Ceremony and controversy await Harris during visit to Asia
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris boards Air Force 2 for travel to Japan and South Korea from Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Sunday. Harris plans to meet with Japanese business leaders as the U.S. seeks to expand computer chip manufacturing and visit with U.S. sailors serving on an American destroyer at a nearby naval base.

God, family, fatherland: will Italy go black today?
But Meloni’s victory does spell an important landmark in the long march of the Italian right-wing towards political respectability. This includes Italy and Meloni’s party.”Moreover, surveys show that the Italian people, like the Maltese, realise the huge added value of European cooperation. One of the major concerns is that hard right government in Italy would trigger migration standoffs which soured relations with Italy whenever the far right was in government. For Sammut, Meloni personifies European resentment towards the failures of the left and its disconnection from the masses. “Her blunt opposition to political correctness coloured her profile as nemesis of the political establishment,” Sammut notes.
