Top US officials Blinken, Austin to visit India for Indo-Pacific talks
Wednesday, 8 November 2023 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are set to hold talks with India to discuss security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region and concerns over China. The talks, part of the "2+2 Dialogue" between the two countries, will focus on defence cooperation and aligning policy objectives. The discussions will also cover defence collaboration, including joint development of defence equipment. The discussions come ahead of President Biden's expected meeting with China's President Xi Jinping and a possible visit to India in January.
After Blinken’s F-16 Announcement, Norway pledges to donate six F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, with deliveries starting this year, fulfilling a promise made during Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre's visit to Kyiv in August 2023. Multiple NATO countries, including the US, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands, have committed to providing F-16s, aiming for over 60 jets by year-end.

In a surprising turn of events, the United States disclosed that Iran sought its assistance following the helicopter crash that tragically killed President Ebrahim Raisi over the weekend. While offering condolences, Washington stated that it was unable to accommodate the Iranian request due to logistical challenges. This rare appeal from Iran, which typically regards America and Israel as adversaries, was revealed by the US State Department during a news briefing. Responding to queries about potential blame from Tehran, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin firmly denied any US involvement in the crash.

On June 26, South by Southwest (SXSW) announced that the
United States Army would no longer be sponsoring the
2025 festival after boycotts by artists and panelists occurred in 2024.
After careful consideration,
we are revising our sponsorship
model. As a result, the U.S. Army,
and companies who engage in
weapons manufacturing, will
not be sponsors of SXSW 2025, SXSW statement, via Fox News.

The group called for a boycott of SXSW

We appreciated the opportunity
to join South by Southwest in 2024.
With U.S. Army Futures Command
headquartered in Austin, we value
any opportunity to join with our
community to ignite discovery
and make new connections. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
The Army will continue to
seek opportunities to meet
technology innovators and
leaders, explore new ideas
and insights, and create dynamic
industry partnerships because
tomorrow is worth protecting. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense
contractors including Raytheon
subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,

Genocide profiteers like Raytheon
supply weapons to the IDF, paid for
by our taxes. A music festival should
not include war profiteers. I refuse
to be complicit in this and withdrawl
