Week in Review: Israel’s Pre-election Crises, China-EU Trade Grows, Effects of Failed North Korea Diplomacy, and Much More
Show Notes
- As Israel prepares for an election next month, its prime minister is embroiled in a major legal battle, and the nation faces several troubling crises including turmoil on the Temple Mount.
- The trade war between the U.S. and China has reduced commerce between those two nations. That business has been redirected, most notably in a stronger trade relationship between China and Europe.
- France’s president wrote a letter to all citizens of Europe with an impassioned plea to embrace a stronger European superstate.
- The failure of negotiations between Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un are having unintended effects within Asia, particularly increasing pressure on Japan to strengthen its defense.
- We also talk about a Philippine island controlled by China’s “fisherman navy,” the man working in the shadows to implement Iran’s pushy foreign policy, Britain’s knife crime epidemic, and billionaires prepping for the end of the world!
