USDA Announces Phased Reopening of Southern Livestock Ports
RDOD — Our Norwegian Viva Mediterranean Trip Report (Part 1): Venice to Athens
Royal Caribbean has extended its suspension of ship calls to Labadee, its leased private destination in Haiti, through June 2027, citing safety concerns tied to conditions in the country. The decision cancels 62 scheduled visits in early 2027 across nine ships and reroutes calls to ports including Nassau, Perfect Day at CocoCay, Puerto Plata, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. At Port Canaveral on July 17, 2026, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office took six cruise guests into custody on outstanding warrants; no onboard misconduct or delays were reported, and all ships departed on schedule. And Victory Cruise Lines will add Erie, Pennsylvania to its 2028 Great Lakes Voyage aboard the 190-passenger Victory I and Victory II, with an inaugural call set for July 21, 2028.
Bridget Toomey and Bill Roggio report Houthi rebels have initiated a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabian ports, causing ship traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb strait to fall to its lowest level in months. While the Houthis cite local grievances, their actions align with Iran's broader strategy to pressure global energy markets. Despite the threat, Saudi Arabia has retaliated by bombing Houthi ports, even as the rebels receive targeting assistance from Iranian spy ships. (4)
We finally sailed Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Destiny, on a rare seven-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary and it delivered the exact kind of vacation we crave: less planning, more living. From the moment we boarded in Fort Lauderdale and stepped into the Grand Hall, we felt the switch flip into full cruise mode. Did we get to do everything we wanted even with the extra days? No - but that just means we'll have to go back!We talk through embarkation day realities (including a brutal port traffic surprise), why Platinum status is a game-changer, and the surprisingly important little details like where to stay the night before and when not to overdo breakfast.We also get nerdy and practical about Disney cruise planning. We sailed with two staterooms so we could split Castaway Club perks, then used Guest Services to grab extra door-only key cards without risking the dreaded reservation “dump.” If you've ever tried to book tastings, excursions, or adult dining with a complicated party setup, our workaround will save you stress. And yes, we brought back Sips On The Ships, our onboard pub crawl, complete with passports, bracelets, and a WhatsApp group that kept the fun rolling.Ports and onboard experiences get the full review: Lookout Key at Lighthouse Point beach strategy, San Juan's El Morro fort (and the heat), an “on brand” stop at Casa Bacardi, and St Martin's unforgettable 12-meter regatta where we crewed an America's Cup racing yacht. We cover Palo Prima Note, Palo dinner, Hook's Barbery old-fashioned tasting, Marvel and villain storytelling, Dr Facilier's Parlor, Pirates night, and our honest take on the Hercules stage show. If you're researching a Disney Destiny cruise review, Eastern Caribbean Disney Cruise Line itinerary, or tips for adult tastings and entertainment, this one is for you.Subscribe for more Disney Cruise Line trip reports, share this with your favorite cruise planner, and leave a rating and review so more Disney fans can find us.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Today's Cruise News brief looks at how ship redeployments, refurbishments, and port upgrades are reshaping future cruise choices. Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas marks ten years in service and returns to Port Canaveral in late July 2026 for year-round Caribbean and Bahamas sailings, following a Royal Amplified refit that added new venues and more than 100 staterooms. Costa Cruises' Costa Serena begins a farewell Asia season before a 65-night Tokyo-to-Buenos Aires repositioning voyage and new South America cruises, part of Costa's 200 million euro revitalization program. And American Cruise Lines advances plans for a 3 million dollar floating dock in Wrangell, Alaska, targeting a 2027 in-service date to bring overnight cruise stays to the Southeast Alaska port.