Trump Clearly Thought BBC Case Would Be as Easy as ABC... He's Learning the Hard Way It Won’t Be
August 21, 2026 | Newly discovered photos show Donald Trump aide Natalie Harp sprinting after his cart at his Scottish golf course - after bizarre letters she sent him confessing her devotion to him were published.
Questions are swirling about the 35-year-old executive assistant unusually close relationship with the US President. Harp is nicknamed the "human printer" because she frequently prints out and hands the President printouts of flattering news stories and cherry-picked poll numbers - acting as a "filter" for information reaching him. She is reported to have frequently left "intimate" letters for him to find in his personal spaces, saying things like "You are all that matters to me," and "I don't ever want to let you down...I want to bring you joy."
And in a letter published last night by US website The Daily Beast, Harp apologised for a 2023 incident where she followed him around his golf course at Turnberry, Ayrshire on foot, instead of riding in a golf cart. She told Trump, who was running for re-election at the time, that she was sorry "if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland." She added: "If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me...I want things to always be right between us...you are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life."

'They Should Be Very Careful,' Marandi Warns Gulf States as Iran Prepares for Economic Warfare
Professor Mohammad Marandi said that Iran is preparing for "a very long war" by transitioning to a wartime economy "when the United States initiates this new phase of economic warfare."
He further warned that Gulf states including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait should "be very careful about their actions in the days and weeks ahead," arguing that if they assist US operations against Iranian civilians, "they will be severely punished, and their regimes will probably not survive."
Marandi asserted that Iran is preparing not only for prolonged war but for the economic and political challenges that come with it, with the Supreme National Security Council positioned to oversee "all aspects of life in Iran, not just war."

Droits de douane : Donald Trump empêtré dans sa croisade tarifaire mondiale
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Le locataire de la Maison-Blanche a réussi à tordre le bras à l’Europe et à d’autres pays pour obtenir des conditions avantageuses. Alors que le bras de fer avec le Canada est relancé, l’annulation, il y a six mois, d’une grosse partie des tarifs par la Cour suprême fragilise largement sa politique.
Œil pour œil, dent pour dent. Après l’échec des négociations commerciales avec Washington, le Canada a choisi la riposte. Dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche, Ottawa a annoncé à son tour des droits de douane d’un montant équivalent aux 20 milliards de dollars d’importations canadiennes ciblées par la Maison-Blanche. Un nouveau front de la guerre commerciale tous azimuts du président américain se rouvre.
Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump a fait des droits de douane le principal instrument de sa politique étrangère, frappant tour à tour la quasi-totalité des partenaires économiques des États-Unis. Mais en l’espace de dix-huit mois maintenant, à force d’accords et de revirements, d’exemptions sectorielles, de pauses tarifaires, de petits arrangements ainsi que de dispositifs invalidés par la Cour suprême, la politique commerciale américaine est devenue un maquis insondable. » | Par Lucas Mediavilla | dimanche 23 août 2026

Trump s'est mis dans un sacré pétrin ! Il a entraîné ses compatriotes et lui-même dans une guerre contre l'Iran qu'il ne peut tout simplement pas gagner. Il est également engagé dans une guerre commerciale avec le Canada — qu'il ne peut pas remporter non plus — qui coûte cher à de nombreux acteurs américains, notamment aux producteurs de spiritueux et autres boissons alcoolisées.
Qui plus est, l'économie sous l'ère Trump bat de l'aile et les prix s'envolent. Pourtant, Trump continue de s'enfoncer dans un trou toujours plus profond !
Pour couronner le tout, la dette nationale américaine a explosé, dépassant les quarante mille milliards de dollars. La seule guerre contre l'Iran coûte environ un milliard de dollars par jour !
Voilà bien toute la maîtrise dont fait preuve Trump en matière d'économie et de géopolitique ! — © Mark Alexander

