MEXICO CITY — In recent days, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has touted her country's largest-ever seizure of fentanyl and highlighted multiple crackdowns on migrants headed toward to the United States. She was speaking to the press, but her most important audience is U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Her campaign is widely seen as a desperate effort to head off his pledge to impose a 25 percent tariff on Mexican goods when he takes office next month. "The timing is no coincidence," said Eduardo Guerrero, a security analyst in Mexico City. "President Sheinbaum's agenda has changed radically with the triumph of Trump and with the threats he directed at Mexico." There is deep anxiety here about the potentially devastating impacts of tariffs on an already sluggish economy that is heavily dependent on trade. The United States accounts for more than 80 percent of Mexico's exports. "They were clearly not prepared for Trump winning the way he won, and Trump saying the things he has said since the election," said Jorge Castañeda, a former foreign secretary. "So they are doing what they can to catch up, a little on the fly. To make Trump and the Americans in general feel like she is trying to do things to make Trump happy." A telephone conversation between the two leaders didn't seem to help. An elated Trump reported after the call on social media that Sheinbaum had "agreed to stop Migration through Mexico" and had committed to "effectively closing our Southern Border." Sheinbaum disputed that, saying that Mexico's position was not to close borders, but "to build bridges between governments and communities." Mexican officials have been enlisting U.S. corporations, politicians and others to help dissuade Trump from imposing tariffs. "It's better for Mexico to know about the tariff threat beforehand," said Sofía Ramírez, who heads the economic think tank México, ¿cómo vamos? "This way they can at least formulate a response." Officials even launched a highly publicized offensive against contraband goods from Asia, raiding a shopping center in downtown Mexico City and seizing thousands of toys and other products — an operation widely seen as a preemptive strike to discourage Trump from trying to punish Mexico for serving as a conduit for Chinese merchandise headed to the United States. Sheinbaum "realized that China is a big deal for Trump, and if she wants to stay on his good side, Mexico has to do more to prevent China from using Mexico as a back door to get into the U.S. market," said Denise Dresser, a columnist and political scientist at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico. The president has denied that she is simply trying to placate Trump. Mexicans, she recently told reporters, "can be sure that we are never going to bow our head or be ashamed." Sheinbaum must walk a fine line between her constituents, who don't want to see Mexico humiliated — or go broke — and the unpredictable, impetuous Trump. Few expect Sheinbaum, a scientist of austere demeanor, to secure the kind of rapport with Trump enjoyed by her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a folksy, old-school populist who showered Trump with praise at every opportunity. "She is not going to go and campaign for Trump in the Rose Garden," said Dresser, recalling López Obrador's 2020 visit to the Trump White House. "He's not going to call her, 'Mi amiga Claudia,' or sit and drink tequilas with her." Trump views tariffs as a way to pressure countries to do what he wants. In issuing his threat against Mexico last month in a post on his social media platform, he wrote: "The Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!" It didn't take long before Sheinbaum started trotting out accomplishments in those areas. On Dec. 4 — nine days after the tariff threat — Sheinbaum announced the seizure of more than a ton of fentanyl in two raids in the state of Sinaloa, a notorious cartel bastion and manufacturing hub for the synthetic opioid. The haul could have produced 20 million doses of fentanyl and yielded more than $400 million for organized crime, she told reporters. The operation, she said, had been planned for some time, countering suggestions in the Mexican media that it had been stage-managed to win over the Trump team. Completely shutting down the fentanyl trade is probably not possible, according to experts. Smugglers ship precursor chemicals from China to Mexico, where the opioid is produced in clandestine labs, before being transported across the U.S. border. It's not clear whether Trump will be willing to compromise. "We don't really know what Trump wants other than these blanket statements to 'stop the drugs,’ ” Castañeda said. "Does he want to send in more DEA guys? More military? To go after kingpins again? Or go after shipments of the precursor chemicals coming in from China?" On migration, Sheinbaum has said that northbound migrant caravans were being "dealt with" — Mexican authorities have been breaking up the groups in southern Mexico. Mexico has been detaining more than 5,000 migrants a day, almost 50 percent more than during the final months of her predecessor's term. This year, Mexico has reported more than 1.2 million apprehensions of migrants — a record for Mexico that even tops the total arrests by the U.S. Border Patrol along the U.S.-Mexico border during the same period. Will that be enough to mollify Trump? No one knows. "Both governments are kind of condemned to deal with each other," Castañeda said. "There's not much choice. She can't make Trump go away and he can't make her go away. So they will eventually get along."Top 10 movies of 2024: In a time of scoundrels, ‘Brutalist,’ ‘Challengers’ and the movie about the exotic dancere-sports in olympics 。

MIAMI — Nikola Jovic has been out of view, but Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Friday that doesn’t mean the third-year big man has been out of mind. Entering Saturday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns at Kaseya Center, Jovic has been held out six consecutive games, including two due to a sprained left ankle, when he was not with the team for this week’s road losses to the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics. But the reduction in playing time goes back even further, with just 8:06 of action in the 106-89 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Nov. 18 and 5:32 of playing time in the 123-118 overtime victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 24. The last time there were substantial minutes for the No. 27 pick in the 2022 draft was when he went 31:02 as sixth man in the 119-110 road loss to Indiana Pacers on Nov. 17. That from a player who started the season’s first eight games at power forward. “He just has to stay with it,” Spoelstra said when asked after Friday’s practice at Kaseya Center of Jovic’s status. “You know that saying where, ‘You win the day?’ He has to win the day. Every day. “Is he guaranteed of playing in a game? No, he can’t control that right now. But he can control making me think about it, that for sure.” Since being shifted to the reserve rotation and then phased out, Jovic has seen minutes in the power rotation instead go to Haywood Highsmith, who has emerged as the Heat’s latest starter at power forward, as well as to Kevin Love and Kel’el Ware, who since has been sent to the G League for the same type of seasoning Jovic received in his first two seasons. So how does Jovic earn his way back? “The way to do that is in practice sessions, pre-practice, the approach at shootarounds, everything to be at a high level just to make you watch. And then, eventually, you get your opportunity, you can make me play you,” said Spoelstra, who has maneuvered through several rotation permutations amid this 10-10 start. “And then if you’re playing, you make me not even think about playing somebody else. And when you’re impacting winning and doing winning things and doing the detailed things with great effort and focus, that usually leads to those.” Maintaining perspective Spoelstra cautioned after Friday’s practice not to get too carried away with the magnitude of Wednesday night’s 134-93 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. “We have to move on,” Spoelstra said. “That’s something, this basketball team, we’ve been working on, is that consistently, sustain a high level of play. And I think it’s a good exercise for us. “Hopefully we have a lot more of these type of situations, where we have to manage playing well, and can we do it again? ... We want to build on what we did last game.” Ware’s debut Ware closed with 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting, 12 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals in 27:43 in his G League debut in the Sioux Falls Skyforce’s 102-81 victory Thursday night over the Chicago Bulls’ affiliate, the Windy City Bulls. By contrast, Ware’s longest action in his 10 appearances with the Heat since being drafted No. 15 in June out of Indiana was 13:35 in the Heat’s 115-112 Nov. 6 road loss to the Suns. Ware remains with the Skyforce, who next play Sunday, with they host the Denver Nuggets’ affiliate in South Dakota. Josh Christopher, the other player under contract to the Heat who currently is with the Skyforce, led Sioux Falls in Thursday night’s victory with 30 points. It was the eighth consecutive game of 20 or more points with the Skyforce for Christopher, the guard who is under a two-way contract. Injury report Rookie guard Pelle Larsson turned his right ankle late in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday against the Suns. The only players listed as out are Ware and Christopher on their G League assignments. Forward Jimmy Butler is listed as probable with the knee soreness that had him out Monday in Boston before his Wednesday return against the Lakers. Also on the Heat injury report but listed as available are Jovic (ankle), Josh Richardson (heel) and Dru Smith (knee). ©2024 South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Visit sun-sentinel.com .

President-elect Trump was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for a second time on Thursday and he celebrated by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Trump, who was previously honored by Time after his 2016 White House victory, called the second win “a tremendous honor.” “Time Magazine, getting this honor for the second time, I think I like it better this time actually,” he said before ringing the bell on Wall Street. Trump signaled the importance he places on the NYSE appearance by enlisting Vice President-elect JD Vance, First Lady Melania Trump and his daughter, Ivanka, to join him. He name-checked some of the Wall Street heavyweights in his incoming administration, including Treasury Secretary-nominee Scott Bessent along with his new pledge the federal government will issue expedited permits, including environmental approvals, for projects and construction worth more than $1 billion. “I think we’re going to have a tremendous run. We have to straighten out some problems, some big problems in the world,” he said. Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs said Trump was someone who “for better or for worse, had the most influence on the news in 2024.” “This is someone who made an historic comeback, who reshaped the American presidency and who’s reordering American politics,” Jacobs said. “It’s hard to argue with the fact that the person who’s moving into the Oval Office is the most influential person in news.” Trump is one of 13 people, mostly American presidents, to win the honor twice since it was launched in 1927. Former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the only one to be named person of the year three times. Other 2024 finalists included billionaire Elon Musk, Vice President Kamala Harris, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Britain’s Princess Kate. Pop star Taylor Swift won last year. In an interview with Time that was published Thursday, Trump said his historic White House comeback reflected the deep anger among Americans over the direction of the nation. “We hit the nerve of the country,” Trump said. “The country was angry.” Trump also re-upped his plan to pardon most of his extremist supporters who were convicted of storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. It’s going to start in the first hour,” he said of the pardons. “Maybe the first nine minutes.” The incoming president also discussed his plans for mass deportations and argued he would have the authority to use the military to assist, although legal experts dispute that claim. “I’ll only do what the law allows,” he said. “But I will go up to the maximum level of what the law allows.”PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jamal Mashburn Jr. scored 18 points as Temple beat Buffalo 91-71 on Sunday. Mashburn shot 6 for 10 (3 for 6 from 3-point range) and 3 of 4 from the free-throw line for the Owls (8-5). Zion Stanford scored 15 points while going 4 of 9 and 6 of 7 from the free-throw line. Quante Berry had 15 points and shot 7 of 8 from the field and 0 for 4 from the foul line. The Bulls (5-7) were led by Tyson Dunn, who posted 11 points and four assists. Anquan Boldin Jr. added 11 points and three steals for Buffalo. Noah Batchelor also had nine points and six rebounds. Temple took the lead with 5:38 remaining in the first half and never looked back. The score was 39-29 at halftime, with Shane Dezonie racking up seven points. Temple outscored Buffalo in the second half by 10 points, with Mashburn scoring a team-high 13 points after intermission.

