On Saturday, an American B-1B strategic bomber was redeployed to the Korean peninsula for a joint air drill, said the South Korean military. This comes a day after North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which landed just 200 kilometres away from Japan.&nbsp;

“South Korea and the US conducted a joint air drill today with the US Air Force’s B-1B strategic bomber redeployed on the Korean peninsula,” said South Korean military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a statement. They added that the drill saw the participation of some of the most advanced jets in the US and South Korean air forces which also included the F-35 stealth fighter.&nbsp;

The air force is reportedly a sensitive issue for North Korea since it is their military’s weakest link as it lacks high-tech jets as well as trained pilots, said experts. On Thursday, Pyongyang’s foreign minister, Choe Son Hui, criticised the trilateral summit between the United States, South Korea and Japan. Whereas countries during the summit that took place last Sunday condemned North Korea’s ongoing weapons tests and pledged greater security cooperation.&nbsp;

The US Air Force calls B-1B, “the backbone of America's long-range bomber force" which can strike anywhere in the world, notably it no longer carries nuclear weapons. Furthermore, the United Nations Security Council will convene on the request by the United States, along with South Korea and Japan, where they will strongly condemn the latest ICBM launch by North Korea.&nbsp;

The ICBM is also reportedly capable of reaching the US mainland, “We urge all Security Council members to take this responsibility seriously and unite in condemning the DPRK’s (North Korea) dangerous and unlawful behaviour,” said the US mission to the 15-member Security Council in a statement. It added that “relevant Security Council resolutions must be fully implemented” and Pyongyang should be held accountable for violating them.&nbsp;

South Korea: US B-1B strategic bomber redeployed in Korean peninsula for joint drill

Donald Trump, the&nbsp;former president of the United States&nbsp;has a number of legal issues looming over him as he launches his recently declared campaign for presidency once again in 2024. The 76-year-old faces the possibility of a federal prosecution over reportedly discovered confidential materials at his Mar-a-Lago club, and his namesake business, the Trump Organization, is now on trial in Manhattan for tax fraud.

We explain a few lawsuits in depth.&nbsp;

<h2>Deceit and fraud cases in New York</h2>

The Trump Organization, which bears Donald Trump's name, is also on trial in New York for deceit and tax fraud. The business, which manages hotels, golf courses, and other properties globally, allegedly&nbsp;ran a 15-year plan to provide high-level executives perks like fancy cars and residences while avoiding paying taxes on such payments.

Nine charges of tax fraud, grand larceny, and fabricating business documents are brought against two Trump Organization corporations in what prosecutors claim was a 15-year plot to cheat tax authorities by neglecting to declare and pay taxes on employee salaries.

This July, Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, entered a guilty plea for his part in the tax fraud. Despite not helping the prosecution, he recently testified in the trial. The business entered a not-guilty plea.

<h2>Trump vs. New York attorney general</h2>

After a long drawn investigation, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, three of his adult children, and the Trump Organization in September. She claimed that they were all complicit in a massive fraud that lasted more than 10 years and was used by the former president to enrich himself.

James said that the Trump Organization, including its hotels and golf courses, was the target of the deception. The complaint alleges that the Trump Organization inflated the worth of his properties using false evaluations, deceiving lenders, insurers, and tax authorities.

James wants to recover $250 million in allegedly illegally obtained money.

<h2>Mar-a-Lago documents: The case of missing government records</h2>

Trump is the subject of a criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice for keeping official documents after leaving office in January 2021, including some that were classified.

During a search that was permitted by the court on August 8 at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, the FBI took 11,000 papers. There were about 100 documents classified as such, some of which were also tagged as 'top secret', the most serious classification.

Republican Donald Trump has claimed that the Justice Department is conducting a&nbsp;witch hunt.&nbsp;The confiscated documents are being examined by a special master, Senior U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie, to see if any of them are covered by executive privilege as claimed by Trump.

A president may keep some papers or information private under the legal theory known as executive privilege.

