In some of the first widespread reforms announced since the crash, authorities said they will make new foundations or other adjustments for similar antennas at seven airports including Muan and Jeju International Airport - one of South Korea's busiest - that are either below ground level or easy to break.

Trump to End EV ‘Mandate.’ What That Means for Tesla Stock.
President Donald Trump vowed to eliminate the electric-vehicle mandate in his inaugural address, although strictly speaking, there is no mandate. “We will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke the electric-vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers,” said Trump in a speech from the Capitol.
