Mark Zuckerberg dined with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Wednesday, marking a significant step in mending their historically strained relationship. The Meta CEO, whose company oversees Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, expressed gratitude for the invitation and discussed the incoming administration with Trump's team. Stephen Miller, Trump's incoming deputy chief of staff for policy, stated that Zuckerberg is eager to support what he termed the "national renewal of America" under Trump's leadership. This meeting follows a period of tension, particularly after Facebook banned Trump following the January 6 Capitol attack. In the lead-up to the recent election, Zuckerberg had shifted Meta's focus away from political content and halted election-related philanthropy, despite previously investing heavily in electoral infrastructure during the pandemic. The presence of Elon Musk at the dinner remains uncertain, although he has frequently visited Mar-a-Lago since Trump's election victory. 
Published: Nov 28 2024, 10 ameznews.inSeveral nominees for President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet faced bomb threats and "swatting" incidents this week, prompting swift action from law enforcement to ensure their safety, according to transition team spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. While bomb threats are relatively common, swatting—a practice involving false emergency reports aimed at eliciting a heavily armed police response—is a growing concern. The FBI confirmed it is investigating multiple threats targeting incoming administration figures and highlighted that swatting is often linked to harassment or revenge, especially within online gaming communities. Law enforcement experts warn that these incidents can have serious consequences, as they may involve SWAT teams responding to what they believe is a real emergency. The FBI is enhancing its investigative techniques to combat this alarming trend, emphasizing that swatting not only endangers targeted individuals but also innocent bystanders.

Published: Nov 28 2024, 12 pmeznews.inNuuk, the capital of Greenland, has inaugurated a new international airport featuring a 2,200-meter runway, enabling larger aircraft to connect the region with global destinations. This development is anticipated to boost Greenland's tourism sector, which currently attracts about 130,000 visitors annually via cruise ships and planes. Jens Lauridsen, CEO of Greenland Airports, highlighted that each flight could contribute approximately $200,000 to the national economy, although he cautioned that visitors should expect an "adventure" rather than a typical tourism experience. Starting in June, United Airlines will launch seasonal nonstop flights from major US cities, reducing travel time to just over four hours. The airport will serve as a hub for Air Greenland, facilitating flights to Copenhagen and Reykjavik. By the end of 2026, two additional airports are planned to further enhance connectivity within Greenland, where extensive travel by air or boat remains essential due to limited paved roads.
Published: Nov 28 2024, 12 pmeznews.inThe White House has urged Ukraine to bolster its military recruitment efforts, suggesting a reduction in the draft age from 25 to 18 to address a critical manpower shortage in the ongoing war against Russia.

While Zelenskiy has dismissed the idea, asserting that there is no necessity to change the draft age, the Biden administration is preparing to enhance Ukraine's military capabilities before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Despite Trump's commitment to expedite an end to the conflict, the situation remains precarious as Russian forces advance. White House spokesman John Kirby reaffirmed the US's commitment to providing military aid, emphasizing that while weapons are crucial, increasing troop numbers is currently paramount. The Biden administration plans to deliver significant military supplies using pre-allocated funds in its final days.

Published: Nov 28 2024, 12 pmeznews.inA viral video purportedly showing a cloud falling from the sky in Indonesia has been debunked by local authorities. The footage, which features men in uniforms rushing towards a white substance, sparked widespread speculation on social media. However, the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) confirmed that the white mass is not a natural cloud but rather a condensation of water vapor or gas, likely resulting from industrial activity in the Kalimantan province. Reports indicate that this phenomenon occurred in an industrial area, with local authorities clarifying that the substance was created by the condensation of pollutants. BMKG's director explained that clouds, composed of light water droplets, cannot fall to the ground as dense clumps.
