US Now Eyes 2020
This was the week when Donald Trump enhanced his chances for a second term and fired another top official in his team, Iran was defiant over new sanctions, and we remembered 1918
For him or against him, Donald Trump dominates the politics of the US midterm elections, and enhances his chances for re-election in 2020; the future of the investigation into links between the Trump administration and Russia in the last presidential race comes into doubt after the president sacks his attorney general; Iran says it will defy American sanctions targeting its oil industry, but are sanctions as an effective tool as they used to be? And how commemorations to mark the end of World War 1 have changed over time to maintain their relevance even though all the combatants are now long gone.
