Italy’s Meloni let Trump’s jibes slide for so long. Now, she’s hitting back

US Donald Trump has sparred with most of his fellow Group of Seven leaders at some point. But Italy’s Giorgia Meloni this week did something none of them dared: she escalated. Unlike Spanish Socialist Pedro Sanchez, one of the few leaders in Europe who has made political capital of being berated by Trump, the Italian prime minister had stood out as one of the few Europeans he actually liked: an outspoken conservative at ease talking Maga. But Meloni has also transitioned from a populist...

What is a good index fund I can drop some money in and just leave it?

For context I am 15 and just got my first internship. I am planning on investing all 3000 I get from working over the summer, since my monthly expenses are basically me just grabbing a drink occasionally. My goal is to have put in 10k into the stock market by the time I’m 18, and then to start building an emergency fund and move out when it seems big enough to live off of for a few months if I need to, and to not touch the stock again until I want to pay off a down payment or retire, or if I wil

Regions instead of MSCI World

Hi, I've had the idea for a while now instead of relying on one MSCI World, whose weighting I can't change, to instead rely on several region ETFs. Specifically, I have in mind the combination of S&P500, Stoxx Europe 600 and Nikkei 225. This means that the 3 core financial markets are covered in a manageable portfolio and I can adjust the weighting as desired. I realize that this requires a little more effort than with an MSCI World. I'm also missing some side wars

Horses originated in America and reached Europe through China, fossil DNA reveals

Everyone knows the story: when Spanish conquistadors rode into the New World, Native Americans were stunned by a towering, four-legged creature they had never seen before. Horses, the theory goes, were a European import to the Americas. But a new fossil DNA study indicates that horses actually originated in North America millions of years ago and only reached Europe thanks to an unexpected genetic middleman in China. An extinct lineage called the Dalian horse, once dismissed as a local oddity in
