Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can weigh in after he takes officeNEW YORK (AP) — Brian Thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the U.S. but was unknown to millions of people his decisions affected. Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

All three major U.S. stock indexes reached record closing highs on Wednesday, fueled by a surge in technology shares. Salesforce's upbeat results and positive comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell provided a late boost to the market. Powell's remarks at a New York Times event suggested a stronger U.S. economy than previously anticipated, allowing the Fed to exercise caution in further rate cuts. His optimistic view on inflation was deemed beneficial for stocks, with investors anticipating another rate cut at the central bank's mid-December meeting. In the tech sector, Salesforce soared 11% after outperforming analyst expectations, and Marvell Technology climbed over 23%. As U.S. employment data remains on the horizon, investors are keenly watching for any developments that could impact the market's upward trajectory.

Fourth-seeded South Dakota will host 13th-seeded Tarleton State in the second round of the playoffs on Saturday at the DakotaDome. Tarleton State is in its first go-around in the playoffs since moving to FCS in 2021, while USD received its second-straight first-round bye in the playoffs. ADVERTISEMENT With a quarterfinal berth at stake, this is the first time the two programs will meet on the gridiron. Here are three things I’ll be watching: This doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the Coyotes themselves. In fact, USD has been one of the best teams in the country when it comes to taking care of the ball and limiting the amount of turnovers forced by opposing teams. The Coyotes only turned the ball over six total times during the regular season. That was the second-best mark in the entire country. The only team who took better care of the ball was North Dakota State who only gave the ball away a staggering three times. No, this has almost everything to do with Tarleton State. Just as the Coyotes have been one of the best teams in the country when it comes to limiting turnovers, the Texans have been one of the best teams in the country when it comes to forcing turnovers. They have 29 total takeaways, which is tied for third-most in the country. They also have the second-best turnover margin in the FCS (16) and only trail, NDSU. So, it’s one of the best teams at forcing turnovers against one of the best ball security teams. Whoever walks out of the Dome with a positive turnover margin could very well walk out as winners, too. The Coyotes have already faced some of the best running backs the country has to offer during Valley play. But, if they want to advance to the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs, they’ll have yet another high-quality running back to slow down. This time, it comes in the form of Kayvon Britten. ADVERTISEMENT Britten has been one of the best backs in the country this year, running for 1,896 yards and 18 touchdowns. Both those marks are second in the FCS. He’s been a headache for opposing defenses and was also one of the main reasons Tarleton State defeated Drake in the first round. He rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Texans took down the Bulldogs 43-29. So, what’s USD’s plan to slow down the dynamic Texan? Head coach Bob Nielson responded to that earlier in the week. “He's not very tall, really strong runner, he'll break tackles, but he's really good at finding a seam," Nielson said. "In their run game with the long mesh RPOs and things he's doing, they're getting him the ball and having him read and find that seam in the defense. ... You’ve got to do a good job of keeping the leverage tackling because he'll bounce the ball outside and take what should be a short gain and make it a long one.” The first-round bye week was beneficial to the Coyotes in many ways. One of the large benefits is overall a week of rest and rehab for those who have been dealing with lingering injuries or got banged up in the final game against NDSU. That being said, the NDSU win generated a lot of momentum and was USD’s third straight victory to conclude the regular season. The reason I wonder if there could be a slow start in the Coyotes' future is because it’s already happened once this season following a bye. Against Indiana State, USD struggled a bit to really get in a groove (albeit, the Coyotes eventually ran away with a 49-0 win). Not to mention, that’s also happened against other opponents such as Youngstown State and UNI, the latter of which was at home as well. That’s not to say that USD will come out and fall behind by double-digits, as has happened multiple times this season. But, with this being the playoffs, anything can happen. And if the Coyotes start out slow, it may be easier said than done to make up that deficit quickly like they have in the past.
