🇺🇸🇨🇳🚘 US to ban Chinese smart cars

The United States finalized a rule Tuesday effectively barring Chinese technology from cars in the American market, taking aim at software and hardware from the world's second largest economy on national security risks.

"But the US actions could attract Beijing's retaliation, with the Chinese Commerce Ministry already calling Monday's AI-related export curbs "a flagrant violation" of international trade rules."

🇺🇸🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — President-elected Donald Trump takes responsibility on reaching the Ceasefire deal in Gaza, claims that Gaza will never ever again be a Terrorist Heaven:

This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.

With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven. We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!

We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!

🇶🇦🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Prime Minister of Qatar:

A cease-fire agreement has been reached and the release of detainees in Gaza

🇶🇦🕊🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israel-Hamas ceasefire begins on Sunday, January 19, 2025 AD, when first hostages are due to be released, Prime-Minister of Qatar says

➡️ According to the Prime-Minister, the ceasefire is temporary.

➡️ It will transition into a permanent truce if and when all the required steps and requirements are achieved.

➡️ The first phase will be a 43 days ceasefire.

➡️ During the agreement, 33 Israeli hostages will be released, Qatar, Egypt and the US will work to ensure the implementation of the agreement.

🇮🇱🕊🇵🇸 — Some details and clarifications:

➡️ It is a hostage deal, NOT an end of war deal.

➡️ Phase I allows for the release of 33 hostages; it is not clear how many are alive, but some reports suggest 23.

➡️ Again, the ceasefire is almost certainly temporary, it will last for 43 days. It is not a permanent end to the war.

➡️ As noted by analysts, Phase II is highly unlikely ever to materialize given how many hostages Hamas retains and given that Hamas will never disarm or agree to exile.

➡️ The deal does not force Israel to alter deployment along the Philadelphi Corridor (border between Gaza and Egypt).
