Trump is ‘a threat to our world order’

(Worthy News) – Donald Trump has been branded a ‘threat to our world order’ and unworthy of a state visit, after he moved to pull the United States from the international Arms Trade Treaty.

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said the US president’s plan to quit the agreement regulating arms sales between countries showed he was “nothing but a disgrace to his office”.

In a furious intervention, the shadow cabinet member said Mr Trump’s move was ”the final confirmation that he is not the leader of the free world”. [ Source: UK Independent (Read More…) ]

Netanyahu, Kahlon reportedly plan for possible financial collapse of PA

(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon have reportedly discussed emergency plans, should the Palestinian Authority’s financial system collapse over its refusal to accept tax dividends collected by Israel, according to television reports Sunday.

The two met Sunday to discuss what plans to put in place and what possible moves would keep the Palestinians solvent, amid fears that financial woes could cripple the Palestinian economy and destabilize the West Bank, according to the reports.

Israel announced in February that it would withhold $138 million in monthly payments to the PA — to offset the PA’s payments to Palestinians jailed by Israel for terrorism and violence, and to the families of dead terrorists. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]

Satanic Temple sues Minnesota city over proposed monument

(Worthy News) – The Massachusetts-based Satanic Temple is suing a Minnesota city for withdrawing permission for a satanic monument two years ago, when local government officials got tangled in a debate over religious symbols in public places.

Satanic Temple co-founder Malcolm Jarry told the Star Tribune Saturday that people have a right to protest their proposed monument.

The predicament the city of Belle Plaine finds itself in began in 2017 when officials decided to allow a steel silhouette of a soldier praying over a grave marked with a cross at a veterans’ memorial park. The Satanic Temple wanted its own monument in the park in an area the city designated as a “public forum” after complaints that the soldiers’ monument violated the separation of church and state. Officials shut down the public forum area altogether when complaints followed over the proposed satanic monument. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]

IMF: Iran Inflation Could Reach 40 Percent Amid Sanctions

(Worthy News) – Iran’s economy is expected to shrink by six percent this year and inflation could reach 40 percent, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts, as the country copes with the impact of tighter U.S. sanctions.

Washington reimposed sanctions on Iran’s oil exports in November following the U.S. withdrawal from a 2015 nuclear accord.

On April 21, the White House said it had decided not to renew exemptions from U.S. sanctions to buyers of Iranian oil in an effort to cut Iran’s vital oil exports to zero. [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
