Boeing reports jump in 1Q profits, lifts 2018 forecast

Posted: 25 Apr 2018 06:39 AM PDT

Boeing reports jump in 1Q profits, lifts 2018 forecastBoeing reported a surge in first-quarter profits on Wednesday and lifted its full-year earnings forecast following a strong performance in commercial aviation and defense programs. The results again reflect broad health in commercial aviation as the airline industry enjoys a more stable financial period and as flying becomes much more common in the Middle East, Asia and other developing regions. A big player in China, Boeing has often been seen as vulnerable to a trade war between the United States and China, a possibility that topped Wall Street's list of worries earlier this month but has receded of late amid softer rhetoric between Washington and Beijing.

Chevron evacuates Venezuela executives following staff arrestsU.S. oil major Chevron Corp has evacuated executives from Venezuela after two of its workers were imprisoned over a contract dispute with state-owned oil company PDVSA, according to four sources familiar with the matter. Chevron asked other employees to avoid the facilities of its joint venture with the OPEC nation's oil firm, the sources said. The arrests, in a raid by national intelligence officers, were the first at a foreign oil firm since Venezuela's government launched a purge last fall that has resulted in detentions of more than 80 executives at PDVSA and business partners accused of corruption.

U.S. Supreme Court divided over Texas electoral district fight

Posted: 24 Apr 2018 06:24 PM PDT

U.S. Supreme Court divided over Texas electoral district fightBy Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared divided along ideological lines as it heard a bid by Texas to revive Republican-drawn electoral districts thrown out by a lower court for diluting the clout of black and Hispanic voters. Some of the conservative justices seemed willing during arguments in the case to accept that the Republican-led Texas legislature acted in good faith when it adopted new electoral maps in 2013 for state legislative and U.S. congressional seats. Liberal justices seemed skeptical that those maps resolved racial discrimination concerns that caused earlier maps to be invalidated, and questioned whether it was premature to hear the case because a lower court had not yet issued a final ruling on the dispute.


US showing China 'yellow card' on trade, says Hong Kong consul

US showing China 'yellow card' on trade, says Hong Kong consulThe United States has issued China with a "yellow card" on trade, said its consul general in Hong Kong Tuesday, in a strongly worded speech which also urged the importance of the city's autonomy for business. US President Donald Trump last month approved plans for steep tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of Chinese imports, while Beijing has slapped duties on key US agricultural exports and threatened to do likewise for the sensitive American soybean industry. Consul General Kurt Tong said China had breached its commitments to the World Trade Organisation to such an extent that it was detrimental to the US, which was now "justified in claiming damages".

UK Jewish groups say disappointed by talks with Labour leader Corbyn on anti-SemitismBy Andrew MacAskill LONDON (Reuters) - Jewish community leaders in Britain said their talks on Tuesday with opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on how to end anti-Semitism in his party had been a "disappointing missed opportunity". Corbyn met with the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council after they organized a protest last month accusing him of failing to tackle anti-Semitism in his party because of a far-left world view hostile to Jews. Before the meeting, Corbyn acknowledged that anti-Semitism had surfaced within his party and apologized for the pain this had caused.

Eurofighter doubts U.S. will use nuclear certification to tilt German jets bidBy Andrea Shalal BERLIN (Reuters) - The head of Eurofighter on Wednesday said he did not expect the United States to slow certification of the European fighter's ability to carry nuclear weapons as a way to influence a competition to replace Germany's aging 90 Tornado jets. The Eurofighter is a joint project between British defense group BAE, European airplane maker Airbus and Italy's Leonardo. Airbus and Eurofighter on Tuesday submitted six binders of information to the German defense ministry, which has said it will prioritize a European fighter, but has also asked for information about the Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet and Boeing Co's F-15E and F/A-18E/F jets.

Donald Trump suggests veterans affairs candidate could withdraw after 'ugly and disgusting' vetting process

Posted: 24 Apr 2018 11:08 AM PDT

Donald Trump suggests veterans affairs candidate could withdraw after 'ugly and disgusting' vetting processPresident Donald Trump has suggested his embattled nominee to lead the veteran's affairs department could withdraw his candidacy, after lashing out at the "ugly and disgusting" vetting process that saw serious concerns raised about Ronny Jackson's drinking and management. Dr Jackson, 50, has found his candidacy to lead the second largest department in the federal government on hold, with a hearing scheduled for Wednesday postponed, and no new date scheduled. Mr Trump defended him, but hinted that Dr Jackson could withdraw his nomination, saying: "I would always stand by him. He's a fine man. He has to listen to the abuse. The fact is, I wouldn't do it. What does he need it for, to be abused by a bunch of politicians? I wouldn't do it. But the decision is totally his." The Texan retired navy admiral was a surprise nominee to replace the respected David Shulkin, an experienced hospital administrator with a deep understanding of the veterans' affairs medical system, who was fired last month. Dr Jackson, appointed as White House physician by Barack Obama in 2013, has no experience of running a large government department and is widely believed to have been nominated to lead the department of 370,000 employees thanks to his annual report on the president's health, which delighted Mr Trump. "He's like central casting - like a Hollywood star," said Mr Trump, praising Dr Jackson in a speech to donors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in February. Ronny Jackson on January 16, delivering the annual assessment of the president's health The White House is believed to have done little or no vetting of his background before announcing his nomination on Twitter. Before serving as a White House physician, Dr Jackson had deployed as an emergency medicine physician to Taqaddum, Iraq, during the Iraq war. But Dr Jackon's hearing has been postponed after the Senate veteran affairs committee was made aware of serious concerns about his background. The New York Times reported that whistleblowers told the committee of a hostile work environment, over-prescription of drugs, and Dr Jackson's drinking. "The Senate committee on veterans' affairs is postponing the hearing to consider the nominee to be secretary of the US department of veterans affairs in light of new information presented to the committee," said Johnny Isakson, Republican senator for Georgia, the committee chairman, and Jon Tester of Montana, its top Democrat, in a joint statement. "We will continue looking into these serious allegations and have requested additional information from the White House to enable the committee to conduct a full review." Donald Trump shakes hands with White House physician Dr Ronny Jackson as he boards Marine One to leave the Walter Reed national military medical center in Bethesda, Maryland, after his first medical check-up as president Credit:  Carolyn Kaster/AP A 2012 watchdog report obtained by AP found that Dr Jackson and Jeffrey Kulham, who led the White House medical team at the time, both exhibited "unprofessional behaviours" as they engaged in a power struggle. The six-page report found a lack of trust in the leadership and low morale among staff members. The report says staff members described the working environment as "being caught between parents going through a bitter divorce." Mr Trump on Tuesday defended Dr Jackson. "I haven't heard of the particular allegations but he is one of the finest doctors I have met," he said, speaking at a White House press conference with the French president, Emmanuel Macron. "I know there is an experience problem. But there is an experience problem – we will take great care of our veterans, and we've done a great job. You could run the biggest hospital in the world and you still wouldn't have the experience. "I told Admiral Jackson – what do you need this for? This is a vicious group of people, that malign. "He is an admiral and a great leader and they question him for every little thing. "It's totally his decision and he'll be making a decision." Dr Jackson refused to discuss the allegations on Tuesday, but instead told reporters: "I'm looking forward to the hearing. I was looking forward to doing it tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to getting it rescheduled and answering all the questions." His troubles with the nomination process came as Mike Pompeo, Mr Trump's nominee for secretary of state, secured the surprise approval of the Senate foreign relations committee. The approval was secured when Rand Paul, a Republican senator for Kentucky, was won over by Mr Pompeo and agreed to his nomination.
