Gucci unveils a new GG Marmont design
First introduced in 1970s with the archival Double G logo, the GG Marmont bag has since established itself as a signature style of Gucci with two capital letters of the style's name recognisable by the partial overlapping hardware on the handbag's front.
This design is a homage to the initials of founder Guccio Gucci, as well as the family's tradition of giving the eldest child a name that starts with 'G'.

This year, the House updates the design of the GG Marmont handbag, crafting it with soft leather and adding a slender pocket on the back of the medium and larger silhouettes, alongside emblematic hardware and a sliding chain handle polished in gold or silver finishes.

Millions of acres of public land sales slated for US tax Bill
[WASHINGTON] The sale of millions of acres of federal land would provide billions of dollars to help pay for President Donald Trump's massive package of tax cuts and spending in the Senate's version of the Bill released on Wednesday (Jun 11) night. As much as around 1.2 million hectares of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service would be mandated for sale in the legislation. The measure, requiring each agency to sell a small percentage of the hundreds of millions of acres of land they manage in eligible states that include Alaska as well as western states, could raise as much as US$10 billion over 10 years, according to a fact sheet. The plan is part of a broader effort to generate as much as US$29 billion through a combination of expanded oil, gas, coal and geothermal lease sales, and new timber sales made public in the legislation unveiled by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Similar energy requirements, included new energy lease sales in the coastal plain of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, were included in the House version of the bill, which passed by a one-vote margin last month. The sale of public lands to help pay for the legislation has been a political lightning rod. A plan to sell about 500,000 acres of federal land in Utah and Nevada was stripped by the House version of the Bill amid opposition from Republicans such as Montana Representative Ryan Zinke. The concept of public land sales has also enraged environmental and conservation groups, who say the proposal threatens wildlife as well as access to lands for outdoor recreation, hunters and fisherman. 'It's a travesty that Senate Republicans are putting more than 3 million acres of our beloved public lands on the chopping block to sell at fire-sale prices to build mega mansions for the ultra-rich,' said Patrick Donnelly, a director at the Center for Biological Diversity. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Tuesday, 12 pm Property Insights Get an exclusive analysis of real estate and property news in Singapore and beyond. Sign Up Sign Up Republicans have said the sales are needed to provide cheap land to help address a housing crisis, and to help western states, where the government owns large swaths of federal land, to restore the areas to economic production and associated tax revenue. 'This proposal allows a fraction of 1 per cent of federal land to be used to build houses,' the Senate energy committee said in the fact sheet. 'In doing so, it will create thousands of jobs, allow millions of Americans to realise the American dream, and reduce the deficit and fund our public lands.' The Senate bill aligns with a Trump administration plan to identify areas of 'underutilised' land suitable for development. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Wednesday the agency had identified some 250,000 acres near cities where development could lower the cost of housing. But New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich, the panel's top Democrat, said the idea was deeply unpopular in the West with 'animosity that runs the entire political spectrum.' 'These are places that belong to all of us,' Heinrich said in an interview Thursday. 'Once this stuff gets sold off to developers, we'll never get it back. It will be behind a no trespassing sign.'

Musk says some of his posts about Trump ‘went too far'
[WASHINGTON] Billionaire businessman Elon Musk said on Wednesday (Jun 11) he regretted some of the posts he made last week about US President Donald Trump as they had gone 'too far'. Trump said on Saturday his relationship with Musk was over after they exchanged insults on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president's sweeping tax and spending Bill as a 'disgusting abomination.' Musk has since deleted some posts critical of Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president, and sources close to the world's richest man say his anger has started to subside and he may want to repair the relationship. 'I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,' Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X on Wednesday, without saying which specific posts he was talking about. Tesla shares in Frankfurt rose 2.7 per cent after Musk's post. Musk bankrolled a large part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, spending nearly US$300 million in last year's US elections and taking credit for Republicans retaining a majority of seats in the House and retaking a majority in the Senate.

Sign Up Sign Up Trump then named him to head an effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. Musk left the role late last month after criticising Trump's marquee tax Bill, calling it too expensive and a measure that would undermine his work at the Department of government Efficiency. Declaring their relationship over on Saturday, Trump said there would be 'serious consequences' if Musk decided to fund US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Trump also said he had no intention of repairing ties with Musk. On Monday, Trump said he would not have a problem if Musk called and that he had no plans to discontinue the Starlink satellite Internet provided to the White House by Musk's SpaceX but might move his Tesla off-site. 'We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well,' Trump said. Musk responded with a heart emoji to a video on X showing Trump's remarks. REUTERS

Pentagon chief vows to honour Aukus nuclear-powered sub deal
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth testifying before House members at the US Capitol on June 10. PHOTO: AFP WASHINGTON - Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth sought on June 10 to reassure lawmakers over the US pledge to supply Australia with a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, amid growing concern that production is not rolling out quickly enough to meet the commitment. Under the Aukus deal signed to great fanfare in 2021, Washington, London and Canberra are cooperating on the joint development of cyber warfare tools, artificial intelligence and hypersonic missiles. The agreement commits the US to building cutting-edge submarines for Australia, an investment with an estimated cost of up to US$235 billion (S$300 billion) over 30 years. Australia plans to acquire at least three Virginia Class submarines from the US within the next 15 years, eventually manufacturing its own nuclear-powered subs. The US navy has 24 Virginia-class vessels, which can carry cruise missiles, but American shipyards are struggling to meet production targets set at two new boats each year. Critics question why the US would sell nuclear-powered submarines to Australia without stocking its own military first. Questioned by members of the US House of Representatives, Mr Hegseth said his team was talking 'every day' to US shipbuilders Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls to ensure that 'their needs not only are being met, but their shortfalls are being addressed.' The former Fox News host, one of President Donald Trump's most divisive Cabinet appointments, acknowledged a 'gap' between current supply and future demand, but added that submarine building is 'crucial' to US security. He blamed Mr Trump's Democratic predecessor, Mr Joe Biden, for having 'neglected' the industrial base for submarine construction. While the stealthy Virginia class is an attack and intelligence gathering submarine designed for a wide range of missions, the Columbia class is a ballistic missile carrier built for nuclear deterrence that will be the largest submarine ever built by the US. Democrat Rosa DeLauro – whose home state of Connecticut builds Navy submarines – berated Mr Hegseth over the Pentagon's decision to move US$3.1 billion earmarked in 2026 for Columbia-class construction to 2027 and 2028. 'Is that going to raise alarm bells across the defence industrial base by signlaling a lack of commitment to the programme?' she asked. Mr Hegseth committed to the 'on-time' delivery of the vessels.
