2 h. ago As US urges foreign investment, Chinese firms see Trump policy and balk

5 h. ago Despite growing anger, Trump marches on with his projections of power

There was nothing wrong with the idea that America might want a 250th anniversary celebration of the US Army. The celebration that US President Donald Trump finally got after pushing for it since his first term could have been billed as a front-running event connected to the country’s 250th birthday, since we are almost one year away from that significant date. And for those longing for a break from the blood sport that US politics has become, the event did not end up as Trumpian as might have...