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyVW CONFIRMS ELECTRIC NEXT-GEN AMAROKVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand chief Stefan Mecha has confirmed that the third-generation Amarok will be offered as a fully electric model, part of a flexible drivetrain strategy spanning PHEVs and EVs that he says is essential to keeping the ute competitive, while the current Amarok's powertrain line-up stays unchanged. The timing points to 2029-2030, matching the expiry of VW's production deal with Ford, and talks with Ford about the next generation's underpinnings are still ongoing.MG GO! PREVIEWS SMALL EV FOR 2027MG has unveiled the GO! concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a roughly four-metre B-segment electric hatchback designed at SAIC's U.K. studio that borrows MGB GT grille lines and vertical taillamp elements, with production due in 2027 and possibly badged MG 2. MG admits the show car is a "dressed up" version that will lose its bulging fenders, oversized wheels, tow hooks and diffuser, and while technical details are unconfirmed, industry coverage points to MG's front-drive E3/Urban architecture with modest LFP batteries to rival the Renault 5 E-Tech and Mini Cooper Electric.TESLA OPENS FIRST PUBLIC SEMI MEGACHARGERTesla has opened its first public Megacharger station for Semi fleets in Bloomington, California, about an hour east of Los Angeles, with six stalls each capable of up to 1.2 MW and access for all Tesla Semi commercial fleet customers. The launch was confirmed by Tesla Charging on X and marked with a ribbon-cutting attended by trucking, fleet and charging figures, with the San Bernardino County site chosen for its position on the freight corridor linking the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Southern California's warehouse network.USED EVS OUTPACE PETROL CARS IN BRITAINSteep fuel prices have driven a surge in British used-EV demand, with Autotrader's July fastest-selling ranking filled entirely by electrified models for the first time — eight of them fully electric, double last year's tally — led by the MG ZS at 13 days against a 24-day average for used EVs and 30 days across all fuel types. Average used-EV prices rose 1.6% year-on-year to £24,662 ($33,225), the first increase since December 2022, and Autotrader's Marc Palmer says that unlike past Middle East-driven spikes tied to events such as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz closure, this demand has been sustained while the ten slowest sellers were all petrol or diesel.LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS LEAD GERMAN EV SUBSIDY APPROVALSHandelsblatt reports that 48% of approvals under Germany's new EV subsidy scheme have gone to households with taxable income up to €45,000 ($51,300), according to data from a parliamentary inquiry by Left Party lawmaker Jorrit Bosch, with lower-income buyers eligible for up to €6,000 ($6,840) on new BEVs, range-extenders and select plug-in hybrids depending on vehicle type, income and family size. The programme launched in January to replace the flat-rate scheme scrapped abruptly in late 2023, and environment ministry figures show foreign manufacturers took most of the support, with only two of the 14 most-subsidised brands being German as Germany's EV fleet passed 2.2 million by early April 2026.SUBARU CUTS 2027 SOLTERRA PRICE IN CANADASubaru Canada has cut the 2027 Solterra's starting MSRP to $47,995, $4,500 below the 2026 model and just under the country's $50,000 EVAP threshold, which restores its eligibility for the federal rebate worth up to $5,000. Subaru quotes an effective starting figure of $46,727 with delivery, dealer fees and the rebate included, against $55,285 for the current 2026 car, with the updated model due at Canadian dealerships later this year.CANADA CLEARS 6,531 CHINA-MADE EV IMPORTSCanada had imported 6,531 China-made EVs by July 14, leaving roughly 75% of the 24,500-vehicle first-half quota unused, with arrivals starting in May and building through June and July but falling well short of the allowance. Ottawa will keep the current quota open through August before adding a further 24,500 vehicles plus any unused first-half volume for September through February 2027; Global Affairs Canada does not break the figures down by brand, but Shanghai-built Tesla Model 3s are presumed to dominate, Lotus has accounted for nearly two dozen and Polestar is expected to resume Polestar 2 imports in August.DONGFENG MOVES INTO CANADIAN EV MARKETDongfeng plans to enter Canada's EV market under the low-tariff quota created by Mark Carney's deal with China earlier this year, showing the Vigo and Nammi Box 01 to buyers at an Old Port event in Montreal this week while it completes regulatory certification. North World Industry will handle distribution, and the company is starting with consumer awareness before sales, aiming to launch its first two models next year.KIA PITCHES SMALL EV VAN FOR CANADIAN FLEETSKia Canada has pitched the PV5 as a compact electric cargo van for small businesses and urban fleets, offering about 160 cubic feet of cargo volume and targeting tradespeople, last-mile delivery firms and telecom operators that do not need a full-size vehicle. The real test