Im Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und Kanada hat US-Präsident Donald Trump am Sonntag öffentlich auf die angekündigten kanadischen Gegenzölle reagiert und dabei seine Rhetorik vom möglichen 51. US-Bundesstaat erneuert.
„Kanada will die Vorteile eines Staates haben, ohne einer zu sein“, schrieb Trump auf seiner Plattform Truth Social. Zudem warf er dem Nachbarland vor, US-Landwirten jahrelang hohe Zölle auferlegt zu haben. Damit sei nun Schluss.
Trumps Wortmeldung folgt auf das Scheitern tagelanger Verhandlungen und das Inkrafttreten neuer US-Zölle auf kanadische Waren am Samstag. Die Aufschläge in Höhe von 50 Prozent betreffen laut Bericht der Nachrichtenagentur The Canadian Press Ausfuhren im Wert von rund 28 Milliarden kanadischen Dollar, darunter erstmals auch Waren, die unter das nordamerikanische Freihandelsabkommen USMCA fallen – etwa Hockeyschläger, Honig, ätherische Öle und Milchprodukte. » | Peter Steiniger | Sonntag, 23.

Waleed Asadi: Shami* Cannoli | كانولي شامي
August 17, 2026 | I have had this idea to create a Shami Cannoli for a while now. The contrasting textures of a cannoli are reminiscent to me of qatayef and knafeh. You have a crispy exterior and creamy filling that works so well together.
I thought what if we fill these cannolis with [and I came up with] a Shami-style filling, something really unique to our part of the world. So today, I finally decided to give it a try.

‘Trump Is Very Weak’: Canadian Premier Delivers Stunning Blow To Trump | World News | US | Canada
August 22, 2026 | A Canadian premier delivered a series of sharp attacks against President Donald Trump, calling his political position weak and issuing a stark warning about the upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
The remarks included the striking prediction that Trump and Republicans could be “slaughtered in the midterms,” adding another dramatic chapter to the political tensions surrounding Trump’s leadership and his relationship with Canada.
The comments come as the 2026 midterms approach and the battle for control of Congress begins to intensify. …

Iran Warns Gulf States Against Joining Trump’s Economic War, or Else
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Iran’s new hard-line national security adviser, Mohsen Rezaei, vowed to prevent “a single drop of oil” from leaving the region.

President Trump has warned that “Economic D-Day” is coming for Iran. This weekend, Tehran promised to fight back, threatening any nation that helps the United States.
Iran’s new security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, on Saturday vowed to strike the interests of oil-rich neighbors if they joined U.S. efforts to further isolate Iran, whose economy is already in free fall. He warned that Tehran would seek to prevent “even a single drop of oil” from leaving the region.
“Any country that becomes a partner in creating economic restrictions against us will be regarded by us as an enemy,” he said in an interview with Iran’s state broadcaster.
Mr. Razaei is a political hard-liner and former head of the Revolutionary Guards. The interview offered his first extensive comments since taking up his new post two weeks ago — and struck an aggressive tone in line with Iran’s increasingly uncompromising regional strategy. At one point, he asked whether Iran should pursue building a nuclear bomb, which Tehran has previously insisted it has no intention of doing. » | Erika Solomon | Sunday, August 23, 2026

