IBM

IBM, a multinational technology corporation, is in the news for several reasons. The company is mentioned in the context of Iranian threats against US companies in the Middle East, alongside other tech giants like Google, Apple, and Microsoft. These threats are reportedly in retaliation for attacks against Iran. IBM was also involved in a UK government project to simplify post-Brexit trade border processes, contracted with Deloitte, which has now been shelved after £110 million was spent. Gary Cohn, IBM's vice chairman and former Trump advisor, commented on Greenland's status. Furthermore, an UpScrolled app founder previously worked at IBM. These events highlight IBM's continued relevance in global politics, trade, and the tech industry, particularly in areas of security and infrastructure.
