the US celebrates its last Thanksgiving before Donald Trump begins his second term as president, many Ukrainians and Russian dissidents living in the country are questioning what Trump\u2019s second term will mean for the war in Ukraine \u2014 and their own futures.\n\n\u201cI think that Trump will try to make a dirty deal, to stop the war at any cost, which means at Ukraine's cost, because it's the easiest way,\u201d says Dmytro Vovk, a Ukrainian law professor, who fled the war in his home country at the end of 2022.\n\nSitting in a brightly lit caf\u00e9 filled with Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations in downtown New York, Vovk tells Euronews that he decided to leave Ukraine with his wife and two daughters after Russia targeted the northeastern city of Kharkiv, where they lived.\n\n\u201cOur apartment building was hit \u2026 there's a hole in the building,\u201d he recalls. \u201cMy older daughter, for her, it was quite a tough period. She perceived it very harshly. It was all these questions, are we going to die? And so on and so forth.\"\n\nVovk and his family are among the 6.7 million-odd Ukrainians who have fled the country since Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion in February 2022. More than 270,000 have ended up in the US, according to government figures.\n\nVovk, who comes from a \u201csecular Jewish, Russian-speaking\u201d family, gained entry into the US through an academic visa to teach at the Yeshiva University in New York. He doesn\u2019t see himself as a \u201crefugee\u201d per se. While he believes this provides him and his family some security, he worries for the hundreds of thousands of refugees who have entered the US through the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) scheme.\n\n\u201cThere is a chance that Trump will just revoke these programs for Ukrainians,\u201d posits Vovk. Ukrainians are one of the 16 groups of refugees eligible for \u201cTemporary Protected Status\u201d (TPS) under US law, granting them the right to work and social security.\n\nIn his first term, Trump tried to revoke the programme for certain groups, and with the hard-right, anti-immigration activist Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff, many fear he will go even further this time round.\n\nPeace, but at what cost?\n\nHowever, it is the war back home in Ukraine that Vovk is most concerned about.\n\n\u201cTrump was very clear on Ukraine, and JD Vance was even clearer,\u201d he exclaims, referencing a \"peace plan\" proposed by the vice president-elect which would cede land to Russia, and grant Putin a \u201cguarantee of neutrality\u201d under which Ukraine would not join NATO or other \u201callied institutions\u201d \u2014 perhaps including the EU.\n\nDoug Klain, from the Ukrainian Advocacy group Razom for Ukraine, struck a less fatalistic tone during an interview from their headquarters in Washington.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve worked with then-Senator Vance\u2019s office over the years,\u201d he tells Euronews, adding that \u201che\u2019s a really interesting person, actually quite intelligent and understands the conflict.\u201d\n\nAnnouncing that the organisation was working to ensure the \u201cinsurance\u201d of getting as much aid and military assistance committed to Ukraine by the Biden administration before Trump\u2019s inauguration on 20 January, Klain conceded that members of the Trump team had been resistant to helping Ukraine, not least Vance and X owner Elon Musk.\n\nNonetheless, he remained hopeful.\n\n\u201cJD Vance has been quite flexible in his views over the years, and hopefully this time too.\u201d\n\nThe long way round\n\nA day after meeting with Vovk, Euronews spoke to Alexander Borochkin, a Russian dissident and refugee who fled from Russia to the US last year after speaking out against the invasion.\n\n\u201cI did some public posts on social media \u2026 it was a matter of personal safety,\u201d he says.\n\nBorochkin was a university lecturer in economics in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod before being forced out in 2018 for his opposition to Russia's occupation of Crimea four years earlier. After the full-scale invasion in February 2022, he says, he \u201cwas morally prepared to leave\u201d his native country.\n\nUnable to travel directly to the US, he took \u201ca route that\u2019s not encouraged in any way\", flying first to Mexico and spending five weeks on a US government app \u2014 which he suspects contained \"intentional bugs\" \u2014 trying to get a meeting with US border officials to claim asylum.\n\nAfter he eventually got an appointment, Borochkin says that he crossed the port of entry \u201cwhere there is a river \u2026 and one must cross the beach by foot\u201d.\n\nHe crossed with five other Russians and asylum seekers from Central and South America. From the border, he headed north to Oregon, a Democratic-leaning state where he had the benefit of already knowing people.\n\nThe former academic noted how the final years of the Biden presidency have already seen the introduction of much stricter immigration controls.\n\n\u201cIf someone tries to repeat my way, it is just technically not possible,\u201d he says, explaining that people on Russian dissident Telegram channels are giving up trying to come to the US because of the six-month waiting periods they will face in Mexico.\n\nStill, he fears things will only get worse under Trump.\n\nHis sentiments were echoed by Dmitri Glinski, who has run a Russian pro-democracy organisation in New York for over two decades.\n\nCiting the controversial anti-immigration proposals contained in Project 2025 \u2014 a radical right-wing policy program that Trump previously distanced himself from before appointing several of its key authors to his new administration \u2014 Glinski told Euronews he was pessimistic about the next four years, which he said \u201cwill be challenging for any organisation concerned with immigrant rights, human rights, and democracy in America\u201d.