‘The Country of My Birth Has Lost Its Heart’: Miriam Margolyes on How to Fix Broken Britain
THE GUARDIAN: At 85, the actor has lived through much political upheaval. But, she writes, today’s hostile times feel like ‘the worst yet’. She reflects on her journey from teenage Tory to full-throated leftist – and says there’s still time to save the nation from the bad guys
Afunny thing happened on the way to 2026: I got old and the world turned nasty. It happened very quickly and it’s to do with politics (the world) and pelvic floor weakness (mine). It’s strange being this old. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, it’s a shock to see wrinkles and grey hair, because inside I am still that naughty Oxford High School girl, risking detention just for the joy of entertaining her friends. People assume that with great age comes great wisdom, but actually we remain who we have always been, only more so, and we need to make our peace with that and with each other.
The Britain I grew up in, though – that feels almost unrecognisable, and everyone I speak to says the same thing. The historian Eric Hobsbawm, whom I knew and loved, argued that people invent the past they want for their own purposes – that the real past was quite different: “Today is the great age of historical mythology.” He’s right, but that past is still the safe haven I’d like to return to. People feel adrift, they don’t understand or feel a connection to the place they thought they knew.
Now at 85, I look around at my remaining friends and at my unique relationship with a woman of different qualities but luckily the same politics. In many ways I’m having the time of my life: I’ve never been richer or more in demand. And yet my heart is heavy with foreboding …
My postwar generation lived through the rise and fall of many things: the Berlin Wall, Winston Churchill, the European Union, the NHS, the Beatles, Profumo, Elizabeth II, the Great Train Robbery, the pill, the IRA, Margaret Thatcher, the Falklands war, Black Monday and Grenfell, heart transplants, driverless cars, Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic. But this feels the worst time yet.
The things we took for granted – free speech, the Post Office, our local bank, even the home telephone – are disappearing. The US is an enemy. Evil oligarchs and their influence stalk the world, my world, your world. In recent times, the archbishop of Canterbury resigned and north London Jews are afraid to wear a Magen David (Shield or Star of David) necklace outside their homes for fear of being attacked. You’re brave to open your mouth these days. Indeed, many have demanded I keep mine shut. But I can’t. The present has become threatening, hostile and unwelcoming to us – much as our shores must feel to asylum seekers, as they scramble for a foothold in our United Kingdom. It also feels as though the country of my birth has lost its heart. How did we get here? » | Miriam Margolyes | Sunday, August 23, 2026
Jeffrey Sachs: America’s Economic Crisis - U.S. Debt & Rising Rates Signal Trouble
Aug 22, 2026 | Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Judge Andrew Napolitano to discuss the growing challenges facing the U.S. economy, including rising interest rates, falling bond prices, massive federal deficits, and America’s $40 trillion national debt. Sachs argues that declining demand for U.S. Treasury securities reflects growing concerns about American economic policy and credibility.
The conversation also examines the unpredictability of U.S. foreign policy, changing relationships with countries such as South Korea and Iran, and the broader reassessment of America’s global role. Sachs also discusses AIPAC, U.S. political races, and changing American attitudes toward Israel.

Conflit au Moyen-Orient: Téhéran dit considérer comme un « ennemi » tout pays participant à la « guerre économique » de Washington
LE FIGARO : Le secrétaire du Conseil suprême de sécurité nationale iranien a appelé les pays du monde à ne pas se ranger derrière les États-Unis.
« Tout pays participant à la mise en place de restrictions économiques » à l’encontre de l’Iran est « considéré comme un ennemi », a déclaré samedi le secrétaire du Conseil suprême de sécurité nationale iranien, Mohsen Rezaï. « Nous déclarons à tous les pays autour de nous et tous les pays du monde: ne vous joignez pas à la guerre économique menée par les États-Unis », a déclaré Rezaï à la télévision d’État, après l’annonce par Washington d’un renforcement des sanctions économiques destinées à accentuer la pression sur Téhéran.
Si les pays concernés refusaient de « prendre leurs distances » avec les États-Unis, l’Iran porterait « atteinte à leurs intérêts », a-t-il ajouté. « Nous n’avons encore attaqué aucun intérêt économique américain » et « jusqu’à présent, nous n’avons ciblé que des bases militaires, mais s’ils veulent nous imposer des sanctions économiques, les États-Unis possèdent des entreprises pétrolières et économiques autour de l’Iran et ailleurs, et nous les frapperons », a poursuivi Mohsen Rezaei.

It began with such high hopes.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Hollywood in 2020, flush with a multimillion-dollar Netflix deal and a promise that the duo, scorned by the royal family, would make a slew of inspirational programming.
Two years later, “Harry & Meghan” the Netflix six-part docuseries on the couple’s departure from Britain, generated 23.4 million views in its initial release, immediately topping the company’s charts as the most watched ever for the first four days of a documentary. In total, the program has garnered 70 million views since its debut.
Nothing else Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, ever made for the service — whether it was “Live to Lead,” a seven-episode interview show with world leaders, or “Polo,” a docuseries about the sport — reached such heights.
In 2025, the Netflix deal was not renewed. A similarly lofty agreement at Spotify also fell short of expectations. » | Nicole Sperling and Shawn Hubler | Reporting from Los Angeles | Saturday, August 22, 2026

