New York – In a surprising comeback, Republican candidate Donald Trump has won the U.S. presidential election, securing his place as the 47th President of the United States. This marks his second non-consecutive term after a narrow victory over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s victory breaks new ground in American electoral history, making him the first candidate in over a century to win, lose, and reclaim the presidency. His victory replicates the unique achievement of Grover Cleveland, who similarly served two non-consecutive terms as president in the late 19th century. Trump first won the presidency in 2016 after defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton but lost his reelection bid in 2020 to Joe Biden.

In a press release, Amnesty International has accused Carrefour and its franchise operator, Majid Al Futtaim, of exploiting migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. The organization’s latest report, titled "I would fear going to work": Labour exploitation at Carrefour sites in Saudi Arabia, documents how workers from Nepal, India, and Pakistan were deceived by recruitment agents, forced to work excessive hours, and denied proper compensation. Living in squalid conditions, the workers feared being fired if they protested or resisted additional overtime. The abuses, Amnesty says, likely amount to forced labor, with some cases possibly involving human trafficking for labor exploitation. Despite their legal and moral obligations, neither Carrefour nor Majid Al Futtaim took adequate action to stop these abuses or compensate the affected workers.