\n\n\"However, I don't think fear is a helpful approach.\"\n\nRolling the dice\n\nDespite the long history of comments about Ukraine made by Trump and members of his senior team, not everyone Euronews spoke to is pessimistic.\n\n\u201cI believe that Trump will familiarise himself with intelligence research, and he will be forced to correct his claims made during the election,\u201d says Borochkin.\n\nIt is part of a wider sentiment explained by the spokesman for Razom.\n\n\u201cUnder Biden support was a trickle, just enough to survive,\" he said. \"Trump represented a roll of the dice, a lower floor but a higher ceiling\u201d.\n\nThis sense of possibility, along with widespread social conservatism, led many Ukrainians to hope Trump might win the election.\n\n\u201cThere was some sort of hysterical optimism about Trump. Which is, in my view, based on nothing,\u201d Vovk says of certain Ukrainians he follows, smiling and shaking his head.\n\n\u201cI know people of Ukrainian origin who are Trumpers, and I was trying to ask them, \u2018do you see the problem, this Temporary Protected Status of Ukrainians and so on?'\u201d\n\nAccording to him, their replies told a consistent story: they don\u2019t believe Trump will actually revoke their immigration status or follow through on any threats for funding Ukraine. But amongst Ukrainian refugees and those still in the country, he says, the mood is less positive.\n\n\u201cThere is significant frustration.

politics has often been an arena for angry minds,\u201d wrote historian Richard Hofstadter in Harper\u2019s Magazine in November 1964, referring to Barry Goldwater\u2019s 1964 presidential campaign. \n\nHis essay, \u201cThe Paranoid Style in American Politics,\u201d explored a recurring phenomenon: the tendency to construct paranoid visions, identifying a nefarious enemy plotting to undermine the American ideal. \n\nHofstadter described this as a psychological posture \u2013 an exaggerated suspicion and conspiratorial fantasy \u2013 not a psychiatric madness, but a way of thinking embraced by otherwise healthy individuals. This critique of the paranoid style is recurrently cited when American political life, as in the (new) Trump era, is marked by deep-seated fears and extremist rhetoric.\n\nHofstadter\u2019s insights resonate again with today\u2019s political climate. In the 1960s, Goldwater stoked fears of a country in peril, legitimizing extreme measures to preserve freedom. \n\nFast forward to the Trump era, and we find similar rhetoric, framing political opponents as existential threats to American values. Trump\u2019s political messaging fuelled the notion that the country\u2019s identity and future were at stake, leading to dangerous outcomes, such as the violent insurrection on 6 January 2021.\n\nThe Capitol riot was a stark manifestation of the paranoid style in modern American politics. A mob, convinced that the election had been stolen, stormed the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the results, threatening the peaceful transition of power \u2014 one of the cornerstones of constitutional democracy. \n\nThis event was a reminder that political rhetoric can lead to real-world violence. These are the circumstances where constitutional structures are truly tested.

This critique of the paranoid style is recurrently cited when American political life, as in the (new) Trump era, is marked by deep-seated fears and extremist rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Hofstadter\u2019s insights resonate again with today\u2019s political climate. In the 1960s, Goldwater stoked fears of a country in peril, legitimizing extreme measures to preserve freedom. <\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to the Trump era, and we find similar rhetoric, framing political opponents as existential threats to American values. Trump\u2019s political messaging fuelled the notion that the country\u2019s identity and future were at stake, leading to dangerous outcomes, such as the violent insurrection on 6 January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Capitol riot was a stark manifestation of the paranoid style in modern American politics. A mob, convinced that the election had been stolen, stormed the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the results, threatening the peaceful transition of power \u2014 one of the cornerstones of constitutional democracy. <\/p>\n<p>This event was a reminder that political rhetoric can lead to real-world violence. These are the circumstances where constitutional structures are truly tested. The existing constitutional and legal safeguards led to the former president being brought to trial by a special prosecutor, and parallel lawsuits brought Trump before the Supreme Court to challenge his right to run in an election. <\/p>\n<p>However, the court did not take the extraordinary step of removing a political leader from the political arena during an election year. The ruling was nonetheless controversial and only exposed the complex constitutional situation in place.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you afford anger to continue to escalate?<\/h2><p>American politics today reflects deep cultural anxiety, amplified by demographic changes and the perception that a once-dominant majority \u2014 white, male, and Protestant \u2014 does not entirely control political discourse, leaving its social and economic position feeling under threat. <\/p>\n<p>Identity politics has taken on a new form, where this traditionally powerful group now sees itself as marginalised, fearing displacement by a changing society.

