A Democrat running for governor in Florida was forced to fix her financial disclosures for a second time after initially underreporting her income, notably money earned from her pot-lobbying business.

Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, who is engaged to a former CEO of one of the largest medical marijuana companies in the U.S., needed to add $351,480 of income to her financial disclosure on May 28 after declaring her gubernatorial intention Tuesday,

 

The Florida agriculture commissioner's ties to pot lobbying, support for legalized marijuana, and engagement to a former pot CEO are all concerning conflicts of interest in their own right.

But the altered financial disclosure just four days before her announcement to run for governor adds to skepticism.

Big pothole opens up in Chinas belt and road

China and Pakistan are looking to bolster their strategic partnership in Afghanistan, where the withdrawal of U.S. troops after two decades of warfare is set to bring along new opportunities and uncertainties, among them the question of a common foe that the United States says does not exist.

 

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistani Foreign Minister Mahmoud Shah Qureshi presided Thursday over the fourth trilateral dialogue between their countries and Afghanistan, a mutual neighbor where conflict has raged between a U.S. and NATO-backed government and the Taliban movement.

 

This year's annual meeting, hosted by China, is the first since President Joe Biden announced earlier this year that U.S. troops would leave the country by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that prompted the U.S. intervention against Al-Qaeda, then the Taliban's partner in Afghanistan. The exit is based upon a fragile peace deal between the U.S. and the Taliban, and is proceeding despite lingering violence that Beijing seeks to address, working with Islamabad and Kabul.
