MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — You may have heard that "neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night..." will prevent mail carriers from completing their appointed rounds.

BEIJING (AP) — A bitter dispute between China and the U.S. over Huawei has intensified as Beijing demanded Washington back off its sweeping "crackdown" on the telecom giant the U.S. has charged with stealing technology secrets and violating Iran sanctions. The developments have complicated trade talks between the world's two biggest economies. China's foreign ministry says it will "firmly defend" its companies while Huawei Technologies Ltd. has denied committing any of the violations in the U.S. indictment.
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Trump administration has launched an effort to make asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts despite opposition and mixed signals from Mexico. A top Mexican official says Mexico would only accept people 18 to 60 years old, which the U.S. said was untrue.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas shooting survivor Kimberly King says she wasn't surprised that an FBI report released Tuesday found no motive for the gunman because it's felt for a long time like there will be no answers.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's Supreme Court has barred opposition leader Juan Guaido from leaving the country as international pressure mounts against the government led by President Nicolas Maduro. The move comes hours after chief prosecutor Tarek William Saab asked the government-stacked high court to restrict Guaido's movements and freeze any assets. Guaido is head of the opposition-controlled congress and declared himself the nation's rightful president under the constitution last week.