NoneLUANDA, Angola (AP) — President Joe Biden's long-delayed trip to Africa had many of the hallmarks of a traditional state visit: There was a 12-shot cannon salute. A series of warm handshakes with Angolan President João Lourenço. Celebratory music. Photo opportunities. But another issue overshadowed the visit. When reporters tried to question the president about why he gave his son Hunter a far-reaching pardon after repeatedly saying he would not do so, Biden tried to brush aside the questions. He gestured toward Lourenço and laughed, declaring, “Welcome to America.” Biden saluted Lourenço for his efforts to bolster stronger U.S. relations, declared that Africa and its booming youth population would shape the world's future and even indulged his love of trains by championing a major railway project that his administration says could change the way the entire continent does business. Some takeaways from the president's visit: Biden offered the joke about America before his meeting with Lourenço, and he answered a question on Tuesday about the political situation in South Korea, saying only that he'd not been briefed — something that was rectified moments later when advisers filled him in on what was happening as the motorcade sped away from a site where he'd given a speech. Other than that, Biden went the entire trip, which began Sunday night and included two brief stopovers in Cape Verde in addition to Angola, dodging reporters. He did similar during last month's six-day visit to South America . Since Biden announced his pardon decision shortly before climbing aboard Air Force One bound for Africa, it fell to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to spend nearly half an hour offering long and awkward answers to uncomfortable questions aboard the aircraft hours later. Biden said in a statement explaining the pardon that, while he believed in the justice system, he also felt that politics had infected the cases against his son and “enough was enough.” Jean-Pierre maintained that he wasn't trying to have it both ways. “I don’t think it’s a contradiction,” she said. “Two things could be true. You can believe in the Department of Justice system, and you could also believe that the process was infected politically.” She also bristled when it was suggested that such complaints about the Department of Justice smacked of President-elect Donald Trump's promises to dismantle the “deep state” of federal bureaucrats that he's said for years are out to unfairly undermine him and fellow top Republicans. During his meeting with Lourenço at the presidential palace, Biden said, “The United States is all in on Africa,” and extolled how strong Angolan relations were with Washington. His administration has invested billions in Angola, with the centerpiece being promoting the Lobito Corridor, a vast project to revitalize supply chains by refurbishing 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) of train lines in Angola, Zambia and Congo. Given where Angola was barely a generation ago, the alliance is in many ways remarkable. An oil-rich nation on Africa's southwest coast, Angola achieved independence from Portugal in 1975, but spent subsequent years embroiled in civil war, which often featured proxy fighting between U.S.-backed forces and those allied with the Soviet Union. Even today, the country's red and black flag features a yellow machete and half-cog, an insignia resembling the Soviet hammer and sickle. But Biden leaves office on Jan. 20, and Lourenço, like many leaders of African nations, has already begun suggesting that he's looking toward a Trump-dominated future. Biden administration officials say they're hopeful Trump and top Republicans will continue a business-friendly approach to investing in Africa that includes continuing to support the Lobito Corridor. Biden lauded Lourenço for helping boost his country's relationship with the United States, and he said the youth of Africa would change the world. He also visited the country’s national slavery museum, stressing how Angola and the United States — which were once linked by the horrors of enslaved human beings, now could increasingly be linked by economic opportunity. But if Biden came to Angola hoping to cement his foreign policy legacy in this country and throughout Africa, it will actually fall to Trump — the man he beat in the 2020 election and spent much of 2024 running against before bowing out of the race in July — to see it through.Stock market today: Wall Street slips as the 'Magnificent 7' weighs down the market
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump issued a stark warning to BRICS nations on Saturday, threatening 100% tariffs on their exports if they support any currency to replace the U.S. dollar. Trump called on the group, which includes China, India, South Africa, Russia, and Brazil, to promise not to support a different world currency. Reuters reported. Tariff Threats Over Dollar SupremacyTrump said on Truth Social that the BRICS nations need to promise not to invent or support a currency that would compete with the dollar. He threatened to deny access to the U.S. market if they didn't cooperate. “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar," Trump wrote. "They can go find another 'sucker.'” He reaffirmed that there would be repercussions if the U.S. dollar's hegemony in global commerce were to be challenged. “There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade,” he added. Uncertainty Over January 6 PardonsTrump has also been under fire for his campaign promise to pardon a large number of supporters who participated in the Capitol violence on January 6. Trump promised clemency throughout his campaign, but since winning the election, he has provided no specifics, a Politico article stated. The ambiguity has been pointed up by federal courts overseeing cases from January 6. Trump's remarks have been dismissed as speculative by many, who have moved on with trials. Federal prosecutors have, in the meanwhile, brought further allegations against participants, concentrating on felonies. More than 1,500 people have been charged by the Justice Department in relation to the unrest. Trump earlier said he would pardon "many" of them, but he did not say which specific cases or people would be eligible. Supporters Seek AssuranceSome of Trump's followers are upset about the quiet and have gone to social media to make assumptions about his motivations. Discussions on X, the platform that was once known as Twitter, show that allies are growing increasingly concerned about his promises not being fulfilled, as per US News. Judges have been asked by prosecutors to continue cases, claiming that it is unreasonable to postpone proceedings because of possible clemency. Most judges have concurred, allowing defendants accused of attacking police and other offenses to proceed with their prosecutions.

