Reuters: Guterres advarer om nær forestående økonomisk kollaps for FN FNs generalsekretær António Guterres sier at organisasjonen er i krise, etter at USA kuttet økonomiske bidrag. ----oooo00O00oooo---- All newsletters | Read this in your browser Roula Khalaf Editor ‌ ‌   January 29 2026 Hello from the FT newsroom. Investors are betting that Donald Trump will run the US economy “hot” to shore up support for Republicans in November’s midterm elections. The president has already overseen rapid economic growth in the first year of his second term. But as our editorial board argues, the clearest winners so far appear to be those close to Trump — not the average Joe. The affordability crisis has weighed on the president’s popularity. Of that Trump is clearly aware. In another effort to assuage voters, he has promised measures to cut housing costs and credit card interest rates.  ----oooo00O00oooo----

The National Military Family Association implored the Pentagon to ensure Stars and Stripes’ longstanding editorial independence is maintained in a letter sent Wednesday to the Defense Department’s top spokesman, who vowed this month to “refocus” the publication’s content.

NMFA CEO Besa Pinchotti wrote that the organization and the military families it has represented for some 57 years were “deeply concerned” about the plans Sean Parnell, the top Pentagon spokesman, outlined this month on social media. In a Jan. 15 post on X, Parnell wrote the Pentagon would overhaul Stars and Stripes and rid it of “woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members.”
