US soft power on display here in Armenia, USAID funding is crucial for supporting academic infrastructure & programs, as Russia & China stir the pot. It’s the art of the deal Trump doesn’t understand.

The Trade War is on-How exposed is Austria? The US is Austria's 2nd largest trading partner/exports by value. Sanctions on Mexico also hit the German car industry and thus affect Austrian exports. Several popular German cars are assembled in Mexico or get their parts.
