He is expected to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president held next week. During the campaign, the new president of Honduras publicly promised to restore diplomatic ties with Taiwan if elected.
In response, the Office of President stated that the relevant reports are currently pure speculation, and if the visit is confirmed, they will inform the public at an appropriate time.

第三則：處決行動喊卡！川普拒絕排除動武觀望伊朗動盪

Managers must stay within legal boundaries when exercising management power to avoid committing workplace bullying and causing the company to take responsibility. Experts outlined seven key guidelines.
The key points include avoiding verbal and physical aggression, exercising management power reasonably, taking part in training programs, reporting suspected bullying early, keeping information confidential and handling cases fairly, adjusting job duties when needed to protect the people involved, and starting formal procedures and seeking legal help when a manager is the one being reported.
