China Aids Russia; Beef Prices Soar; Trump Golf Course Faces Lawsuit

China's increased support for Russia's war in Ukraine, rising beef prices in the U.S., and legal challenges to former President Donald Trump's actions in Washington, D.C., dominated recent headlines, alongside a landmark election in Bangladesh. Western officials reported that China deepened its cooperation with Moscow in 2025, becoming a key facilitator of the war by exporting dual-use components and critical minerals used in Russian drone production, according to Fortune. Meanwhile, American consumers faced a 15% increase in beef prices, and golfers sued the federal government over Trump's overhaul of a historic public golf course. In Bangladesh, the first fair election in nearly two decades concluded, leaving the winners with a daunting to-do list.

According to Fortune, Western officials stated that China's support for Russia's war effort is likely to intensify further in the coming year, posing challenges to European efforts to improve relations with Beijing. The officials described China as the key facilitator of the war, as Russia's ability to continue the war in Ukraine depends on ongoing Chinese support.

In the U.S., beef prices surged, with the broad beef and veal category up 15% over the past year as of January, according to Fortune. Uncooked ground beef reached a fresh record, rising the most since June 2020. While chicken prices rose only by 1.1% in the past 12 months, and milk was little changed, the beef price surge has pressured the White House to respond.

In Washington, D.C., two golfers sued the federal government to prevent the Trump administration from overhauling a more than 100-year-old public golf course, accusing the administration of violating environmental laws and polluting a park on the National Register of Historic Places, according to Fortune. This lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal battles challenging Trump's efforts to put his mark on public spaces in the nation's capital.

In Bangladesh, a landmark election concluded, marking the country's first fair election in nearly two decades, according to NPR Politics. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party emerged with a landslide victory, and now the winners face pressure to tackle corruption and a battered economy.
