💨 Abstract
A truck crash on I-270 northbound near Urbana, Maryland, has caused significant traffic delays. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy plans to build two facilities in Palawan, Philippines, for maintaining Philippine military boats, aiming to support a free and open Indo-Pacific. This move comes amid ongoing tensions in the South China Sea, where China claims virtually the entire territory, and is part of the broader U.S. strategy to defend its allies in the region.
