New York CNN —More than 33,000 Boeing employees ended their strike a month ago. But planes have only just recently started moving along the assembly lines that were idled by the two-month work stoppage. The FAA then placed limits on how many of the Max jets Boeing could build. Two of those jets were 787 Dreamliners built at its non-union plant in South Carolina that never went on strike. For November, coming out of the strike, it booked 49 gross orders, although that was reduced by 14 cancellations.

The case for Donald Trump’s tariffs
  + stars: | 2024-12-10 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Moore, who used to unabashedly favor free trade, said Trump convinced him that tariffs can be used as a negotiating tool. Trump’s recent threat to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada got the immediate attention of Ottawa. It’s possible that Trump 2.0 uses tariffs, or at least the threat that he’ll impose tariffs, to get Mexico, Canada, China or other countries to address legitimate issues such as drug trafficking. Even Moore conceded that using tariffs to threaten BRICS nations is a “very, very flawed strategy” by Trump. During Trump’s first term, everything from US autos and soybeans to whiskey were targeted with retaliatory tariffs.

New York CNN —A federal judge in Oregon blocked Kroger’s proposed $25 billion tie-up with Albertsons, ruling that the largest merger in US supermarket history would limit competition and harm consumers. Small grocery stores strugglingIndependent grocery stores strongly opposed the merger. Yet consolidation in the grocery sector is growing, and small grocery stores are struggling. Traditional grocery stores have also lost ground to Walmart, Costco, dollar stores and online retailers during that span. “Persistently high food prices are hitting Americans hard, and a Kroger-Albertsons mega-merger would have only made it worse,” Food & Water Watch senior food policy analyst Rebecca Wolf said in a statement Tuesday

DAMASCUS, Syria — Jubilant Syrians waving flags clambered Monday onto a government tank abandoned in the capital city's main square and took selfies. Then they chained it to the back of a truck and dragged it through the streets past cheering crowds. Hours after Assad fled, HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani arrived at a Damascus mosque wearing military fatigues. Still, President Joe Biden on Sunday declared, "At long last, the Assad regime has fallen." “We will engage with all Syrian groups, including within the process led by the United Nations, to establish a transition away from the Assad regime," he said.

Melbourne, Australia AP —Australia announced a multimillion-dollar agreement with Nauru on Monday that gives Canberra a veto right over a range of pacts the tiny Pacific atoll might want to enter with third countries, including China. Australia offered 140 million Australian dollars ($89 million) over five years to the remote nation’s population of 12,000 under the treaty to be implemented next year, including 40 million Australian dollars ($26 million) to enhance policing and security. “The treaty allows Australia to strengthen regional ties and cement its leading role as the development and security partner of choice,” she said. A key part of the deal is that Nauru will retain an Australian bank. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia will open a branch in Nauru next year after Australia’s Bendigo Bank withdraws from the country.

Taipei/Hong Kong CNN —Multiple formations of Chinese naval and coast guard vessels are moving in waters around the Taiwan Strait and the Western Pacific, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Monday, as the island braces for potential military drills by Beijing. Taiwan’s armed forces had identified Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) vessels from the Eastern, Northern, and Southern Theater Command, as well as Coast Guard vessels entering the areas, the ministry said in statement. A senior Taiwan official told CNN that China’s current naval deployment is larger than those in its two previous rounds of military drills around the island earlier this year. In May, days after Lai’s inauguration, China launched two days of large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan in what it called “punishment” for so-called “separatist acts.” It called those drills “Joint Sword-2024A.”China then conducted “Joint-Sword-2024B” drills in October, after Lai said during a National Day address that the island was “not subordinate” to China. The latest military movement by China appears to differ from those two drills, the Taiwan official noted.

Homicide rates are nearly four times as those in the United States, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography. In the United States, you can apply at the Netherlands embassy in Washington or at the consulates-general in Miami, New York or San Francisco. In addition, as with Costa Rica, Panama also does not have a tax treaty with the United States. It’s also a long way away from the United States, which can be tricky for visits to see loved ones. Cons: As is the case in Mexico and other countries with large expat communities, there’s growing backlash against the influx of foreigners, especially Americans, and especially in Lisbon.

Testament to the horror of that regime were scenes of jubilant celebration as rebel forces took control of Syrian cities. Bashar al-Assad, center, is seen during the closing session of the ruling Baath party congress in Damascus, Syria, on June 20, 2000. Bashar al-Assad was then thrust into the national spotlight and studied military science, later becoming a colonel in the Syrian army. They then turned to outright condemnation of the regime after he met the 2011 pro-democracy groundswell with brutal force.

Washington CNN —President-elect Donald Trump repeated numerous false claims during an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” – including his old lie that the US is the world’s only country with birthright citizenship. Crime: Trump falsely claimed, “Crime is at an all-time high.” That is nowhere close to true. Trump and inflation: Trump falsely claimed that, during his presidency, “We had no inflation.” In fact, cumulative inflation during Trump’s presidency was about 8%. Venezuela, migration and prisoners: Trump repeated his regular tale about how Venezuela has supposedly emptied prisons to allow criminals to migrate to the US. Trump and Obamacare: Trump claimed, “I am the one that saved Obamacare.” This is misleading at best.

Southern Resident orcas are a single population of killer whales made up of three close-knit family groups, or pods: J pod, K pod and L pod. Other killer whales feed on fish, octopus and marine mammals, but the diet of Southern Resident whales is almost entirely salmon. Another orca wearing a salmon hat was photographed during a 2019 survey by the marine conservation group Ocean Wise. Even if J27’s fish-wearing doesn’t signal a return of salmon hats among the Southern Resident orcas, what does the behavior mean? In fact, strong social connections between Southern Resident orcas might explain why salmon-wearing became so popular in 1987, Garrett added.

SEOUL, South Korea — Lawmakers in South Korea are set to vote Saturday on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after he plunged the country into chaos by declaring emergency martial law only to lift the order hours later under intense pressure from lawmakers and the public. Biden administration officials said they were not notified in advance that Yoon would declare martial law. South Korea is facing significant political turmoil after Yoon declared martial law, only to lift the order hours later. Ezra Acayan / Getty ImagesThe U.S. relationship with South Korea “transcends any particular president or government on both sides of the Pacific Ocean,” State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said Thursday. A martial law proclamation issued after Yoon’s address banned all political activity, including demonstrations, and censored the news media.

SEOUL, South Korea — When South Koreans came out to defend democracy this week in the face of a surprise martial law declaration by their president, history was weighing heavily on their minds. South Korea, a key U.S. ally, is the world’s 10th-largest economy and a vibrant Asian democracy in a region where authoritarianism is on the rise. But the country of 50 million people spent decades under military-authoritarian rule, with martial law frequently declared and those who resisted it sometimes killed. But then they ended up at the National Assembly.”Their job was to prevent lawmakers from entering, since the legislature’s operations had been banned under the martial law proclamation. Historically, “whenever South Korean authoritarian leaders wanted to declare martial law, they typically sought at least some kind of tacit approval from Washington,” Jo said.
