16 January 2025

Very soon, Donald Trump will be back in the White House as the US President.

It's a change of power that's expected to have far-reaching consequences for the United States — and also for the rest of the world.

Leaders from America's neighbors, here in Europe, and other capitals around the globe are waiting to see what the new US president will do once he returns to the Oval Office.

During Trump's first term in office, he snubbed some of America's traditional European allies, and pursued closer ties with autocrats like the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump also famously said he wanted a better relationship with Russia. Now, Vladimir Putin's Russia is at war with its democratic neighbor Ukraine, and both sides are pinning their hopes for the future on the new US administration.

The onslaught was seen as instant revenge for Tuesday’s Ukrainian aerial strikes on Russia, the heaviest of the almost three year war. In particular, Putin was rattled by Ukraine’s use of British Storm Shadow and American ATACMS missiles which hit key defence facilities including a chemical plant in Bryansk region.

#finance #investment - US markets watchdog sues Musk over disclosure of Twitter stake • FRANCE 24 English

15 January 2025

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk for not disclosing his 5 percent stake in Twitter in a timely manner in early 2022, ahead of his takeover of the platform later that year.

The SEC says this created an artificially low stock price that deprived Twitter stock owners of as much as $150 million. Musk's attorney called the filing a ''sham".
