Des Moines, Iowa (CNN) — El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, dijo que planea “contragolpear” los ataques del expresidente Donald Trump, tras iniciar su campaña de 2024 en Iowa este martes.El gobernador de Florida se burló implícitamente de su principal rival en su primer evento oficial de campaña. Pero hablando con los periodistas después del evento, tuvo mucho que decir sobre Trump, descargando una serie de golpes diseñados para presentarlo como un hombre egoísta, sin principios y mezquino.“Creo que nuestros votantes están viendo esto y dicen, sí, apreciamos lo que hizo, pero también reconocemos que hay muchos votantes que nunca votarán por él”, dijo DeSantis a periodistas este martes. “Conozco gente en Florida que votó en mi contra en el 2018 y a mi favor en 2022. Dijeron en el 2018: ‘Pensé que te parecías demasiado a él y en el 22 nos dimos cuenta de que eras tu propio tipo, lo haremos’”.DeSantis dijo que cree que los constantes ataques de Trump contra él fi...

NOAA anticipates near-average Atlantic Hurricane Season: Find out the projected number of storms

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:08:44 GMT

(CNN) — This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be near average, officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.Forecasters at the agency are predicting 12 to 17 named tropical storms, five to nine of which could become hurricanes. They expect as many of four of those could strengthen into major hurricanes – category 3 or stronger.The last time there were fewer than the average of 14 named storms was in 2015. Hurricane season technically begins June 1, though storms have developed before that date in the past.“As we saw with Hurricane Ian, it only takes one hurricane to cause widespread devastation and upend lives. So regardless of the number of storms predicted this season, it is critical that everyone understand their risk and heed the warnings of state and local officials,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said at a news conference. “Whether you live on the coast or further inland, hurricanes can cause serious impacts to everybody ...

Why the nation’s banks will lose even if Biden avoids default

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:08:44 GMT

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is warning of the “catastrophic” impact that a debt default would have on the U.S.But even if Washington averts disaster and raises the debt ceiling, the nation’s banks — and President Joe Biden’s economy — are likely to feel some pain.Financial institutions, already reeling from the stunning failure of three regional lenders since March, are likely to face a drain on deposits and less cash in the banking system as a whole as Yellen’s Treasury suddenly cranks up borrowing. Thatwill squeeze their ability to lend to businesses and consumers, especially coming on top of pressure the banks are feeling from the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hike campaign.The threat of more banking turmoil is heightening the chances that the economy will slip into a recession heading into the presidential election year, creating a challenge for Biden as he campaigns for a second term.“Even if we assume that history repeats itself, and the debt limit is raised at the las...

With Erdoğan back, Sweden presses Turkey again on NATO bid 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:08:44 GMT

LULEÅ, Sweden — Sweden has met all of its commitments to join NATO and expects to become part of the transatlantic military alliance by July, Tobias Billström, the country’s foreign minister, told POLITICO.Speaking on the sidelines of the EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council summit, Billström said Stockholm had assuaged all of the concerns from Turkey, an existing NATO member which has held up Sweden’s application over concerns about its support for Kurdish groups which Ankara considers to be terrorist entities. Longtime leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan secured a new term as Turkish president on Sunday. Sweden’s tweaks included updating its domestic terrorism legislation, which will come into effect on June 1, to include lengthy prison terms for individuals convicted of participating in extremist organizations in ways that promote such groups. That is a veiled reference to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has a following in Sweden but is banned in Tu...

‘Robustly transparent’ or ‘really slippery’? UK ministers dispute WhatsApp disclosures in COVID inquiry

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:08:44 GMT

LONDON — Get ready for another three years of this.With the coronavirus pandemic over, the U.K.’s official inquiry into it — expected to run until 2026 — has yet to hold a single public hearing. But it’s already embroiled in a bitter disclosure dispute with the government over whether to hand over ministers’ private WhatsApp messages and notebooks.The post-mortem will drag on past the next general election, as confirmed Tuesday. It’s expected to call on senior figures from a series of British governments, roving over the state’s preparedness for the virus, decision-making by ministers and officials, the way public contracts were handed out, and how the country got jabs in arms.Yet before any of that, there’s the small matter of what the inquiry will actually be allowed to see.In a series of interviews Wednesday morning, Cabinet minister Mel Stride said the government will be “absolutely robustly transparent where it is appropriate to be so.”“I thi...
