WEX Wakeup: Kim Jong Un and Putin meet; Newsom touts $267 million investment to fight retail theft

#wexwakeup for Thursday, September 14☕☀️

Russia intends to expand “military-technical cooperation” with North Korea despite United Nations sanctions on the regime, and dictator Kim Jong Un pledged to help Moscow achieve a “great victory” in the war in Ukraine.

The White House ripped House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) decision to direct three Republican committee chairmen to initiate an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family's business dealings.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is touting a $267 million investment to help officials in combating organized retail theft in the Golden State.
Newsom promoted the $267,118,293 recommended by the state to be awarded to 55 law enforcement agencies for fighting retail crime in California. The funds will be distributed to agencies on Oct. 1.
