Former Secretary of State of the United States (held this position under Donald Trump) Mike Pompeo has become an expert for Fox News Media, the organization said.

He will be engaged in analytics in programs aired on the Fox News and Fox Business channels, according to the TV company’s website.

Pompeo, who is a diplomat, civil servant, entrepreneur, and lawyer, will be engaged in analytics on Fox News Media platforms, including in the daytime and evening programs of Fox News and Fox Business, the report says.

For the first time, Pompeo will appear as a full-time pundit on FOX & Friends, which will be released on April 9. He promised to provide viewers with “ an honest and balanced opinion on issues related to geopolitics and international relations.”

On the eve of the former US President Donald Trump, as well as a number of supporters of the Republican Party, joined the new social platform Campaign Nucleus, which was created by a former adviser to the Trump campaign staff Brad Parscale.

Instagram Facebook, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, and Twitter have previously blocked Trump’s accounts for various periods of time because of his statements about the riots in Washington on January 6.

However, Trump plans to start posting on social media again in the coming months. According to an aide to the former American leader, Jason Miller, Trump “will return to social media in two or three months.” It will be published “on its own platform”, which will attract “tens of millions” of people. According to Miller, this will “completely change the rules of the game.”

Between the USA and China have promised a new economic war

The next economic war between the United States and China will be related to the problems of climate change, experts promised. Reported by CNBC.

Bank of America’s managing director for research, Haim Israel, suggests that the “climate war” between Washington and Beijing will follow the technology and trade wars, as climate change will become the dominant economic and political theme in the coming decades. “It’s not just about saving the planet. We believe that climate strategies offer a path to global excellence because there is much more at stake here, ” he concluded.

The advantage in the production of electric vehicles will also be important. “So far, about half of the oil goes to the transport market, and cars make up the bulk of it,” Israel said. The expert is confident that whoever becomes the leader in the production of electric vehicles will definitely have a huge advantage in the future. So far, the market is ruled by the American Tesla, but competitors from China are already stepping on its heels.

Under Donald Trump, a trade war broke out between the United States and China, and tensions remain under the administration of new President Joe Biden. In February, he said that the United States is working with the European Union to fight China and resist its “economic abuse and coercion.” Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Biden said the US and its foreign partners should “make China accountable for its economic practices.”

However, experts are confident that the United States will be richer than China for several decades, judging by GDP per capita. According to the latest data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), China’s GDP per capita last year was projected at $10,582, which is about six times less than in the United States.

In the US, transgender people were again allowed to serve in the army

The US Department of Defense has approved new rules for the admission of transgender people to serve in the US Armed Forces, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters.

He stressed that the innovations are aimed at restoring the policy adopted by the Pentagon in 2016 regarding the transgender service.

“The Secretary of Defense US Lloyd Austin is convinced that the entry into the ranks of the Armed Forces of any Americans who meet the high standards of military service is only good for them [the Armed Forces],” he said at a briefing on Wednesday, March 31, which was broadcast on Twitter by the Defense Department.

In 2016, Barack Obama, who at that time led the United States, allowed transgender people to openly enlist in the Armed Forces and receive the necessary medical care.

However, the next president, Donald Trump, reversed this decision in July 2017. And then, due to the blocking of the decision by the courts of four states, issued another memorandum of prohibition in 2018.

On January 25, the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, signed a decree canceling the restrictions imposed by the previous administration.

Biden in an interview calls Putin a murderer

Joseph Berry Leave a comment

US President Joe Biden said he considered Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer”. He said this, answering a question from ABC News presenter George Stephanopoulos.

The question concerned an investigation into cyberattacks involving Russia and an intelligence report that identified Russia’s attempts to influence the outcome of the US presidential election.

“You will see the price he will pay soon,” the US president said of Putin.

Biden recalled a meeting with Putin, during which he told him that he had no soul.

The US President answered in the affirmative to the journalist’s clarifying question about whether he considers Putin to be a murderer.

As reported, US National Intelligence has established that the Russian Federation was trying to influence the US presidential election in 2020 by denigrating Joe Biden and backing then-President Donald Trump.

The administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing a package of sanctions against at least three foreign states that have attempted to interfere in the presidential elections and parts of the United States Congress last year.

There are more US troops in Afghanistan than the Pentagon says — NYT

Joseph Berry Leave a comment

There is a thousand more American military personnel in the country than official sources say.

On the territory of Afghanistan, there are about 3.5 thousand US troops, while according to official data — 2.5 thousand. This is stated in the material of The New York Times, published on Sunday, March 14.

So, sources of the publication in the United States, Europe, and Afghanistan inform that about a thousand American military personnel are in the mentioned country unofficially.

In addition, the publication is convinced that this is a standard practice of the Pentagon — downplaying the actual volume of US forces stationed abroad — and therefore the relevant data is classified by the defense leadership.

As the newspaper informs, at its request, a Pentagon representative said that 2.5 thousand of their military are still stationed in Afghanistan.

Recall that the number of US military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq was reduced to 2.5 thousand people in January this year by order of former US President Donald Trump.
