A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – President Trump may follow through as early as December with his threat to impose tariffs on all of China’s exports to the United States.

The decision may be contingent on a how things go during a meeting Trump has tentatively set for next month with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the G-20 summit in Argentina. A Monday report from Bloomberg citing three anonymous sources said that tariffs covering all Chinese goods could be announced next month if the meeting does not go well.

The U.S. has already hit $250 billion worth of Chinese goods with tariffs ranging from 10 to 25 percent. The remaining amount, about $257 billion, is still free of tariffs, but Trump has said tariffs would follow by January if China doesn’t eliminate its unfair trade practices.

(Worthy News) – Angela Merkel set off Monday on what could be a three-year countdown to the end of her leadership of Germany, a stint that has made her the European Union’s longest-serving leader and a key figure in facing the continent’s many crises.

Merkel announced that she will give up the leadership of her conservative Christian Democratic Union in December and won’t stand for a fifth term as chancellor – signaling the beginning of the end at the helm for the woman many had labeled the “leader of the free world.”

That’s a title she herself objected to, saying leadership is never up to one person or country. But she has been a stalwart face of Western democracy through turbulent times, including the European debt crisis, the migrant influx of 2015, Britain’s decision to leave the EU and escalating trade tensions with the United States.
