UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council again on Wednesday delayed a vote on a new U.N. resolution on desperately needed aid to Gaza until the following day as the Biden administration struggles to change key wording in high-level negotiations seeking to avoid a U.S. veto.The United States seeks to change the text’s references to a cessation of hostilities in the Israel-Hamas war, and the part about putting the United Nations in charge of inspecting trucks to ensure they are actually carrying humanitarian goods, which Israel opposes.Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh of the United Arab Emirates, which sponsored the Arab-backed resolution, said very high-level discussions are taking place to try to reach agreement on a text that can be adopted.“Everyone wants to see a resolution that has impact and that is implementable on the ground,” she told reporters after the 15 council members held closed consultations. “We believe today, giving a little bit of space for additional diplomacy, co...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:18:33 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s monster-sized rally since Halloween is easing off the accelerator Wednesday following mixed reports showing disappointing profits at companies but unexpected strength for the economy. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% in afternoon trading and within 0.7% of its record set nearly two years ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 15 points, or less than 0.1%, coming off its own record. The Nasdaq composite edged up by 0.2%, as of 2:06 p.m. Eastern time.FedEx tumbled 10.9% after reporting weaker revenue and profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also now expects its revenue for the full fiscal year to fall from year-earlier levels, rather than being roughly flat, because of pressures on demand.The package delivery company pumps commerce around the world, and the signaling of weaker demand could erode the hope that has fueled Wall Street’s recent rally: that the Federal Reserve can pull off a perfect landing for the economy by slow...
