Browns defensive star Myles Garrett chasing greatness, hoping for picture perfect season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:56:10 GMT

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Myles Garrett was in an unfamiliar, vulnerable position.

NEW DELHI — President Joe Biden spent the first 24 hours of the India-hosted G20 doing his best to fill the power vacuum left by Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s absences, wooing their friends and bidding to take their business.The animating theme of Biden’s foreign policy is that democracies can deliver while autocracies, despite bursts of strength and activity, eventually fade away.

US, Canada sail warships through the Taiwan Strait in a challenge to China

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:56:10 GMT

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — The U.S. and the Canadian navies sailed two warships through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, in a challenge to China’s sweeping territorial claims. The USS Ralph Johnson and the Royal Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate HMCS Ottawa sailed through the narrow band of ocean that separates China and self-ruled Taiwan, according to the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet. Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory to be reunited by force if necessary, and views transits by the U.S. Navy and its allies as provocative actions. The cruisers “transited through a corridor in the Strait that is beyond the territorial sea of any coastal state,” the Navy statement said.The U.S. routinely sails through the strait in what it calls “freedom of navigation” operations.China has stepped up its military activities around Taiwan, including sending warships and warplanes on a near daily basis. In June, the U.S. released a video in which a Chinese navy ship cut sharply across the path of ...
