โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ โ€“ The UN Security Council will meet tomorrow to hold a second informal poll on who will be the next Secretary General of the organization, which is going through one of its toughest crisis in decades.

The office traditionally rotates between different regions, and this time it should go to a Latin American contender, which has shown on both leading candidates and the nationalities of contenders.

After last month's poll, Costa Rica's Rebeca Grynspan was leading among the nations in the Security Council. She was followed by Argentina's Rafael Grossi, Chile's Michelle Bachelet, Ecuador's Maria Fernanda Espinosa, Guyana's Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, as well as two African contenders.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ฒ โ€“ The number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz is still in the single digits, according to Reuters, citing Kpler data.

Only seven ships crossed the Strait on Thursday, of which four entered and three exited. Some used the Iranian route, including a large gas carrier, and there were no very large crude carriers (VLCC) anywhere to be seen.

Traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has also slowed down, with only 23 ships crossing Thursday, compared to 34 on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This is despite Trump's and Axios' claim that tens of millions of oil barrels have continued to cross the Strait into global markets daily under U.S. guidance.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต โ€“ The U.S. and South Korea wrapped up their annual 'Ulchi Freedom Shield' military drill six days earlier than planned after Trump ordered to scale down military excersises with South Korea, as a goodwill gesture towards the North and as reprisal for the lack of South Korean assistance in the Iran war.

North Korea has shown Trump's gesture isn't enough to bring their country back into talks, and Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, even mocked the South as an American puppet following what they see as a U.S. capitulation.
