well, you and me and the rest of the world knows that president trump tweets a lot, but this was thee he has ever tweeted about opec, the oil cartel, and that really lead to rattling the oil markets on friday. we saw the benchmark oil prices declining about 196 benchmark oil prices declining about 1% asa benchmark oil prices declining about 1% as a result of that tweet. they did recover modestly and we are watching those prices here in asia and they are falling again. there is and they are falling again. there is a lot of nervousness about his tweet but we know as you mentioned oil prices continue to lurk at three—year highs. they are generally trading at $70 or more per barrel and the reason why oil prices have been slowly creeping up higher without consumers like us really noticing is because more than a year ago opec and non— opec members like russia got together and decided they are going to cut their oil production to try and lift oil prices, because they say they were addressing what was an oil glut in the markets. but since then these opec producers have come in and counted tr

president trump has been sounding the alarm about a surge of migrants heading to the southern border including a caravan barreling for the u.s., tempted by the promise of daca. in a tweetold congress to do something about our, quote, country being stolen. he claims he took matters into his own hands by pressuring mexico to break up the caravan and sending troops to the southern border to handle the crisis, something he said no president had done before. but much of that is incorrect. it is true that apprehensions at the southern border went up from february to march. here is march 2018. look at march 2016, march 2014. here is march 2013, remarkably similar numbers. march 2017 was lower, but that appears to be an outlier. the truth is illegal crossing attempts appear to be at historic lows. consider this, in 2000, 1.6 million people were apprehended trying to enter the country illegally. compare that to 2017 when just 310,000 tried to do so. but homeland security secretary nielsen focused on the supposed uptick from the white house podium wednesday even though her own department last fall said the southern border wurz the most secure and impervious to crossings it has e

according to president trouble well there have been two tweets coming out from donald trump one threatening in imminent strike and another one calling to some would call prating with russia and saying that maybe we should stop the arms race what do you think happened in between of those tweets there were literally posted within like forty less than forty minutes between each other well those are two different issues one is deterring. president assad from using weapons chemical weapons and the other is trying to draw down weapons and save money on in their relationship with russia so it's possible that one could pursue these two different strategies in two different parts of the world so in that sense it's quite clear the united states is tried to deter assad from using chemical weapons is a very narrow. objective it has nothing to do with changing the balance of power in syria is about a thousand six seven hundred people have been killed with with chemical weapons according to the united states in syria since the beginning of seventy or so it's really about exact use and upholding the norma
