Havana, Cuba CNN —For more than 60 years Cuba has buckled under US economic sanctions and its own government’s missteps. The son of Cuban exiles, Rubio has long made it his mission to ramp up the US trade embargo on Cuba. If confirmed, Secretary of State Rubio will face far more pressing issues like Russia’s war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and countering growing Chinese influence in the world, particularly in Latin America. As secretary of state, Rubio could run point on devising additional economic sanctions on Cuba, increasing funding for dissidents and pro-democracy programs that Havana considers tantamount to regime change, and further restricting US travel to Cuba. During the first Trump administration, “Rubio called the shots on Cuba,” a US diplomat who did want to be quoted by name told CNN.

President-elect Donald Trump's fresh tariff threats ignited fears of another high-stakes trade war. Berkshire Hathaway Chair and CEO Warren Buffett opined at length in 2018 and 2019 about the trade conflicts that erupted during Trump's first term. "If we actually have a trade war, it will be bad for the whole world … everything intersects in the world," Buffett said in a CNBC interview in 2019. Tariffs are "a tax on consumers," Buffett said. Others believe the U.S. could see a replay of punitive, retaliatory levies in a full-blown trade war from Trump's first term.

CNN —As many in Syria celebrated the end of the long rule of Bashar al-Assad, rumors swirled about his whereabouts. Assad has not been seen or heard from since rebels declared Damascus “liberated” after sweeping through the capital and seizing key sites. Since the uprising began, and the rebels rapidly advanced through the country, Assad has kept a low profile. On Saturday, as the rebels encircled Damascus, a source told CNN that Assad was nowhere to be found in the city. CNN cannot confirm whether Assad was on this flight.

CNN —The US government has imposed fresh export controls on the sale of high tech memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China. The rules apply to US-made high bandwidth memory (HBM) technology as well as foreign-produced ones. High bandwidth memory (HBM) are basically a stack of memory chips, small components that store data. Experts say the latest export restrictions will slow China’s development of AI chips and, at most stall, its access to HBM. Because AI applications require a lot of complex computing, such traits ensure that these applications run smoothly, without delays or glitches.

Many Parisians can tell you exactly what they were doing when they heard that Notre-Dame was burning five years ago. Many of them instinctively rushed toward the building, and lined the Seine River to watch in horror as flames devoured the ancient lead roof, sending the 19th-century wooden spire tumbling down, punching holes through the vaults and burning the pews below. Some dropped to their knees and prayed, but the cathedral is not just a sanctuary for the faithful. Nor — its millions of visitors a year notwithstanding — is it just a tourist attraction. Notre-Dame, as the crowds of stricken Parisians testified to on that April 2019 day, is the heart of their city, part of the essential fabric of its identity, and a part of them.
