US formally designates Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as foreign terrorist organization On November 16, the United States designated the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, adding it to the State Department foreign terrorist organization list and enabling new sanctions targeting Maduro's assets. Known as a decentralized network within Venezuela's armed forces, the Cartel de los Soles has long been linked to drug trafficking; the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned it in July, saying President Nicolás Maduro and allies bent state power to aid trafficking. More than 80 people have been killed in U.S. strikes on suspected trafficking boats, and commercial airlines including Iberia, TAP, LATAM, Avianca and GOL suspended flights after FAA warnings, with Turkish Airlines canceling November 24 to 28 services. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the designation gives a whole bunch of new options, declining to provide details, and officials say the designation could offer legal cover for potential direct military action. Seventy percent of Americans oppose U.S. military action in Venezuela, while President Nicolás Maduro and Maduro's government denied the charges and called the accusation a `ridiculous fabrication` Monday.

Angostura looks to shake up New York ANGOSTURA continues to explore opportunities to enhance its global brand as it has launched a bold campaign in New York, celebrating the company’s iconic bitters and world-renowned rums. Designed to increase brand awareness, the comprehensive campaign is being rolled out throughout November. This includes major large format placements on a billboard, digital kiosks and hand-painted wall in Williamsburg and Lower Manhattan. These areas were chosen for their strong cocktail culture and proximity to high-foot-traffic areas, on-premises accounts, and public transit. In August, Angostura rums and bitters took centre stage in Times Square, New York City, one of the most iconic advertising locations, as its products lit up in a 15-second advertisement running in a continuous loop. The current campaign in New York focuses on Angostura bitters range and marks a significant step in the company’s accelerated growth strategy within its largest international markets. The New York City campaign is being driven by an Angostura bitters-led theme, “Inspiring Cocktail Creativity”, to elevate everyday drinks into crafted cocktails. The US is Angostura’s largest international market, and the company is expanding its footprint throughout the country. Angostura advertises on a digital board in New York.. - Angostura’s acting CEO Ian Forbes said, “This campaign represents an important time for the Angostura brand in the US as our goal is to deepen visibility, strengthen relevance with our consumers, and highlight how Angostura bitters transform mixology – whether at home or behind the bar.” "By amplifying our presence in New York, Angostura is reinforcing its international expansion. The company will continue to pursue high-impact opportunities across global markets, ensuring its iconic bitters and rums remain essential to cocktail and culinary cultures worldwide. Our products are available in over 170 markets." Angostura commercial manager Leesha Alexander recently spoke to TV6 about expanding the company's footprint. "We've been able to show up in a grander scale outside of TT as well," she said. She said the company has featured its products in Greece, UK and New York. "We are also waving that flag for Angostura and TT, just really focusing on innovation – very important part to our strategy." She said an Angostura brand ambassador recently visited Easter Island, a remote volcanic island, renowned for its archeological sites, in Chile. "Even though we don't have a direct trade with Easter Island, the product is available at the bars out there. We continue to promote the distribution of our products We are at most major markets where the product is allowed." Forbes said bitters has blazed a trail and opened markets for Angostura's premium rums. "Our premium rums are in approximately 60 countries around the world, and there is the opportunity now to follow the part blazed by Angostura (bitters)..It's a tag-team arrangement where Angostura opens the markets for our premium rums to follow."

US top military officer at Diplomatic Centre US chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Dan Caine has arrived in Trinidad and Tobago for a meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Caine, the primary military advisor to US President Donald Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the UN National Security Council, arrived in TT around 11 am and is currently at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's.

However, the presence of the warships has been criticised by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who has accused the US of seeking regime change and TT of facilitating such. Persad-Bissessar has insisted that the US operations are solely geared towards combating drug trafficking. Read more

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine has already departed from Trinidad this afternoon after meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and members of her Cabinet. Caine arrived in Trinidad on an official US aircraft this morning at the Piarco International airport, and met with Persad-Bissessar at the diplomatic centre in St Ann’s. Present at the meeting were Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath, Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander, Minister of Defence Wayne Sturge, and Attorney General John Jeremie. Details of what was discussed in the meeting have not yet been disclosed to the public. Caine however departed Trinidad shortly before 2.p.m. on the aircraft believed to be bound for Puerto Rico. Caine and Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff David Isom had visited members of the US 346th Air Expeditionary Wing and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 225, prior to the visit. He also visited the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70). The Joint Staff posted that Caine met with sailors underway in the Caribbean sea and thanked them for their professionalism and “continued, outstanding service during the Thanksgiving holiday season.” He also received updates from leadership and toured key spaces to gain a firsthand understanding of what the crew is accomplishing while underway. The US Embassy in Port of Spain yesterday stated that Persad-Bissessar and Gen. Caine were expected discuss the two nations’ “strong bi-lateral relationship, strengthening regional stability, and regional unity on the vital importance of countering illicit trafficking and transnational criminal organizations. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar also yesterday acknowledged the visit. Stating that the meeting came at the request of the US government, and that details would be shared with the media after it occurred, Yesterday the New York Times reported on Caine’s visit to the region, stating that the reason for the trip was to thank US troops ahead of Thanksgiving. The Times reported that Caine has been a major part of the Operation Southern Spear, under which the US’ deployment of numerous warships, at least 15,000 troops and the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier in Caribbean waters, has been named. The US has claimed that this build up and the 21 lethal boat strikes carried out in the region by the US military which have thus far killed 82 are part of an effort to stymie the flow of drugs in the region, and its effect on American citizens. But his visit comes as pressure on neighbouring Venezuela mounts, and on the heels of the conclusion of Joint exercises between the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) last week.

Real Madrid seems to be evolving strategically — not just on the pitch, but in how they’re structured financially. Opening up a small stake to outside investors could give them more firepower in the transfer market and long-term projects, while still preserving their member-owned identity.

Four Windies players hit fifties in New Zealand warm-up match WEST INDIES batsmen got stuck in on day one of their two-day warm-up match against a New Zealand XI at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln University, on November 25, as the visitors closed on 346 for five at stumps. With the match serving as vital preparation for West Indies ahead of their three-match Test series against the Kiwis, which bowls off on December 1, the top order showed good form after the regional team won the toss. Tagenarine Chanderpaul (85 off 211 balls), Brandon King (79 off 91), John Campbell (68 off 98) and Kavem Hodge (55 not out off 102) all scored fifties in a strong batting display. Campbell and Chanderpaul set the tone in their 130-run opening partnership, with the former being the aggressor as he struck nine fours and a six before being caught at mid-off from the bowling of left-arm pacer Thomas O'Connor (one for 31). King then showed his intent early with a couple of stylish cover drives to the boundary, and he and Chanderpaul took the regional team to Tea without further loss as the score moved to 207. Chanderpaul struck five fours and two sixes in his innings, which was retired at the Tea interval as he made way for Hodge, who's hoping to suit up in his first Test since the tour of Pakistan in January. After scoring 12 boundaries in a breezy innings, King was the next man to be dismissed when he was caught and bowled by leg-spinner Rahman Hekmat (one for 84) as the Windies slipped to 251 for three. Middle-order batsman Alick Athanaze didn't stick around for long and made a cameo of 23 off 34 balls before he was dismissed by Toby Hart (one for 28). Hodge and wicket-keeper/batsman Tevin Imlach (25 off 46) then added 68 runs for the fifth wicket before the latter was bowled by left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox with what turned out to be the final ball of the day's play as he went for an extravagant cover drive.