may be size rather than range or price, given GM pulled its Ontario-built BrightDrop vans — offering 400 or 600 cubic feet — from the market last fall after weak sales, while Kia calls the smaller PV5 an answer to an "unmet need".GEELY SETS E2 PRICE BELOW €20,000 IN ITALYGeely will launch the E2 small electric hatchback in Italy in October at a promotional €19,900, undercutting the Citroen e-C3 at €20,490 and sitting just above the BYD Dolphin Surf at €19,790; the same car is sold as the EX2 in the U.K. and the Xingyuan in China, where it was last year's best-selling model with 160,800 wholesale deliveries in the first five months of this year. In Europe's small-EV class the Renault 5 E-Tech leads with 36,575 sales, up 35%, ahead of the e-C3 on 17,859 (down 11%), the Dolphin Surf on 15,072 and the Peugeot e-208 on 10,546, up 23%.HOYMILES LAUNCHES UL 3700 BALCONY SOLAR INVERTERHoymiles has launched the HiFlow Pro, which it says is the first US microinverter certified under UL 3700, the new safety standard for plug-in balcony solar, a model already popular in Europe — especially Germany — that lets homeowners and renters run portable panels through a standard outlet instead of a rooftop install. Eight states had signed plug-in solar bills into law as of July 2026 — Utah, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire — with New York's awaiting the governor's signature as of July 16 and nearly 30 states having introduced legislation, while safeguards must prevent the reversed power flow from feeding the grid during outages; a single 360W unit produces up to 721.08 kWh a year and up to four can run in parallel across separate outlets.RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES PUSH DRIVERS TO EVSUkrainian strikes on energy targets have tightened Russian fuel supplies, bringing hours-long queues and rising gasoline and diesel prices that are pushing some motorists towards electric cars, including engineer Oksana Yasinskaya, 36, who told Automotive News the queues settled her decision to buy an EV and that she values not wasting hours on what she called a humiliating wait, with some drivers queuing late at night. Autostat says EV and plug-in hybrid sales accelerated in June as shortages worsened and expects the tiny market to grow if the crisis drags on, though it still leans on used cars rather than fresh showroom demand.

Bridget Toomey. The Houthis have declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, targeting ports and vessels in the Red Sea to demand compensation for the civil war. While their missile capabilities rely on Iran, the Houthis have refined domestic drone production using Chinese components. Shippers are already rerouting around Africa, as even the threat of sporadic attacks makes transiting the Bab al-Mandeb a risk global enterprises are unwilling to take. (9)1962 SOVIET EMBASSY YEMEN
Today's Cruise News covers three developments from around the industry. Carnival Adventure missed its scheduled call at Mystery Island, Vanuatu, on July 11 after a technical issue with the pontoon door closing mechanism delayed departure from Port Vila and Vanuatu's biosecurity rules barred nighttime inter-island travel; Carnival gave guests AU$100 in onboard credit per stateroom and refunded prepaid Mystery Island excursions. Carnival Cruise Line also revived the Destiny name for its 2029 Ace-class flagship, a 230,000-gross-ton, LNG-powered ship from Fincantieri designed to carry more than 8,000 guests, echoing the original 1996 Destiny that was the first cruise ship to top 100,000 gross tons. And Norwegian Cruise Line completed its Vibe Beach Club rollout on Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, bringing the adults-only sun deck to both Jewel-class ships alongside expanded Mandara Spa thermal suites and full Starbucks stores following three-week dry docks in May.
Today on Cruise News: Princess Cruises' Crown Princess and Oceania Cruises' Oceania Vista both skipped St. John's, Newfoundland on July 14 over a forecast of rain and winds around 20 mph, affecting roughly 4,300 lower-berth passengers even though Canadian authorities identified no severe weather. Port Canaveral is advancing $175 million in cruise infrastructure, including a $78 million renovation that nearly doubles Cruise Terminal 5 to 170,000 square feet and a $93 million, 13-story Cruise Terminal 6 East garage adding about 3,700 parking spaces, as the port works to speed guests from vehicle to vessel after a record 8,602,047 passenger movements in fiscal 2025. And MSC Cruises will debut a 300-square-meter Venchi chocolate boutique, cafe, and gelateria aboard the new LNG-powered MSC World Asia, the Turin chocolatier's first shop on an MSC World Class ship, when the vessel enters Mediterranean service on December 4, 2026.
