Germany's ambassador to the U.S. has issued a warning about President-elect Donald Trump's intention to reshape the nation's constitutional framework, a move he says would concentrate power with the presidency. The document reveals concerns over law enforcement and media independence in an impending Trump administration.
Meanwhile, Kenya dispatched over 200 police officers to Haiti to support a security mission against rising gang violence. This move is part of a broader international effort, with 3,100 troops pledged, but few countries have deployed their forces to date.
