NEW YORK (AP) — Despite wider economic uncertainty hovering above this year’s holiday season, shoppers turned out in big numbers for Black Friday — spending billions of dollars both in stores and online. Adobe Analytics, which tracks e-commerce, said U.S. consumers spent a record $11.8 billion online Friday, marking a 9.1% jump from last year. Consumers also spent a record $6.4 billion online on Thanksgiving Day, per Adobe. In-store traffic has continued to dwindle. Initial data from RetailNext, which measures real-time foot traffic in physical stores, found that in-store Black Friday traffic fell 3.6% from 2024 — but that’s notably better than a decline of 6.2% seen in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Venezuelan government is accusing President Donald Trump of making a ”colonial threat” and seeking to undermine the South American country’s sovereignty. That charge comes after Trump’s social media post Saturday that the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela should be considered as “closed in its entirety.” His assertion raises more questions about the U.S. pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The White House isn’t responding to questions about what Trump meant by his post. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry says “such declarations constitute a hostile, unilateral and arbitrary act.” The Federal Aviation Administration’s jurisdiction is generally limited to the United States and its territories.

Police called off their chase shortly after that but picked it up again when the driver got off the highway and crashed his vehicle in the eleven-hundred block of West Chestnut Street near Washington Medical. The supervisor says the car then caught fire. There were no reported injuries, but the man was taken to the hospital for a blood draw.

State Police are investigating after a man became trapped beneath the tire of his vehicle and later died. A PSP spokesperson says Troopers responded to a Uniontown home Friday for a report of a man who had been run over and was trapped beneath a wheel. The investigation so far determines the man pulled into the driveway of his home, then got out of the vehicle without it being in park. As he got out, the vehicle drifted backward down the driveway, and the open driver-side door pulled him to the ground, where he became pinned under the front tire. Before emergency responders got on scene, the man’s family and passersby were able to free him from beneath the tire. Medics took him to an area hospital, where he later died of his injuries. His identity has not yet been released.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Ukraine has used Sea Baby naval drones to strike two Russian oil tankers in the Black Sea. An official from Ukraine’s security services told The Associated Press about the attack on Saturday. The tankers, Kairos and Virat, are part of Russia’s “shadow fleet,” which evades sanctions. The strikes occurred off Turkey’s Black Sea coast late Friday afternoon. Rescue operations by the Turkish coast guard ensured the safety of all crew members. The official said the drones disabled vessels capable of transporting oil worth almost $70 million. The strikes hinder Russia’s efforts to bypass international sanctions.
