Washington After detaining 11 Yemenis without prosecution at the U.S. naval facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for more than 20 years, the Pentagon announced on Monday that it has transferred them to Oman this week. The transfer was the most recent and significant move made by the Biden administration in its last weeks to remove the last remaining detainees who had never been charged with a crime from Guantanamo. With the most recent disclosure, there are now 15 men in all who are being held at Guantanamo. That is the fewest since the administration of President George W. Bush converted Guantanamo into a prison facility for the primarily Muslim detainees arrested worldwide in what the United States referred to as its "war on terror" in 2002. The September 11, 2001, al-Qaida attacks were ...

Even after President Joe Biden banned the $15 billion proposal last week due to national security concerns, Tokyo, the largest steelmaker in Japan, announced on Tuesday that it will not abandon its efforts to acquire U.S. Steel. Concerned that it would damage U.S. relations with a crucial diplomatic and commercial ally in Asia—the two nations are each other's largest foreign investors—the blockage of the proposed agreement by Nippon Steel clouded outgoing Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's final trip to Japan. The chairman and CEO of Nippon Steel, the fourth-largest steelmaker in the world, Eiji Hashimoto, stated that there was no need or motive to abandon the proposal. In Tokyo, he told reporters, "This is not just the most important matter for our company's business strategy." I since...

The release of a final report by special counsel Jack Smith that also handles the election meddling case was attempted to be blocked Monday by President-elect Donald Trump and his erstwhile co-defendants in the Florida classified papers case. Trump's two lawsuits have been dropped. In a motion filed Monday evening, the attorneys for defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira requested that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon prevent Smith, the case's prosecutor, from releasing his findings. The judge's earlier decision that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional was cited. In order to achieve a single goal—convincing the public that everyone Smith charged is guilty of the crimes charged—the Final Report is expected to be biased and one-sided, relying almost entirely on evidence that was ...

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump and his former co-defendants in the Florida classified papers case began an attempt to prevent the publication of special counsel Jack Smith's final report.

In order to achieve a single goal—convincing the public that everyone Smith charged is guilty of the crimes charged—the Final Report is expected to be biased and one-sided, relying almost entirely on evidence that was presented to a grand jury and that was protected by all necessary safeguards.