Welcome to episode #283 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we continue the discussion regarding the continued success of the BO1 and BO2 ports, as they continue to hit record numbers of concurrent players and sales, topping GTA VI as a trending game in the PSN store. This comes as no surprise to us, but the question is how long will this last? We give our opinions on the success of these ports, and if they will rival the MW4 playerbase. If this is the case, the path for Call of Duty going forward looks much different than anticipated. Does COD lean into these ports for the future, or do they simply take the feedback from these games and apply it to future titles? We then move onto a quick overview of the season 5 roadmap, with a fan favorite map returning that we feel just came a bit too late in the year. We give our thoughts on this, along with the connection between these fan-favorite map releases and them being used in the CDL, as it could make the competition that much more exciting. We close with our COD Champs predictions, as we come down to the arguably the biggest and most prestigious event for the players to win. What are your thoughts on the continued success of these ports? Should developers be taking notes on what made these games good and apply it to their future games, or do you want more ports/remasters of old CODs? Do you want to see these older fan-favorite maps return earlier, or are you done with playing BO7 at this stage in the year? Finally, what did you think about COD Champs as an event, and the winners and losers? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more! Hope you all enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week.Join the Discord!https://discord.gg/XjBWUj4KtVFollow us:Twitter: @TheCODCasualsInstagram: @TheCODCasualsTikTok: @TheCODCasualsContact us:Business Inquiries: TheCODCasuals@gmail.com

Donald Trump has ordered the heaviest escalation in the US-Iran war so far this week, striking critical Iranian bridges, airports, and infrastructure surrounding the critical Strait of Hormuz chokepoint. Iran has hit back with attacks on the UAE, Qatar and other Gulf states, as well as allegedly targeting US Special Forces outposts in Syria.In today's episode of Iran: The Latest, Sophia Yan and Roland Oliphant break down the overnight news of more kinetic strikes.

Today's Cruise News covers three stories shaping where cruisers can go and how they get there. Egypt and Turkey denied port calls to Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady during a 10-night Atlantis Events charter, prompting a revised Eastern Mediterranean itinerary for roughly 1,900 guests. The U.S. Department of State kept Turks and Caicos at a Level 2 advisory, urging increased caution at the busy Grand Turk cruise port over crime, vendor scams, and strict firearms laws that have led to tourist prosecutions over stray ammunition. And Atlas Ocean Voyages added six fly-cruise departures for the 2027-28 Antarctica season, letting travelers trade the roughly two-day Drake Passage crossing for a two-hour charter flight from Punta Arenas, Chile to King George Island.

The Middle East imports the majority of the chicken it consumes, with Brazil the dominant origin and most cargo routed through the Strait of Hormuz to Gulf ports. When that route was effectively disrupted in early March 2026, the Platts CIF Middle East chicken breast assessment moved from $2,320 a tonne in early February to a peak of $3,150 by mid-April — a 36% increase over eight weeks, driven by freight and routing costs rather than any change in supply or demand. This episode traces how that shock travelled through the container freight market, through the poultry benchmark itself, and into a slower-moving story around Brazilian feed and fertilizer costs that could feed back into Middle East import prices in the seasons ahead. Karan Dadure, associate price reporter covering Middle East poultry markets at S&P Global Energy, joins Arif Islam, Platts price reporter covering shipping freight across the Europe, Middle East, Africa region, and Magdalena Michalik, principal analyst for European proteins at S&P Global Energy, to discuss how the disruption about the Strait of Hormuz repriced Middle East chicken imports, the freight cost dynamics that drove it, and the slower-moving feed and fertilizer story that could shape Brazilian poultry export prices into the 2026-27 season.

