As guests toasted Peruvian pisco beneath chandeliers in New Delhi, the real prize wasn’t on the tasting table—it was buried in Andean mountains and scribbled in trade drafts, where Peru’s rare earths may soon fuel India’s next energy leap. Flavor That Speaks Louder Than Briefings Inside a New Delhi hotel, the scene looked like any elegant diplomatic soirée: servers weaving through the crowd with trays of tangy ceviche, a bar glittering with pisco bottles, and guests posing for selfies under the glow of spotlights. But behind the bite-sized dishes was a far more strategic menu. Peru wasn’t just celebrating its…

A Colorado jury on Wednesday convicted a former dentist of murder in his wife’s death by dosing her protein shakes with a poisonous cocktail that included medication found in eye drops. The Arapahoe County jury found James Craig, 47, guilty of first-degree murder in the March 2023 killing of Angela Craig, 43.

It mentioned export tax rebates and free trade pilot zones…
The US Treasury Department’s decision to lift sanctions on allies of Myanmar’s military junta last Friday (July 25) marks a stark reversal of decades-long American foreign policy. These sanctions, imposed by the Biden administration on the anniversary of the 2021 coup, were a gesture of solidarity with Myanmar’s pro-democracy movement and a country that has endured relentless bombing and repression at the hands of a brutal military regime. Lifting these sanctions marks the latest episode of “Trump’s craven war on Myanmar.” And they hand China yet another strategic victory in Southeast Asia. From a moral standpoint, this move is sadly…
BANGKOK – A morning of cross-border rocket attacks by US-armed Thailand and China-assisted Cambodia “violated” an agreed ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump, China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

At least 48 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured Wednesday while waiting for food at a Gaza crossing, a local hospital said, as another aid distribution descended into deadly chaos. The incident unfolded as U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff prepared to arrive in Israel on Thursday for talks, with Washington pushing to de-escalate the nearly 22-month war and secure the release of hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, incursion. Israel’s military offensive and blockade have plunged the enclave of 2 million into what experts now call a “worst-case scenario of famine,” as aid convoys are routinely swarmed by desperate…
