USA: Recently, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said ‘what a loser’ and let the world know she thinks Prez Trump’s not fit to be prez. Then added that she’s “not for impeachment” because Trump’s “not worth” dividing the American public. This comes as Rep John Yarmuth (D-CA) - the chairman of the House Budget Committee - says impeachment proceedings are “inevitable.” Divided. Speaking of which, Dems are heading to Milwaukee. Recently, the Wisconsin city was chosen as the location of the Democratic National Convention in July 2020. Big deal, since this shows Dems are looking to campaign extra hard in the Midwest during this next election.
WORLD: Everyone is talking about the Ethiopian Airlines crash. Reminder: the other day, a Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed after taking off from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board - coming just months after another Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed and killed all 190 passengers. Now, investigators are looking into what may have caused the crash as multiple countries - not including the US - ground this plane type. In other news, yesterday, the US threatened to stop sharing intel with Germany if the country continues chatting with Huawei. You know Huawei for being labelled a national security threat by the US gov - something the Chinese telecom biz says is unfair. Now, the US is pressuring other countries to turn their backs on Huawei, too.
POLITICS: Yesterday, the US said ‘we’re out’ and announced they’ll be withdrawing the rest of their diplomatic team from Venezuela. This comes as Prez Nicolas Maduro blaming the US for a nationwide power outage that’s left at least 17 people dead. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Algeria. Quick refresher: Algeria’s had its current prez for a very very very long time. Something they’re not exactly happy about. Hint: the gov’s been accused of corruption - while the Prez hardly ever shows his face in public after suffering a stroke in 2013. So when he announced he’d be running for re-election, thousands of people took to the streets in protest. Now, the Prez is dropping his bid for another term - but delaying the election. Stay tuned.
