US President-elect Donald Trump is expected to pick billionaire Scott Bessent as his Treasury secretary, media outlets reported Friday, choosing the hedge fund manager to help execute an agenda promising tax cuts and tariffs. Bessent, who is chief executive officer of Key Square Group, has called for an extension of tax cuts from Trump's first term, wants to reassert American energy dominance, and pledges to deal with the budget deficit. The Wall Street Journal, CNN and The Washington Post reported the news, citing unnamed sources. Trump's transition team did not issue an immediate statement. Bessent's nomination puts him at the forefront of rolling out Trump's economic plan, with a hand in everything from seeing tax cuts through Congress to managing trade ties with countries like China. The position carries influence over both domestic and international policy, and comes after Bessent served as an economic advisor to Trump. With Trump promising sweeping tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, all eyes will be on how Bessent walks the line between supporting these efforts and fanning trade tensions that might roil the world economy. The Treasury Department has oversight across a range of departments, from federal finances to bank supervision. The portfolio also oversees US sanctions and advising the president on economic issues. bys/sst Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. Our second-half goalscorers ❤️ pic.twitter.com/aFCIMffFaK — Arsenal (@Arsenal) November 26, 2024 To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.On June 20, 1979, President Jimmy Carter —sporting a bushy haircut and a wide necktie—invited dignitaries and reporters onto the roof of the White House to watch the installation of thirty-two solar water-heating panels. “A generation from now,” he told them, “this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.” A generation later, one of those panels showed up in a private museum in the offices of an entrepreneur named Huang Ming, in the city of Dezhou, China. In the spring of 2010, I interviewed Ming, who was building a vast fortune by installing pretty much the same solar water heaters across the country. If you’re flying into a Chinese city, look down and you might see one of the devices on every other roof; even back then there were places where ninety-five per cent of homes sported a panel. Ming had built a truly remarkable headquarters—the so-called Sun-Moon Mansion looked like something out of “The Jetsons,” with two sweeping horseshoes of solar panels that resembled the rings of Saturn cut in half. Ming described Carter as a visionary, and shook his head a little ruefully at the path America hadn’t followed. That path—well, it’s truly painful to look back on it now, from the vantage point of an Earth where the poles are melting fast, where Africa may be losing fifteen per cent a year of its G.D.P. per capita because of the effects of warming, and where a senior climate adviser for the current President recently said that we now need “a transformation of the global economy on a size and scale that’s never occurred in human history” to “create a livable future for ourselves and our children.” Jimmy Carter, who was elected in 1976, wasn’t focussed on global warming, though advisers were beginning to warn him about it. Even without the existential impetus of climate change, though, struggling to stay politically afloat during the geopolitical crises that came with the twin oil shocks of the seventies—one caused by OPEC ’s embargo, the other largely by the Iranian Revolution—he sensed how high the stakes really were. The energy crisis, he told Americans early on, using adult language that it’s impossible to imagine an American President using today, was a reminder that “ours is the most wasteful nation on earth.” By 1979, gas-station lines were causing alarm in suburbia, and knocking the edge off his popularity. But, instead of simply drilling more oil wells (America was just a decade removed from the Santa Barbara oil spill and the first Earth Day), he treated the trouble as an opportunity. “All the legislation in the world can’t fix what is wrong with America,” he said. “Too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption.” It was time to act on the realization that “owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning . . . that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.” That world view—the very thing Carter has been lauded for in retrospect, amid images of him building houses for the poor, teaching Sunday school, and holding hands with Rosalynn, his beloved wife of seventy-seven years, in the same modest house in which they lived for decades, until her death, in November—was less popular politically. Not unpopular: with a few weeks to go until the 1980 election, he was still well ahead in the polls, before a late surge from Ronald Reagan ended his political career. But not popular enough: that election was the hinge point in our national political life, when we turned our back on the idea of America as a group project that we’d been pursuing since F.D.R. , and instead embraced the vision that government was the problem, that markets took care of all ills, that our job was to look after our own individual selves. Reagan had no qualms about drilling everywhere: the price of gas dropped, cars turned into S.U.V.s, and we started driving the Earth toward the edge of the cliff. It wasn’t just noble sentiments that Carter offered in the leadup to the 1980 election, however. In fact, in the wake of the oil shocks, his main policy proposal was for solar power. His main domestic-policy adviser, Stuart Eizenstat, told