The mandates, Ford said, are hurting the country’s auto sector and pushing jobs and investments into the United States.

NEW YORK (AP) — The game-changing K-pop boy band BTS has returned after a nearly four-year musical hiatus. “ARIRANG,” the 14-track, fifth studio album from the septet — RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook and j-hope — is here.

That’s evident from the jump: The first half pulls largely…