Pakistan: Islam bestimmt den Alltag | Doku HD | ARTE | Reupload
Aug 9, 2025 | In Pakistans Gesellschaft brodelt es. Immer mehr Menschen fordern mehr Freiheit und Gleichheit. Der Rockmusiker Aaiz rebelliert mit provokanten Texten gegen das Patriarchat, die Anwältin Neha kämpft gegen die Zwangsheirat. Der Imam Abdul Jameel dagegen fordert die Einhaltung der religiösen Regeln.
Pakistan ist ein Land, in dem Männer meistens das Sagen haben. Patriarchale Strukturen und religiöse Normen prägen Gesellschaft und Familie. Männliche Gewalt ist allgegenwärtig. Zwar gibt es zahlreiche Gesetze, die Frauen schützen sollen – doch in der Realität stehen Frauen einem System gegenüber, das sie oft unterdrückt. Aber nicht nur Frauen sind betroffen: Jeder, der in dieser konservativ-muslimischen Gesellschaft von der Tradition abweicht, hat es schwer. Besonders junge Menschen in den Städten spüren den Konflikt zwischen modernen Einflüssen und den Regeln, die Familien und Moscheen vorgeben. Doch es regt sich Widerstand – nicht nur unter Frauen, sondern auch unter Männern.
Der Imam Abdul Jameel versteht den Islam als Maßstab für sein Leben und als Grundlage für eine geordnete Gesellschaft. Er fordert strenge islamische Regeln – für seine Gemeinde, seine Frau und seine Söhne. Der Rockmusiker Aaiz setzt mit provokanten Texten und seinem Lebensstil ein Zeichen gegen die engen gesellschaftlichen Zwänge. Mit seiner Band rebelliert er gegen den Konservatismus und die Macht der Religion. Die Anwältin Neha kämpft für Mädchen und Frauen, die schutzlos sind oder Opfer männlicher Gewalt wurden. Sie weiß aus eigener Erfahrung, wie es ist, Missbrauch zu erleiden – und keine Möglichkeit zu haben, ihn anzuzeigen.Drei Menschen, die unterschiedliche Haltungen und Perspektiven vertreten im „Land der Männer“.

Addicted: Why Teens Can't Stop Vaping
Western politicians have got a hell of a lot to answer for promoting this garbage! Smoking conventional cigarettes among the young was going down and down in recent years anyway. Smoking was losing its appeal. So, politicians should have left things alone. They should have just kept on informing people through infomercials of the dangers attached to smoking. But instead of that, they promoted these dangerous alternatives to cigarette smoking: all forms of e-cigarettes and vapes.
I have never tried vaping, and nor do I have any intention of ever doing so. But I have heard it said, and I have read, that vaping is more addictive than smoking conventional cigarettes.
In my opinion, for what it is worth, because vapers usually keep their e-cigarettes constantly in their hands and keep on puffing on them incessantly—something one never does with conventional cigarettes—they are bound to be far more addictive and injurious to health in the long-run that real cigarettes could ever be. A person who smokes real cigarettes, unless he/she is a chain-smoker, will take a break from smoking after stubbing out the cigarette he/she has just smoked. Not so, it seems, with e-cigarettes.
In years to come, doctors will be discovering all manner of illnesses caused by these devices. I feel sure of that. Possibly discovering diseases and illnesses which until now have not even been thought of.
It’s such a shame that politicians cannot stop themselves from meddling in people’s lives. It is such a pity that they feel compelled to try and improve the situation. Why? Because they usually end up making things worse. In German, there is a perfect word to describe this phenomenon. It is this: verschlimmbessern. There is no English equivalent; one can only describe its meaning. And it is this: doing something in the hope of improving things but you end up making things worse. This German word perfectly describes the actions of our stupid, ill-informed politicians. My message to them is this: Keep your noses out of people’s private lives and just leave things alone, leave people sort out their own problems. Good parents know how to deal with these things. They don’t need politicians to keep on passing new, ineffective laws to try and help them. — © Mark Alexander
For Churchill’s Sake, Don’t Let the Flame Go Out on the Last Cigar
THE TELEGRAPH: We can’t allow those running the nanny state to have their way
Screenshot taken from this Telegraph article. | The former prime minister is perhaps the most famous cigar smoker in our nation’s history Credit: Bettmann
In the decade or so since it was mandated that cigarettes be sold in plain packaging, that awful grey that serves as backdrop to any newsagent or duty-free shop, I have often found myself marvelling at my own good fortune. For I smoke cigars, or cigarillos, not cigarettes – which means that, when I buy my smokes, they come in their proper colourful containers rather than the bland boxes that would not be out of place in a dystopian film.
My regular smoke of choice is Signature (the rebranded Café Crème) with the light-blue tin, complete with an illustration of the cigarillo, which has always stood out against the boring uniformity of my cigarette-smoking friends’ packets. Even though they have long been defaced by large, ugly health warnings, the packaging has always been unique. A reminder that we are not all the same.
Those times may be over. Ministers’ plans to insist on plain packaging for cigars have sparked fears from tobacconists that it will destroy the market and put storied retailers out of business, while limiting choice for those who wish to light up as imports dry up. » | Liam Kelly | Friday, August 21, 2026