Russia is losing influence in Georgia and the South Caucasus to its allies China and Iran, a new report claims. It comes as thousands of protesters clashed with police on the streets of Tbilisi to oppose ruling party Georgian Dream's decision to freeze talks on the country's long standing bid to join the EU until 2028. For more than 30 years Moscow has been able to leverage various conflicts in the region to make itself a security guarantor. That image was already seriously dented in the eyes of neighbouring states by Russia ’s appalling military performance in Ukraine , which has seen what was intended to be a lightning four-day conquest turn into a protracted two-and-half-year conflict with tens of thousands of casualties. However, more damaging still - according to a new report by the RUSI think tank - is the increasing influence of China and Iran, which had been contained by Russia ’s influence, but which now, despite their alliance with Moscow, are taking advantage of the vacuum. Along with Turkey, their engagement in the South Caucasus has strengthened the region’s ties with Asia, the Middle East and Central Asia to the detriment of both Russia and the West. Russia is now scrambling to reset its position by focussing on other areas such as transport and communications, but it has a steep hill to climb. "There is a real prospect that the Kremlin’s efforts to forge a renewed regional role may prove unsuccessful, and Moscow may emerge from the process of realignment a significantly reduced regional force,” said the reports author Dr Neil Melvin , RUSI's Director of International Security. The Russia -friendly Georgian Dream party swept into power recently following controversial elections which were mired by corruption. But this does not signify the win that Russia claims. “While Georgian Dream is considered pro- Russia , actually it is playing both sides against each other to maintain its independence and power base - it has no desire to become a Russian vassal, so it makes assurances about not aligning itself with the West.” Equally, Russia ’s loss of influence doesn’t spell good news for the West. “For two decades now, the Euro-Atlantic community has essentially promised to Georgia that if it got its act together, it could join the EU and Nato. The people on the streets last week were reflecting that promise,“ he said. “But the West is unwilling to cross the red lines that Russia laid down in 2008, so I believe these are hollow promises now. “If the Euro-Atlantic community is to undercut Russia ’s effort to build a new position and retain a significant regional role, it will need to develop approaches capable of responding to and shaping the new South Caucasus geopolitics and geo-economics.” Regional expert Nathalie Vogel, of the institute of World Politics, said: “Those who are protesting represent Georgia’s modern educated elite with experience of the West, but this is not the overwhelming majority who live far from the capital in rural areas. “Georgian Dream claims they are the only party to protect Georgian from a Ukraine -like war and this is a reassuring message for the undedicated who have no access to the internet and don’t follow the news. “mWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have applied to become members and several other countries have expressed interest in joining. While the U.S. dollar is by far the most-used currency in global business and has survived past challenges to its preeminence, members of the alliance and other developing nations say they are fed up with America’s dominance of the global financial system . Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy." At a summit of BRIC nations in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of “weaponizing” the dollar and described it as a “big mistake.” “It’s not us who refuse to use the dollar,” Putin said at the time. “But if they don’t let us work, what can we do? We are forced to search for alternatives.” Russia has specifically pushed for the creation of a new payment system that would offer an alternative to the global bank messaging network, SWIFT, and allow Moscow to dodge Western sanctions and trade with partners. Trump said there is "no chance" BRIC will replace the U.S. dollar in global trade and any country that tries to make that happen "should wave goodbye to America.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has had an "excellent conversation" with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club following the US president-elect's threat to impose significant tariffs on Canada and Mexico. or signup to continue reading It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump's concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders' hastily arranged meeting on Friday night said it was a "positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours". The official, who was not authorised to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defence, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Middle East and pipelines as well as a G7 meeting in Canada next year. A photo of Trudeau sitting next to Trump during dinner was posted on X by Pennsylvania senator-elect Dave McCormick. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the governments there do not stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25 per cent tax on all products entering the US from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter's question about the dinner meeting, saying it was "an excellent conversation". Trump's transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau "weak" and "dishonest" but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the November 5 election. "Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking," Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University, said. