A grim day for business and infrastructure news is being shaped by deadly transport and disaster events with potentially wide economic repercussions. In Saudi Arabia, a helicopter operated by Aramco crashed at the key energy hub of Ras Tanura, killing all 14 people on board and prompting an investigation at one of the region’s most strategically important oil sites. In France, a parachutist plane went down near Tomblaine, killing 11, as authorities opened a technical inquiry. Beyond the immediate human toll, Venezuela’s twin earthquakes are raising fears of a far larger catastrophe, with 33 people rescued but thousands still unaccounted for and damage likely to strain an already fragile economy. In Washington, President Trump has moved to nominate former Oklahoma trooper Lance Schroyer to lead ICE, while in Britain Defence Secretary Jarvis says talks with the Treasury are making “real progress” on a new spending plan.
