										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This report has been prepared by <strong>Maremont Real Estate</strong> to analyze the effects of current geopolitical developments in the Middle East on the Montenegro real estate market. As of 2026, the following details outline how regional conflicts have shaped global capital flows and the search for safe havens.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Safe Haven Effect:</strong> Escalating Iran-Israel tensions in the Middle East have prompted global investors to shift their capital to safer regions distant from conflict risks. Montenegro stands out as a &#8220;safe haven&#8221; during this process, bolstered by its NATO membership and EU candidacy status.</li>
<li><strong>Rising Demand and Price Trends:</strong> Regional instability has triggered a search for alternative markets, particularly among investors from Israel and neighboring countries. Since the second half of 2025, residential property prices in Montenegro have increased by approximately 20% annually, with average square meter prices reaching €2,200.</li>
<li><strong>Strategic Location and Investment:</strong> At Maremont Real Estate, we anticipate that demand for luxury housing in coastal areas such as Budva and Tivat will be sustained by capital inflows originating from the Middle East.</li>
<li><strong>Inflationary Pressures:</strong> The increase in energy costs triggered by the conflict is also driving up construction costs. This situation will lead to limited supply and the appreciation of existing portfolios.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Advantages of New Business Sectors and Economic Diversification in Montenegro</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Economic Resilience and Stability:</strong> The Montenegrin economy, traditionally dependent on tourism, is gaining resilience against seasonal fluctuations with the emergence of new sectors focused on IT, renewable energy, and technology. This diversification creates year-round rental and purchase demand in the real estate market.</li>
<li><strong>Skilled Migration and &#8220;White-Collar&#8221; Demand:</strong> New ventures in the technology and finance sectors are attracting high-income international professionals. This directly increases demand for the luxury housing segment and modern office spaces, supporting steady growth in property values.</li>
<li><strong>Rental Yield and ROI Increase:</strong> The growth of the business world, alongside the increase in the Digital Nomad and expat population, maximizes long-term rental potential. According to Maremont Real Estate data, the rising demand for commercial spaces and residential-type housing significantly shortens the Return on Investment (ROI) period.</li>
<li><strong>Infrastructure and Urban Development:</strong> The establishment of new industrial and technology zones necessitates the development of surrounding infrastructure. This brings undiscovered regions into the investment radar, offering investors high premium potential with low entry costs.</li>
<li><strong>Tax Advantages and Investment Facilitation:</strong> Montenegro’s low corporate tax and investor-friendly policies encourage the establishment of new business lines, while also allowing business owners to secure residency rights through real estate investment.</li>
</ol>
<p>At <strong><a href="https://maremontrealestate.blogspot.com/">Maremont</a> Real Estate</strong>, we observe that this new business ecosystem is transforming real estate from a mere shelter into a high-yield commercial instrument.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="107" data-end="436">Military operations that began on February 28, 2026, and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz have caused global oil markets to experience one of the largest supply shocks in history. As of March 2026, the price of Brent crude has increased by more than 50% from its pre-war level of $72, approaching the $110 threshold.</p>
<p data-start="438" data-end="530">A 10-point assessment analyzing this critical period in global energy markets is as follows:</p>
<p data-start="532" data-end="788"><strong data-start="532" data-end="584">Supply Security and the Strait of Hormuz Crisis:</strong> The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, through which approximately 20% of global oil supply passes, has brought nearly 20 million barrels per day of oil and petroleum products flows to a near halt.</p>
<p data-start="790" data-end="956"><strong data-start="790" data-end="832">Price Volatility and Record Increases:</strong> Brent crude tested the $119.50 level during March as the conflict intensified, reaching the highest levels in recent years.</p>
<p data-start="958" data-end="1197"><strong data-start="958" data-end="995">Activation of Strategic Reserves:</strong> In order to close the supply gap, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced the largest intervention in its history, releasing 400 million barrels of strategic petroleum reserves into the market.</p>
<p data-start="1199" data-end="1428"><strong data-start="1199" data-end="1229">OPEC+ Production Policies:</strong> While total regional production is estimated to have declined by around 10 million barrels per day due to the war in Iran, the OPEC+ group is evaluating production increases to stabilize the market.</p>
