The company has also successfully incorporated sustainability into its ethos and utilized social media and pop culture to establish its uniqueness in the market  3 .

Americans who endorse white nationalism and hold right-wing political views are more likely to oppose criminal charges against Trump  3 . The relationship between white nationalism and attitudes about charging Trump is indirect, through identification with the political right  3 .

Churchill's leadership was marked by a high degree of personalization, especially during wartime  1 . He focused heavily on mobilizing public support and addressing urgent wartime needs through direct engagement  4 . This contrasted with more institutionalized approaches of other prime ministers.

Contrary to current rhetoric, declassified US diplomatic cables show that in the early 2000s, Putin was comfortable with NATO expansion into Eastern Europe  8 . His public remarks at the time suggested Russia was not opposed to this process, contradicting his present-day arguments  8 .

China's coffee industry growth is driven by urbanization, lifestyle changes, and increased demand. Companies like Luckin Coffee and Starbucks have capitalized on this trend, contributing to both domestic and global coffee markets  2 .
