Reuters set the U.S. political news agenda this past weekend and exclusively revealed that Donald Trump-backed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano posed in a Confederate uniform for a 2013-14 faculty photo at the U.S. Army War College, where he worked. Obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request after reporters learned of its existence, the photo went viral on social media. The image impacted Mastriano’s campaign, exposing him to another point of attack from Democrats and some Republicans in a U.S. state that plays an outsized role in presidential politics. Even fellow Republican Larry Hogan, Maryland’s governor, said the photo could be “disqualifying” for Mastriano.

Reuters exclusively reported that U.S. President Joe Biden’s emergency board, tasked with helping major freight railroads and unions end a contract negotiation stalemate, proposed annual wage increases of between 4% and 7% through 2024. A lockout or strike could send prices for necessities higher and upend battered U.S. supply chains ahead of mid-term elections that will determine whether Biden’s Democratic party holds narrow control of the House of Representatives and Senate.

Business & Finance

11 August 2022, 7:38 pm. 1 minute

Reuters provided insight into how Walmart could face an uphill battle to reclaim U.S. shoppers who opted for the neighborhood dollar store or Aldi rather than driving farther to a Walmart Supercenter when gasoline was $5 a gallon. While gas prices have dropped nearly 20% over the past month, there are no signs shoppers are returning to the nation’s biggest retailer, according to foot traffic data reviewed by Reuters and analysts.

Sanctions-Hit Russia Starts Stripping Aircraft for Parts – Reuters

Russia’s flagship airline Aeroflot has started stripping its passenger aircraft for parts after Western sanctions over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine it off from foreign equipment and servicing it heavily relies on, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing four unnamed aviation industry sources.

Russia's 2030 aviation industry strategy envisions the “partial dismantling” of a portion of foreign-made aircraft to keep two-thirds of the country's fleet airworthy until 2025.

At least one almost brand new Airbus A350 and the Russian-built Sukhoi Superjet 100 are grounded and being disassembled, Reuters cited one source as saying. 

Equipment from some of Aeroflot’s Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s is also being taken to keep other planes airworthy. 

These are the first detailed examples of what aviation experts predict to be the cannibalization of Russia-based planes as the impact of Western sanctions becomes more apparent.

International flight bans imposed on Russian airlines in retaliation to the Ukraine war also means that grounded jets can be stripped for parts, Reuters cited a second source as saying.

At least 50 out of Aeroflot’s 360 airliners have not taken off since July, according to Reuters’ calculations based on flight data. 

Aeroflot has seen a 22% fall in traffic this April-June compared with the same time last year. 

The risk of secondary sanctions is expected to discourage companies from Asian and Middle Eastern countries that have not imposed sanctions on Russia from supplying the needed aircraft equipment. 

“Each single part has its own [unique] number and if the documents will have a Russian airline as the final buyer, then no one would agree to supply, neither China nor Dubai,” Reuters quoted one source as saying.

Reuters reveals former Republicans and Democrats form new third U.S. political party

27 July 2022, 5:57 pm. 1 minute

Reuters exclusively reported dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials announced a new national political third party yesterday to appeal to millions of voters they say are dismayed with what they see as America’s dysfunctional two-party system.

The new party, called Forward, will initially be co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. The new party is being formed by a merger of three political groups that have emerged in recent years as a reaction to America’s increasingly polarized and gridlocked political system.
