Christie también acusó a Trump de una “vanidad desbocada” durante los primeros minutos del evento.Sus comentarios marcaron el tono de la velada y dejaron claro que Christie –quien se apoyó en su propia experiencia como exfiscal federal– ve su papel en las primarias republicanas de 2024 como el principal crítico de Trump, dispuesto a enfrentarse al favorito de la contienda, mientras la mayoría de los demás aspirantes eluden la confrontación.Chris Christie, exgobernador de Nueva Jersey, se suma a la contienda por la candidatura presidencial republicana para 2024“Estoy convencido de que si (Trump) vuelve a la Casa Blanca, en los próximos cuatro años todo girará en torno a él ajustando cuentas”, dijo el exgobernador.“Ha demostrad...

What Giorgia learned from Silvio

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:35 GMT

When she arrives at Milan’s spectacular gothic Duomo cathedral for Silvio Berlusconi’s state funeral on Wednesday, Giorgia Meloni will be among the most prominent of the mourners. The very fact that Meloni is prime minister — Italy’s first woman to hold the post — owes a lot to Berlusconi’s own influence. He gave Meloni her first big break in frontline politics, making her the youngest government minister in Italian history at age 31 in 2008. Then last year, he was instrumental in triggering the downfall of Mario Draghi’s premiership, convening a meeting of right-wingers over lunch at his luxurious villa, at which they all agreed to vote against the government. And again after Draghi’s demise, it was Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party, now a moderate centre-right movement, that allied with Meloni’s far-right group in a coalition deal that put her in power. But aside from being Meloni’s useful partner in the business of gaining power, Berlusconi provided the te...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:35 GMT

On May 31 2023, the U.S. and the EU wrapped up the fourth Trade and Technology Council, committing to foster the development of joint standards around next-generation mobile telecommunications and electric vehicle charging. Since the very first TTC meeting in 2021, standards have been at the heart of discussions, and the Luleå meeting was no different. As part of the meeting’s joint statement, an annex dedicated to 6G reiterated the importance of ensuring transatlantic leadership in the future of communications standards. TTC negotiators have good reason to prioritize connectivity standards. Global cellular technology standards are the foundation of all aspects of our society and global economy — facilitating market access and acting as a catalyst for further technological innovation. Indeed, macroeconomic analysis estimates that their economic contribution accounts for between 7.4 percent and 63.6 percent of GDP growth across different geographies and periods.Cellular standards are...