From the season’s outset, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Minnesota would leave itself the flexibility to close games with whatever lineup the coaching staff felt was needed to secure a victory. ADVERTISEMENT Sometimes, he noted, he’d get the choice right. Surely, there would be other times when he wouldn’t. “Hopefully, I do way more than I don’t,” Finch said this week. Sunday evening, however, was a checkmark in the “not right” column, at least based off the result. The Timberwolves didn’t score in the final 4:47 of their loss to Golden State. Finch said this week that Mike Conley’s inclusion in the closing lineup would’ve added organization to the equation. But he was quick to add that, with the ill-advised shots Anthony Edwards was taking, may not have mattered. ADVERTISEMENT Finch also reiterated what he said after the game, that Nickeil Alexander-Walker was playing “so well,” so he was hesitant to take him off the floor. “Maybe the other thing I could’ve done was go small,” Finch said, “but we’ve not really done that a ton.” That was the cry of many Wolves’ followers on social media on Sunday. Minnesota has proven rather inept at late-game offense when Conley isn’t on the floor. But all recognized Alexander-Walker had also earned the opportunity to close. You certainly won’t take Edwards off the floor in those situations, and the Wolves wanted Jaden McDaniels on the floor to guard Steph Curry. That left Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert as the only options to take off the court in favor of Conley, and that would’ve left Minnesota small. And, as Finch noted, the Wolves simply haven’t gone small this season. Like, at all. None of Naz Reid, Randle or Gobert have played more than 17 minutes this season without another big man next to him. ADVERTISEMENT It’s not something the Wolves practice, either. McDaniels said he’s only repped minutes at the four in practice when one of the bigs have been unavailable. Still, Finch said it wasn’t that he was “uncomfortable” rolling out a small-ball look Sunday. “But I worry a lot about rebounding. We struggle to rebound with our bigger lineups, at times. So, I know our smaller lineups have really struggled,” Finch said. “That’s some of the reason not to go small is really rebounding issues. But I think our guys are comfortable playing in all different combinations. But I haven’t really thought about going small, necessarily.” ADVERTISEMENT Indeed, Minnesota is just 12th in the NBA this season in defensive rebounding rate, grabbing 71.3% of opposing missed shots. The glass was especially an issue Sunday, as Golden State grabbed 14 offensive rebounds that led to 19 second-chance points. But it’s worth noting many of those came by guards in situations in which size was no factor on the play. McDaniels said he’s comfortable playing any position, including the power forward slot. And Minnesota certainly has the wing depth to roll out more small ball lineups if the situation ever called for it. There could be a playoff matchup that does just that, though Finch noted it could also go the other direction where the Wolves’ advantage would be to lean bigger. Versatility rules come April and May. But the Wolves don’t seem overly urgent to trot out any small-ball looks just to see how they perform at this juncture in the campaign. ADVERTISEMENT “Usually, it’s better with Naz at the four (than me),” McDaniels said. There is, however, at least one proponent of doing a little experimenting: Conley. “I think (small ball) kind of promotes a different level of spacing and speed to the game. You’re going to have to rely on guard-guard situations, guard pick and rolls,” Conley said. “Maybe me setting the screen and roll, Just creating different advantages for ourselves, as opposed to our typical offense or typical flow of things. I would love to see it, maybe — see how it works.” ADVERTISEMENT ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

A Molly-Mae fan's opinion on the Maebe range, and its prices EVER since Molly-Mae Hague, 25, walked into the Love Island villa back in 2019, I’ve always been a mega fan. After hearing the news that she was coming out with a fashion brand, of course I was excited. But as much as I hate to admit it, I’m disappointed. I understand that she’s launched Maebe as a more high class brand. I know it’s not going to be Shein quality. But with prices varying from £35 to £140, I’m definitely not impressed. Maebe’s “ultimate blazer” is priced at an eye-watering £140, whilst a very simple, plain white tee is a whopping £35. Not only this, but the “contour popper top” is £50, and a seemingly boring white shirt will set you back a whopping £65. And if that wasn’t bad enough, £90 for a pair of jeans? I understand paying £50 for a pair of good quality denims, but £90?! That’s incredibly steep considering you can get Levi’s, a well-established brand that’s been going for donkey years, for just a tenner more. So, will I be buying anything from Maebe? The only thing I can say to that is Maebe (definitely) not. by Abigail Wilson, Senior Digital Writer 3 She launched the brand earlier this year Credit: instagram/maebe
