Facebook Tweet Email Link In a surprising reversal of the United States’ years-long technology restrictions on China, President Donald Trump last month allowed Nvidia to resume sales of a key AI chip designed specifically for the Chinese market. Yet rather than celebrating, Beijing’s response has been noticeably lukewarm, despite having long urged Washington to ease the stringent export controls. In the weeks since the policy U-turn, Beijing has called the chip a security risk, summoned Nvidia for explanations and discouraged its companies from using it. The less-than-welcoming sentiment reflects Beijing’s drive to build a self-sufficient semiconductor supply chain – and…
Facebook Tweet Email Link New York — If there’s one thing the White House, Wall Street and Silicon Valley can agree on, it’s that artificial intelligence is a top priority. Tech giants are pouring billions into new data centers and infrastructure to support the technology. The White House came out with an AI action plan in July to boost America’s leadership in the space, underscoring the tech’s importance to the administration. Wall Street keeps pushing AI-related stocks like Nvidia (NVDA) to new records. But President Donald Trump’s trade war has raised questions about whether the administration’s policies could work against…
Facebook Tweet Email Link As negotiations over a potential deal to end the war in Ukraine intensify, much of the discussion has centered around a part of the country’s east that has long been at the heart of Russia’s goals. The Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk – collectively known as the Donbas – were an industrial powerhouse in the Soviet era, a place of coal mines and steel mills. But the Donbas region also has rich farmland, important rivers and a coastline on the Sea of Azov. Historically the Donbas was the most “Russian” part of Ukraine, with a…
Facebook Tweet Email Link Budapest — Every day, crowds flock to the Lukács Thermal Baths in Budapest, soaking in warm mineral-rich pools as yellow trams clatter along Frankel Leó Street. Most never suspect that just yards away, beneath the city’s historic streets, lies a hidden world: a vast underwater cave system heated by geothermal springs. From its entrance, tucked into the base of Rózsadomb — Rose Hill — an affluent neighborhood of elegant villas and tree-lined streets, the Molnár János Cave stretches for over 3.6 miles (5.8 kilometers) and plunges nearly 300 feet (90 meters) below the surface. Flooded with…
Facebook Tweet Email Link Rafah, Egypt — The displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip is a “red line” and Cairo will not allow any party to risk Egypt’s national security or sovereignty, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Monday. In an exclusive interview with CNN in the northern Egyptian town of Al-Arish, close to the Gaza border, Abdelatty said that Egypt is working through “different channels, with one objective, to alleviate the burden and suffering of Palestinians,” adding that mass Palestinian emigration from Gaza would not be tolerated by his country. “We will not accept it, we will…

To avert a high-stakes trial, the right-wing cable channel has agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $27 million this month and another $40 million in the next two years.

Facebook Tweet Email Link Hamas says it has agreed to a new ceasefire proposal from mediators for the war in Gaza, but details of the proposal remain unclear. Basem Naim, a senior member of Hamas’ political bureau, said on social media, “The movement has accepted the new proposal from the mediators. We pray that God extinguishes the fires of this war on our people.” It’s unclear to what new proposal Hamas is referring and who put it forward. An Israeli official told CNN that Israel had received the Hamas response from mediators. According to a diplomat briefed on the negotiations,…
Facebook Tweet Email Link For years, Donald Trump criticized presidents for empty threats. He often pointed to then-President Barack Obama failing to enforce his “red line” on Syria using chemical weapons. During his first term in 2017, Trump called it a “blank threat” that cost us “in many other parts of the world.” When Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, he intoned: “Today’s action sends a critical message: The United States no longer makes empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them.” When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Trump decried the Biden…
Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump is holding hastily arranged talks Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a host of European leaders — a rarity at the White House — as he seeks to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. Most diplomats surveyed by CNN couldn’t remember another example of presidents and prime ministers ripping up their schedules to rush to Washington for emergency talks. European officials said the last-minute decision to come to Washington reflected the urgency many leaders feel in aligning with Trump on ending the war — but also their concern that they…
Facebook Tweet Email Link President Donald Trump made some false claims to the press while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Monday, including a long-debunked claim that the US has given Ukraine more than $300 billion in wartime aid. “I guess the number is well over $300 billion,” Trump said at one point in his televised remarks. At another, he said, “Under Biden, it was just crazy what was going on. I believe the number is over $300 (billion). I think it could be $350 billion worth of equipment and money and everything else.” Those…
