Before the Israel-Hamas war dominated the global spotlight, the Russian invasion of Ukraine was the primary concern for diplomats. This week in Brussels, EU member states gathered for a council summit to provide more funding for Kyiv and discuss Ukrainian membership in the bloc. However, Hungary, led by Viktor Orban, has raised doubts. With veto power in EU decisions, Orban has used it to secure EU funds and challenge EU policies. Currently, negotiations are underway to release frozen billions due to corruption and rule of law concerns. This situation reflects a growing weariness towards Ukraine, signaling potential consequences for both NATO and Ukraine-Russia relations. Despite positive messages from the EU, waning interest from Western allies creates uncertainty.Fighting for their lives: Women and the impact of abortion restrictions in post-Roe AmericaFrom ABC News...

December 13, 2023 - The Federal Reserve has issued its FOMC statement.

Tighter financial and credit conditions are expected to impact economic activity, hiring, and inflation, but the extent of these effects is uncertain. The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. The federal funds rate remains unchanged at 5-1/4 to 5-1/2 percent.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy visits Capitol Hill and the White House in Washington D.C. to seek U.S. aid for Ukraine in its war with Russia. President Zelenskyy meets with military officers on Monday, and plans to meet with President Joe Biden and senators on Tuesday. Ukraine's future is at stake as additional American support is in doubt. President Biden's request for an additional $110 billion aid package for Ukraine is at risk of collapse in Congress due to Republicans linking it to U.S.-Mexico border security changes. Prospects for a congressional deal on Ukraine funding seem unlikely. Russian President Putin is closely watching Congress's actions.Rifts between Biden and Netanyahu spill into public view | CNN PoliticsFrom CNN...

The Executive Committee of Harvard University’s Alumni Association has expressed full support for President Claudine Gay, suggesting she may retain her position.

The resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill is also linked to the contentious hearing. Despite growing pressure from members of Congress, donors, and other leaders, Harvard faculty members, as well as over 800 Black alumni, have backed Gay.

US vetoes UN resolution demanding Gaza cease-fire. The United States vetoed a UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza. The resolution, backed by most Security Council members and many nations, received a 13-1 vote. The United Kingdom abstained. The US's isolated stance highlights a growing divide between Washington and its closest allies regarding Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza. The resolution had almost 100 co-sponsors within 24 hours. UAE, France, and Japan supported the call for a cease-fire. Despite efforts by Arab diplomats to press the Biden administration, the US stood firm in its opposition to an immediate halt in fighting.Hamas says Gaza mosque destroyed, urges UNESCO to save heritageFrom Al Jazeera...

The University of Pennsylvania's board of trustees held an emergency meeting to address the criticism faced by school president Liz Magill following her performance at a House hearing.

Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled on Friday that former President Donald Trump does not have immunity from criminal charges for actions he took while in office. The case, brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, accuses Trump of unlawfully attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss. Chutkan found no legal basis for the claim that presidents cannot face criminal charges once out of office. This is the first U.S. court ruling affirming that presidents can be charged with crimes. The judge also rejected Trump's argument that the charges violated his free speech rights. The trial is set to begin in March. Trump can appeal the ruling to potentially delay the trial.US joins in other nations in swearing off coal power to clean the climateFrom AP News...