The annual holiday takes place on the fourth Thursday of November. \n\nOutside of the US, Thanksgiving is rarely celebrated. As American media pivots to Thanksgiving-themed content, here\u2019s a quick Euronews Culture explainer on the special day.\n\nThe national holiday in the US originates from a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims and Puritans that had immigrated to the US from England in the early 17th century. According to legend, the holiday is also intrinsically linked to Native Americans, who taught settlers how to grow corn and catch fish.\n\nThe account of the first US Thanksgiving revolves around a meal that the Native American Wampanoag people helped prepare for newly arrived Pilgrims who had run out of resources in 1621.\n\nThis has long been a source of tension, due to the treatment of Native Americans historically by European colonists. In fact, Thanksgiving is known as the National Day of Mourning for many Native American communities. \n\nFor many, Thanksgiving is also a season of charity. Americans are encouraged to give what they can to organisations like the Salvation Army and provide food for the homeless.\n\nA traditional Thanksgiving meal consists of roast Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato with marshmallows, cranberry sauce, gravy, sweetcorn and pumpkin pie for dessert.\n\nSince the 1920\u2019s Thanksgiving has traditionally been the start of the Winter holiday season. It is also generally regarded as more important than Christmas, particularly in terms of spending time with family and friends.\n\nHere are some of the major ways Americans like to celebrate Thanksgiving: \n\nParades\n\nOne major feature of Thanksgiving is the parades. In New York, the Macy\u2019s Parade sees floats, balloons and oversized cartoon characters go down 6th Avenue. It ends at Macy\u2019s flagship store and is televised nationally each year.\n\nThis year\u2019s parade is the 100th anniversary of the Macy\u2019s tradition. As in 1924, there will be plenty of marching bands and lots of clowns, followed by the grand finale of Santa Claus riding through Manhattan and ushering in the holiday season.\n\nThis year's parade features 17 giant, helium-filled character balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns, 10 performance groups, award-winning singers and actors, and the WNBA champion New York Liberty.\n\nBlack Friday\n\nWhile not strictly held on Thanksgiving itself, Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US. Huge discounts are on offer, resulting in riot-like scenes as shoppers rush to grab the best deals.\n\nThanks in part to global American retailers like Amazon, Black Friday has become a worldwide event and many Europeans will be trying to get the best deals ahead of the Christmas season. \n\nSporting events\n\nSeveral sporting events are also held over the holiday period. In the NFL, games are played throughout the day on Thursday and across the weekend. In addition, there are also a number of big college football matches.\n\nTelevision specials\n\nThanksgiving TV Specials are another important cultural event. While not as big as Christmas, the big television production companies go to great lengths to boost viewing figures.\n\nTurkey pardoning\n\nAnd finally, the President \u2018pardons\u2019 two Turkeys at the White House each year, making sure they live happily ever after. Between 1873 and 1913, Rhode Island farmer Horace Vose sent a turkey to the White House. From this, a tradition grew. Turkey gifts to the president became a standard feature of the holiday.\n\nEverything became official in 1947 when President Harry S. Truman started the turkey presentation ceremony. The first time a turkey was \u201cpardoned\u201d though was when John F Kennedy suggested not eating his gifted bird three days before his assassination in 1963.\n\nThe act was called a pardon by the press and the tradition was enshrined by Ronald Reagan and made official by George H. W. Bush made it part of the ceremony. The turkeys are then sent off to live on farms while during 2005 to 2009, some were allowed to walk in the Thanksgiving Day Parade.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Americans at home and around the world are tucking into their turkey dinners today to celebrate Thanksgiving.

