As the #Trump admin starves it of fuel oil, #Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest #solar revolutions on the planet — with #China’s help
“Renewable energy now makes up roughly 10% of Cuba’s electricity, up from around 3% in 2024.
“It’s a really, really rapid boom,” Graham said.
The country has pledged that figure will rise to at least 24% by 2030.”
Don’t expect a historic breakthrough from Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
But after years of tensions between the U.S. and China, just getting the two leaders in the same room could be important.

The depth of the #Trump admin’s #criminal #corruption on display:
When #DOJ indicted India’s richest man in the final weeks of the #Biden admin, prosecutors described an “elaborate” #bribery scheme involving “corruption & #fraud at the expense of US investors.”
Now…the DOJ is planning to drop the charges altogether.
The reversal came after the Indian #billionaire, Gautam Adani, hired a new legal team led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr., one of Trump’s personal lawyers.

“DOJ in talks to settle Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for damages after a contractor during his first term leaked tax info, including his, to the media.
The judge in the case has ordered Trump’s lawyers & DOJ to file briefs by May 20 explaining why this is a true case in which the two sides are opposed when Trump both is the plaintiff and runs the agency as defendant.”

[as long as Trump gets something in return, cash, #semiconductors…, he’s open to it]

“ #Trump’s Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy took his family on a seven-month road trip to film a television series called The Great American Road Trip while he was supposed to be doing his job as secretary of transportation.
And he told Fox & Friends this morning that “it fits any budget to do a road trip” on a day when the national average for a gallon of gas was $4.54.”
The #Trump corruption is so massive and in plain sight, even #Dutch media can almost create complete documentaries about it
