—Here are 3 big things you need to know—
One — President Biden is in Germany today, where he’ll participate in a summit with the leaders of Germany, France and the UK. On the table is support for Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion and efforts to stabilize the Middle East. His trip was rescheduled from last week after the devastation wrought by Hurricane Milton in Florida.
Two —- White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre is telling Stellantis to keep the promises the automaker made in the contract agreement with the UAW. The company is said to be considering building the popular Ram 1500 pickup in Mexico instead of the U.S. The pickup is currently built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, while heavy-duty Ram trucks and ProMaster vans are built in Mexico.
And number three — A former Nevada Democratic official convicted of killing a journalist will spend at least 28 years in prison. Former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was found guilty in August for the murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German over articles about him. A jury sentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 20 years. On Wednesday, a judge added eight years to the minimum time behind bars.