<p data-start="1430" data-end="1636"><strong data-start="1430" data-end="1469">Loss of Iran’s Production Capacity:</strong> Iran’s oil facilities, with a production capacity exceeding 3.3 million barrels per day, being targeted poses a risk of making the physical supply shortage permanent.</p>
<p data-start="1638" data-end="1831"><strong data-start="1638" data-end="1671">Global Inflationary Pressure:</strong> This sharp increase in energy costs is expected to add at least 0.8% directly to global inflation and complicate central banks&#8217; interest rate easing processes.</p>
<p data-start="1833" data-end="2024"><strong data-start="1833" data-end="1871">Crisis in Refined Product Markets:</strong> Price increases in refined products such as diesel, jet fuel, and fuel oil have surpassed crude oil price increases due to disruptions in supply chains.</p>
<p data-start="2026" data-end="2255"><strong data-start="2026" data-end="2062">Energy Deficit in Asian Markets:</strong> Since 75% of the oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz goes to Asian countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, this region faces the risk of industrial production disruptions.</p>
<p data-start="2257" data-end="2444"><strong data-start="2257" data-end="2293">LNG and Natural Gas Interaction:</strong> With Qatar suspending production and the closure of the strait, LNG prices have increased by 60%, turning the oil crisis into a broader energy crisis.</p>
<p data-start="2446" data-end="2615"><strong data-start="2446" data-end="2494">Geopolitical Uncertainty and Future Outlook:</strong> Market analysts warn that oil prices could rise to as high as $200 per barrel depending on the duration of the conflict.</p>
<p data-start="2622" data-end="2866">The OPEC+ group, at its ministerial meeting held on March 1, 2026, decided to increase production as of April 2026 in order to maintain the global supply-demand balance and mitigate the impact of geopolitical risks in the Middle East on prices.</p>
<p data-start="2868" data-end="2950">The new production quotas and strategic details set for April 2026 are as follows:</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1enw931" data-start="2952" data-end="2992">Production Increase and Target Levels</h2>
<p data-start="2994" data-end="3269">The group has decided to end the “production freeze” period of the first quarter of 2026 and provide an additional 206,000 barrels per day starting from April. This increase is part of the gradual rollback of the 1.65 million barrels per day voluntary cuts announced in 2023.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been four years since coronavirus infections began burdening people with persistent symptoms that were often ignored by medical providers.</p>
<p>A mild covid infection at the beginning of the pandemic upset Jeanine Hays&#8217; immune system, she said, flagging ailments like the way her husband&#8217;s drug ads list side effects.</p>
<p>Chronic hives. Hair loss. Tinnitus. Severe nerve pain. Extreme fluctuations in blood pressure. Allergic reactions to synthetic fabrics and processed foods.</p>
<p>The couple keeps an air purifier and EpiPen in every room of their home; They both travel together. And Hays always carries an extra suit of clothes in case what he&#8217;s wearing becomes unbearably itchy. “I definitely still feel like a toddler that way,” she said.</p>
<p>“Bryan and I are learning to live with long Covid,” the 45-year-old said of his high school sweetheart turned husband. &#8220;Our lifestyle is very different.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been four years since Covid began burdening people with persistent symptoms that were often dismissed by mysterious medical providers who were suspicious and unwilling to help, according to clinicians and public health researchers — especially when treating patients of color.</p>
<p>For patients of color, this is an all-too-familiar and maddening story.</p>
<p>Health experts and medical studies have found that racist myths that black people are more resistant to pain, combined with doctors&#8217; biases, mean black patients are more likely to be seen as drug addicts and described negatively in electronic medical records. This is true when it comes to routine diagnoses, and clinicians and public health researchers believe the same is true of long covid, although its definition is largely a work in progress.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s bad enough for patients of color to cope with a debilitating disease, they said. They said it was even more devastating to feel like they were being erased from medical records, public imaginations and policy considerations. In many cases, people aren&#8217;t even formally diagnosed, meaning they&#8217;re suffering and can&#8217;t get help, researchers say.</p>
<p>Estimates of the prevalence of long covid vary widely. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that nearly 1 in 14 adults say they will experience long-haul covid in 2022.</p>
<p>While the coronavirus took its toll on diverse communities, especially at the dawn of the pandemic, research has suggested that the misery of long covid is falling more evenly across diverse communities. A 2023 analysis of nearly 5 million U.S. patients by The Washington Post and research partners found virtually no difference in the percentages of Black, White and Hispanic patients seeking medical care for long covid-related symptoms within months of being infected couldn&#8217;t find it.</p>