In October last year, a ship owned by Adani Ports slowed to less than one knot near Malta. It held that position for over seven days, directly above the cables linking Malta to Sicily. It was no accident. India's largest private port operator has quietly built a fleet of more than a hundred vessels across 12 countries. Their job is servicing the world's offshore energy infrastructure. The business grew 134% in a single year. Ports made Adani rich. But there are only so many ports you can build. What the conglomerate does next may depend on waters far from any dock. Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Cruise News covers three developments across the industry. Holland America Line has revised three of its Zaandam Alaska sailings from Vancouver — departing July 15, August 19, and September 16, 2026 — adjusting departure times and dropping Tracy Arm Fjord service calls because of operating speeds and tidal constraints, including currents up to 15 knots at Seymour Narrows. In Vancouver, Canada Place projects a record cruise season, with roughly 290,000 passengers in July and an estimated 1.4 million across 360 calls in 2026, aided by facial-biometric processing that has cut U.S. Customs times to about 10 seconds. And six cruise ships remain on track for 2026 delivery, including Explora III, MSC World Asia, Adora Flora City, Seven Seas Prestige, Magellan Discoverer, and the hydrogen-powered Viking Libra.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments spanning safety, ports, and ships. In a federal courtroom in Houston, former Royal Caribbean crew member Elias Luis Herrera pleaded guilty to the 2003 sexual assault of a 15-year-old passenger aboard Rhapsody of the Seas; sentencing is set for September 18, 2026, and he faces up to 20 years in prison. Carnival Corporation completed a pier expansion at Celebration Key on Grand Bahama Island, adding two berths so the destination can host up to four ships and more than 13,000 guests a day as part of its $600 million investment, with Princess Cruises and AIDA ships joining Carnival calls. And Royal Caribbean's new Icon-class Legend of the Seas departed Málaga, Spain on its inaugural Mediterranean sailing, a 248,663-gross-ton ship carrying up to 5,610 guests at double occupancy on a four-night voyage to Civitavecchia.
The Golden Crew is back and dangerously patriotic for a Fourth of July special. Trevor, Tom, and Jenn open with holiday plans that range from "community band concert, then maybe the casino" to "stay home and make sure the neighbors don't burn the house down," before digging into what Carnival's got cooking for America's birthday: seven ships meeting up near Celebration Key for a celebration at sea, patriotic deck parties, and the full America 250 program running all week.We break down Carnival's new Milestone rewards — 5,000 points at 50 days, 10,000 and a gift every 100 after that, plus a coin that apparently has nowhere to go now that the coin pusher machines have vanished from the fleet. Then Jenn brings a genuinely heavy one: Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas and the endangered pregnant fin whale it struck off Alaska, and what the speed questions could mean going forward. Plus a full stack of SpeakPipes — Tim checks in from Australia (twice), a listener needs kid-friendly port picks for a February sailing with a 5- and 7-year-old, and someone's after everything Aruba. Spoiler: it's a desert with a beach and a suspicious amount of cactus.Got a question, a hot take, or a cruise story?

Today's Cruise News covers three stories from across the industry. Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sun has dropped four Baltic ports — Nynäshamn/Stockholm, Klaipeda, Gdynia/Gdansk, and Kiel — from its June 24, 2026 sailing after propulsion issues limited the ship to 11 knots, with affected guests offered a $100 onboard credit per stateroom, a 25% future cruise credit, and a 25% fare refund. Ambassador Cruise Line has cut deposits to £99 per person on its 2026-27 fly-Caribbean program aboard Renaissance, featuring 14-night round-trips from Bridgetown, Barbados with Virgin Atlantic charter flights from London Heathrow and Manchester. And Hurtigruten's MS Vesteralen has returned to the classic Bergen–Kirkenes Coastal Express after a heritage-led refit that renovated 100 cabins and added new Arctic Superior cabins and Mini Suites.

