Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in New York City on Monday, walking into Trump Tower ahead of his historic arraignment on Tuesday to face charges stemming from a probe into hush money paid to a porn star before the 2016 election.

Security was high outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump is likely to be fingerprinted and photographed Tuesday afternoon.

At a news conference, New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned protesters to behave themselves or face the consequences.

“While there may be some rabble rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple: control yourselves. New York City is our home not a playground for your misplaced anger.” (flash)

“As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind and if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable, no matter who you are.”

Trump left his Florida home midday Monday to cheering supporters as his motorcade drove by to take him to his private plane at the airport which flew him to New York.

The Republican who is seeking to regain the presidency in 2024, is the first sitting or former U.S. president to face criminal charges.

A grand jury voted to indict him last week.

Trump was due to surrender at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday before appearing before a judge where he is expected to plead not guilty. The specific charges have yet to be disclosed.

Trump has said he is innocent and his allies have portrayed the charges as politically motivated. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, who is leading the prosecution, is a Democrat.

Former New York state deputy attorney general Danya Perry explains what will likely happen inside the courtroom.

“Mr. Trump will be brought to the courthouse on the 15th floor of the criminal court in Manhattan, and he will appear in front of a judge who will then tell him what the charges are against him, ask him how he pleads and will set, in this case, there will certainly be no bail. And so he will release the former president on his own recognizance and will set some schedule for the next court appearance and potentially for discovery and for motion practice. And that’s fairly typical. Of course, in some ways, this is a first of its kind. There will be a Secret Service detail. There will be a lot of security and law enforcement presence to make sure that there is no violence and no disruptions.”

Trump is expected to fly back to Florida after Tuesday’s arraignment and deliver primetime remarks at his Mar-A-Lago estate. #trending #featured

AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.

The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.

Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.

Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.

These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.

Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.

Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.

Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.

AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
