๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany needs new partners as global order changes

Germany must seek new partners in light of a changing global order, the countryโ€™s economy minister said on Tuesday, referring to deteriorated relations with the U.S. that have resulted in import tariffs.

โ€œThe world has become more uncertain, and alliances that we have trusted and relied on are beginning to crumble. That does not mean abandoning them, but rather continuing to work together, however challenging that may be in some cases, and above all seeking new partners,โ€ Katherina Reiche said at the Handelsblatt energy summit.


In particular, Reiche mentioned South America, India, the Middle East, Canada, Australia as well as countries in Asia, including Malaysia.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด Norway Accomplished a Near-Total EV Transition: almost 100 percent of new cars registered in November were electric

More than 97 percent of the new cars Norwegians registered in November 2025 were electric, almost reaching the countryโ€™s goal of 100 percent. As a result, the government has begun removing some of the many carrots it used to encourage its successful EV transition.

"Battery-electric vehicles have had exemptions from the 25 percent value-added tax and from the CO2- and weight-based registration tax that apply to combustion-engine vehicles. We used other tax incentives to encourage building charging stations on highways and in rural areas. Cities had the opportunity to exempt zero-emissions cars from toll roads. EV drivers also got reduced ferry fares, free parking, and access to bus lanes in many cities. The technology for the vehicles wasnโ€™t that good at the start of the incentives program, but we had the taxes and incentives to make traditional passenger cars more expensive," - said Cecilie Knibe Kroglund, state secretary in the countryโ€™s Ministry of Transport.


The Norwegian experience shows that the economic incentives work, but it also shows that EVs work even in a country with cold weather.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ Gunmen open fire at football match in Mexico, killing at least 11.

Gunmen opened fire at a football match in central Mexico on Sunday, killing at least 11 people and wounding 12, in the latest outburst of violence in Guanajuato state. The gunmen arrived at the end of a match. Ten people died at the scene and one died later at a hospital. A woman and a child were among 12 people injured in what Cรฉsar Prieto, the mayor of the town of Salamanca, called a โ€œregrettable and cowardlyโ€ attack. He said the attack was part of a crimewave in the city and appealed to the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, for help to control the violence.

The state prosecutorโ€™s office said it was investigating and coordinating with federal authorities to reinforce security in the area. Guanajuato has been for many years one of the most violent regions in the country, owing to turf wars between rival cartels.

Condolences to the victims. ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China gives green light to importing first batch of Nvidia's H200 AI chips.

China has approved its first batch of Nvidiaโ€™s H200 AI chips for import, marking a shift in position as China seeks to balance its AI needs against spurring domestic development.

The H200 is Nvidiaโ€™s second most powerful AI chip. The approval covers several hundred thousand H200 chips and was granted during Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huangโ€™s visit to China this week. The first batch of approvals has been allocated primarily to three major Chinese internet companies, with other enterprises now joining a queue for subsequent approvals.

๐Ÿค India and EU announce 'mother of all trade deals'

The European Union and India have announced a landmark trade deal.

"We did it, we delivered the mother of all deals," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at a media briefing in Delhi. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the pact "historic".


It will allow free trade of goods between the bloc of 27 European states and the world's most populous country, which together make up nearly 25% of global gross domestic product and a market of two billion people. The deal will see a number of huge tariff cuts across a range of goods and services, and a joint security partnership. Also the deal with the E.U. may help labour-intensive sectors in India such as shrimp farming, textiles, gems and jewellery. #BRICS

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต North Korea's Kim says upcoming party congress will unveil plans to bolster nuclear deterrent.

North Korea performed a live-fire drill of an upgraded large-caliber multiple rocket launcher system in the presence of Kim on Tuesday. The test launch was meant to enhance the effectiveness of the country's โ€œstrategic deterrent.โ€ KCNA said the launcher system's mobility and strike accuracy have been improved.

Experts say North Koreaโ€™s large-sized rocket launchers blur the boundaries between artillery systems and ballistic missiles because they can create their own thrust and are guided during delivery. North Korea has said some of these systems are capable of delivering nuclear warheadsw.

Trump doesnโ€™t like the fact that Pretty had a fully loaded gun (two magazines were with him). But nobody knows when they saw the gun, how they saw the gun, everything else.

"We're doing a big investigation. I want to see the investigation. I'm going to be watching over it. I want a very honorable and honest investigation โ€” I have to see it myself,"- Trump also told to reporters. โ€œI love everybody. I love all of our people. I love his family โ€” and it's a very sad situation." ๐Ÿ˜ข

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday said President Donald Trump "absolutely" supports the Second Amendment rights of "law-abiding" citizens

โ€There has been no greater supporter or defender of the right to bear arms than President Donald J. Trump,โ€ - Karoline Leavitt said. โ€œAmericans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations, and any gun owner knows that when you are carrying a weapon, when you are bearing arms and confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you. Thatโ€™s unfortunately what took place on Saturday.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Trump warns Iran 'time is running out' for nuclear deal as US military builds up in Gulf

Donald Trump has warned Iran that "time is running out" to negotiate a deal on its nuclear programme following the steady build-up of US military forces in the Gulf. The US president said a "massive Armada" was "moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose" towards Iran, referring to a large US naval force.

In response, Iran's mission to the UN said Tehran "stands ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests", but if pushed, it wrote in all capitals, it would defend itself and "respond like never before". Iran insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful and has repeatedly denied accusations by the US and its allies that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

"Hopefully Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS," Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social.

A lot of that going to working families based on the president's signature policies. No tax and tips, no tax and overtime, no tax and Social Security, deductibility of auto loans for American made cars. So it's going to be a big refund season!"

๐ŸŽ๏ธ Tesla reveals $2 billion investment in Elon Muskโ€™s xAI and officially kills the Model S and Model X.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sprang several eye-popping surprises on shareholders, including a $2 billion Tesla investment in one of his own companies (the artificial intelligence firm xAI), and the abrupt elimination of two of the companyโ€™s car models, the Model S and the Model X. The company will make the final versions of both electric vehicles next quarter.

โ€œItโ€™s time to basically bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge, because weโ€™re really moving into a future that is based on autonomy,โ€ he said. โ€œSo if youโ€™re interested in buying a Model S and X, now would be the time to order it.โ€


In place of the discontinued car models, Musk said that Tesla will use the freed up factory space to build Optimus robots, a still largely experimental line of humanoid robots that Musk says will eventually perform everything from household chores to surgery.

๐Ÿค Starmer and Xi hail a reset in ties, helped by large AstraZeneca investment

Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer and China's President Xi Jinping hailed a reset of ties on Thursday, pledging to build an economic partnership with deals including a major investment by AstraZeneca. The British premier held up a plan by AstraZeneca to pioneer new medicines by investing $15 billion in its Chinese operations as proof of the benefits that could flow to both countries.

"China is a vital player on the global stage, and it's vital that we build a more sophisticated relationship where we can identify opportunities to collaborate, but of course, also allow a meaningful dialogue on areas where we disagree," Starmer told Xi at the start of their meeting.


The British leader told reporters he had made progress in discussions with Beijing to reduce tariffs on whisky, and announced a new agreement whereby Britons visiting China for less than 30 days would no longer need a visa. #BRICS
