Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) on Monday said President Trump will likely not heed calls from technology leaders to implement guardrails on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) because of his family’s investments in the industry. The Georgia Democrat pointed to venture capitalist firm 1789 Capital, where Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. is a partner,...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is widely expected to lift its short-term interest rate Wednesday for the first time in three years to fight stubbornly high inflation, a move that would put the central bank at odds with President Donald Trump's support for a cut. A quarter-point increase in the Fed's rate, currently about...

A putrid stench blanketed the area as about a dozen fishing boats docked one by one at Dara Port in Sanyang-eup, Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province. Every deck was piled high with dead fish. Most were cold-water species, such as Korean rockfish and grey mullet, but there were also considerable numbers of warm-water fish, including filefish. Groups of three or four men boarded the boats and shoveled the carcasses into an excavator bucket to be hauled ashore. Despite their nonstop work, it took more than half an hour to empty a single boat of dead fish. “This is the sixth boatload of dead fish from our farm alone today. More than 30 percent of the fish at our one-hectare cage farm have died, and we’ve already lost more than 500 million won ($371,500),” said one fish farmer with resignation as he watched the carcasses being unloaded. “I’ve been farming fish for 38 years, but with sea temperatures rising each year and losses snowballing like this, I don’t know how we’re going to hold on.” 13.53 million fish dead due to rising sea temperatures Soaring sea temperatures during t
With Hoban Group’s stake in Hanjin KAL nearly matching that of Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae and his interested parties, Delta Air Lines and Japan Airlines (JAL) are emerging as potentially crucial allies in maintaining the Cho family's control of Korean Air. As Hoban closes in on Cho’s stake in Hanjin KAL, Korean Air’s controlling shareholder is counting on its old ally, Delta Air Lines, to help hold the line. Delta owns a 14.9 percent stake in Hanjin KAL, making it one of the largest shareholders and a key pillar of Cho’s shareholder base. The U.S. carrier has also maintained a deep strategic relationship with Korean Air for years, and is widely considered to stand in favor of Cho’s leadership. That support could become increasingly important as the ownership structure tightens. Hoban now owns 20.15 percent of Hanjin KAL, just 0.42 percentage point below Cho and his related parties. The gap is small enough to turn every major shareholder into a potential kingmaker, particularly as Korea Development Bank (KDB) still holds a 10.58 percent stake and has yet to decide when an
