Sweden has asked a Chinese vessel to return to Swedish waters to help facilitate an investigation into recent breaches of undersea fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Tuesday. He emphasized that he was not making any accusations. On Nov. 17 and 18, two subsea cables—one linking Finland and Germany and the other connecting Sweden to Lithuania—were damaged within 24 hours, prompting German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius to suggest that the damage could be sabotage. Sweden, Germany, and Lithuania launched criminal investigations last week, focusing on the Chinese bulk carrier Yi Peng 3, which had left…

President-elect Donald Trump’s team expected a treasury day at Mar-a-Lago. Top aides rushed around last Thursday, continuing their work to build the administration from Trump’s West Palm Beach residence. That morning, they anticipated the next major announcement would be a pick for treasury secretary. Then, everything changed. “I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General,” former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz posted on social media. “Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.” Gaetz withdrew after it became clear that sexual misconduct allegations and an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation would make it nearly…

The appointments include his picks for deputy secretary of health and human services, US trade representative, and head of the National Economic Council, among others. Trump named Jamieson Greer, an attorney who previously served under his former trade representative Robert Lighthizer, as the US trade representative.

For the second consecutive day, Drake has taken legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG), this time in Texas, over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.” This follows a similar filing in New York on Monday, where Drake accused UMG of artificially inflating the popularity of “Not Like Us” on Spotify and other streaming platforms. These two court actions have escalated the ongoing feud between the two hip-hop stars, drawing UMG, the parent company of the labels for both artists, directly into the conflict. In Tuesday’s filing in Bexar County, Drake alleges that UMG engaged in “irregular and inappropriate…

Summary TAIPEI, Nov 27 (Reuters) – China is likely to launch military drills near Taiwan in the coming days, using President Lai Ching-te’s upcoming trip to the Pacific and his scheduled U.S. transit as a pretext, according to Taiwan and regional security officials.

Hezbollah parliament member Hassan Fadlallah described the…

Summary Shares of automakers General Motors and Stellantis fell Tuesday morning after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from Canada and Mexico into the U.S. These tariffs would significantly impact the global automotive industry, which has relied on Mexico, in particular, for lower-cost vehicle production since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect in 1994. UBS reports that the automotive industry accounts for 26% of imports from Mexico to the U.S., including vehicles and parts, and 12% from Canada. Nearly every major automaker operating in the U.S. has factories in Mexico. However,…
