What happened

Mamdani says he would ask King Charles to return Koh-i-Noor New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called for the return of the priceless Koh-i-Noor diamond from the UK, just hours before meeting King Charles.

Why it matters

The 105-carat diamond is part of the Crown Jewels but its ownership has been disputed by India, who claims that it was stolen during British rule.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and its accompanying strike group are expected to leave the Middle East.
