They’re beefing. Social media went wild after an Instagram video of McDonald’s CEO and Chairman, Chris Kempczinski, introducing the fast food chain’s newest Big Arch burger and taking the smallest nibble of it made its rounds.

European Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen hailed his visit to Azerbaijan on Tuesday as “fruitful” as the European Union deals with the halt in liquid natural gas (LNG) production from Qatar, an important energy exporter, and the impact of the Strait of Hormuz’s closure amid the conflict in the Middle East. “Diversification, energy security and clean transition are top priorities. This is even more important in the context of the ongoing tensions in the Middle East,” Jørgensen wrote on X, as EU imports from Qatar accounted for 8% in 2025, according to real-time data and intelligence market Kpler Insight.