Asserting that both of these actions are impeding the criminal investigation, the Justice Department has requested a federal appeals court to put a halt to that review and grant it access to the unclassified papers found during the search.

<h2>Defamation case:&nbsp;E. Jean Carroll</h2>

E. Jean Carroll, a former journalist for Elle magazine, filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump in 2019 after he refuted her claim that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s in a department&nbsp;store&nbsp;in New York City. In order to increase book sales, Trump charged her of lying.

<img alt="Carrol" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4068059c-8028-4b24-a49a-2ee1b9e473d5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/e-jean-carroll-hearing.jpg" />

Writer E. Jean Carroll sued then-President Donald Trump in 2019 for defamation after alleging he raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Picture credits: AP

Trump has contended that a federal provision that protects government workers from defamation charges shields him from Carroll's lawsuit. The Manhattan-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined in September that Trump was a government employee when he labelled Carroll a liar, but left open the issue of whether he was operating in his capacity as president at the time.

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-deposed-in-e-jean-carroll-defamation-case-526929">Trump deposed in E. Jean Carroll defamation case linked to rape accusation</a>

On January 10, 2023, an appeals court in Washington, D.C., will hear oral arguments and evaluate the issue.

Even if the defamation case is dropped, Carroll intends to sue Trump for violence and purposeful infliction of mental distress in accordance with New York state law.

<h2>Election rigging investigation in Georgia</h2>

The investigation into Trump's alleged attempts to sway the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia was given extraordinary grand jury empanelled status in May.

A call that Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had from Trump on January 2, 2021 is one of the main topics of the inquiry. In order to "discover" the necessary number of votes to reverse Trump's Georgia loss, Raffensperger was tasked by Trump.

Trump could have broken at least three Georgia election-related criminal crimes, according to legal experts: conspiracy to commit election fraud, criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, and deliberate meddling with the conduct of elections.

<h2>US Capitol attack</h2>

The matter of whether Trump violated the law in his attempts to avenge his loss in the 2020 election is being looked into by a House of Representatives committee looking into the assault on the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021. The certification of the election results by Congress was a goal of the protesters.

The committee subpoenaed Trump in October to speak under oath and provide records.

Republican committee vice-chair Liz Cheney has stated the group may recommend potential criminal charges against Trump to the Justice Department.

Trump's federal crimes may or may not be investigated by the Justice Department. In the upcoming weeks, the panel will probably provide its findings.

The panel's inquiry has been criticised by Trump as being politically motivated.

For the historic and press-free wedding of his granddaughter Naomi on Saturday, President Joe Biden invited guests to the White House. Naomi Biden, a 28-year-old lawyer in Washington, is marrying Peter Neal, 25, also an attorney. Naomi Biden is the daughter of Joe Biden's son Hunter.

It is not unheard of for weddings to be decked with white flowers at the presidential home with America's most prestigious address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

There have reportedly been 18 weddings at the estate, including that of Pete Souza, Barack Obama's personal photographer, and Tricia Nixon, daughter of Richard Nixon.

On her Instagram account, which also includes pictures of her family, travels, and daily life, Naomi Biden announced her engagement in September.

The United States should not expect the Netherlands to follow its approach on China export restrictions, said a Dutch official on Friday, during an interview. These remarks were the first by the Netherlands on the issue as the United States President Joe Biden’s administration has been pushing for a multilateral agreement to impose restrictions on China which reportedly aims to keep advanced chip technologies away from Beijing and its military.&nbsp;

In an interview with a Dutch newspaper, NRC, Foreign Trade Minister, Liesje Schreinemacher said, “The Netherlands will not copy the American measures one-to-one.” The country will make its own assessment and consult partner countries such as Japan and the US, she added. The trade minister also said that the country will likely introduce certain export controls on China by itself.&nbsp;

“We already have restrictions in our export licensing policy. I can imagine that we will look at semiconductors and the chip market with a more critical eye,” she said during the interview. Furthermore, Schreinemacher also spoke about how the Dutch government needs additional time to decide these potential new rules without going into any specifics.&nbsp;

