“at the end of the NATO summit in Turkey.”
"Talked about the success of it. Clearly, there are all these unresolved issues starting with opening the state of Hormuz. He also said, "I don't think it's going to start again."

About 20 million people get diagnosed with cancer each year and 10 million die from the
“disease. But that burden, both in terms of cases and deaths, is disproportionately spread”
across the globe. For example, in Europe, roughly one in four people are expected to develop cancer, but only one in 12 will die from it. People in sub-Saharan Africa have about half the risk of developing cancer, but one in 12 are still expected to die from the disease. That inequality stems from disparities in access to early detection and treatment

The maximum possible damages estimated by states is nearly the same as meta's $1.5 trillion valuation. But states must first win the trial, and if they prevail, damages will be determined by
the court. The case this fall in Oakland follows two major court room losses for meta in Los Angeles and New Mexico, where a jury awarded the state $375 million after finding the company knowingly harmed children's mental health, Bobby Allen and PR News.
