Fox News: James Carville compares law firms, powerful groups cooperating with Trump to Nazi collaborators
Democratic strategist James Carville likened those cooperating with the Trump administration to Nazi collaborators, warning of potential societal backlash similar to post-WWII Europe. He criticized law firms and corporations aiding Trump, calling them "anti-patriotic" and suggesting they may face public scorn.
Carville's comments reflect his disdain for Trump's agenda, labeling it a "nightmare." He specifically mentioned the Perkins Coie law firm and Amazon's Jeff Bezos as examples of "collaborators." While he does not endorse violent retribution, he implied that historical consequences for collaborators could serve as a warning.
Fox News: ‘Deep ties to the CCP’: Meet the vaping lobbyist ramping up pressure on Trump to save 'illicit' vape industry
Tony Abboud, executive director of the Vapor Technology Association, is under scrutiny for his ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while lobbying for the vaping industry. Despite previously supporting Trump, concerns arise over his connections with the CCP and Democratic Party, raising alarms among Republican operatives.

Breitbart: Record Low of 14 Per Cent Approve of British Labour Party Government
The Labour Party in Britain, led by Sir Keir Starmer, has reached its lowest approval rating since last year's election, with only 14% of the public approving of its performance. Key issues include economic management and rising illegal migration, with recent welfare cuts causing discontent among left-wing supporters.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves' announcement of significant welfare cuts has been perceived as a betrayal, while Labour's failure to effectively address illegal immigration has benefitted the Reform UK party, which is now closely trailing Labour in polls.

Le Monde: French restaurants experience rising failure rate amidst customer confidence crisis
Eddy Zouari, a former restaurant owner in Paris, reflects on the struggles faced by the dining industry due to shifts in consumer behavior and remote work. His brasserie, which opened in 2020, failed to thrive as patrons opted for cheaper meal options and limited their spending on extras.
Zouari has since transitioned to teaching culinary skills, highlighting the challenges restaurateurs face as dining habits change. The industry's reliance on additional sales for profit is increasingly jeopardized by customers' cautious spending.

Bob Sternfels, CEO of McKinsey & Company, attended the China Development Forum in Beijing, which is backed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His participation, alongside other U.S. business leaders, raises concerns among lawmakers regarding McKinsey's ties to the Chinese military and previous allegations of misrepresentation about its work in China.

Lawmakers are considering legislation to prevent firms with ties to adversaries like China from obtaining federal contracts.

Le Monde: Januar Land Rover suspends shipments to US in April over tariffs
Jaguar Land Rover is pausing shipments to the U.S. in response to a 25% import tax imposed by the Trump Administration. The company aims to address new trading terms while the UK automotive industry faces challenges from declining domestic demand and the transition to electric vehicles.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders warns that the timing of the tariffs is detrimental, as UK car production fell 13.9% last year. Despite a recent increase in exports to the U.S., cars represent a small portion of overall trade, which is dominated by services.

Breitbart: U.S. Wants NATO and Canada to Spend 5 Percent of GDP on Defense
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged NATO allies in Brussels to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, a significant rise from current levels. This request was met with skepticism, as many members, including Canada and France, are not prepared to commit to such a high target.
Despite the call for increased spending amid global security threats, nearly a third of NATO members do not meet the existing 2% target. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte acknowledged the substantial increase in defense spending since Russia's invasion of Ukraine but indicated that the alliance is open to discussions on future spending levels.
