SHANGHAI (AP) — On April 6, Ivanka Trump's company won provisional approval from the Chinese government for three new trademarks, giving it monopoly rights to sell Ivanka brand jewelry, bags and spa services in the world's second-largest economy. That night, the first daughter and her husband, Jared Kushner, sat next to the president of China and his wife for a steak and Dover sole dinner at Mar-a-Lago. The scenario underscores how difficult it is for Trump, who has tried to distance herself from the brand that bears her name, to separate business from politics in her new position at the White House. As the first daughter crafts a political career from her West Wing office, her brand is flourishing, despite boycotts and several stores limiting her merchandise. U.S. imports, almost all of them from China, shot up an estimated 166 percent last year, while sales hit record levels in 2017. The brand, which Trump still owns, says distribution is growing. It has launched ne...

Stockholm truck attack suspect was 'known to security services' like Westminster car attack The driver of a hijacked beer barrel delivery truck that drove into people walking on Stockholm’s largest shopping street, killing four and injuring many more, is believed to be a 39-year-old  Uzbek   man previously known to the security services. London authorities  revealed that the British-born Khalid Masood, who carried out Westminster Bridge  car attack a month earlier ,was also also well-known to MI5 UK Intelligence services and had worked in Saudi Arabia sometime around 2008. Police in Sweden’s capital confirmed that a man had been arrested “on suspicion of a terrorist crime through murder” after the attack on Friday afternoon, which saw the haulage vehicle drive down a pedestrianised street in the capital before crashing into a department store.     Swedish police released these images of a man suspected of being involved in the attack ...

Ukrainian citizens will be exempted from EU short-stay visa requirements, after Parliament endorsed an informal deal with the Council on Thursday. Under the new law, Ukrainians who hold a biometric passport will be able to enter the EU without a visa for 90 days in any 180-day period, for tourism, to visit relatives or friends, or for business purposes, but not to work. The exemption applies to all EU countries, except Ireland and the UK, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. “Ukraine has achieved all the benchmarks, so the visa requirement should be lifted”, noted rapporteur for the proposal  Mariya Gabriel (EPP, BG) , adding that the visa waiver will be “another very strong message that Ukraine is a key partner for the European Union in the Eastern Partnership”. The legislation, approved by 521 votes to 75 with 36 abstentions, still needs to be formally adopted by the Council of Ministers. It is likely to enter into force in June, 20 days after it...
