Week in Review: Trump’s Immigration Crisis, China Courts North Korea, Germany Trying to Check Iran, and Much More

Show Notes

  • Concern over immigrant children being separated from their parents on America’s southern border has become an explosive political issue. We’ll get past the hype to see what is really happening.
  • European leaders are dealing with an immigration crisis of their own and taking steps to contain the flow of migrants from Northern Africa.
  • Meanwhile, Germany is increasing arms sales to Arab states and strengthening ties with Jordan in an effort to stop what Angela Merkel called Iran’s “aggressive tendencies.”
  • After the Singapore summit, China has been preparing for more economic investment in North Korea, and Kim Jong-un made his third visit to Beijing.
  • We’ll also talk about the civil war in Yemen reaching what could be its decisive battle, China supplanting American investment in Cambodia, and a judge in Canada saying that a child can legally have a mom and two dads.
