trump called Harris a “radical left lunatic” and “further left than Bernie Sanders or Pocahontas”, a racist reference to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, before also suggesting that “nobody knows who she is”.

He also attacked the administration’s hurricane relief efforts before turning his familiar grudges about President Biden’s decision not to seek reelection. He suggested the US would turn into “Venezuela on steroids” under a Harris administration. “These people don’t love our country,” he said.

Trump also commented on the leak of a US assessment of Israeli plans to strike Iran, blaming the Biden administration for it. “It was leaked by our somebody,” he said. “That is the enemy from within.”

The rambling led Jim Acosta, a CNN anchor, to cut off a live stream of the speech, which he described as an “incoherent stream of consciousness”.

Trump is heading back to North Carolina today – specifically to the state’s central city of Greensboro – but he was in the western and eastern parts of the state yesterday, highlighting the importance of the state.

It narrowly voted Republican in the last election, but has a Democratic governor, and is once again a key state in this election.

Trump was on the ground in Asheville on Monday, visiting the mountain city that was devastated by Hurricane Helene last month – and which the former president falsely claimed had been deprived of federal aid by Biden.

And Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher attended a rally held in Greenville, in the state’s east, later on Monday, where he found Trump supporters were still adamant he was the only man to make America great again. You can watch Fisher’s report below:

It might be eight years since they were in the White House, but former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama remain incredibly popular among Democrats.

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is looking to utilise that popularity in the last two weeks of her campaign, with the Obamas set to appear at numerous rallies over the next few days in swing states.

The vice president will campaign alongside Barack Obama for the first time in Georgia on Thursday, then attend a campaign rally with Michelle Obama in Michigan on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are drafting in other big hitters – rapper Eminem will introduce Barack Obama at an event in Detroit tonight, reports CNN, while singer Bruce Springsteen will headline a concert and a rally with the former president in Philadelphia on Monday.

The leader of an “election protection” activist group in North Carolina was seen in a video instructing attendees at a virtual meeting to flag voters with “Hispanic-sounding last names” as one way to identify potentially suspicious registrations.

The video, obtained by CBS News, shows the president of the North Carolina Election Integrity Team, a group of self-described “patriots” dedicated to investigating what they perceive as election fraud, making the comments to some of the group’s 1,800 volunteers.

“If you’ve got folks … that were registered, and they’re missing information… and they were registered in the last 90 days before the election, and they’ve got Hispanic-sounding last names, that probably is, is a suspicious voter,” said James Womack, who also chairs the Republican Party in Lee County, North Carolina. “It doesn’t mean they’re illegal. It just means they’re suspicious.”

His comments echo baseless claims repeatedly made by Donald Trump and other Republicans, alleging that large numbers of undocumented voters plan to vote in the election.

“It’s very much a myth,” Juan Proano, the CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, told CBS News. “But the campaigns have essentially used it as rhetoric, again, to try and suppress and intimidate the Latino vote.”

The founder of the world’s largest asset management firm said in an interview that the US election “really doesn’t matter” for the market.

Larry Fink, co-founder and chief executive of BlackRock, made the comments at a conference hosted by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association on Monday.

“I’m tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time it doesn’t matter,” Fink said. “Unfortunately, there’s too much preoccupation with whether the market’s going up or down at any one time, any one quarter.”

“We work with both administrations and are having conversations with both candidates,” he added.

BlackRock boasts $11.5 trillion in assets, more than half in retirement funds.

The Midwest state is the latest state to begin the early voting process, giving eager members of the electorate the opportunity to cast their vote.

The state is part of the “Blue Wall” – a name used to refer to a series of neighbouring states, including Michigan and Pennsylvania, that are key to a Democratic win.

That was the case in 2020, when Biden won Wisconsin by just less than 21,000 votes. It’s expected to be just as tight this time around.

To reverse the loss in the last presidential election, the Trump campaign is encouraging its supporters to vote early, by mail and by drop box – never mind that Trump himself had falsely claimed that those methods led to fraud, part of his argument after he lost the presidency in 2020.

On the ground in Wisconsin, dozens of voters lined up outside the municipal building in Milwaukee for the start of voting, which began there at 9am Central Time (14:00 GMT). Times and locations differ throughout the state.

The Democrats will be hosting a campaign event in Madison on Tuesday, with Walz and former President Barack Obama in attendance.
