JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has opened up about his recent private meeting with the Mayor of New York City Zohran MamdaniHe said he warned socialists about the risks of bad governance and ideology-driven policy making.Speaking to Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo on Friday, Dimon called the closed-door meeting “pleasant” but made clear he did not back down during the conversation.Dimon said, “He was very polite. It was very serious. We had a very good conversation, but I said everything I wanted to say.”The banker said she used the debate to speak out on key issues affecting New Yorkers, including affordable housing and child care. However, he said poorly designed policies could create bigger problems rather than solutions.“I have to talk about affordable housing and child care. Most people want it. If you do it badly, it will be a disaster… Do it right. There are studies that can tell you how to do it right. Get people involved who know what they’re doing and implement appropriate policies,” he said.Dimon also criticized politicians who focus primarily on taxes and spending rather than fixing the system and administration.“Good policy is free,” he said. “I want to say to politicians, ‘Don’t try to raise more taxes or spend more money, sit down and decide policy.’The JPMorgan boss also pointed to Mamdani’s lack of executive experience while discussing the challenges of running America’s largest city.“I mean, he’s now running a city with 300,000 employees,” Dimon said before the Reagan National Economic Forum in California.“And I’ve seen mayors fail miserably because they can’t make themselves run out of a paper bag, or ideology blinds them from practical, realistic, real-world policy. And so we’ll see.”He said he would be willing to help if the administration adopts practical solutions.“And, you know, if I can help them do good things, I’m happy to do that.”The meeting took place on May 18, when Mamdani met separately with both Dimon and Goldman Sachs Chief Executive David Solomon. The talks came amid growing concern from business leaders over Mamdani’s proposed economic policies, which also include a tax on second homes worth more than $1 million. The mayor recently faced criticism after filming a promotional video for the proposed tax outside a penthouse owned by hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin.Griffin later described the move as “scary” and announced plans to further expand Citadel’s operations in Florida rather than New York. He also suggested the company might reconsider its planned $6 billion development project on Park Avenue.When asked about the controversy, Dimon suggested that Mamdani may regret the video.“My guess is he probably regrets it,” Dimon said.He added, “But you’ll have to ask them that.”

New Delhi: Even though India is facing energy disruptions due to the West Asia crisis, there could be more troubles for the economy. The IMD on Friday confirmed its forecast of ‘below normal’ monsoon rainfall this year, while further lowering the rainfall threshold during the June-September season, which has a high probability of ‘deficit’ rainfall, also known as a dry year.According to the IMD, rainfall during the season is likely to be 90% of the long period average (LPA) – revised down from 92% estimated in April – with a 60% chance of ‘deficient’ rainfall (less than 90% of the LPA), a situation that could not only impact the agriculture sector but also negatively impact water reservoirs, groundwater recharge and hydropower potential, leading to a crisis at multiple levels.

The IMD attributed the monsoon decline to the possible development of strong El Nino conditions – a climate phenomenon characterized by warming of ocean waters in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific – which is often associated with harsh summers and weak monsoons over India.Accordingly, the IMD has also indicated a hot June in the country, and has predicted ‘above normal’ heatwave days in June over many parts of UP, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh and parts of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand may experience ‘below normal’ heat wave days during the month.The latest climate model forecasts indicate that El Nino conditions are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season,” IMD chief Mrityunjay Mohapatra said, noting that it is expected to move from weak in June to moderate in July-August and strong in September, impacting the entire rainy season.In such a scenario, there is a possibility of a slight delay in the onset of monsoon over Kerala compared to the normal date of June 1 and its subsequent progress over the rest of the country, as well as a delay in commencement of sowing operations, as more than half of India’s cultivated area remains rain-fed.Although the IMD had a few days ago predicted the onset date of monsoon over Kerala as May 26 (+/- with a model error of four days), it now expects it to be any day within the next seven days. Since the ‘monsoon core zone’ – an area encompassing most of central and western India, which largely depends on rain for farming operations – is also predicted to receive ‘below normal’ rainfall, its impact will be felt on the total area of ​​kharif crops and their final production.The risks to the country’s agriculture sector may further increase due to the crisis in West Asia, which has already put pressure on the availability of inputs (diesel and fertilizers) and their costs, thereby impacting the rural economy and ultimately India’s economy in the current financial year.

However, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said the country is fully prepared to deal with any situation and is prepared with contingency measures in terms of other interventions such as selecting drought-tolerant and climate-resilient crop options (such as low-water-intensive varieties of millet and paddy, other crops) in vulnerable districts and providing adequate inputs (seeds and fertilizers) to farmers.Contingency measures include promotion of drought-tolerant crop varieties on a large scale, weather-based agro-advisory services, efficient water management and location-specific adaptation strategies to reduce agricultural losses and protect farmers’ livelihoods.Chouhan asked state governments to be prepared for challenging weather conditions in view of the threat of El Nino and assured them of all possible help from the Central government, adding that there is adequate availability of seeds and fertilizers to meet the demand during the upcoming sowing season.The minister also asked states to prepare their agricultural roadmap based on agro-climatic conditions, available resources and local capacity during the concluding day of a national conference on Kharif preparedness on Friday amid increasing risks to agricultural operations due to El Nino.

A pregnant Ghanaian woman and her young son have been held at Washington Dulles International Airport for more than a week, with the pair being held in a windowless detention cell despite serious health concerns, according to lawyers.Annabella Gyasi, 38, arrived at Dulles Airport last Tuesday with her four-year-old son after traveling from Ghana for a medical appointment in Ohio. According to an emergency court petition filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Virginia, the boy was born with deformed hands and was scheduled to be evaluated at Akron Children’s Hospital on May 30 to determine whether he is now old enough for surgery.Instead of boarding their connecting flight, Gyasi and his son were detained by US Customs and Border Protection officers.The couple first traveled to the US in 2024 for treatment for the child, but later returned to Ghana after doctors advised he was still too young for surgery.Gyasi is more than four months pregnant and told immigration officials she feared returning to Ghana because of the harassment she and her son faced. His lawyers say that statement led to his detention.“Ms. Gyasi traveled to the United States legally to get the medical care she needed for her son, but the illegal detention and inhumane treatment she is experiencing at Dulles is putting her son’s health at risk as well as her own,” Sophia Gregg, senior counsel for immigrants’ rights at the ACLU of Virginia, said in a statement.Legal filings allege Gyasi has been hospitalized twice since arriving in the US due to pregnancy-related complications, including vaginal bleeding and dizziness. Despite receiving treatment, he was returned to the airport detention facility after both hospital visits. Doctors raised concerns that she was not eating enough and experiencing stress while in custody. They also allege that repeated requests for additional food for both mother and child were refused.According to the ACLU, Gyasi ultimately agreed to sign the deportation paperwork because she feared for the health of her unborn child and believed it was the only way to secure adequate food. His legal team later informed the authorities that the decision was taken out of frustration.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has rejected the allegations of abuse.“These allegations are false,” the department said in a statement.He added: “Everyone in CBP custody, including this individual, has access to appropriate care, including medical evaluation by a doctor, medication, and food.”Immigration officials argued that Gyasi could not use a tourist visa to enter the country because she had said under oath that she wanted to seek asylum and did not plan to return to Ghana.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday flagged the “worrying trend” of women misusing laws on dowry harassment, domestic violence and POCSO by filing frivolous and vexatious complaints against husbands and in-laws. The court said that the genuine cases are being blurred and obscured due to the “huge” number of false cases filed by the spouses as a way of “arm twisting” to reach a more attractive settlement.A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan said that nowadays when a relationship turns sour, a “marital bouquet” is presented against the estranged husband and wife.“This set of cases often involves spurious and hollow allegations and false claims of harassment, cruelty and marital difficulties, often bearing little or no substance and generally not supported by any material or other documentary evidence,” the bench said.The Supreme Court said, “We also take judicial cognizance of the fact that the courts of law are being misused and the burden of such vague and vexatious litigation between spouses is increasing.”The bench said that there are many cases where women are actually looking for relief from the acts of their spouses and the onus is on the courts to separate the wheat from the chaff. It added that care should be taken to ensure that the rights and liberties of innocent parties are not trampled upon or arbitrarily taken away by dishonest and baseless litigation.“A recent trend in this regard is when the wife resorts to filing false complaints under the POCSO Act, alleging that the husband has committed undesirable acts of a sexual nature against the minor daughter. At the center of such a suit is a child who is often used by his mother against his father, against his will and wishes, to make false and vexatious complaints against his father… out of revenge or a high monetary settlement As a tactic of arm twisting to get by or simply to annoy.” Said.The court passed the order quashing criminal proceedings under POCSO filed by a girl against her father, uncle and other family members. The court said there was no evidence to prove the allegations and the girl was taught by her mother.“Courts have to exercise utmost restraint while considering such suits and criminal proceedings as any missteps and excesses can have a cascading effect on the mental and physical health of the parties involved and the sanctity of the institution of marriage.”
