Höga räntekostnader slår mot USA:s finanser

De höga amerikanska räntorna tär på landets finanser. USA:s finansminister Janet Yellen varnar för att räntekostnaderna äter upp en allt större kaka av statsbudgeten och att statens intäkter därmed behöver öka.

Tucker Carlson skyller orkaner – på aborter: "Jag måste säga det"

Tucker Carlson skyller orkaner – på aborter: "Jag måste säga det"

Det är i Donald Trumps tidigare chefsstrateg Steve Bannons podcast ”War Room” som Tucker Carlson kommer in på abortfrågan. Han inleder med att kalla USA:s finansminister Janet Yellen för ”dvärg”, och anklagar henne för att förespråka abort av ekonomiska skäl innan han beskriver abort som ett straff från gud. – Jag måste säga det, jag kommer bli attackerad för att jag säger det, men jag tror det. Folk tänker ’åh, en till orkan, det måste bero på global uppvärmning’. Men nej! Det handlar förmodligen om abort, egentligen. Man kan inte döda barn med flit. Man kan inte delta i offrande av mänskligt liv utan konsekvenser, säger han i podcasten. Stödjer Trump öppet Tucker Carlson var länge en av den konservativa TV-kanalen Fox News allra största profiler, men lämnade i fjol. Detta efter ett uppmärksammat mål där kanalen stämdes av rösträkningsföretaget Dominion, som hävdade att anställda på kanalen visste om att Trumps påståenden om valfusk efter förlusten 2020 var osanna – men fortsatte framföra dem ändå. Carlson stödjer Trump öppet och har figurerat i hans kampanj. Högsta domstolen rev upp den nationella rätten till abort 2022, och frågan är en av de viktigaste i det amerikanska valet, som avgörs under natten till onsdag.

Nestlé är fortsatt verksamma i Ryssland – sponsrar kriget enligt Ukraina

Kievs antikorruptionsmyndighet meddelade på torsdagen att det multinationella bolaget Nestlé, med högkvarter i Schweiz, hamnar på den ukrainska listan över "sponsorer av krig". Anledningen är att Nestlé fortsätter att verka i Ryssland.

"Trots rysk aggression har Nestlé verksamhet i Ryssland, det förser aggressorn med varor och utökar produktionsbasen i Ryssland", skriver den ukrainska myndigheten i ett uttalande.

"Slutat investera"

Nestlé hänvisar, enligt nyhetsbyrån AFP, till en tidigare kommentar om anklagelsen. Där säger bolaget att man drastiskt minskat verksamheten i Ryssland, stoppat nya investeringar och avbrutit annonsering i landet.

Företaget säger också att man "helt följer alla tillämpliga internationella sanktioner".

På sin hemsida skriver Nestlé att "vi står helt bakom Ukrainas folk och våra 5 500 anställda där".

Bland de produkter som Nestlé saluför finns mat, kaffe, vattenprodukter och efterrätter.

Nya sanktioner

USA skärper samtidigt insatserna för att strypa tillförseln av produkter till Ryssland. Finansdepartementet i Washington DC meddelade på torsdagen att 130 företag och privatpersoner sätts upp på sanktionslistan. Sanktionerna rör företag och personer i främst Kina, Turkiet och Förenade arabemiraten.

Bland de mer utmärkande insatserna nämns sanktioner mot den turkiske medborgaren Berk Turken och hans företag som misstänks stå rysk underrättelsetjänst nära.

Transportbolag och rederier i Förenade arabemiraten anklagas för att ha fört datorteknik och reservdelar för flygindustrin till Ryssland.

"Dagens beslut visar vår fortsatta vilja att störa varje del i Rysslands militära försörjningskedja, och att rikta in oss på utomstående aktörer som stödjer den ryska krigsinsatsen", skrev USA:s finansminister Janet Yellen i samband med beslutet.

Janet Yellen single-handedly obliterated the value of your bitcoin

In recent comments about Bitcoin, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says that Bitcoin is a highly inefficient asset that is often involved in illegal activities.  Yellen also says that Bitcoin leaves a massive carbon footprint and isn't being used for transactions on a regular basis.   Yellen's remarks about Bitcoin drove the price down, with Bitcoin trading at just $53,000, after a recent surge in the price that occured last week.  The reason for Yellen's odd remarks about bitcoin seem to center around the fact that the government plans to offer an alternative digital currency to replace #bitcoin.  So, her remarks about bitcoin being dangerous, volatile, illiquid and illicit appear to be driven by ulterior motives.
