We begin with President Trump’s dangerous and potentially very costly policies for American consumers, causing a potential global tariff and trade war; and publish excerpts from an insightful article in the conservative Wall Street Journal, charging Trump and his administration with the mishandling of two major emergencies. We also report on Trump’s last minute agreement to postpone tariffs against Canada and Mexico for one month, pending further negotiations, but he did not exempt China which has already begun to retaliate. Trump’s threats against Europe continue, and so does Europe’s commitment to respond in kind.
We also report on Trump’s bombshell announcement to take over Gaza, prompting worldwide condemnation.
Please view in this context our new StandingWatch program, titled, “Trump—the Man of Destiny?”
We continue with ISIS terrorists in Somalia and Iran’s nuclear ambitions; Belgium’s new government; the contentions between China and the Philippines; and we conclude with the political fight in a deeply divided Germany.
Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.
