He described the American operations as "heinous assassinations," arguing that the victims of the attacks had not been proven to have committed any crimes.

US actions in the Caribbean pose a threat not only to Venezuela, but also to "all humanity" and the UN system, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister added.

Washington, November 14 (Xinhua) — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects U.S. GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 to be lower than the previously projected 1.9 percent, but is experiencing a data shortage due to the recent federal government shutdown. This was stated by IMF spokesperson Julie Kozak at a press briefing on Thursday.

The lack of accurate economic data due to the record 43-day shutdown is making it difficult for the IMF to assess the health of the US economy, she noted.

"The US economy has proven its resilience over the past few years. Now we're seeing pressures starting to build," said J. Kozak. "Domestic demand is weakening, and employment growth is slowing. The combination of declining immigration, tariffs, and broader political uncertainty is putting pressure on activity," she added.

However, this effect will likely end in the first quarter of 2026, said J. Kozak.

According to the IMF, inflation in the US is moving toward the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target, but tariffs are increasing the upside risks. Despite stabilized inflation expectations, rising prices are "causing pain for certain segments of society," J. Kozak emphasized.

Hanoi, November 14 (Xinhua) — A landslide in the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang on Friday left three people missing, and search and rescue efforts are underway, the Vietnam News Agency reported.

Three people were working in a field on Friday morning when a landslide occurred. All three are still missing.

The landslide was caused by a large volume of soil and rocks from a hill in Hung Son commune, combined with groundwater that had accumulated over a long period of time.

According to local newspaper Tien Phong, an entire section of a hill collapsed, burying about five farmhouses and damaging more than 200 meters of road.

According to local authorities, prolonged rains and floods since the end of September have caused landslides in many areas of the commune.

Families in high-risk areas were relocated to minimize potential losses. –0–

Responding to questions about the selection of Sanya Port as the permanent homeport for the aircraft carrier Fujian, Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesman Jiang Bin stated that Sanya's military port was chosen based on factors such as its hydrological conditions, location, the construction of supporting infrastructure in the surrounding area, and the aircraft carrier's ability to carry out combat training missions at sea.

The aircraft carrier Fujian, China's first aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic catapults, was commissioned earlier this month at the naval port of Sanya in South China's Hainan Province.

Jiang Bin reiterated that China adheres to the path of peaceful development, pursues a defensive defense policy, and the Chinese military is a strong force for safeguarding world peace. -0-

BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Friday criticized the United States for selling arms to the Chinese region of Taiwan, saying China expresses serious dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to the move and will take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.

The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. side had approved the first arms sale to Taiwan during Donald Trump's second presidency, according to media reports.

Asked to comment on the reports, Lin Jian said at a regular departmental press conference that the US arms sales to Taiwan seriously violate the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, especially the communiqué of August 17, 1982, undermine China's sovereignty and security interests, violate international law, and send a seriously wrong signal to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence."

"The Taiwan question lies at the core of China's core interests and is the first red line that must not be crossed in Sino-US relations," Lin Jian noted.

China urges the US to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, implement the commitments made by US leaders on Taiwan-related issues, stop condoning and assisting separatist forces in their attempt to achieve "Taiwan independence" through military buildup, and safeguard China-US relations and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait with concrete actions, the Chinese diplomat added. -0-