It ends at Macy\u2019s flagship store and is televised nationally each year.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s parade is the 100th anniversary of the Macy\u2019s tradition. As in 1924, there will be plenty of marching bands and lots of clowns, followed by the grand finale of Santa Claus riding through Manhattan and ushering in the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>This year's parade features 17 giant, helium-filled character balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns, 10 performance groups, award-winning singers and actors, and the WNBA champion New York Liberty.<\/p>\n<h2>Black Friday<\/h2><p>While not strictly held on Thanksgiving itself, Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the US. Huge discounts are on offer, resulting in riot-like scenes as shoppers rush to grab the best deals.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in part to global American retailers like Amazon, Black Friday has become a worldwide event and many Europeans will be trying to get the best deals ahead of the Christmas season. <\/p>\n<h2>Sporting events<\/h2><p>Several sporting events are also held over the holiday period. In the NFL, games are played throughout the day on Thursday and across the weekend. In addition, there are also a number of big college football matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Television specials<\/h2><p>Thanksgiving TV Specials are another important cultural event. While not as big as Christmas, the big television production companies go to great lengths to boost viewing figures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665213600697472\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//02//81//05//90//808x539_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg/" alt=\"Joe Biden stands with one of the national Thanksgiving turkeys, Peach\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/384x256_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/640x427_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/750x500_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/828x552_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/1080x720_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/1200x800_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/1920x1280_cmsv2_656f001b-ce36-5eaa-8ca8-a9adb5a29404-2810590.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Joe Biden stands with one of the national Thanksgiving turkeys, Peach<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Mark Schiefelbein\/Copyright 2024 The AP.

Between 1873 and 1913, Rhode Island farmer Horace Vose sent a turkey to the White House. From this, a tradition grew. Turkey gifts to the president became a standard feature of the holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Everything became official in 1947 when President Harry S. Truman started the turkey presentation ceremony. The first time a turkey was \u201cpardoned\u201d though was when John F Kennedy suggested not eating his gifted bird three days before his assassination in 1963.<\/p>\n<p>The act was called a pardon by the press and the tradition was enshrined by Ronald Reagan and made official by George H. W. Bush made it part of the ceremony. The turkeys are then sent off to live on farms while during 2005 to 2009, some were allowed to walk in the Thanksgiving Day Parade.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1479996240,"updatedAt":1732794367,"publishedAt":1732794360,"firstPublishedAt":1479996240,"lastPublishedAt":1732794367,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/02\/81\/05\/90\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_8d9fab0d-5e68-55ee-81df-7b490a8b3942-2810590.jpg","altText":"President

President-elect Donald Trump carries out his threat to impose 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation, economists are warning.\n\nCompanies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, cars, alcohol and other goods, they said.\n\nLonger term, said Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the threat of tariffs could make the US an \"unstable partner\" in international trade. \"It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,\" she said.\n\nTariffs could also hit food prices\n\nThe President-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the US. But his posts on Monday on Truth Social [the Trump-owned social media site] threatening the tariffs on his first day in office could just be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behaviour.\n\nHigh food prices were a major issue in voters picking Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, but tariffs almost certainly would push those costs up even further.\n\nWashington trade group, the Produce Distributors Association, said tariffs would raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt US farmers when other countries retaliate.\n\n\"Tariffs distort the marketplace and will raise prices along the supply chain, resulting in the consumer paying more at the checkout line,\" said Alan Siger, association president.\n\nMexico and Canada are two of the biggest exporters of fresh fruit and vegetables to the US. \n\nCar companies see shares take a big hit\n\nThe US is the largest importer of goods in the world, with Mexico, China and Canada its top three suppliers, according to the most recent US Census data. \n\nPeople looking to buy a new vehicle arelikely to see big price increases as well, at a time when costs have risen so much that many cannot afford to buy one. The average price of a new vehicle is around $48,000 (\u20ac46,000).\n\nAbout 15% of the 15.6 million new vehicles sold in the US last year came from Mexico, while 8% crossed the border from Canada, according to Global Data.\n\nMuch of the tariffs would get passed along to consumers, unless car makers can somehow quickly find productivity improvements to offset them, said CJ Finn, US automotive sector leader for PwC. That means even more consumers \"would potentially get priced out.\" \n\nProduction also likely to be affected\n\nHardest hit would be Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford, Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska wrote in a note to investors on Tuesday. \"A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada would severely cripple the US auto industry,\" he said.\n\nThe tariffs would hurt US industrial production so much that \"we expect this is unlikely to happen in practice\", Roeska said. \n\nThe tariff threat hit car stocks on Tuesday, particularly shares of GM, which imports about 30% of the vehicles it sells in the US from Canada and Mexico, and Stellantis, which imports about 40% from the two countries. \n\nFor both, about 55% of their lucrative pickup trucks come from Mexico and Canada. GM stock lost almost 9% of its value, while Stellantis dropped nearly 6%.\n\nIt's not clear how long the tariffs would last if implemented, but they could force car making executives to move production to the US, which could create more jobs in the long run. \n\nHowever, Morningstar analyst David Whiston said car makers probably won't make any immediate moves because they can't quickly change where they build vehicles.\n\nTrade treaty heading towards review date \n\nTrump has sound legal justification to impose tariffs, even though they conflict with a 2020 trade deal brokered in large part by Trump with Canada and Mexico, said William Reinsch, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Clinton administration trade official. \n\nThe treaty, known as the USMCA, is up for review in 2026.\n\nIn China's case, Reinsch said, Trump could simply declare Beijing hasn't met obligations under an agreement he negotiated in his first term. For Canada and Mexico, he could say the influx of migrants and drugs are a national security threat, and turn to a section of trade law he used in his first term to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum.\n\nThe law he would most likely use for Canada and Mexico has a legal process that often takes up to nine months, giving Trump time to seek a deal.\n\nIf talks failed and the duties were imposed, all three countries would be likely retaliate with tariffs on US exports, said Reinsch, who believes Trump's tariffs threat is a negotiating ploy.\n\nUS companies would lobby intensively against tariffs, and would seek to have products exempted. Some of the biggest exporters from Mexico are US firms that make parts there, Reinsch said.\n\nLonger term, Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the threat of tariffs could make the US an \"unstable partner\" in international trade. \"It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,\" she said.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>If President-elect Donald Trump carries out his threat to impose 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation, economists are warning.<\/p>\n<p>Companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, cars, alcohol and other goods, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Longer term, said Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the threat of tariffs could make the US an \"unstable partner\" in international trade. \"It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,\" she said.<\/p>\n<h2>Tariffs could also hit food prices<\/h2><p>The President-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the US.