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump's pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump's choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada's public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau's chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier on Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he is talking about adding 25 per cent to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump "doesn't need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in US interests. He knows that but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks." When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the US in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminium. Canada is the top export destination for 36 US states. Nearly $C3.6 billion ($A4.1 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip has killed five people, including employees of charity organization World Central Kitchen . The strike, which took place Saturday morning, occurred after Israel’s military said it targeted a World Central Kitchen worker who had been part Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7, 2023. “We are heartbroken to share that a vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza,” World Central Kitchen said in a statement on X , formerly Twitter. “At this time, we are working with incomplete information and are urgently seeking more details. World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack.” The organization added, “World Central Kitchen is pausing operations in Gaza at this time. Our hearts are with our colleagues and their families in this unimaginable moment.” WCK did not confirm the names of those killed. Israeli Defense Forces shared their own statement on social media, noting, “Earlier today, the IDF struck a vehicle with a terrorist, Hazmi Kadih, who took part in invading Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre. Kadih was monitored by IDF intelligence for a while and was struck following credible information regarding his real-time location.” They said that Kadih worked for WCK and that the charity had been asked “to clarify the issue and order an urgent examination regarding the hiring of workers who took part in the October 7 massacre and terrorist attacks against the State of Israel.” World Central Kitchen previously paused its operations in Gaza earlier this year when seven of its aid workers were killed in an Israeli strike. The strikes targeted three vehicles marked with WCK logos. “All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission,” the group wrote in a statement at the time. “An independent investigation is the only way to determine the truth of what happened, ensure transparency and accountability for those responsible, and prevent future attacks on humanitarian aid workers.” Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time In an interview with Reuters , WCK founder and chef José Andrés said that the WCK workers “were targeted deliberately, nonstop, until everybody was dead in this convoy.” He continued, “This was not just a bad-luck situation where ‘oops,’ we dropped the bomb in the wrong place... Even if we were not in coordination with the [Israel Defense Forces], no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians.” Israeli subsequently fired two officers it charged with having misidentified the WCK convoy. IDF admitted in a statement that “the forces targeted the three WCK vehicles based on the misclassification of the event and misidentification of the vehicles as having Hamas operatives inside them, with the resulting strike leading to the deaths of seven innocent humanitarian aid workers.” They added, “The strikes on the three vehicles were carried out in serious violation of the commands and IDF Standard Operating Procedures.”RUSK — Tyler fire officials confirmed there were no injuries following the ignition of a detonating cord while confiscating grenades from a building. Chief Joey Hooton with the Tyler Fire Department said crews responded to a call about a box of grenades in a building in downtown Rusk. The caller allegedly did not know if the grenades were live at the time of the call. A bomb squad was deployed to confiscate the grenades. Hooton said a robot with an arm attachment was deployed to inspect the devices, which were found to be inert. A grenade is considered inert when the technology within the device has been gutted from the grenade and is no longer explosive. During the incident, Hooton reported a detonation cord (or “detcord”) was ignited, which was allowed to burn out at the scene. No injuries or property damage was reported. The Tyler Fire Department’s bomb squad serves 16 counties across East Texas.Larson Financial Group LLC Purchases 107 Shares of First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR)

("Citius Oncology" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CTOR), a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel targeted oncology therapies, today reported business and financial results for the fiscal full year ended September 30, 2024 . Fiscal Full Year 2024 Business Highlights and Subsequent Developments Financial Highlights "Reflecting on 2024, Citius Oncology has achieved pivotal milestones that underscore our commitment to advancing cancer therapeutics," stated Leonard Mazur , Chairman and CEO of Citius Oncology. "The FDA's approval of LYMPHIR for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma marks a significant advancement in providing new options for patients battling this challenging disease. It is the only targeted systemic therapy approved for CTCL patients since 2018 and the only therapy with a mechanism of action that targets the IL-2 receptor. Additionally, the successful merger forming Citius Oncology, now trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CTOR, strengthens our position in the oncology sector. We expect it to facilitate greater access to capital to fund LYMPHIR's launch and the Company's future growth. With a Phase I investigator-initiated clinical trial combining LYMPHIR with pembrolizumab demonstrating promising preliminary results, indicating potential for enhanced treatment efficacy in recurrent solid tumors, and preliminary results expected from a second investigator trial with CAR-T therapies in 2025, we remain excited about the potential of LYMPHIR as a combination immunotherapy." "These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our