China and US partners are moving closer as Trump returns to the White House

SUMMARY: As Donald Trump returns to the White House, China’s relations with countries like Japan, India, and the UK, once strengthened by Biden’s efforts, are improving. While Trump’s approach might challenge U.S. alliances, especially through controversial statements, China sees an opportunity to mend ties and boost economic cooperation. Beijing’s relationship with Japan and India, though improving, faces challenges, particularly over territorial disputes. Meanwhile, European nations like the UK and France are cautiously engaging with China. Trump’s rhetoric has caused unease, but some see it as a chance to recalibrate diplomatic strategies with China, despite differences over global leadership.

15 years after Deepwater Horizon oil spill, lawsuits stall and restoration is incomplete

SUMMARY: Fifteen years after the Deepwater Horizon spill, its effects persist in the Gulf Coast. BP paid billions in damages, funding coastal restoration projects, but health-related lawsuits from cleanup workers and locals have struggled in court, with few compensations. Environmental efforts have made progress, with over 300 restoration projects worth $5.38 billion. However, a flagship land-creation project in Louisiana has stalled, sparking controversy over its effects on local industries. Additionally, the Trump administration plans to expand offshore drilling despite warnings about the legacy of the spill. Environmental advocates remain concerned about the future of the Gulf’s restoration.