Chronic Illness and Disease,\" Trump wrote.\n\nThe NIH falls under the US Department of Health and Human Services, which Kennedy would oversee.\n\nThe NIH's $48 billion (\u20ac44.4 billion) budget pays for medical research on vaccines, cancer, and other diseases through competitive grants to researchers at institutions across the US and also conducts its own research with thousands of scientists working at NIH labs.\n\nMany countries in Europe also have NIH-funded activities, focusing mainly on HIV\/AIDS, immunology, mosquito-borne illnesses, and the flu, according to the agency.\n\nNIH funding has supported a medication for opioid addiction, a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, many new cancer drugs, and the speedy development of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.\n\nThe decision to choose Bhattacharya for the NIH job is yet another reminder of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the politics of public health in the US.\n\nBhattacharya was one of three authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, an October 2020 open letter maintaining that lockdowns were causing irreparable harm.\n\nThe document \u2013 which came before the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and during the first Trump administration \u2013 promoted \u201cherd immunity,\u201d the idea that people at low risk should live normally while building up immunity to COVID-19 through infection. Protection should focus instead on people at higher risk, the letter said.\n\n\u201cI think the lockdowns were the single biggest public health mistake,\u201d Bhattacharya said in March 2021 during a panel discussion hosted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.\n\nThe Great Barrington Declaration was embraced by some in the first Trump administration, even as it was widely denounced by disease experts.\n\nThen-NIH director Dr Francis Collins called it dangerous and \u201cnot mainstream science\u201d.\n\nIn a statement posted to X, Bhattacharya said he was \u201chonored and humbled\u201d by the nomination.\n\n\u201cWe will reform American scientific institutions so that they are worthy of trust again and will deploy the fruits of excellent science to make America healthy again,\u201d he said.\n\nThe announcement fills out Trump\u2019s senior health team as he prepares for his second term beginning in January.\n\nThe Senate would need to approve Bhattacharya as well as Trump\u2019s other choices, including Kennedy to lead the health department, Dr Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) \u2013 the US\u2019s public health insurance programme \u2013 and Dr Marty Makary to lead the regulatory Food and Drug Administration (FDA).\n\n","htmlText":"<p>US President-elect Donald Trump has picked Dr Jay Bhattacharya, a health economist and critic of pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world\u2019s largest biomedical research agency.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said in a statement that Bhattacharya, a 56-year-old physician and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, will work with Robert F Kennedy Jr, his pick to lead the US health department, \u201cto direct the Nation\u2019s Medical Research, and to make important discoveries that will improve Health, and save lives\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, Jay and RFK Jr. will restore the NIH to a Gold Standard of Medical Research as they examine the underlying causes of, and solutions to, America\u2019s biggest Health challenges, including our Crisis of Chronic Illness and Disease,\" Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The NIH falls under the US Department of Health and Human Services, which <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2024//11//15//trump-picks-vaccine-sceptic-robert-f-kennedy-jr-to-be-in-charge-of-public-health/">Kennedy would oversee.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"8840712\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//health//2024//11//10//donald-trump-and-rfk-jr-want-to-make-america-healthy-again-where-does-that-leave-europe/">Donald Trump and RFK Jr want to \u2018Make America Healthy Again\u2019.

