Los Angeles (AFP) - "Inside Out 2" kept its number one spot at North American box offices for the third weekend in a row, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday, stalked closely by the latest installment in the "Quiet Place" horror franchise. The film pulled in $57.4 million over the weekend, for a total haul of $469 million since its June 14 theatrical release -- continuing its sweep despite struggles in the overall market, noted analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "In spite of record-breaking numbers from 'Inside Out 2' and an excellent performance by 'P...

Washington (AFP) - Democratic leaders rallied Sunday behind US President Joe Biden following his poor debate performance last week, as the White House denied a report he was meeting with family to assess his candidacy. No major party figures have broken ranks to call for Biden to step down, with prominent Democrats including past presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton voicing full-throated support amid a torrent of doubts from everyday Americans -- and even a call from the New York Times editorial board to move aside. The wave of party backing follows the 81-year-old's stumbling performance...

By John BIERS Braddock (États-Unis) (AFP) - Le projet de Nippon Steel de racheter United States Steel provoque le malaise à Pittsburgh, où l'industrie métallurgique dominait autrefois l'économie et reste toujours majeure dans l'esprit collectif. Des opposants, comme le syndicat United Steelworkers (USW), considèrent ce rapprochement comme la dernière menace en date d'un long combat pour maintenir cette activité après les fermetures d'usines des années 1970 et 1980. "L'histoire est tellement présente ici et beaucoup de fierté va avec", explique Bernie Hall, quatrième génération de sa famille da...

Braddock (United States) (AFP) - Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of United States Steel has been a source of unease in Pittsburgh, where the metal once dominated the economy and still looms large in the collective psyche. Critics such as the United Steelworkers (USW) see the transaction as the latest threat to come along in a years-long struggle to keep the industry alive after plant closures in 1970s and 1980s battered the American rustbelt. "There's just so much history here and a lot of pride that comes with that," said the USW's Bernie Hall, a 4th generation metals worker. "It wouldn't...

Oceanport (United States) (AFP) - US President Joe Biden attended a triple-header of campaign fundraisers Saturday, seeking to reassure high-dollar donors he can still win reelection in November despite a debate performance that sparked panic among many Democrats. Accompanying him at the fundraisers in New York and New Jersey was First Lady Jill Biden, who has fiercely defended her 81-year-old husband amid calls for him to step aside. "Joe isn't just the right person for the job -- he's the only person for the job," she told one gathering, which featured a-list actors Sarah Jessica Parker and ...

Washington (AFP) - Haiti's new leader was in the United States on Saturday for a visit set to include meetings with international financial institutions as well as a White House official, his office and a National Security Council spokesperson said. The trip by Prime Minister Garry Conille, heading the country's transitional government, and other officials comes days after Kenyan police finally arrived in violence-ravaged Haiti, on a long-awaited mission to help stabilize the Caribbean nation, upended by powerful gangs. Washington has promised generous funding for the UN-backed mission, but r...

Raleigh (United States) (AFP) - A fired-up Joe Biden came out swinging Friday as he tried to make up for a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, insisting he was the right man to win November's US presidential election. Biden's appearance at a campaign rally in the battleground state of North Carolina came amid rumblings in his alarmed Democratic Party about replacing the 81-year-old as their nominee -- and shortly before the nation's most influential newspaper urged him to step aside. "I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as w...

Pittsburgh (AFP) - Working class voters in Rust Belt cities like Pittsburgh used to favor Democrats overwhelmingly, but years of economic hardship and the rise of social issues favoring Republicans have made them a swing constituency again in 2024. President Joe Biden has cleared one key hurdle, winning endorsements from union presidents, including the United Steelworkers (USW), a key player in the US Steel takeover battle that has loomed over the 2024 campaign in Pennsylvania. But just how many rank-and-file workers ignore union chiefs and vote for Donald Trump could have a decisive impact in...

Seattle (AFP) - Boeing's practice of aggressively pressuring suppliers on costs has damaged its own supply chain, contributing to the aviation giant's current woes, a top union negotiator told AFP this week. "Boeing has spent a long time, since 2012 trying to squeeze the supply chain by forcing them to cut their costs to Boeing, year over year," said Jon Holden, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) for District 751. "I'm fine with efficiency," Holden said. "What I'm not okay with is undermining the health of the manufacturing process." Holden's ...

U.S. President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, faced off on June 27 in the first presidential debate in the lead-up to the country's presidential election. The debate marked a shaky start for Biden, whose administration proved to be a pivotal ally for Ukraine in its defense war against Russia. The debate was a key event across the world, with foreign governments and powerbrokers preparing for what awaits them next year. According to a CNN flash poll, 67% of U.S. debate watchers said that Trump outperformed Biden – a result not received well in Ukraine. Although there was little fo...
