JPMorgan Chase is facing a high-profile lawsuit after a former employee filed serious allegations against executive Lorna Hajdini. The complainant alleges a pattern of workplace misconduct, including harassment, intimidation, and abuse of authority over several months. The lawsuit claims that professional pressure and career-related leverage were used inappropriately. The case also includes allegations of racially insensitive remarks in the workplace. The bank has denied the claims, stating that an internal investigation found no evidence to support the allegations.

Donald Trump has said the United States is reviewing its military presence in Germany, raising the possibility of troop reductions amid rising tensions with Berlin. The statement comes after remarks by Friedrich Merz, who criticised the US approach to the Iran conflict and questioned Washington’s strategy. With more than 36,000 US troops currently stationed in Germany, any potential reduction could have major implications for European security and the broader NATO alliance.
