Trumpâs tenuous Iran exit plan isn't healing Republican rifts exposed by the war
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's search for an off-ramp from the war with Iran is getting bumpy inside his Republican Party.In the decade since Trump's “America First” movement rose to power by rejecting military intervention, his coalition has rarely been tested the way it is now.

Venezuelan lawmakers approve a sweeping mining bill to lure foreign investors
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan lawmakers on Thursday approved a bill to regulate the country’s mining as it seeks to attract leery foreign investors to a once-private industry that has long been exploited by criminal groups with ties to the government.It is the latest legislative initiative by acting President Delcy Rodríguez since the self-proclaimed socialist government that has ruled Venezuela for 26 years came under pressure from the Trump administration in January, when the U.S. military deposed then-President Nicolás Maduro.
