CNN —Mexican authorities have announced what they say is the largest fentanyl bust in the country’s history, with over a ton of the synthetic opioid seized in two raids in the cartel-ridden northern state of Sinaloa. “Think (about it), the consumption of a person addicted to fentanyl over the course of a year is like a packet of sugar. Then think about a ton of fentanyl, we are talking about more than 20 million doses, and close to eight billion Mexican pesos ($394 million),” the president said. “These actions will continue until the violence decreases in the state of Sinaloa,” Harfuch wrote on X early Thursday. The Sinaloa Cartel is thought to be responsible for the trafficking of vast amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl into the US.

☆ Beware these retailers that increased promotions more than expected throughout Black Friday weekend, BMO says
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-03 | by ( Alex Harring | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Some retailers "promoted deeper as weekend progressed versus 2023's cadence," analyst Simeon Siegel wrote to clients in a Monday note. Siegel's comments come as investors and analysts try to determine which brands or retailers are outperforming this year, particularly as the holiday shopping season hits its stride. However, Siegel did provide a list of names that went further into discounts than was anticipated as the weekend went on. That means the company may have "underperformed its initial hopes for the outset of the holiday selling," the analyst said. After that run, the typical analyst sees shares slipping by 3% over the next 12 months, according to LSEG.

AdvertisementThe US Navy has developed a new way of reloading warships with missiles while at sea. It will be "critical" to any future conflict in the Pacific, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said. "Without the ability to rearm at sea, our service combatants must return to port, sometimes thousands of miles away," Del Toro said at the time. Del Toro said the US Navy expected to start deploying TRAM within the next two to three years. In a speech at Columbia University in December 2022, Del Toro said delivering the "game-changing" capability to rearm US warships at sea was one of his top priorities.

CNN —Australian police seized the country’s largest haul of cocaine aboard a fishing boat that had broken down near the coast of Queensland, arresting 13 people alleged to be part of a drug-smuggling syndicate. Authorities tracked a recreational fishing boat as it traveled out to sea where it allegedly met a mothership in international waters to fetch the cocaine – some 2.34 metric tons with a street value of nearly half a billion dollars. Police seized their chance to board the boat, arresting two men at sea in a joint investigation between federal and local forces. Police found 2.34 metric tons of cocaine wrapped in bales with roped netting around them on a recreational fishing vessel. Among the haul was 225 metric tons of cocaine, 5 tons of which was found aboard a semi-submersible vessel plying a marine trafficking route from Colombia to Australia, according to the Colombian Navy.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday he would pick Kash Patel, the former chief of staff to to the acting secretary of defense during the first Trump administration, to serve as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and “America First” fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People," Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social, arguing Patel would "bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI." Patel has earned a reputation as the ultimate Trump loyalist who has called for a purge of perceived enemies in the Justice Department and intelligence agencies. During the closing months of Trump’s tenure, the former president proposed Patel to serve as the deputy CIA director or to take over the FBI. He accused Patel of being a Washington bureaucrat who would interfere in a case where he was not needed.

Ukraine's navy has revealed a fresh paint job on some of its vessels, which appear to have adopted a World War I-era tactic of using dazzle camouflage. The Ukrainian navy shared the images on social media on Thursday, showing versions of the paintwork. The boats were pictured taking part in a demonstration for naval experts from Denmark, which is cooperating with Ukraine on various naval issues, Ukraine's navy said. Dazzle camouflage first emerged in World War I as a means to confuse enemy submarines and reduce their ability to effectively aim torpedoes. Ukraine's navy has no large ships on active duty and consists mainly of small vessels, like those seen in the recent images.

In the year since, the rebels have menaced key Middle East shipping routes with missiles and drones, disrupting maritime trade. However, the ongoing Houthi attacks have caused a notable decline in activity along that critical route, forcing ships to make longer and more expensive trips around Africa. Over the past year, the Navy has fired off hundreds of munitions in its Middle East operations, costing over $1.8 billion and draining the Pentagon of key missiles that are expensive to procure. Officials stress that Washington will continue to act against the Houthis to stop their attacks. Even as some warships left the Middle East earlier this month, other vessels have already moved in to take their place.
