BUENOS AIRES : Argentina’s government is negotiating with the United States over a potential agreement that would provide trade advantages to the South American nation. President Javier Milei confirmed the discussions during a television interview on Wednesday. “There is an issue of trade advantages that the United States would be giving us; the U.S. has strongly favored Argentina,“ Milei stated. The United States Treasury purchased Argentine pesos in the open market again, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bessent added that the department is collaborating with banks and investment funds to establish a 20 billion dollar facility for investing in Argentina’s sovereign debt. Milei also indicated he would evaluate cabinet changes following Argentina’s midterm elections in October. The country will hold midterm elections on 26 October, representing a critical challenge for Milei as he approaches the second half of his term. Milei faces declining approval ratings and legislative gridlock in an opposition-dominated Congress. U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that the United States would not “waste our time” with Argentina if Milei’s party loses the parliamentary elections. However, Milei asserted that Trump had voiced support for his government, which will remain in office until at least 2027. – Reuters

WELLINGTON : Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jim Bolger has died at the age of 90, his family confirmed in a statement. Bolger served as the country’s prime minister from 1990 to 1997 and was a key figure in advancing reconciliation with indigenous Maori. He passed away on Wednesday surrounded by his wife Joan, their nine children, and 18 grandchildren. The former leader had been undergoing dialysis after suffering kidney failure last year. Bolger entered parliament in 1972 and became National Party leader in 1986 before leading the party to victory in the 1990 election. He retired from politics in 1998 and later served as New Zealand’s ambassador to the United States until 2002. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon described Bolger as a principled and formidable colleague and a worthy adversary. Bolger’s government introduced the Mixed Member Proportional electoral system which remains in use today. His administration also concluded the first major settlements between the government and Maori tribes for colonial impacts. Waikato Tainui chair Tukoroirangi Morgan said Bolger leaves an unsurpassed legacy in the settlement space. Morgan credited Bolger with modernising the reconciliation process to reflect a more contemporary national reality. Bolger was a committed republican who advocated for New Zealand to become a republic separate from Britain. He declined a knighthood after leaving politics and was instead made a member of the Order of New Zealand. – Reuters

BALIK PULAU – Polis masih menjalankan siasatan susulan maklumat baharu yang diterima berhubung kes seorang lelaki yang didakwa menjadi mangsa sindiket penipuan kerja di Thailand hingga ibunya terpaksa membayar wang tebusan bagi membebaskannya bulan lalu.Ketua Polis Daerah Barat Daya, Asisten Komisioner Sazalee Adam berkata, beberapa maklumat terkini telah diperoleh namun pihaknya tidak dapat mendedahkan secara terperinci kerana siasatan masih diteruskan."Proses siasatan sedang dijalankan dan kami telah menerima beberapa maklumat baharu berkaitan kes ini. Usaha mengesan lelaki yang dilaporkan hilang juga masih diteruskan."Berdasarkan semakan dengan rekod Jabatan Imigresen, tiada rekod perjalanan keluar negara direkodkan sejak tahun 2019, jadi kami percaya dia masih berada dalam negara," katanya pada sidang akhbar di Ibupejabat Polis Daerah Barat Daya di sini pada Khamis.Sazalee menambah, pihaknya juga sedang mengesan individu yang memiliki akaun e-wallet antarabangsa digunakan untuk menerima wang daripada ibu mangsa bagi tujuan pembayaran tebusan yang dituntut sindiket berkenaan.Kes disiasat di bawah Seksyen 347 dan Seksyen 384 Kanun Keseksaan.Terdahulu, siasatan mendapati lelaki berusia 25 tahun itu tidak pernah meninggalkan Malaysia sejak pulang dari China pada 21 Oktober 2019, selepas kali terakhir ke negara itu pada 13 Oktober tahun sama.Polis turut menyiasat kes berkenaan dari pelbagai sudut bagi mengenal pasti punca sebenar kejadian.Sazalee berkata, kertas siasatan dibuka selepas ibu lelaki tersebut tampil membuat laporan polis kerana khuatir akan keselamatan anaknya.Sebelum ini, media melaporkan mangsa yang dikenali sebagai Lai dan bekerja sebagai kontraktor ubah suai dipercayai menjadi mangsa sindiket penipuan kerja di Thailand.Dia dikatakan dikawal ketat oleh kumpulan berkenaan sejak pertengahan September lalu.Ibunya, Rose, 52, kemudiannya dilaporkan mula dihubungi kumpulan sindiket itu pada 16 September lalu dan menerima ugutan meminta wang tebusan dengan ancaman bahawa tangan anaknya akan dipotong sekiranya enggan membayar.Rose berkata, dia hanya sempat mendengar suara anaknya sebentar ketika panggilan dibuat, dipercayai di bawah pengawasan sindiket tersebut.Susulan ugutan itu, dia membuat dua bayaran iaitu yang pertama sebanyak AS$5,000 (RM23,500) dan kedua AS$8,000 (RM37,600), sebelum kumpulan itu menuntut tambahan AS$2,000 (RM9,400) lagi.

APPLE’S Ke Yang, the newly tapped executive leading an effort to develop a ChatGPT-like AI-driven web search, is stepping down to join Meta, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Just weeks ago, Yang was appointed head of a team called Answers, Knowledge and Information, or AKI, which is central to the Siri voice assistant’s overhaul, planned for March, the report said. Apple, Meta and Yang did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. Yang has been with Apple since 2019, according to his LinkedIn profile. Meta has intensified Silicon Valley’s talent war through aggressive hiring aiming to challenge rivals, including OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, as the tech firms pour significant investment into AI in the race to superintelligence. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company had poached top AI executives from the iPhone maker before, including Robby Walker and Ruoming Pang, as earlier reported by Bloomberg News. - Reuters

KLANG - Remaja yang menikam seorang pelajar perempuan berusia 16 tahun dalam kejadian di sebuah sekolah menengah di Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya pada Selasa dipercayai mempunyai masalah pembelajaran.Ketua Polis Selangor, Datuk Shazeli Kahar berkata, dakwaan bahawa pihak sekolah mengetahui suspek mempunyai masalah mental adalah tidak benar.‎"Suspek ada menjalani proses kaunseling pemulihan untuk memperbaiki dari segi kaedah pembelajaran dan bukan melibatkan masalah personaliti atau kesihatan mental."Jadi tersebarnya dakwaan menyatakan pihak sekolah tidak mengambil tindakan awal berkaitan keadaan mental suspek sama sekali tidak tepat," katanya.Beliau berkata demikian dalam sidang akhbar selepas Program Walkabout Bersama Usahawan Little India Sempena Deepavali di Jalan Tengku Kelana, di sini pada Khamis.Sementara itu, ketika ditanya berkaitan status keadaan mental suspek, Shazeli berkata, perkara itu perlu dirujuk kepada pakar yang sepatutnya."Saya berpendapat tidak adil untuk saya memberi komen tentang keadaan mental tersebut kerana pihak polis bukan pakar psikiatri."Dalam soal ini, kita perlu merujuk kepada pakar yang sepatutnya, dari ‎segi fizikal, keadaan semasa nampak okay, itu saja saya boleh katakan," katanya.Sinar Harian pada Selasa melaporkan dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 9.30 pagi, Selasa seorang pelajar perempuan berusia 16 tahun maut dipercayai ditikam oleh seorang pelajar lelaki di sebuah sekolah menengah di Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya.
