Israel has announced that it will build 600 new housing units in occupied East Jerusalem. The plans had been on hold until after the inauguration of US President Trump. The Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem, Meir Turgeman, explained that ““The rules of the game have changed with Donald Trump’s arrival as president….We no longer have our hands tied as in the time of Barack Obama. Now we can finally build.” The move was announced after a telephone conversation between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Much of Great Britain’s nuclear deterrent is on a fleet of Trident submarines. These submarines have been around for a very long time and are periodically updated. It has been revealed that in a test last June, a nuclear missile aimed at a target off the coast of Africa veered off course and ended up off the coast of the US. The failed test was not made public, even though there was a vigorous debate in Parliament about the future of the Trident program. The matter will likely become a serious test of British Prime Minister Theresa May.
President Trump will meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto at the end of this month. The announcement was made as President Trump also announced that he wanted to renegotiate the NAFTA treaty with Canada and Mexico. The Mexican President is under great domestic pressure due to corruption scandals and high rates of inflation. There is little question that the US ties to Mexico and Canada are its most important relationships, and they must be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy.
