Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Amid U.S. Cuts, Palestinian Refugee Agency Left in the Lurch
2018-03-13
[ForeignPolicy] Nikki Haley bet the rest of the world would cover the costs of American aid cuts to Palestinian refugees. That hasn’t happened.
I strongly suspect the FP journalist has this wrong. President Trump assumed that the world would not cover the cuts, but was unconcerned that they might choose to do so, his key concern being that America no longer do so. His secondary concern is that a reduction of the green stuff would push the Palestinians to see that their interest lies in quickly making peace with Israel, or that they become less able to support their “covert” war.

#3  Can't really bail out Venezuela unless you are China as China sold them zillion's with all sorts of penalty clauses. Only China can unwind it.

#2  Anybody hear anything about a concerted of the usual suspects to "help" VZ climb out of their hole?

#1  I'm sure there were 'pledges' from the usual suspects. I'm sure they could cover the numeric amount pledged in Venezuelan Bolivars.
