The Republican and Democratic presidential candidates have major wedge issues for their campaign slates in recent days.

Sri Lanka prepares for a crucial presidential election with 38 candidates, including Ranil Wickremesinghe, amidst an economic recovery effort.

Sri Lanka said it’s reached an agreement in principle with bondholders to restructure about $12.6 billion in bonds, just two days before the country heads to elections that have rattled investors.

Sri Lankans will vote on Saturday for their next president, who will be key to deciding the future of reforms in a nation slowly emerging from worst financial crisis in decades. A critical shortfall in foreign exchange in 2022 pushed Sri Lanka's economy into the worst financial freefall in decades.
