Medium · UAE Introduces Artificial Intelligence as Mandatory Subject Across All Schools from Next Academic YearBy Anthony Manning
Continued thread

In recent weeks, the #Trump family has faced an intensifying backlash in Washington over its business dealings w/foreign countries.

On the #Senate floor on Tues, Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, spent 20mins walking through the various sources of overseas money pouring into the Trump family business, including the #memecoin, a #RealEstate deal involving the govt of #Qatar & a separate $2 billion #crypto deal with a firm backed by the #UAE.

i'm having trouble understanding why Senator Chris Murphy, who in many ways is the very embodiment of what it means to be a dude from #Connecticut, is the only member of Congress who seems to sufficiently both understand and relentlessly harp on the Trump family's crypto corruption but he's doing a great job and I'm here for it (even if he doesn't go into the fact that Trump is collaborating with Chinese organized crime companies and personalities like #Binance and Justin Sun)

Why is this kind of simple explanation of corruption so hard for the rest of the #Democrats?

Donald Trump is en route to Saudi Arabia for what he's describing as a 'historic' tour of the Middle East. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics. He says that the US seems to be undergoing a "shift in foreign policy whereby the US is not walking away from Israel" but is "a little more oriented towards US relationships with the Gulf Arab monarchies and less oriented around Israel".

Behind the scenes, #Trump ofcls are pressing #Israel to agree to an immediate #ceasefire in #Gaza - one of #SaudiArabia's preconditions for any re-start of normalization talks.

Trump's #MiddleEast envoy #SteveWitkoff told an audience at the Israeli embassy in Washington this week that he imminently expected progress on expanding the #AbrahamAccords, a set of deals brokered by Trump in his first term under which #Arab states including the #UAE, #Bahrain, #Sudan & #Morocco recognised #Israel.

In #Mideast, #Trump plans to focus on #business deals, not #geopolitics
Trump leaves Monday for a 4-day trip to #SaudiArabia, #Qatar & the #UAE, a mission that is expected to focus heavily on business deals & new investments from the #oil-rich region.
The swing through deep-pocketed #MiddleEast monarchies, Trump’s first major international travel of his 2nd term, is a marker of Trump’s priorities & another sign of his intention to de-emphasize the traditional #US #allies.
