In South America, Trump already losing a trade battle with China
White House will find itself already on the losing side in a trade battle with China, part of a bigger power realignment around the resource-rich region in Washington's backyard. Peru, the world's no. 2 copper exporter, is set to host Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders this week, with China's President Xi Jinping expected to attend and inaugurate a major new Chinese-built port in the country. Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden is also on the guest list. Peru reflects a wider challenge for the White House around South America, where China's presence has grown rapidly given its huge appetite for the region's main exports: corn, copper, soy, beef and battery-metal lithium.

Russia and Ukraine exchange biggest ever drone attacks
Trump's election to the White House has the potential to upend the almost three-year conflict and has thrown into question Washington's multi-billion dollar support for Kyiv, crucial to its defence. The Republican said on the campaign trail that he could end the fighting within hours and has indicated he will talk directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin — a major break from the approach struck by President Joe Biden. Trump will not be inaugurated until January and for the moment on the battlefield and in the skies, the conflict shows no signs of subsiding.

The 4B movement: Why some U.S. women are boycotting men after Trump’s win
re-election of Donald Trump are taking a sudden interest in a feminist movement that started in South Korea and encourages the rejection of heterosexual marriage, sex, childbirth and dating.The 4B movement, as it’s called, began in South Korea when women started swearing off heterosexual dating in protest of misogyny in the Asian country. While it’s hard to pin down the start of 4B, it’s believed to have begun around 2017, but gained traction in 2018 when protests erupted around the country in response to a spy cam epidemic and grew into a #MeToo-esque feminist phenomenon.On Wednesday, Google searches for “4B” spiked by 450 per cent in the U.S., with the most interest coming from Washington D.C., Colorado, Vermont and Minnesota.