In Episode 90 of Trade Splaining, Ardian Mollabeqiri and Robert Skidmore are back to unpack how geopolitics, energy markets and global shipping disruptions are finding their way into the everyday economy — from oil prices and port congestion to pain au chocolat, ice cream cones and Aperol Spritzes. We start with the Strait of Hormuz, where fears of an oil price shock ran into a more complicated reality. China's role as a “swing importer,” existing oil supply gluts, demand destruction, rerouting and refinery adaptation all helped explain why markets did not quite melt down — even as the risks around energy security and logistics remain very real. Then we follow the supply chain into breakfast and dessert. Why is a pain au chocolat more expensive? Why can an ice cream cone cost $8? The answer is not one input but many — wheat, butter, cocoa, diesel, refrigeration, labour, packaging and energy all moving in uncomfortable directions at once. Globalization, it turns out, is now coming for your snack budget. This episode also features a conversation with Jan Hoffmann, Global Lead for Maritime Transport and Ports at the World Bank, on the latest Container Port Performance Index. Jan explains what the CPPI actually measures, why port rankings can get political, how rerouting through the Red Sea, Hormuz and beyond affects port performance, and why the global shipping map is changing in ways that are more about friend-shoring than near-shoring. We also get into MSC vs Maersk, port ownership, shipping line-linked terminal operators, the geopolitics of port concessions, and — naturally — Jan's ongoing haircut index and his Washington, DC kebab recommendation. Plus: Gen Z's anti-AI nostalgia, the World Cup heat dome, Bosnia's unofficial theme song, Geneva's Aperol Spritz problem, and why 320 kilos of meth is probably over the “personal use” threshold. Listen now for a trade, shipping and geopolitics episode that connects the Strait of Hormuz, China's energy leverage, port performance, global inflation and your next overpriced ice cream cone.
Mike Switzer interviews Jessica Holdman, a reporter with the South Carolina Daily Gazette in Columbia, SC. Jessica tells us about the ports pausing activity at the Leatherman terminal and a GLP-1 pharma company in Aiken is expanding.
Today's Cruise News brief covers three developments across the cruise industry. Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas returns to Europe for the first time in five years after an April to May 2026 drydock, sailing the Western Mediterranean from Barcelona and Civitavecchia before a July transatlantic crossing back to Port Canaveral, with roughly 100 new staterooms and refreshed onboard venues. MSC Cruises expands its Aurea Spa concept across its 23-ship fleet beginning summer 2026, adding medical-wellness services such as IV therapy, aesthetic injectables, AI-supported skin diagnostics, and a Japanese-inspired head spa. And Celestyal Cruises adds Agios Nikolaos, Crete as a regular call on its seven-night Idyllic Greece itinerary, replacing Heraklion, with an inaugural visit on May 12, 2026 and 28 annual calls planned.

Michael Bernstam discusses the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian oil market, noting that strikes on refineries and ports have forced Russia to export more crude oil at discounted prices instead of high-value refined products. Simultaneously, U.S. oil production has hit record levels, significantly influencing global market prices. (9)1905 BAKU
1. Renewed Strategic Threat from Cuba Despite the Cold War being considered over, Cuba is again being viewed as a potential military staging ground for U.S. adversaries. The concern is not nuclear missiles like in 1962, but modern drone systems. 2. Drone Warfare Changes Everything Drones are: Cheap, mobile, and hard to detect Capable of low-altitude flight (avoiding radar) Effective in large swarm attacks Examples cited: Russia using Iranian drones in Ukraine Drones attacking infrastructure like power grids 3. Geographic Danger Cuba is only ~90 miles from Florida, making it: Extremely close for drone operations A potential launch platform against U.S. cities, ports, and infrastructure 4. Growing Alliance Against the U.S. Increasing military and intelligence cooperation between Cuba, Russia, and Iran Activities include: Naval visits Political meetings Agreements on military and intelligence coordination Iran also expanding influence across Latin America 5. “Gray Zone Warfare” Strategy Adversaries may avoid direct war and instead use: Drone attacks Cyber warfare Infrastructure sabotage Disinformation Goal: Disrupt the U.S. without triggering full-scale conflict 6. Potential Attack Scenarios Drone swarms launched from Cuba could target: Military bases Airports Power grids Ports and fuel systems Even small attacks could cause: Economic disruption Public panic 7. U.S. Vulnerabilities Current weaknesses include: Limited counter-drone defenses Unprepared local law enforcement Vulnerable infrastructure Borders are a possible entry point for equipment or operatives Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
