Dockworkers' strike suspended as tentative deal reached
Two days after U.S. dockworkers went on strike, the stoppage was suspended Thursday after a tentative deal was reached. The International Longshoremen's Association, which went on strike Tuesday for the first time since 1977, will go back to work Friday amid a new labor contract with the U.S. Maritime Association. The strike was suspended until Jan. 15, 2025, as dockworkers agreed to a continuation of their latest contract until a new agreement is approved, allowing time-sensitive shipments such as fresh fruits and vegetables, medications and other goods to be delivered.

Oil prices spike after Biden admits to talk of Israeli targets
President Joe Biden said he was "discussing" possible Israeli strikes on Iranian oil facilities, in comments that sent oil prices spiking Thursday just a month before the US presidential election. Biden told reporters at the White House that he was not expecting Israel to launch any retaliation for Tehran's missile barrage on Israel, before Thursday at least. When asked if he supported Israel striking Iran's oil facilities, Biden said "we're discussing that. I think that would be a little... anyway." Oil prices jumped 5% over concerns of a broader war in the Middle East after Biden spoke.

Tesla stops selling its most popular and affordable Model 3
Tesla is no longer selling its popular and most affordable Model 3 compact sedan in the U.S. This comes as the electric carmaker reported a smaller-than-expected rise in third-quarter deliveries. Tesla removed the Standard Range Rear-Wheel Drive Model 3 version from its website as of Wednesday. Due to the Biden administration's recent tariffs on Chinese imports, including a 100% tariff on electric vehicles and a 25% tariff on EV batteries and key minerals, importing these components has grown costly.

Death toll tops 200 in Helene's aftermath

More than 200 people are confirmed dead after Hurricane Helene carved a path of destruction through the US southeast, making it the second deadliest storm to hit the US mainland in more than half a century. President Joe Biden made his second straight day of visits to grieve with residents of a region traumatized by a disaster that has upended life for millions. The storm flooded towns, made countless roads impassable, knocked out power and water service, and left communities shell-shocked as the official death toll climbed to 201.