<p>But public health experts warn those numbers almost certainly don&#8217;t tell the whole story. The data, they warned, can tell a lot about who their provider trusts, who can shop until they are taken seriously, and who has the language to describe their symptoms to medical staff.</p>
<p>“All of these things were happening in people&#8217;s bodies, but they hadn&#8217;t heard the term &#8216;long coronavirus&#8217; from a doctor,” said Linda Sprague Martinez, a professor and health equity researcher who has studied the impact of long coronavirus on Black and Latino communities in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>As part of its research, Sprague Martinez&#8217;s team conducted 11 focus groups last year: two in English and nine in total in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and Cape Verdean Creole. According to her, in focus groups conducted in languages ​​other than English, it turned out that most people had not heard of long Covid until that day. The main reason, she says: a lack of health information in languages ​​other than English, as well as language barriers in health care settings and on the Internet.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>KANSAS CITY METRO SURPASSES 250K CASES SINCE PANDEMIC’S START</strong></p>
<p>As the average of new COVID-19 cases reached a record high on Tuesday, the region has now seen more than a quarter of a million total cases since the pandemic began.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the seven-day average hit 2,100 per day, according to data maintained by The Star. Officials in the area — which includes Kansas City and Jackson, Platte, Clay, Wyandotte and Johnson counties — have reported 14,839 new cases within the past week, bringing the full tally to 252,126 since the start of the public health crisis.</p>
<p>Forty more people have also died within the past week, The Star reported. The death toll for the area currently stands at 3,429.</p>
<p><strong>CHILDREN’S MERCY SEES NEW HIGH OF COVID-19 PATIENTS</strong></p>
<p>Children’s Mercy reported that 27 kids were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Tuesday, the highest child patient load the hospital has seen since the start of the pandemic.</p>
<p>Cases across the area and the nation have been largely driven by the omicron variant. Dr. Angela Myers, the Infectious Diseases Division director at Children’s Mercy, said that because of how highly contagious omicron is, more people overall will become hospitalized “even if it causes less severe disease overall.”</p>
<p>Medical experts recommend eligible children get the vaccine to prevent getting COVID-19. Children under 12 are still ineligible for a booster shot, while those younger than 5 currently can’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 at all. For this reason, Myers recommends a variety of safety measures to keep kids from being infected.</p>
<p>“Encouraging your kid to wear a mask, even if it’s not required in school, I think is really critical,” she said. “[So is] washing your hands frequently, sneezing and coughing in your elbow, staying home when you’re sick, [and] getting tested if you have symptoms, even if your symptoms are mild.” (The Kansas City Star)</p>

Anlaufende Studien zeigen allerdings erste gute Ergebnisse ohne negative Auswirkungen. Fakt ist: Wer plant schwanger zu werden, sollte einen eventuellen Impftermin wahrnehmen.</p>
<p>Werdende Mütter müssen vor Corona geschützt werden! Während man zu Beginn der Pandemie noch angenommen hatte, dass Schwangere von COVID-19 nicht schwerer betroffen sind als andere Personengruppen, sehen Ärzte dies mittlerweile anders. „Nach aktuellem Kenntnisstand sind schwere Verlaufsformen, die zu einer stationären Aufnahme oder intensivmedizinischen Versorgung führen, im Vergleich zu Nicht-Schwangeren um etwa das Zweifache erhöht. Das entspricht ungefähr den Werten, die man von der Influenza kennt“, berichtet Dr. Petra Pateisky, Fachärztin an der Abteilung für Geburtshilfe und feto-maternale Medizin an der Universitätsklinik für Frauenheilkunde, MedUni Wien, im Rahmen einer digitalen Pressekonferenz. „In der Schwangerschaft könnte die Erkrankung auch mit einer erhöhten Wahrscheinlichkeit von Präeklampsie (einer speziellen Form von Bluthochdruck, Anm.) einhergehen“, so die Gynäkologin. Laut Studien ist außerdem das Gesamtrisiko für eine Frühgeburt um das Dreifache erhöht.</p>
<p>Um möglichst sicher vor Corona zu sein, sollte &#8211; abseits der ansonsten geltenden Maßnahmen &#8211; auf jeden Fall das Umfeld (Partner, eventuell zukünftige Großeltern) geimpft werden, was derzeit auch durchgeführt wird. Dr. Pateisky: „Die Impfung von Schwangeren selbst ist grundsätzlich möglich, allerdings außerhalb der Zulassung aller bisher verfügbaren Impfstoffe.“ Da es bei Zulassungsstudien aber unter Probandinnen zu einigen Schwangerschaften gekommen ist, weiß man bisher von keinen negativen Auswirkungen. Registerdaten von Impfungen aus den USA mit bereits mehreren tausend “werdenden Müttern“ zeigen ebenfalls keine Sicherheitsrisiken, auch wurde bereits mit entsprechenden offiziellen Studien begonnen. Im Einzellfall muss die Impfententscheidung natürlich immer mit dem behandelnden Gynäkologen besprochen werden. (Kronen Zeitung)</p>

					<description><![CDATA[After building artificial islands, China is using large fleets of ostensibly civilian boats to press other countries’ vessels out of disputed waters.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chinese ships settled in like unwanted guests who wouldn’t leave.</p>
