Image

Trump said the meeting was "scheduled" and that he expects Xi to attend. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2XFrbTA via Latest News

Opioid manufacturer Insys files for bankruptcy after kickback probe

Image
The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing marked a first for a drugmaker accused in lawsuits of helping fuel the deadly U.S. opioid endemic and came just days after Insys struck a $225 million settlement with the Justice Department. The department is now Insys' largest unsecured creditor due to Wednesday's accord, which resulted in a subsidiary pleading guilty to fraud charges and the company entering into a deferred prosecution agreement. The bankruptcy filing came after a federal jury in Boston in May found Insys founder John Kapoor and four other former executives guilty of engaging in a racketeering conspiracy centered on its fentanyl spray, Subsys. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2WAs8zP via Latest News

California to Provide Full Health Benefits to Illegal Immigrants under Age 26

Image
California governor Gavin Newsom has finalized a deal with the state's Democrat-controlled legislature to provide full health benefits to low-income illegal immigrants under the age of 26.Newsom's office released an outline of the state's 2020 budget Sunday night that calls for $98 million in new annual spending to make some 90,000 previously uninsured illegal immigrants eligible for the state's Medicaid program, according to the Sacramento Bee.The new spending will be offset by a fine on uninsured Californians similar to the “individual mandate” imposed at the federal level under Obamacare and subsequently reversed by the Trump administration.Cynthia Buiza, executive director of the California Immigrant Policy Center, celebrated the expansion of health benefits for younger illegal immigrants but lamented the exclusion of elderly illegal immigrants.“For California’s immigrant communities, today’s budget deal is bittersweet,” Buiza said in a statement. “The exclusion of ...

Chris Christie: Trump’s Staff ‘Served Him Poorly’ With Ingraham Interview at D-Day Cemetery

Image
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took some shots at the White House on Sunday morning when he claimed President Trump’s staff did not serve him well by allowing him to sit down with pro-Trump Fox News host Laura Ingraham for an interview that featured him blasting his political rivals with the Normandy D-Day cemetery as a backdrop.During a panel discussion on ABC’s This Week, Christie—who served as a Trump surrogate in the 2016 election and was briefly part of the Trump transition team—generally praised the president on his recent overseas visit. The conversation then pivoted into the debate over Trump lashing out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Ingraham interview, with Christie noting that the president was reacting to Pelosi reportedly telling Democrats she wanted to see Trump in prison.After saying Pelosi “earned” Trump’s wrath due to her comments and claiming there was no excuse for her to say she wanted to see the president jailed, the one-time GOP presidential candi...

Japan says human error likely cause of F-35A jet crash

Image
Human error was the likely cause of an F-35A fighter jet crash in April, Japan's defence ministry said Monday, and flights of the stealth jet will resume after new training measures. The jet crashed into the sea in April after the 41-year-old pilot suffered "spatial disorientation", in which a person loses their sense of balance, the ministry concluded. "The crash was likely caused by spatial disorientation of the pilot, not technical problems with the aircraft," a ministry official told AFP. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2R03PVY via Latest News

China's trade surplus soars, as exports unexpectedly edge up

Chinese exports edged up in May, surprising markets, but analysts say the rebound is likely to be short-lived given higher U.S. tariffs and slowing global growth. China's monthly trade surplus jumped 78% to $41.7 billion, as exports rose 1.1% to $213.8 billion and imports fell 8.5% to $172.2 billion, the Chinese customs agency said Monday. The fall in imports reflects weak domestic demand, analysts said. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2I5FVFC via Latest News