him that “a strong solar message and program will be important in trying to counter the hopelessness which polls are showing the public feels about energy. . . . I’m quite convinced Congress and the American people want a Manhattan-type project on alternative energy development.” Carter agreed and started proposing measures designed to make sure that, by the year 2000, a fifth of the country’s energy would come from solar power. He called for spending a hundred million dollars in fiscal year 1980 to create a solar bank. He asked for additional hundreds of millions to fund solar projects and research, and offered a billion dollars in tax credits to homeowners who wanted to put panels on their roofs or install wind-energy systems. He declared May 3, 1978, to be Sun Day, and delivered a speech (in a driving rain—he was characteristically unlucky) from a federal solar-research facility in Golden, Colorado. “The question is no longer whether solar energy works,” he said. “We know it works. The only question is how to cut costs so that solar power can be used more widely and so that it will set a cap on rising oil prices.” He continued, “Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air. It will not poison our waters. It’s free from stench and smog. The sun’s power needs only to be collected, stored, and used.” Carter was correct. Had we embarked on an enormous project of solar research then and there, we could have cut the costs of renewable energy far faster than we did. There was no single technological breakthrough that finally lowered the cost of solar power below that of fossil fuel in the past decade, just a long series of iterative improvements that could have come much faster had we worked with the vigor of, say, the Manhattan Project. Instead, Reagan immediately cut the budget for solar research by eighty-five per cent and did away with the tax credit for solar panels, decimating the infant industry. His national-security adviser, Richard Allen, told Reagan about a book denigrating solar energy, whose author had claimed that it was “little more than a continuation of the political wars of a decade ago by other means. . . . Where salvation was once to be gotten from the Revolution, now it will come from everyone’s best friend, that great and simplistic cure of all energy ills, the sun.” The culture war against clean energy had begun. And the solar panels on the White House came down. According to the Washington Post , the founder of the company that installed the panels said that Donald T. Regan, Reagan’s chief of staff, called them a “joke.” They rested for a while in a federal warehouse in Virginia, but most were eventually rescued by a small, environmentally minded school in rural Maine, Unity College, where for many years they supplied hot water to the cafeteria. That’s where I found them in 2010; the college handed over one of them, and with three Unity students and a professor I drove south to Washington, D.C., intending to give it to the Obama Administration. (It was also Unity that gave the panel to Ming; he accepted it on behalf of the Chinese people.) It was a splendid road trip: with the group 350.org (which I co-founded), we held rallies along the way, in Boston, New York, and Baltimore, and at each stop we used gallons of water to show that after three decades the panel still worked fine. Our hope was that, if President Barack Obama put it back on the roof, it would mark a symbolic closing of the circle, and would refire interest in the technology. But it turned out the Administration wasn’t interested—a trio of what the Times Green blog called “midlevel White House officials” met with our delegation in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and refused to accept the gift. They wouldn’t really explain why, which left the students in tears and me with steam coming unproductively out of my ears. Looking back, though, it’s clear why Obama at that moment did not want much to do with anything so closely associated with Carter. Obama was a deep student of political history, and he knew far better than most how crucial that 1980 election had been; the country had chosen to head in a new direction, and that direction still held, though he was doing all he could to soften its edges and sand its corners. (In 2014, his Administration did, in fact, install solar panels on the White House.) Here’s how he put it a few years later, in perhaps the best summation of the past forty years of our political life: “Through Clinton and even through how I thought about these issueswhen I first came into office, I think there was a residualwillingness to accept the political constraints that we’d inheritedfrom the post-Reagan era—that you had to be careful about being toobold on some of these issues. And probably there was an embrace ofmarket solutions to a whole host of problems that wasn’t entirelyjustified.” Only recently, in the Biden Administration, has a President really tried to shrug off that embrace, and with some success. Joe Biden—who was the first senator to endorse Jimmy Carter in his 1976 run for the White House—tried to throw the weight of the federal government behind clean energy, seeking to get us back to work on that group project of building a working society and a working planet. He’s opened the plants and cut the ribbons that Jimmy Carter might have opened and cut in his second term. That we waited forty years means that our planet will be, at the very least, deeply damaged. But Biden’s effort was by far the greatest tribute anyone could pay to the thirty-ninth President. ♦ New Yorker Favorites The best performances of 2024. A professor claimed to be Native American.

