Hurricane Melissa made landfall on Cuba this morning as an "extremely dangerous" Category 3 hurricane, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Hurricane Melissa is now among the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on record.

It is expected to slice diagonally across the island, entering near St. Elizabeth parish in the south and exiting around St. Ann parish in the north, before heading for Cuba.

President Donald Trump said he thinks his highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping is “going to work out very, very well for everybody.”

Donald Trump was gifted a putter used by late Japanese leader - and the president's golf buddy - Shinzo Abe on his visit to Tokyo.

Japan plans to purchase more Ford (F.N) F-150 pickup trucks, an idea floated by Trump, sources with knowledge of the preparations for the talks told Reuters.
