Yellen says Washington might ‘respond to unintended consequences’ for China due to tech export curbs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:59:25 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday said she agreed Washington will listen to Chinese complaints about security-related curbs on U.S. technology exports and might “respond to unintended consequences” as she ended a visit to Beijing aimed at reviving strained relations.Yellen defended “targeted measures” on trade that China’s leaders complain are aimed at hurting its fledgling tech industries. She said the Biden administration wants to “avoid unnecessary repercussions” but gave no indication of possible changes.Relations between the two biggest economies are at their lowest level in decades due to disputes about technology, security and other irritants. A key Chinese complaint is limits on access to processor chips and other U.S. technology on security grounds that threaten to hamper the ruling Communist Party’s development of smartphones, artificial intelligence and other industries.“We will open up channels so that they can express concerns ab...

Ukraine and the environment will top the agenda when Biden meets UK politicians and royalty

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:59:25 GMT

LONDON (AP) — A dash of pomp and a dose of politics are on the agenda during a stopover visit to the U.K. where President Joe Biden will discuss the environment with King Charles III and the war in Ukraine with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.Biden flies to London on Sunday on his way to a NATO summit in Lithuania. He is scheduled to hold talks with Sunak at 10 Downing St. on Monday before heading to Windsor Castle to meet Charles for the first time since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September.Though this is not a full state visit with military honors and palace banquet, the royal imprimatur and backdrop of the 1,000-year-old castle help underscore the importance of the trans-Atlantic “special relationship” — tested by Brexit but reinforced by unity over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Sunak and the president will hold Ukraine-focused talks before both attend this week’s NATO meeting in Vilnius, which will discuss how far the military alliance should open the door to Ukraine. ...

NATO’s unity will be tested at summit in Vilnius

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:59:25 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues with no end in sight, NATO’s much-celebrated unity faces fresh strains when leaders gather for their annual summit this week in Vilnius, Lithuania.The world’s biggest security alliance is struggling to reach an agreement on admitting Sweden as its 32nd member. Military spending by member nations still lags behind longstanding goals. And an inability to compromise over who should serve as NATO’s next leader forced an extension of the current secretary general’s term for an extra year.Perhaps most thorny are questions over how Ukraine should be eased into the alliance. Some maintain admitting Ukraine to NATO would be the fulfillment of a promise made years ago and a necessary step to deter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. Others are fearful it would be seen as a provocation that could spiral into an even wider conflict.Bickering among friends is not uncommon, and the current catalogue of disputes pales in ...

A woman headed to the Dorchester Food Co-op on a hot, sunny Saturday afternoon.Store general manager John Santos had some bad news for her: She has to wait a few more weeks for Boston’s only community-owned grocery store to open.Though the trip ended empty handed, a great sense of excitement is building for Dorchester Food Co-op to finally open its doors, which officials anticipate happening by mid August.Sunflowers will greet customers around the parking lot and as they walk through the entrance of the 6,000-square-foot food and pantry hub on the corner of Bowdoin and Topliff streets.A floral section will lead down to cases full of fresh seafood, meats and produce, while a kitchen in the back will cook foods that will be on sale at a cafe featuring a coffee and juice bar.

But there’s one major caveat that will make it uniq...

Editorial: Put John Kerry on ice

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:59:25 GMT

John Kerry’s hush-hush jet-setting days could finally be numbered — and that’s long overdue.The FY24 House State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee spending bill includes a prohibition on funding for envoys not authorized by Congress or confirmed by the Senate. That would be Kerry, who has told the Herald he “only” reports to the president.“Over the last several years, we have witnessed a boondoggle of climate change spending, and our bill provides a much-needed course correction in several key areas,” said Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla.What we’ve also been reporting is Kerry’s abysmal record with Freedom of Information Act requests. His lack of transparency takes elitism to new heights. Now the subcommittee, along with countless others, has had enough.If Kerry is not going to share details with taxpayers about his office staff, his budget should be frozen.It’s basic good economics. Would you pay for any se...

MLB Draft Preview: Will Red Sox continue trend of drafting high school shortstops in first round?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:59:25 GMT

When it comes to the MLB Draft, it sure seems like the Red Sox have a type.Since Chaim Bloom took over the front office in late 2019 the Red Sox have drafted a high school shortstop with their first pick in three consecutive drafts. Nick Yorke was Bloom’s first pick at No. 17 overall in 2020, Marcelo Mayer followed at No. 4 in 2021, and last summer Mikey Romero continued the trend at No. 24.All three now rank among the club’s top prospects, and Mayer in particular is regarded as a top 10 prospect in all of baseball.Will the Red Sox make it four in a row at this weekend’s 2023 MLB Draft? Though it might not be a high schooler, history suggests the club will target an infielder at No. 14 overall, or at the very least a position player.That’s a trend that even predates Bloom’s arrival.According to a helpful table compiled by the indispensable @RedSoxStats on Twitter, the Red Sox have paid $1 million or more in bonus money to 11 draft picks since 2018, the ...
