(CNN) — El secretario de Estado de EE.UU., Antony Blinken, inició conversaciones con altos funcionarios chinos en Beijing el domingo al comienzo de una visita de alto perfil destinada a encaminar las relaciones nuevamente después de meses de tensiones inflamadas entre las dos economías más grandes del mundo.Blinken es el primer secretario de Estado que viaja a China en cinco años y el funcionario estadounidense de mayor rango en realizar una misión de este tipo desde que el presidente Joe Biden asumió el cargo a principios de 2021.Los observadores vigilarán de cerca si se prevé una reunión con el líder de China Xi Jinping. Los viajes anteriores del principal diplomático de Estados Unidos a menudo involucraron un cara a cara con el principal líder de China, pero las relaciones están en su punto más bajo en décadas.Funcionarios de ambos gobiernos han señalado bajas expectativas para la visita, y un alto funcionario del Departamento de Estado les dijo a los periodistas a principi...

Rickie Fowler fades in final round after bounce-back US Open

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:22:41 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — From his electric opening-round 62 to his neon-orange Sunday ensemble, Rickie Fowler showed off just about everything during the 123rd U.S. Open that once made him one of the most compelling figures in golf.Unfortunately, that also included another painful fade from title contention after he took a share of the lead into the last round.Fowler stumbled to a 75 Sunday, finishing in a three-way tie for fifth at Los Angeles Country Club. After 18 holes alongside eventual champion Wyndham Clark, Fowler ended up five shots back with the worst final round among the top 19 finishers.To be sure, there was a significant bright side to Fowler’s week.He rebounded from several years of disappointing play with his best result at a major since his runner-up finish at the 2018 Masters. He even set a U.S. Open record with 23 birdies over his four rounds at LACC, playing phenomenal golf for long stretches.But after taking at least a share of the lead into each of the final th...

McIlroy gets big break at US Open but ice-cold putter costs him the title

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:22:41 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rory McIlroy got the sort of break most players need to win a U.S. Open. If only he could’ve made a putt or two to go with it. The golf gods, to say nothing of the golf rulebook, gave McIlroy a chance to save par after his approach shot on the 14th hole came up short and embedded in the deep grass above a greenside bunker. But McIlroy missed the putt — a common theme on Sunday — and made his only bogey of the day. That single shot cost him in a one-stroke loss to Wyndham Clark. McIlroy shot even-par 70 — one birdie, 16 pars and that single bogey — to finish at 9-under 271. His drought in the majors is now at 33 tournaments, a dry spell that is nearing nine full years.“I think the putter, I’ll rue some of the chances that I missed,” McIlroy said. “It was hard to get the ball really close all day. It was that and that wedge shot on 14, coming up a little short, those are the things I’ll rue today.”He finished the day with 36 putts over 18 holes — n...

Russian warlord Prigozhin to POLITICO: Get me F-35 fighter jets

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 15:22:41 GMT

The notorious Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin has asked POLITICO for help in equipping his Wagner private army with Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets.In a sarcastic voice message delivered in response to a request for comment, Prigozhin also sought assistance in obtaining U.S.-made sniper rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers.“I ask you to talk to your contacts so that we can get these supplies,” said Prigozhin, whose mercenaries have fought at the forefront of Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.“I have one more request for you,” Prigozhin continued. “So: F-35s. If it’s possible, as we previously discussed, to buy up supplies via New Zealand. They may need to refuel in Hawaii, but I don’t really foresee a problem.”Prigozhin’s statement appeared intended as a joke: It was delivered in a jovial, ironic tone that was in complete contrast to the furious, profanity-laden tirades he has unleashed at Russia’s top military brass over problems supplying his forces.POLITICO re...

It works very well. It can penetrate light cover if the enemy is behind it. And, in the open, it can strike the enemy at a range of up to 1,500 meters.”The Orsis T-5000 is made by a company based in Moscow called Promtekhnologiya that has been sanctioned by the United States.And the “Western” ammunition?Filings obtained by POLITICO indicate that Promtekhnologiya and another Russian firm called Tetis have acquired hundreds of thousands of rounds made by Hornady, a U...