Ajax lost 1-3 to Italian team SS Lazio in the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League. The Amsterdammers equalized through Bertrand Traore early into the second half, but goals from Pedro and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru gave the leaders of the Europa League the victory. It was Ajax’s third loss in their last five matches and their second in a row in the UEFA Europa League after they lost to Real Sociedad in their previous game. Despite this, they will likely still advance in the Europa League as their next match is against RFS from Latvia, who have two points in their six games. Lazio took the lead in the 12th minute. Lazio’s experienced Spanish player Pedro played a through ball to Loum Tchaouna, whose shot went in via the Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer. Ajax had a chance to equalize in the 19th minute. A cross from Rensch found Brian Brobbey, but it was just about too high for the striker. Francesco Farioli’s team made the best possible start to the second half by equalizing. Steven Berghuis’ cross was headed toward goal by Kenneth Taylor. Lazio defender Luca Pellegrini cleared the ball off the line, but it went out to Bertrand Traore, who smashed the ball into the net to make it 1-1. However, the ArenA was silenced again five minutes later as the Roman team re-took the lead. A cross from Mattia Zaccagni went to the far post where Fisayo Dele-Bashiru shot toward the goal. Pasveer thought he had saved it initially, but goalline technology showed that the ball had gone over the line. Brobbey had another chance to score later on in the half after Pellegrini’s attempt to chest the ball back to the keeper was intercepted by Brobbey, but the striker’s header went wide of the goal. Pedro followed up his assist with a terrific goal in the 77th minute. Nuno Tavares came forward from his own half, dribbling past two players before passing the ball on to Tchaouna, who laid it off to the Spaniard. Ajax created chances to equalize late on in the match. They hit the crossbar twice via Traore and Anton Gaaei before Chuba Akpom missed a significant chance to score.US President-elect Donald Trump is expected to pick billionaire Scott Bessent as his Treasury secretary, media outlets reported Friday, choosing the hedge fund manager to help execute an agenda promising tax cuts and tariffs.

Tetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday. Projected as a top-10 draft pick, the 6-foot-5, 212-pound McMillan finished his illustrious career at Arizona with 3,423 receiving yards, breaking the mark set by Bobby Wade (3,351). In three seasons, the Hawaii native also posted the fourth-most catches (213) and third-most touchdowns (26) in school history. "Wildcat Nation, this journey has been everything I dreamed of and more," McMillan wrote on Instagram. "From the moment I committed to the University of Arizona, to every second spent wearing that Arizona jersey ... it's been an absolute honor. "The University of Arizona has provided me with the platform to grow and chase my dreams. ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the best fans in the country, I appreciate you for all of the love and support you have given me these last 3 years. I will always be a Wildcat." In 2024, McMillan totaled 84 grabs (ninth in Division I) for 1,319 yards (third in Division I) and eight touchdowns for the 4-8 Wildcats. He also ranked third in Division I with 109.9 receiving yards per game. McMillan is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the most outstanding receiver in college football. --Field Level Media