<p>As the days passed, more appeared. They were simply fishing boats, China said, though they did not appear to be fishing. Dozens even lashed themselves together in neat rows, seeking shelter, it was claimed, from storms that never came.</p>
<p>Not long ago, China asserted its claims on the South China Sea by building and fortifying artificial islands in waters also claimed by Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Its strategy now is to reinforce those outposts by swarming the disputed waters with vessels, effectively defying the other countries to expel them.</p>
<p>The goal is to accomplish by overwhelming presence what it has been unable to do through diplomacy or international law. And to an extent, it appears to be working.</p>
<p>“Beijing pretty clearly thinks that if it uses enough coercion and pressure over a long enough period of time, it will squeeze the Southeast Asians out,” said Greg Poling, the director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, which tracks developments in the South China Sea. “It’s insidious.”</p>
<p>China’s actions reflect the country’s growing confidence under its leader, Xi Jinping. They could test the Biden administration, as well as Beijing’s neighbors in the South China Sea, who are increasingly dependent on China’s strong economy and supply of Covid-19 vaccines.</p>
<p>The latest incident has unfolded in recent weeks around Whitsun Reef, a boomerang-shaped feature that emerges above water only at low tide. At one point in March, 220 Chinese ships were reported to be anchored around the reef, prompting protests from Vietnam and the Philippines, which both have claims there, and from the United States.</p>
<p>The Philippine defense secretary, Delfin Lorenzana, called their presence “a clear provocation.” Vietnam’s foreign ministry accused China of violating the country’s sovereignty and demanded that the ships leave.</p>
<p>By this past week, some had left but many remained, according to satellite photographs taken by Maxar Technologies, a company based in Colorado. Others moved to another reef only a few miles away, while a new swarm of 45 Chinese ships was spotted 100 miles northeast at another island controlled by the Philippines, Thitu, according to the satellite photos and Philippine officials.</p>
<p>“The Chinese ambassador has a lot of explaining to do,” Mr. Lorenzana said in a statement on Saturday.</p>
<p>The buildup has inflamed tensions in a region that, along with Taiwan, threatens to become another flashpoint in the intensifying confrontation between China and the United States.</p>
<p>Although the United States has not taken a position on disputes in the South China Sea, it has criticized China’s aggressive tactics there, including the militarization of its bases. For years, the United States has sent Navy warships on routine patrols to challenge China’s asserted right to restrict any military activity there — three times just since President Biden took office in January.</p>
<p>Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken expressed support for the Philippines over the presence of the Chinese vessels. “We will always stand by our allies and stand up for the rules-based international order,” he wrote on Twitter.</p>
<p>The buildup has highlighted the further erosion of the Philippines’ control of the disputed waters, which could become a problem for the country’s president, Rodrigo Duterte.</p>
<p>The country’s defense department dispatched two aircraft and one ship to Whitsun Reef to document the buildup but did not otherwise intervene. It is not known whether Vietnamese forces responded.</p>
<p>Critics say China’s disregard for the Philippine claims reflects the failure of Mr. Duterte’s efforts to cozy up to the Communist Party leadership in Beijing.</p>
<p>“People need to hear from the commander in chief himself, a coward to China but a bully to his own people,” said Mr. Duterte’s staunchest political opponent, Senator Leila de Lima. Mr. Duterte has not publicly addressed the matter, though his spokesman suggested that quiet efforts to defuse the situation were underway.</p>
<p>China has brushed off the protests. A spokeswoman for the foreign ministry, Hua Chunying, said that Chinese fishermen “have been fishing in the waters near the reef all along.” Officials in the Philippines and experts said there was no evidence of that.</p>
<p>Whitsun Reef is part of an atoll known as Union Banks, about 175 nautical miles from Palawan, a Philippine island. The Philippines, China and Vietnam each claim that the atoll lies within their country’s exclusive economic zones, but only China and Vietnam have established a regular physical presence there, giving each a secure, if not legal, advantage in asserting control.</p>
<p>Vietnam has occupied four islets in the atoll since the 1970s, while China has built two outposts on previously submerged reefs as part of its program, underway since 2014, to dredge up seven artificial islands. Two of the outposts — Grierson Reef, occupied by Vietnam, and Hughes Reef, occupied by China — are less than three nautical miles apart.</p>
<p>An international tribunal convened under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ruled in 2016 that China’s expansive claim to almost all of the South China Sea had no legal basis, though it stopped short of dividing the territory among its various claimants. China has based its claims on a “nine-dash line” drawn on maps before the establishment of the People’s Republic of <a href="https://maremontrealestate.blogspot.com/">China</a> in 1949.

