Week in Review: Resuscitating the Mideast Peace Process, Merkel in Saudi Arabia, THAAD, a Syria Agreement and More
- The Trump administration says it wants to make a deal—between the Arabs and Jews. President Donald Trump is hosting Arab leaders at the White House and will visit Saudi Arabia and Israel later this month.
- German Chancellor Angela Merkel is also visiting Saudi Arabia and says her country will now start training Saudi Arabian soldiers in Germany.
- America’s missile shield in South Korea is now operational. China and Russia are not happy about it—and neither is South Korea.
- Russia, Turkey and Iran have signed a deal to end the war in Syria—and it looks like it could carve the country into separate pieces.
- We’ll also talk about why America’s middle class is shrinking—how Southeast Asian nations are caving into China—a surprise announcement from the Roman Catholic pope and the Coptic pope—and the fact that the world’s bestselling book isn’t being read.
