Donald Trump dropper å skrive under lov

USAs president Donald Trump avlyser en signering av en boliglov som skulle finne sted onsdag, skriver Reuters.

Lovforslaget hadde bred tverrpolitisk støtte og skulle sørge for raskere bygging av boliger og større tilgang til rimelige boliger.

Trump sier at han ikke vil skrive under lovforslaget før et annet lovforslag, «Save America Act», er vedtatt, som Trump mener det er «desperat behov for», skriver nyhetsbyrået.

«Save America Act» skal gjøre det obligatorisk å vise fram bevis på statsborgerskap når man skal stemme i et valg. Men det er allerede et krav om statsborgerskap for å stemme, og det er sjelden at ikke-statsborgere får stemt, ifølge Bipartisan Policy Center.

Ukraine’s Drone Campaign Is More Than a Military Operation — It’s a Political Strategy

By Frank A. Rose

Ukraine fired hundreds of drones at St. Petersburg last week — the second attack on the city and its surrounding region in less than seven days. According to press reports, the strikes targeted oil depots and refineries across the Krasnodar region in southern Russia, following an earlier attack on an oil terminal and naval base near St. Petersburg — launched just miles from where Vladimir Putin was hosting Russia's International Economic Forum, the Kremlin's answer to Davos. On Friday, Putin told the assembled audience he had rejected Ukrainian President Zelensky's request for a direct meeting.

The juxtaposition was not accidental. It was the point.

These attacks tell me two things — one operational, one strategic. Together they suggest that Ukraine has developed a level of political-military sophistication that deserves serious attention in Washington and every allied capital.
