LOS ANGELES (AP) — All-Star center fielder Mike Trout won’t attend next week’s All-Star game in Seattle while he recovers from a broken left wrist.“It was a tough decision for me, but I got to get my hand right,” Trout said Friday before the Los Angeles Angels visited the Dodgers. Wearing a cast that stretches from his hand to his elbow, a smiling Trout was on the field before the game, two days after having surgery. “It’s the quickest route to get back on the field,” he said. “Got it done, feels good, let it heal.” Trout got hurt fouling off a pitch on Monday.“It’s a freak thing,” he said. “All the preparation I’ve done to keep me on the field, all the work I’ve been putting in just to keep my body healthy, and something like this pops up. It’s just a little bump in the road and I’ll get back out there.”Trout is one of 14 Angels players currently on the injured list.“I’m going to do whatever I can to get back as fast as I can,” he said. “Hopefully before September.”The three-...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Canadian consumers aren’t yet feeling the impact of the weekold port strike in British Columbia, but businesses are beginning to be pinched by the shutdown of docks that handle 25% of the country’s foreign trade, experts said Friday.The strike by 7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada began July 1 and shut down more than 30 west coast ports.Robin Guy, vice president and deputy leader of government relations at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said the affected ports handle cargo worth over 800 million Canadian dollars ($600 million) every day.“It affects us, it affects people internationally who are relying on Canadian goods to be delivered,” Guy said.Greg Wilson, director of government relations for the Retail Council of Canada, said he didn’t expect Canadian consumers to “really see significant impacts for weeks.” It’s a different story, he said, for small businesses that operate on ...

In my first at-bat I actually hit it out of the park.”The Phillies, coming off a three-game sweep of the AL-leading Rays, moved within 1 1/2 games of the second-place Marlins in the NL East standings by tying the franchise mark for road wins set.

Funcionarios de la Casa Blanca temían que Trump mostrara material clasificado a periodistas

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:47:47 GMT

WASHINGTON DC— Un libro de próxima publicación escrito por un exasesor del gobierno Trump describe un episodio en el que a los funcionarios les preocupaba que el entonces presidente Donald Trump fuera arrogante en su manejo de información clasificada mientras hablaba con los reporteros, según una copia obtenida por NBC News.Miles Taylor, quien fue uno de los principales asesores de la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional, Kirstjen Nielsen, escribe sobre el episodio de 2018 en un libro que se publicará este mes. Como presidente en ejercicio en ese momento, Trump tenía amplios poderes para desclasificar información. Sin embargo, el incidente que Taylor describe sugiere que sus ayudantes todavía creían que necesitaba mostrar más cuidado con los secretos de estado, un problema que lo puso en peligro legal después de que dejó el cargo y se llevó consigo registros confidenciales.Taylor es un destacado crítico de Trump.
