NATION/WORLD Tuesday, June 25, 2019 East Oregonian A7 BRIEFLY Slurpees incoming! 7-Eleven begins delivery NEW YORK (AP) — Craving a Slurpee but lack- ing the motivation to get off a park bench? No worries. 7-Eleven launched a deliv- ery service Monday that will send a Slurpee or almost anything else carried by the chain to public places rang- ing from parks to beaches. The company told The Associated Press that more than 2,000 7-Eleven “hot spots” including New York’s Central Park and Venice Beach in Los Angeles will be activated Monday. Custom- ers need to download 7-Elev- en’s 7NOW app and select “Show 7NOW Pins” to find a hot spot close by. 7-Eleven believes it will eventually be able to deliver to 200,000 hot spot locations, said Gurmeet Singh, the company’s chief digital infor- mation and marketing officer. warfare.” Iran also appeared ready to push back against the buildup of U.S. forces in the region, after shooting down an American drone it says violated its airspace last week. In response, U.S. officials have announced yet more stringent sanctions. Driver charged with 7 homicides in biker crash CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The driver of a pickup truck in a fiery collision on a rural New Hamp- shire highway that killed seven motorcyclists was charged Monday with seven counts of negligent homi- cide, and records show he was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving last month and in 2013. Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, 23, was arrested Monday morning at his home in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the New Hampshire attor- ney general’s office said. He will be arraigned Tuesday in Lancaster, New Hampshire, authorities said. He was handed over to New Hampshire authorities after a brief court appear- ance Monday in Springfield, Massachusetts. Zhukovskyy looked down at his feet as he was led into the court- room with his hands cuffed behind his back. Connecticut prosecutors say he was arrested May 11 in an East Windsor Walmart Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambas- sador to Canada, responding to questions she had about a funding matter. But the acknowledgment email the EPA got back a few hours later wasn’t from the ambassador. It was from her husband, coal magnate Joseph Craft, a wealthy GOP donor who had simul- taneously been taking part in a months-long press by the coal industry for access and regulatory relief from the EPA and the Trump administration in general. The blurring of roles — and email accounts — by the Crafts this time and oth- ers since she began repre- senting the U.S. is raising questions as senators con- sider her nomination by President Donald Trump. parking lot after failing a sobriety test. Officers had responded to a complaint about a man who was rev- ving his truck engine and jumping up and down out- side the vehicle. Zhukovskyy’s lawyer in that case, John O’Brien, said he denies being intoxicated and will fight the charge. Zhukovskyy refused to sub- mit to a blood test, prosecu- tors said. Trump’s UN choice and her coal magnate spouse WASHINGTON (AP) — The email went out from senior Environmental Pro- tection Agency officials to The U.N. post would give her a prime seat at interna- tional talks to fight climate change, in part by encourag- ing limits on the burning of coal, with its heat-trapping emissions. “Thanks!!” the coal baron replied to the Decem- ber 2017 email from EPA officials, which had been addressed to “Ambassador Craft.” The agency was fol- lowing up on a briefing she had gotten from then-EPA head Scott Pruitt on fed- eral funding for cleaning up the Great Lakes, an issue of great interest to Canada. Joseph Craft sent the acknowledgment on his work email for his Tulsa, Oklahoma-based coal com- pany, Alliance Resource Partners LP. Pompeo in talks on building a coalition against Iran DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. Sec- retary of State Mike Pompeo held talks on Monday with leaders in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates about countering the mil- itary threat from Iran by building a broad, global coa- lition that includes Asian and European countries. While Pompeo has seem- ingly willing and wealthy partners in the two Arab allies, he is likely to face a tough sell in Europe and Asia, particularly from those nations still committed to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that President Donald Trump repudiated last year. With tensions running high in the region after Iran shot down a U.S. sur- veillance drone on June 20 and Trump said he aborted a retaliatory strike, Iran’s naval commander warned that his forces won’t hesitate to down more U.S. drones that violate its airspace. The U.S. has been building up its military presence in the Per- sian Gulf. The U.S. announced additional sanctions Monday on Iran aimed at pressuring the Iranian leadership into talks. The sanctions, reim- posed after Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal, have crippled the Iranian econ- omy and pushed up the cost of living. Iran has decried U.S. sanctions, which essen- tially bar it from selling its oil internationally, as “eco- nomic terrorism.” After departing Saudi Arabia, where he met King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Pompeo met in the UAE with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed to sell the Trump administration’s idea for maritime security in the Per- sian Gulf. The plan would involve the UAE, Saudi Ara- bia and another 20 countries, Pompeo was heard telling the Abu Dhabi prince.

From a subway perform- er’s battered leather hat devoid of tips, to a bride-to- be’s empty purse, the lack of cash from the economic pressure facing Iran’s 80 million people can be seen everywhere. Many blame President Donald Trump and his max- imalist policy on Iran, which has seen him pull out of Teh- ran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and levy pun- ishing U.S. sanctions on the country. In recent weeks, Iran has threatened to break out of the deal unless Euro- pean powers mitigate what it calls Trump’s “economic Valid 6/25/19 thru 7/2/19 10 clip or CLICK!