Notably, the Netherlands is home to ASML Holding NV which is a dominant player in the semiconductor-manufacturing market. While the company has reportedly stopped selling its extreme ultraviolet lithography machines which are used to make the cutting-edge chips, to Beijing it does allow certain less sophisticated products to Chinese customers, said a report by Bloomberg.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dutch minister says Netherlands ‘will not copy’ US curbs on Chinese chip exports

On Friday, France reaffirmed its support for India&nbsp;as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. This comes after the United Kingdom also extended its support for permanent membership of New Delhi&nbsp;among the four countries, receiving mounting support from Veto members.&nbsp;

“France endorses the candidacy of Germany, Brazil, India and Japan as permanent members for permanent seats,” said Nathalie Broadhurst Estival, France's&nbsp;Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN while addressing the UN General Assembly on the annual debate on UNSC reform.&nbsp;

France's envoy has also called for “greater representation” from African countries among the permanent members as well as remaining seats for “equitable geographical representation.” The debate was about the ‘Question of equitable representation on an increase in the membership of the Security Council and other matters related to the Security Council’. Furthermore, Broadhurst said that to preserve its executive and operational nature the UNSC permanent members could have up to 25 members.&nbsp;

She further explained that the objective of the UNSC must remain twofold - to consolidate the Council’s legitimacy and “to strengthen its capacity to fully assume its responsibilities in the maintenance of international peace and security.” France’s deputy permanent representative also stated that the question of veto is “eminently sensitive” and stressed that it is up to the State requesting a permanent seat to decide on the matter.&nbsp;

“It is in this spirit that France proposed, as early as 2013, that the five permanent members (China, France, US, UK, and Russia) of the Council voluntarily and collectively suspend the use of the veto in case of mass atrocities. This voluntary approach does not require a revision of the Charter but a political commitment by the permanent members,” said Broadhurst.&nbsp;

Researchers from Yale University have found in a report sponsored by the US&nbsp;State Department that hundreds of people were jailed or went missing in the Kherson region of Ukraine this year while it was under Russian control and that many may have been tortured, reported Reuters.

Despite its disgusting and desperate methods, Russia "must halt these operations and withdraw its forces to end a needless war that it cannot and will not win – no matter how despicable and desperate its tactics," the State Department stated in a statement regarding the findings.&nbsp;

The study&nbsp;details the detentions and disappearances of 226 persons in Kherson between March and October, of whom a quarter are said to have been tortured and five of whom passed away while being held or shortly after.

Kherson, located in an enclave on the west bank of the Dnipro River, is the sole regional capital Ukraine has retaken since the invasion in February, when Russia withdrew its forces from there last week.&nbsp;

President Joe Biden has been adamant that the United States will support Ukraine in its nine-month struggle to fend off an invasion by Russia, but added that it will not fight another world war for&nbsp;Ukraine.&nbsp;

"We will not fight the Third World War for&nbsp;Ukraine," he insisted, reports Reuters.

Therefore, he and his senior team of advisers were thrown into crisis mode when a missile struck a hamlet in Poland close to the Ukraine border on Nov. 15 and there were early suspicions that it was launched by Russia.&nbsp;

If Russia had attacked Poland, the United States and other NATO members would be forced to defend it militarily, which may lead to a world war that everyone wished to avoid.

Aides woke up Biden in the middle of the night in Bali, Indonesia, in the final days of his week-long trip to Asia to inform him that a missile had killed two people in Poland, a U.S. official said.&nbsp;

Officials from Ukraine officially blamed Russia, as did an Associated Press story that has since been amended and cited an unnamed senior U.S. intelligence officer.&nbsp;

The claims caused panic among the government and stock markets. Countries in Eastern Europe reacted violently, and the tension&nbsp;increased.

Initial reports from American sources suggested that Ukraine may have fired the missile to fend against an onslaught of Russian missiles and that it had unintentionally landed in Poland.&nbsp;

The White House and other U.S. agencies made few public statements while they sought confirmation. &nbsp;

"We cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time. We will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would be," White House spokesperson Adrienne Watson had said.
