  administration abruptly recalled nearly 30 career
• 6:40
  ambassadors at U .S. embassies around the world,
• 6:44
  according to multiple officials familiar with
• 6:46
  the matter, in a move that senior officials said
• 6:49
  aims to better align the State Department with
• 6:51
  the president's foreign policy agenda. Ambassadors
• 6:55
  were told to return to Washington, giving them
• 6:58
  until mid -January to vacate their posts. The
• 7:02
  mass recall, coupled with numerous top -level
• 7:04
  overseas posts already sitting empty, is without
• 7:08
  modern historic precedent. At least 13 U .S.
• 7:12
  ambassadors from Africa were recalled, including

  U .S. officials have banned new drones made in

  Communications Commission prohibited all drones
• 7:41
  and critical components from major Chinese manufacturers
• 7:45
  DJI Technology and Auto Robotics. citing national
• 7:50
  security concerns. The ban does not affect existing
• 7:54
  models in stores or already purchased. Many American
• 7:58
  drone pilots are hoarding products, fearing the
• 8:00
  loss of their livelihoods, as DJI accounts for
• 8:04
  up to 90 % of the market. DJI expressed disappointment
• 8:09
  in the decision, arguing that concerns about
• 8:12
  its data security lack evidence. The ban poses
• 8:16
  a significant threat to many small businesses
• 8:19
  reliant on Chinese -made drones. In crypto movement,
