Fox News: Donald Trump claimed he would help American workers. Now, he’s betraying them
In his first month in office, President Trump has shifted focus from supporting American workers to aligning with billionaires, notably Elon Musk. His administration's actions, including undermining the National Labor Relations Board and pushing for tax cuts for the wealthy, threaten worker protections and wages.
Trump's agenda, dubbed Project 2025, aims to dismantle labor agreements and limit overtime pay, while also cutting essential programs like Medicaid. Critics argue that this approach prioritizes corporate interests over the needs of low- and middle-income Americans, raising concerns about the future of worker rights.

The Telegraph: North Koreans forced to work on Chinese ships ‘without touching land for 10 years’
North Korean workers have reportedly been subjected to forced labor on Chinese-flagged fishing vessels for up to a decade, enduring severe abuse and harsh conditions without ever reaching land. This situation persists despite UN sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's foreign currency earnings.
The Environmental Justice Foundation's report highlights the ongoing violations of these sanctions, suggesting that both China and Russia are evading their obligations. The findings indicate that the exploitation of North Korean labor at sea is alarmingly severe, exceeding abuses typically seen in the global fishing industry.
