During the launch of Donald Trump’s new “Board of Peace” at the World Economic Forum in Davos, only fewer than 20 countries attended, mainly Gulf states along with Argentina and Paraguay. Surprisingly, no Western European nation showed up as expected by the White House, which anticipated 35 attendees.
Despite the low turnout, Donald Trump declared all present as his personal friends, expressed satisfaction with his goodwill, and presented his vision of “glorious peace,” even asserting that the entire planet should be viewed as a unified region. Additionally, in a separate development, US immigration authorities allowed a suspect in a major jewelry heist to self-deport to South America, surprising prosecutors seeking to prosecute him for the crime.
Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, accused of involvement in a $100 million heist from an armored truck, was potentially facing a prison sentence of up to 15 years but was instead granted a fully paid exit. Meanwhile, a New Yorker took an unconventional approach by skipping a court hearing and leaving his court-ordered GPS ankle monitor attached to a stray dog.
The no-show at the weapons hearing led officials to discover that Lamont Holmes had removed his ankle monitor and placed it on a dog, ensuring that his bail conditions were technically met. In other news, Lululemon recalled a line of leggings from its US website due to customers finding them unintentionally see-through instead of providing the expected support. Additionally, a Waymo self-driving car in Phoenix confused its autonomous function with light rail service, leading to an unexpected detour on the train tracks, causing its passenger to exit prematurely before a train approached.
Video footage captured the self-driving car pausing on the tracks before proceeding, showcasing the unwavering confidence of autonomous vehicles despite being clearly off-course.
