The waterway, which handles roughly one‑fifth of the world’s oil supply, has been a central concern for investors since the conflict began. With tankers continuing to move through the strait, oil prices have stabilized after weeks of volatility. Analysts note that even the perception of reduced risk in the region can ease pressure on global inflation, particularly in energy‑dependent economies like Canada.

Ex-Prosecutor Identifies Game-Changing Testimony in Trump’s Hush Money Trial


In a dramatic turn of events during the trial related to hush money payments, former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner highlighted a piece of testimony that could haunt Donald Trump. The trial centers around allegations that Trump falsified business documents to conceal payments made to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

On election night in 2016, attorney Keith Davidson, who represented Stormy Daniels at the time, texted then-National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard with a revealing question: “What have we done?” This message came as it became increasingly apparent that Trump would win the election. The Enquirer had also engaged in a “catch and kill” initiative to bury potentially damaging stories about Trump.

Kirschner described this testimony as “breathtaking” and emphasized that it directly undermines one of Trump’s key defense assertions. Davidson’s acknowledgment of his actions potentially impacting the election result suggests that they recognized the damage caused by their conduct. Moreover, it’s clear that the hush money payments were intended to influence the election, not merely to conceal information from Melania or Trump’s family.

This revelation could have far-reaching consequences for Trump’s criminal responsibility. It challenges the defense’s attempts to distance Trump from any wrongdoing. As the trial unfolds, the impact of this admission remains to be seen.
