US Treasury hack, Trump and Musk on visas and Syria's Ukraine overtures
Description
The U.S. Treasury says Chinese state-sponsored hackers stole documents in what it has described as a 'major incident', which China denies. President-elect Donald Trump has sided with Elon Musk in a public dispute over the use of the H-1B visa. Syria’s new foreign minister has told Ukraine that it hopes for strategic partnerships with Kyiv, as Russia's influence wanes and the U.S. watches developments closely.
This episode has been corrected to remove an erroneous reference to JD Vance as President-elect.