If Lamar\u2019s conceptual approach to hip-hop helped label him one of the generation\u2019s greatest rappers, what kind of statement is he intending to make through the shock new release? \n\nReleasing \u2018GNX\u2019 with little fanfare on Friday night, the music industry scrambled to catch up with the surprise new album from hip-hop\u2019s most prominent figure. In many ways, this album is the victory lap for Lamar, who has asserted his dominance in 2024 through his highly publicised diss-track battle with Canadian rapper Drake and the announcement of his solo headline show at next year\u2019s Super Bowl. \n\nFrom the off, Lamar\u2019s beef with Drake is front and centre of \u2018GNX\u2019. Although rarely mentioned directly, this is an album about him proving his status as one of rap\u2019s GOATs, a statement that exists in direct relation with the Drake conflict. Over the heavy trap beat that pulses throughout the entire album like a bitter lethargic heartbeat, opener \u2018wacced out murals\u2019 has Lamar on angry form. \n\nHis back is up, he\u2019s tired of defending himself against accusations, and he feels he\u2019s proven himself all too many times already. Through oblique and clear references to rappers he has a grudge with \u2013 Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg get direct shout-outs \u2013 the fundamental core of the track is still affirmative. \u201cKnow you a god even when they say you ain't\u201d he spits on the chorus. \n\nIt\u2019s followed by the most clearly delineated single from the album. \u2018squabble up\u2019 doubles down on the bassline as well as Lamar\u2019s fighting instinct. As he says in LA slang, he\u2019s ready to \u201csquabble up\u201d as to a chorus of support, a Debbie Deb sample and a G-funk aesthetic, Lamar makes it clear he\u2019s not one to mess with. \n\n\u2018squabble up\u2019 was the first true indication of the album, with a short segment of it included in the music video for \u2018Not Like Us\u2019, Lamar\u2019s most barbaric takedown of Drake with his overt accusations that the Canadian is a paedophile. It makes sense then that the song is the apotheosis of his frustrations. \n\nAs his shortest studio release and coming just two years after \u2018Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers\u2019 when Lamar is known for long periods between albums, \u2018GNX\u2019 can at first feel a bit reactionary to his industry-centric squabbling. It\u2019s refreshing then that the tone changes for third track \u2018luther\u2019. \n\nSuddenly, classical Spanish guitar and SZA\u2019s delicate vocals infiltrate the abyssal fury of the previous songs. As SZA and Lamar\u2019s vocals blend over sweet nothings as the pair evoke their intimate desire for each other. As Lamar wishes for a simpler, more peaceful and joyous time, the refrain of \u201cif this world was mine\u201d acts as an appendix, noting their relative powerlessness. It\u2019s a suggestion that all this hyper-masculine anger is only a reaction to worldly circumstances. \n\nThat sentiment of constraint and reaction continues through to \u2018man at the garden\u2019, now juxtaposed with Lamar demanding that \u201cI deserve it all\u201d in regards to any of his desires, including the purchase of a 1987 Buick GNX car, the same model his father owned when he was born. \n\nLamar asks for basics: \u201cA better life for my daughter \/ Made my son take it further than his father\u201d, alongside a feeling of persecution that reaches a biblical scale; yet throughout he affirms that he deserves all he\u2019s earnt. Ultimately he ends the track with another barb at Drake as he confirms his status as \u201cthe greatest of all time, motherfucker\u201d. \n\nThis segues into \u2018hey now\u2019, which acts as another clarion call for Lamar\u2019s own importance within the music industry. A thick beat from producer Mustard continues the atmosphere of dread but at this point, the near constant self-affirmation is starting to wear a little thin. \n\nOn mid-album track \u2018reincarnated\u2019, Lamar returns to what\u2019s made him so celebrated. His ability to tell stories through high concept imagery. Here, he relates an out-of-body experience where he comes to the core of his alienation through thinking of who he was in potential previous lives. \n\n\u201cI don't know how to make friends, I'm a lonely soul\u201d Lamar raps, before entering into fugue states as he relives the experiences of being blue musician John Lee Hooker and jazz singer Billie Holiday before his final reincarnation as himself, Kendrick Lamar. \n\nIt\u2019s as himself that Lamar faces retribution from a divine presence, voiced by his reflection. His father asks to hear every good deed and what he\u2019s done it for. It\u2019s now that Lamar mentions both his charity work and the time he brought the LA rival gangs, the Bloods and the Crips on stage together through his Drake diss track \u2018Not Like Us\u2019, earlier this year. \n\nFew would be surprised by Lamar\u2019s pride in this last achievement given the focus on \u2018GNX\u2019 of his beef with