Five Eyes Warn of LinkedIn Spying; Trump Confirms G-7 Attendance
The US and Five Eyes intelligence allies issued a joint warning about Chinese espionage efforts targeting platforms like LinkedIn to recruit assets. President Trump confirmed attendance at the G-7 summit in France amid reported tensions with allies over the Iran conflict. Separately, German director Wim Wenders withdrew his 1975 film Wrong Move after acknowledging it contained footage of a then-13-year-old Nastassja Kinski topless.
