Week in Review: Winners and Losers From the Trump-Kim Summit, Merkel’s Most Serious Challenge, and Much More

Show Notes

  • After months of wondering if it would actually happen, United States President Donald Trump met with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un for talks about denuclearizing the North. There are some clear winners and losers from this historic event.
  • Political changes are underway in Iraq that are bringing the nation more firmly into the orbit of the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism: Iran.
  • The German government is on increasingly shaky ground, with Chancellor Angela Merkel now facing what some are calling her most serious challenge to date.
  • This episode also covers radical leftists in the United States, the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe, the geopolitical significance of Russia’s hosting of the World Cup, the plague of suicide, and some very inspiring news about Herbert W. Armstrong College and major publications calling attention to its role in some earthshaking archaeological discoveries.