Drake. What\u2019s surprising is Lamar\u2019s sudden self-criticism. \u201cI'm tryna push peace in LA \/ \u2019But you love war\u2019 \/ No, I don't \/ \u2018Oh, yes, you do\u2019,\u201d Lamar argues with the divine. For the rest of the track, Lamar criticises himself for his lack of forgiveness, his pride and his ego. It ends with Lamar promising to use the gift of his music for more virtuous goals. \n\nWhat\u2019s disappointing is that this isn\u2019t a turning point in the album\u2019s theme. For the rest of the tracklisting, Lamar routinely comes back to his central theme of self-aggrandisation and ownership of the hip-hop industry, often in relation to Drake. \u2018tv off\u2019 has another Mustard beat which makes for the hardest hitting of the tracklist, it feels perfectly designed to be blasted out of a low-rider\u2019s stereo while cruising through downtown. \n\nSimilarly, on \u2018dodger blue\u2019 and \u2018peekaboo\u2019, Lamar tells tales of his impact on the West Coast rap scene and puts down other rappers he considers below him. It\u2019s not till \u2018heart pt. 6\u2019, that we get something more approaching humility as Lamar creates an ode to the musicians that Lamar has worked with, been inspired by and inspired. As the sixth entry in his \u2018The Heart\u2019 series, it could have been easily derailed by Drake\u2019s own reactionary release \u2018The Heart Part 6\u2019 but thankfully, Lamar rises above it. \n\nAs the album wraps up, we finally get \u2018gnx\u2019 as Lamar and guest rappers Peysoh, Hitta J3 and YoungThreat are grandstanding once again about the influence of West Coast rap. Finally, SZA is the feature on closer \u2018gloria\u2019 which brings back Lamar\u2019s romantic instinct in a sweet paean to his complex but loving relationship with writing as an outlet. \n\nIt\u2019s what \u2018GNX\u2019 has been about all along. Writing is Lamar\u2019s outlet and clearly he\u2019s in an angry place. As a result, we have Lamar\u2019s clearest most immediate album. There\u2019s little ambiguity around the intense beats and his lyricism here. Stylistically, there\u2019s much to like as Lamar has gone for the jugular. As a fan of Lamar when he\u2019s deconstructing his life and America in general, this feels like a lesser work from the rapper. There\u2019s nothing like the depth of introspection on \u2018Mother I Sober\u2019 or \u2018u\u2019 to be found here. On the other hand, he\u2019s also not returned fully to the instant hip-hop classics of his \u2018Good Kid, M.A.A.D City\u2019 era. As the US enters a new era of tumultuous politics, there\u2019s a gnawing feeling that this is a missed opportunity. \n\n'GNX' by Kendrick Lamar is out now. \n\n","htmlText":"<p><em>\u201cFuck a double entendre, I want y\u2019all to feel this shit,\u201d<\/em> Kendrick Lamar raps on the opening song of his new album.

Here, he relates an out-of-body experience where he comes to the core of his alienation through thinking of who he was in potential previous lives. <\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI don't know how to make friends, I'm a lonely soul\u201d<\/em> Lamar raps, before entering into fugue states as he relives the experiences of being blue musician John Lee Hooker and jazz singer Billie Holiday before his final reincarnation as himself, Kendrick Lamar. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as himself that Lamar faces retribution from a divine presence, voiced by his reflection. His father asks to hear every good deed and what he\u2019s done it for. It\u2019s now that Lamar mentions both his charity work and the time he brought the LA rival gangs, the Bloods and the Crips on stage together through his Drake diss track \u2018Not Like Us\u2019, earlier this year. <\/p>\n<p>Few would be surprised by Lamar\u2019s pride in this last achievement given the focus on \u2018GNX\u2019 of his beef with Drake. What\u2019s surprising is Lamar\u2019s sudden self-criticism. <em>\u201cI'm tryna push peace in LA \/ \u2019But you love war\u2019 \/ No, I don't \/ \u2018Oh, yes, you do\u2019,\u201d<\/em> Lamar argues with the divine. For the rest of the track, Lamar criticises himself for his lack of forgiveness, his pride and his ego. It ends with Lamar promising to use the gift of his music for more virtuous goals. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"8873876,8409714\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//11//26//desperate-drake-alleges-universal-falsely-inflated-popularity-of-kendrick-lamar-track-not-/">Desperate Drake alleges Universal falsely inflated popularity of Kendrick Lamar track 'Not Like Us'<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//05//01//euphoria-a-short-history-of-kendrick-lamars-beef-with-drake/">Kendrick Lamar posts another new Drake diss track: A short history of their beef<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s disappointing is that this isn\u2019t a turning point in the album\u2019s theme. For the rest of the tracklisting, Lamar routinely comes back to his central theme of self-aggrandisation and ownership of the hip-hop industry, often in