President Trump and New York City Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani are heaping praise on each other. Both men were pleased after their White House meeting, their first since the Democratic socialist got elected mayor in a campaign where Trump and Mamdani were very critical of one another. Trump added that the better Mamdani does, the happier he is because he loves New York.        Ukraine has until Thanksgiving day to sign off on a new Russia-Ukraine peace plan drawn up by the U.S. President Trump also told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade that the plan calls on Ukraine to cede land to Russia that they have not yet lost in the war. Trump predicts they "will lose" that land in a short period of time if the fighting continues.        The Coast Guard is clarifying current policy regarding hate symbols. In a policy released late Thursday, the Coast Guard said, "divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited" and added that includes nooses, swastikas "and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups." This comes after multiple reports said the Coast Guard was moving to label such symbols as "potentially divisive."        Two U.S. citizens and two Chinese nationals are being charged in an alleged conspiracy to export cutting-edge NVIDIA [[ en-videe-uh ]] graphics and AI units to China. The federal indictment out of Florida says the group allegedly received nearly four million dollars in wire transfers from China as payment. Prosecutors say it's part of a campaign by China to become the world leader in AI by 2030.        Automatic refunds are going out to millions of Amazon Prime members. It's the result of the company's two-point-five-billion-dollar settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. You should get an email from Amazon asking you to claim the money through Paypal or Venmo if you're entitled to an automatic refund. Or you can choose to get a check in the mail.        A "Superman" number one comic book sold at auction for over nine-million-bucks. The money shelled out for the 1938 issue is thought to be the most ever paid for a comic book. The comic, considered one of the holy grails for collectors, was found in a box in a northern California attic by three brothers cleaning out their late mother's house.