team and the trust of our investors. As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our mission to develop innovative therapies that improve the lives of cancer patients worldwide," added Mazur. FULL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS: Research and Development (R&D) Expenses R&D expenses were $4.9 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $4.2 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The increase reflects development activities completed for the resubmission of the Biologics License Application of LYMPHIR in January 2024 , which were associated with the complete response letter remediation. General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses G&A expenses were $8.1 million for the full year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to $5.9 million for the full year ended September 30, 2023 . The increase was primarily due to costs associated with pre-commercial and commercial launch activities of LYMPHIR including market research, marketing, distribution and drug product reimbursement from health plans and payers. Stock-based Compensation Expense For the full year ended September 30, 2024 , stock-based compensation expense was $7.5 million as compared to $2.0 million for the prior year. The primary reason for the $5.5 million increase was due to the amounts being realized over 12 months in the year ended September 30, 2024 , as compared to three months post-plan adoption in the year ended September 30, 2023 . Net loss Net loss was $21.1 million , or ($0.31) per share for the year ended September 30, 2024 , compared to a net loss of $12.7 million , or ($0.19) per share for the year ended September 30, 2023 . The $8.5 million increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase in our operating expenses. About Citius Oncology, Inc. Citius Oncology specialty is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel targeted oncology therapies. In August 2024 , its primary asset, LYMPHIR, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory CTCL who had had at least one prior systemic therapy. Management estimates the initial market for LYMPHIR currently exceeds $400 million , is growing, and is underserved by existing therapies. Robust intellectual property protections that span orphan drug designation, complex technology, trade secrets and pending patents for immuno-oncology use as a combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors would further support Citius Oncology's competitive positioning. Citius Oncology is a publicly traded subsidiary of Citius Pharmaceuticals.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have applied to become members and several other countries have expressed interest in joining. While the U.S. dollar is by far the most-used currency in global business and has survived past challenges to its preeminence, members of the alliance and other developing nations say they are fed up with America’s dominance of the global financial system . Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy." At a summit of BRIC nations in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of “weaponizing” the dollar and described it as a “big mistake.” “It’s not us who refuse to use the dollar,” Putin said at the time. “But if they don’t let us work, what can we do? We are forced to search for alternatives.” Russia has specifically pushed for the creation of a new payment system that would offer an alternative to the global bank messaging network, SWIFT, and allow Moscow to dodge Western sanctions and trade with partners. Trump said there is "no chance" BRIC will replace the U.S. dollar in global trade and any country that tries to make that happen "should wave goodbye to America.”VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says his fellow premiers and the federal government have hatched a game plan to fight U.S. tariffs, with conservative premiers lobbying Republican counterparts, left-leaning provincial leaders courting the Democrats, and Ottawa focusing on president-elect Donald Trump. The premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked about using their political diversity and connections to thwart the prospect of Trump's proposed 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, Eby said Thursday in a year-end interview. He said it was discussed that conservative premiers Danielle Smith in Alberta, Doug Ford in Ontario and Nova Scotia's Tim Houston are well-placed to lobby Republican governors and business leaders. Eby said as a New Democrat he will likely have more in common with Democrat governors and business leaders from the West Coast states. "I can easily have conversations with governors and businesses down the West Coast of the U.S., where we have close relationships and our politics are very similar," he said. "Premier Smith can have conversations with Republican governors. That would be more challenging for me, and (she) would have more connections potentially with the Trump administration than an NDP administration in B.C. would." He said a meeting last week between the premiers and Trudeau discussed Canada's diversity of representation, and how it could bring leverage and advantages in tariff talks. "It's interesting, there was a lot of talk about what unity means in terms of Canada's response to the tariffs," he said. "There's obviously a diversity of views around the Council of the Federation table of all the premiers. Certainly, mine is not the same as Premier Smith's or Premier Ford's or Premier Houston's, and that diversity of views is actually potentially a significant strength for us as we enter into these discussions." Eby also said he was prepared to appear on American's right-leaning Fox News TV network, as did premiers Ford and Smith. "Anything that I can do to support the national effort to protect the families in Canada from the impact of tariffs and also families in the U.S. from those unjustified tariffs," he said. "Absolutely, if I thought it was helpful." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024. Dirk Meissner, The Canadian PressUnitedHealthcare CEO kept a low public profile.