relation to Drake. \u2018tv off\u2019 has another Mustard beat which makes for the hardest hitting of the tracklist, it feels perfectly designed to be blasted out of a low-rider\u2019s stereo while cruising through downtown. <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, on \u2018dodger blue\u2019 and \u2018peekaboo\u2019, Lamar tells tales of his impact on the West Coast rap scene and puts down other rappers he considers below him. It\u2019s not till \u2018heart pt. 6\u2019, that we get something more approaching humility as Lamar creates an ode to the musicians that Lamar has worked with, been inspired by and inspired. As the sixth entry in his \u2018The Heart\u2019 series, it could have been easily derailed by Drake\u2019s own reactionary release \u2018The Heart Part 6\u2019 but thankfully, Lamar rises above it. <\/p>\n<p>As the album wraps up, we finally get \u2018gnx\u2019 as Lamar and guest rappers Peysoh, Hitta J3 and YoungThreat are grandstanding once again about the influence of West Coast rap. Finally, SZA is the feature on closer \u2018gloria\u2019 which brings back Lamar\u2019s romantic instinct in a sweet paean to his complex but loving relationship with writing as an outlet. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s what \u2018GNX\u2019 has been about all along. Writing is Lamar\u2019s outlet and clearly he\u2019s in an angry place. As a result, we have Lamar\u2019s clearest most immediate album. There\u2019s little ambiguity around the intense beats and his lyricism here. Stylistically, there\u2019s much to like as Lamar has gone for the jugular. As a fan of Lamar when he\u2019s deconstructing his life and America in general, this feels like a lesser work from the rapper. There\u2019s nothing like the depth of introspection on \u2018Mother I Sober\u2019 or \u2018u\u2019 to be found here. On the other hand, he\u2019s also not returned fully to the instant hip-hop classics of his \u2018Good Kid, M.A.A.D City\u2019 era. As the US enters a new era of <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//11//07//the-biggest-celebrity-and-online-reactions-to-donald-trumps-victory/">tumultuous politics<\/strong><\/a>, there\u2019s a gnawing feeling that this is a missed opportunity. <\/p>\n<p><strong>'GNX' by Kendrick Lamar is out now.<\/strong>

when you thought the hip-hop beef was over, the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has taken a surprising turn.\n\nWhile we won\u2019t resume the whole back and forth between the two

seems that Drake just can\u2019t get over it.\n\nIndeed, Drake has alleged in a court filing that Universal Music Group (UMG) falsely pumped up the popularity on Spotify and other streaming services of Lamar\u2019s diss track \u2018Not Like Us\u2019 - the song that was the final nail in Drake\u2019s\u00a0coffin and exposed him as the weaker of the two artists.\n\nThe petition in a New York court by the rapper's company Frozen Moments LLC demands the preservation and divulgence of information that might be evidence in a potential lawsuit against UMG, which is the distributor for the record labels of both Drake and Lamar.\n\nThe filing says the record company \u201claunched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves with a song, \u2018Not Like Us,\u2019 in order to make that song go viral, including by using \u2018bots\u2019 and pay-to-play agreements.\u201d It said the company and Spotify \u201chave a long-standing, symbiotic business

The retreat appears to be driven by profit-taking as the post-Trump rally stalled, lacking a fresh catalyst for bitcoin investors to propel the world's largest cryptocurrency past the key physicological barrier of $100,000 (\u20ac95,400).\n\nBitcoin reached a fresh high of above $99,000 (\u20ac94,400) last Friday, a 46% rally since 5 November amid Trump's win in the US election. Bitcoin surged before and after the US election, as markets expected that the Trump administration would adopt policies favourable to cryptocurrencies. The president-elect said he would make America a \"crypto capital\" in his campaign.\u00a0\n\nDespite the decline, analysts believe that Bitcoin's uptrend is not over. \n\n\"There is no doubt that reaching the $100,000 mark will be a significant psychology level for many and we may see some profit taking along the way,\" Josh Gilbert, a market analyst at eToro Australia, wrote in a note to clients on Friday.\u00a0\n\nBitcoin has gained 122% year-to-date, buoyed by the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in February and a Bitcoin halving event in April. Meanwhile, central banks' rate cuts and relaxation in liquidities provided a macro tailwind to cryptocurrencies this year.\u00a0\n\nSignificant liquidation\n\nThe cryptocurrency markets often see huge volatility due to a lack of fundamental base for valuations. \"The price action in BTC is indicating bubble behaviour - a departure from any known valuation method,\" said Michael McCarthy, market strategist and CCO at Moomoo Australia.\u00a0\n\nThe digital tokens' price movements purely depend on speculative trades on technical analysis on charts.
