Trump's Comeback: Sweeping Victory, Harris Concedes but Promises “Fight”

Donald Trump has reclaimed the White House after a divisive campaign that defied polls and criminal charges. Kamala Harris conceded but vowed to continue her "fight for freedom and dignity." Trump’s win represents a strong shift in voter sentiment, with Americans prioritizing economic and border security concerns. Harris consoled her supporters, calling for resilience while refusing to align with Trump’s vision. Biden plans to address the nation on Thursday.

Canada Orders TikTok Canada Shutdown Citing National Security Risks

 

Canada has ordered ByteDance Ltd to close TikTok Technology Canada Inc due to national security concerns, though Canadians can still access the TikTok app. The decision, based on a review from Canada’s security and intelligence agencies, follows previous bans on TikTok from government devices in Canada, the US, and the European Union.

University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist called the move “curious,” noting that shutting down the company instead of the app could weaken oversight and accountability while keeping the security risks associated with the app in place.

The issue echoes past efforts in the US, where in 2020, then-President Donald Trump attempted a TikTok ban, later supporting it in 2024 as necessary for market competition. TikTok Canada did not respond to requests for comment.

3M Raises Profit Forecast After Beating Quarterly Estimates on Electronics Demand

3M Co raised the lower end of its full-year adjusted profit forecast after strong demand for electronics and industrial products helped the company surpass quarterly profit expectations. Shares of 3M were up 4.2% at $140.5 in pre-market trading. An increase in demand for electronics used in vehicles and mobile phones boosted profits for the company, which had previously faced challenges as high inflation led consumers to delay major purchases. The industrial sector is also expected to benefit from the recent US Federal Reserve decision to cut borrowing costs in September, encouraging more consumer spending. 3M has implemented cost-cutting measures, including job reductions and spinning off its healthcare business, to counter the impact of a demand slowdown .
