Officials Reveal a Secret Ruse to Evacuate Trump, and the F.D.A. Takes On a Food Safety Loophole

Key Points:

• President Trump did not fly on the older Air Force One during his departure from the NATO summit in Turkey; instead, he was secretly transported on a third plane due to credible security threats from Iran, with reporters unknowingly serving as decoys.
• Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. proposed new FDA rules requiring food companies to notify the agency and submit safety data for new ingredients, aiming to close loopholes that have allowed unreviewed substances in processed foods for decades.
• A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Colombia, the strongest in a decade, causing over 100 deaths and significant damage in major cities like Cali; many affected residents had recently relocated from Venezuela after previous earthquakes.
• Taiwan conducted a government-mandated 30-minute internet and phone blackout exercise to simulate potential Chinese cyberattacks, aiming to test public reaction and the resilience of telecommunications systems amid ongoing tensions with China.
• An electricity cable project in Wales was rerouted after public outcry from "Harry Potter" fans who objected to disturbing a site used as a filming location for the fictional character Dobby’s grave, illustrating the impact of cultural sentiments on infrastructure planning.