					<description><![CDATA[The authorization of a third Covid-19 vaccine will bring millions of more doses within days.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The authorization of a third Covid-19 vaccine will bring millions of more doses within days. But health officials worry that some people will see the vaccine as an inferior choice.</p>
<p>WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday authorized Johnson &amp; Johnson’s single-shot Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use, beginning the rollout of millions of doses of a third effective vaccine that could reach Americans by early next week.</p>
<p>The announcement arrived at a critical moment, as the steep decline in coronavirus cases seems to have plateaued and millions of Americans are on waiting lists for shots.</p>
<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson has pledged to provide the United States with 100 million doses by the end of June. When combined with the 600 million doses from the two-shot vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna slated to arrive by the end of July, there will be more than enough shots to cover any American adult who wants one.</p>
<p>But federal and state health officials are concerned that even with strong data to support it, some people may perceive Johnson &amp; Johnson’s shot as an inferior option.</p>
<p>The new vaccine’s 72 percent efficacy rate in the U.S. clinical trial site — a number scientists have celebrated — falls short of the roughly 95 percent rate found in studies testing the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines. Across all trial sites, the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine also showed 85 percent efficacy against severe forms of Covid-19 and 100 percent efficacy against hospitalization and death.</p>
<p>“Don’t get caught up, necessarily, on the number game, because it’s a really good vaccine, and what we need is as many good vaccines as possible,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said in an interview on Saturday. “Rather than parsing the difference between 94 and 72, accept the fact that now you have three highly effective vaccines. Period.”</p>
<p>If Johnson &amp; Johnson’s vaccine would have been the first to be authorized in the United States instead of the third, “everybody would be doing handstands and backflips and high-fives,” said Dr. James T. McDeavitt, dean of clinical affairs at the Baylor College of Medicine.</p>
<p>On Sunday a committee of vaccine experts who advise the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will meet to discuss whether certain population groups should be prioritized for the vaccine, guidance that state health officials have been eagerly awaiting in anticipation of the F.D.A.’s authorization.</p>
<p>One administration official familiar with the distribution of the vaccine said that shipments would begin on Monday and deliveries could arrive as soon as Tuesday.</p>
<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson has said it will ship nearly four million doses as soon as the F.D.A. authorizes distribution and another 16 million or so doses by the end of March. That is far fewer than the 37 million doses called for in its $1 billion federal contracts, but the contract says that deliveries that are 30 days late will still be considered timely.</p>
<p>The federal government is paying the firm $10 a dose for a total of 100 million doses to be ready by the end of June, substantially less per dose than it agreed to pay Moderna and Pfizer, which developed its vaccine with a German partner, BioNTech.</p>
<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson’s one-dose vaccine will allow states to rapidly increase the number of people who have been fully inoculated. Unlike the other two vaccines, they can be stored at standard refrigeration temperatures for at least three months.</p>
<p>Dr. Danny Avula, the vaccine coordinator for <a href="https://maremontrealestate.blogspot.com/">Virginia</a>, said the Johnson &amp; Johnson shipments would boost the state’s allotment of vaccine next week by nearly one-fifth.</p>
<p>“I’m super-pumped about this,” he said. “A hundred percent efficacy against deaths and hospitalizations? That’s all I need to hear.”</p>
<p>He said the state was planning mass vaccination events specifically for the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine, partly to quell any suspicion that it is a lesser product targeted to specific groups.</p>
<p>“It will be super clear that this is Johnson &amp; Johnson, here’s what you need to know about it. If you want to do this, you’re coming in with eyes wide open,” he said. “If not, you will keep your place on the list.” (The New York Times)</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly riot at the Capitol.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday explicitly blamed President Donald Trump for the deadly riot at the Capitol, saying the mob was “fed lies” and that the president and others “provoked” that intent on overturning Democrat Joe Biden’s election.</p>
