After that, US President Donald Trump could stop delivery of the jet at any time if it is in the US's "national interest." The jet, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, is scheduled to arrive in Germany in 2027 and ensure so-called nuclear sharing starting in 2029.

Argentinien: Präsident Milei will neue Schulden bei IWF mit Eildekret durchbringen
Der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) hat Argentinien für neue Kredite einen jährlichen Zinssatz von 6,47 Prozent eingeräumt. Die Regierung des rechtsliberalen Staatschefs Javier Milei hat ein Eildekret (Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia, DNU) zur Ratifizierung der Vereinbarung erlassen und will es Anfang Mai in Kraft setzen.
...
Nach Einschätzung des Scalabrini-Ortiz-Zentrums für Wirtschafts- und Sozialstudien ist die neue Vereinbarung mit dem IWF die "letzte Karte im Ärmel der Regierung", um die Wahlen ohne Finanz- und Währungskrisen zu erreichen. 2025 müssen 15 Milliarden Dollar zurückbezahlt werden. Die Summe könnte noch steigen, wenn die Zentralbank weiterhin Dollar verwendet, um die Wechselkurslücke einzudämmen. Dieses Modell sei offenbar nur durch eine Devisenspritze des IWF aufrechtzuerhalten.
...
Und das obwohl Argentinien einen Exportüberschuss hat und folglich Devisen aufbaut.

USAID funded Ukraine group that smeared VP Vance as pro-Russia ‘propagandist’
US Pres. Donald Trump has lambasted USAID for absurd foreign expenditures. But Trump has omitted perhaps the most scandalous operation: in Ukraine, the US funded groups which defamed the US Vice President, members of Congress, and US journalists as “foreign propagandists,” while training Ukrainians in “PSYOP” tactics.

ICE Reveals How Many Deportations Have Been Carried Out Under Trump
The agency told Newsweek that it had removed 28,319 people from the U.S. interior between January 20 and March 11, averaging to around 3,887 per week, or 555 a day. When the figure is taken as just those immigrants detained by ICE agents, Trump would be outpacing Biden's removal numbers.

Der enthüllte Wahnsinn: Die „New York Times“ glorifiziert ein Kriegsverbrechen
Ein aktueller Artikel der New York Times, verfasst von Adam Entous, offenbart auf schockierende Weise die operative Tiefe der US-amerikanischen Kriegsführung in der Ukraine – und entlarvt zugleich das jahrelange Narrativ vom „Stellvertreterkrieg“ als bewusste Täuschung. Doch statt diesen Skandal als solchen zu benennen, feiert die Zeitung den massenhaften Tod junger Ukrainer als strategisches Kalkül. Der Artikel ist nicht nur ein journalistisches Dokument, sondern ein moralisches Desaster – es ist ein Mahnmal einer entgrenzten Kriegsführung, die jedes menschliche Maß verloren hat

US tariffs: Trump is right – His fact sheet destroys German mercantilism
...
The last convulsions of the outgoing Minister for Economic Affairs are going in exactly the wrong direction. Comparing the American tariff announcement with Russia’s attack on Ukraine is both absurd and irresponsible. The ‘determination of the reaction’ that he demands is dangerous because he (once again) judges without having understood what is at stake. Anyone considering countermeasures should first know that the deficit country wins in any case and the surplus country loses in any case.

US-Zölle: Trump hat Recht – Sein Faktenblatt zerstört den deutschen Merkantilismus

Die letzten Zuckungen des scheidenden Wirtschaftsministers gehen genau in die falsche Richtung. Die amerikanische Zollankündigung mit dem Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine zu vergleichen, ist absurd und unverantwortlich zugleich. Die „Entschlossenheit der Reaktion“, die er anmahnt, ist gefährlich, weil er (wieder einmal) urteilt, ohne verstanden zu haben, worum es geht. Wer Gegenmaßnahmen erwägt, sollte zunächst wissen, dass das Defizitland auf jeden Fall gewinnt und das Überschussland auf jeden Fall verliert.

Higher Administrative Court: Corona mask requirement in primary schools in Schleswig-Holstein temporarily ineffective
A ruling that was valid for November 2020 and required the wearing of masks in elementary schools in Schleswig-Holstein during the coronavirus pandemic was invalid for purely formal reasons. The Schleswig-Holstein Higher Administrative Court (OVG) in Schleswig justified its decision published Friday by stating that the authority to issue the regulation had only been granted to the then Minister of Education by the state government for a limited period of time on the basis of the Infection Protection Act. However, the regulation for the month of November referred to regulations outside of this period. (Case No. 3 KN 36/20)

Deutsche Bahn more unpunctual than ever before

CEO Richard Lutz sees Deutsche Bahn "in the biggest crisis since the railway reform." "In key areas, we are far from achieving our goals and what our customers expect from us," Lutz continued. The rail network is dilapidated and overloaded. Furthermore, punctuality in long-distance traffic reached a historic low last year at just 62.5 percent.
Deutsche Bahn plans to significantly increase punctuality in long-distance traffic – to 75 to 80 percent by 2027. The company also aims to return to operating profit this year.

After all Germany invests extremely little in railway infrastructure.
