How should Europe respond now its American ally has turned hostile?

As trusted friends join the ranks of predators, it could be time to take a tougher line – soft power is no longer enough

Sassnitz’s moment in the historical spotlight was fleeting. Now, thanks to Donald Trump’s blundering buddies, it’s back there again.

A trio of Republican senators – Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Ron Johnson – are threatening to wreak terrible punishment on Sassnitz, its elected officials and residents who make their living from the port. Luckily, Trump’s three stooges seem unaware of Sassnitz’s role in propelling the Bolshevik leader to power. Their beef concerns its present-day dealings with Russia and the almost-completed Nord Stream 2 Baltic pipeline project.

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look. Read more: The best fitness trackers Huawei Watch Fit design Credit: Kris Carlon / Android Authority The Huawei Watch Fit will instantly appeal to those who like Huawei’s smartwatch offerings but aren’t into the bulkiness of them. I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will...

Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger: Power and versatility

Gallium Nitride chargers are the single biggest innovation to come to the relatively staid world of charging bricks. The size advantage can’t be overstated. Combined with USB-C, it makes using a single charger for all your devices a very realistic solution. Aukey is just one of the brands to have dived headfirst into the world of GaN chargers with a wide portfolio of products. In fact, I reviewed the company’s 100W charger recently. However, with charging sockets at a premium, the single port charger wasn’t quite cutting it for me. Now, I’ve been testing the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger for the last few weeks. It aims to solve just that problem. How well does it perform? We find out in the Android Authority  review of the Aukey Omnia 65W PD GaN charger. Aukey 65W PD GaN charger: What is it?