<p>Ahead of Trump&#8217;s historic second impeachment trial, McConnell&#8217;s remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing president. The GOP leader is setting a tone as Republicans weigh whether to convict Trump on the impeachment charge that will soon be sent over from the House: “incitement of insurrection.”</p>
<p>“The mob was fed lies,&#8221; McConnell said. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”</p>
<p>The Republican leader vowed a “safe and successful” inauguration of Biden on Wednesday at the Capitol, where final preparations were underway amid heavy security.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s last full day in office Tuesday was also senators’ first day back since the deadly Capitol siege and since the House voted to impeach him for his role in the riots — an unparalleled time of transition as the Senate prepares for the second impeachment trial in two years and presses ahead with the confirmation of Biden&#8217;s Cabinet.</p>
<p>Three new Democratic senators-elect are set to be sworn into office Wednesday shortly after Biden&#8217;s inauguration, giving the Democrats the barest majority, a 50-50 Senate chamber. The new vice president, Kamala Harris, will swear them in and serve as an eventual tie-breaking vote.</p>
<p>The Democrats, led by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, will take charge of the Senate as they launch a trial to hold the defeated president responsible for the siege, while also quickly confirming Biden’s Cabinet and being asked to consider the passage of a sweeping new $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill.</p>
<p>“The inauguration of a new president and the start of a new administration always brings a flurry of activity to our nation’s government,” Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday morning. “But rarely has so much piled up for the Senate as during this particular transition.”</p>
<p>Making the case for Trump&#8217;s conviction, Schumer said the Senate needs to set a precedent that the “severest offense ever committed by a president would be met by the severest remedy provided by the Constitution — impeachment,” and disbarment from future office.</p>
<p>McConnell and Schumer conferred later Tuesday about how to organize the evenly divided chamber and how to balance the trial with other businesses. Leaving a meeting with the Republican leader, Schumer would only say the two had &#8220;discussed a whole lot of issues.”</p>
<p>Similarly, McConnell told reporters the two had a “good meeting” but offered no details.</p>
<p>Five of Biden&#8217;s nominees had committee hearings Tuesday as the Senate prepared for swift confirmation of some as soon as the president-elect takes office, as is often done particularly for the White House’s national security team. Many noted the harrowing events at the Capitol on Jan. 6.</p>
<p>Biden’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, vowed to get to the bottom of the “horrifying” siege. The nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, testified of her own “eerie” feeling coming to the Capitol complex after “how truly disturbing it was” to see the attack on the building unfold.</p>
<p>The start of the new session of Congress was also forcing lawmakers to come to terms with the post-Trump era, a transfer of power that Trump’s mob of supporters tried to prevent after he urged them to storm the Capitol as Congress was tallying the Electoral College vote confirming Biden’s election.</p>
<p>Seven Republican senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tried to overturn Biden’s election during the Electoral College tally. Cruz was presiding over the Senate Tuesday while McConnell delivered his blistering remarks.</p>
<p>Republican senators, in particular, face a daunting choice of whether to convict Trump of inciting the insurrection, the first impeachment trial of a president no longer in office — but one who continues to hold great sway over the party&#8217;s voters.</p>
<p>Some Republicans want to halt the impeachment trial. Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn was among those Republicans casting doubt on the legal ability of the Senate to convict a president no longer in office, though legal scholars differ on the issue.</p>
<p>“It’s never happened before and maybe that’s for a good reason,” he said.</p>
<p>The House impeached Trump last week on the sole charge, incitement of insurrection, making him the only president to be twice impeached. A protester died during the riot and a police officer died later of injuries; three other people involved died of medical emergencies. He was first impeached in 2019 over relations with Ukraine and was acquitted in 2020 by the Senate.</p>
<p>The three new Democratic senators, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia, and Alex Padilla of California, are to be sworn into office Wednesday, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss planning.</p>
<p>Warnock and Ossoff defeated Republican incumbents in this month&#8217;s runoff elections. Georgia&#8217;s secretary of state certified the election results Tuesday. Padilla was tapped by California&#8217;s governor to fill the remainder of Harris&#8217; Senate term.</p>
