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.

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. In a media release on November 24, the US embassy said the meeting will focus on the two nations’ strong bi-lateral relationship, strengthening regional stability and the vital importance to both countries of countering the illicit traffic in drugs and transnational criminal organisations. Caine's arrival in TT follows two recent visits by the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit to TT for military drills with the TT Defence Force. The USS Gravely, carrying members of the elite unit, arrived in TT from October 26-30. A second visit by the unit took place from November 16-21. US warships have been arriving in the Southern Caribbean since late August as part of an anti-drug trafficking operation, which has been supported by the TT government. 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

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."

Victim of home invasion pleads for stand-your-ground laws A senior citizen, who was a victim of a home invasion on Monday, says he is disappointed that the promised stand-your-ground legislation has not yet been enforced. The resident of Central Trinidad is pleading with lawmakers to put security measures in place before the Christmas season, when there is usually a spike in violent crimes. Speaking to the Express at his Ravine Sable, Longdenville, home yesterday, the 61-year-old owner of a transport company said he believed the implementation of stand-your-ground legislation would protect law-abiding citizens. The homeowner said he and his wife were at home when four masked men entered around 7.15 p.m. when they were watching the news on television. He said the men, one armed with a gun, pulled into his driveway in a white-coloured MG sport utility vehicle. “I heard the horn blow and I walk out to see who it is, when I see some men jumping out a car. One point a gun at me and tell me to walk back inside the room,” he recalled, adding, the men shouted “where the money” and ransacked the house. “I had some money in the room, about $2,900, and I gave that to them—but they say that is not all the money, and they want the money,” he continued. Three of the men, he said, left the one-bedroom apartment, and went to the main house, where they broke a window, entered the property and ransacked the house. His son, who lives in the main house, was not at home at the time of the incident, he said. The intruders found $60,000, jewelry, cellphones, a battery charger, a cordless drill, and $2,000 in alcohol. Asked why the large sum of money was kept at home, he said his son had recently collected four hands of sou-sou and he had sold an engine from a truck. He believed the incident was not a random attack. “I believe it was a tip-off. The boy in the room with my wife and I told us that somebody sent them here, and if they ent get what they send them here for, the person who send them will have to pay the consequences,” he said. As a resident of Ravine Sable for 33 years, he said this was the first time he was a victim of crime. “I don’t feel safe here now. Every day something happening in this country. When it hit home, that’s when you realise what people going through. I never thought this would happen in my wildest dreams,” he added. Read more