Crucial trade talks between the United States and Canada to stave off punishing new tariffs by the Trump administration on Canadian goods collapsed late Friday, with Canada saying it would retaliate “dollar for dollar.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada said he had decided to suspend the talks because the American side had introduced last-minute terms that were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
He added that the talks, which had been going on for weeks and had intensified in the past few days, had marked important progress but had ultimately “not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians.”
United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters that Canada had walked away from the negotiating table, minutes before a deadline ushering in new 50 percent tariffs by the Trump administration on a broad range of Canadian goods. » | Matina Stevis-Gridneff, Ian Austen and Ana Swanson | Matina Stevis-Gridneff reported from Toronto and Ian Austen from Ottawa.

Meet Fat Papi, the Little-known NZ Rapper Catapulted to Billboard 100 Fame
Two months ago, Baban Hussain, a 22-year-old Kurdish New Zealander, was working from a self-run studio in Auckland, putting out music to a few thousand followers as little-known rapper Fat Papi.
Then, as modern fairytales go, he made a viral hit that has amassed over 7.5bn views across YouTube, gained him nearly 10m new monthly listeners on Spotify, and catapulted him on to global charts – including the US Billboard Hot 100.
The last feat made history: Hussain is the first Kurdish artist to land on the Billboard Hot 100, and only the second New Zealand rapper to do so.
“It’s a whirlwind,” Hussain tells the Guardian on a video call from a hotel in New York City where he has been promoting his music and meeting with industry. “My life is completely different. It’s a very intense time and honestly amazing and everything we have ever wanted.” » | Eva Corlett in Wellington | Saturday, August 22, 2026

How the US Is Using Iran’s Economy to Fight the War in the Middle East | BBC News
Aug 21, 2026 | US Vice President JD Vance says the Iran War is in a ‘new phase’ of economic pressure.
It comes as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said: “You are either with us or against us," as he urged US allies to support Washington's efforts to "squash" the Iranian economy.
But the Iranian Foreign Ministry has called the measures ‘economic terrorism’. The BBC has also heard from people inside Iran on what life is like for them.

Why the West Hates Arabs and Islam
Nov 12, 2025 | For over a thousand years, the West has told the same story — the Arab and the Muslim as the eternal enemy. From the Crusades to colonialism to the War on Terror, that myth has justified centuries of violence — all the way to Gaza today.
This is the story of how that lie was written… and why we’re still living inside it.

Was Clacton Fiasco Beginning of the End for Farage and Reform?
August 21, 2026 | Farage has gone missing since the Clacton by-election — and the party he built is falling apart around him.
I wasn't going to talk about Farage this week, but after the Clacton by-election he's done a disappearing act and Reform UK appears to be in complete meltdown.
n this video I look at why calling that by-election was the first major unforced error of Farage's career — the moment he realised he'd made a classic mistake and went to ground.
From the poll slump (27% down to 24%) to the pressers from Richard Tice and Bob Jenrick, the £50 billion benefit cut plan, and the long list of scandals and fallings-out — the £5 million gift, the tax investigations, the convictions — this is a party beginning to look like a complete rabble.
I also ask the bigger question: Is this finally it for the man who brought us Brexit? …

$40 Trillion 'Time Bomb’': Is Trump about to Break the Global Economy?
Aug 21, 2026 | Is Donald Trump driving the world economy off a cliff while you’re on your summer holiday?
America has just passed $40 trillion of debt. Trump’s tariffs are pushing up prices, his tax cuts are adding to the deficit, and his war with Iran has sent oil prices soaring. Now bond markets are turning on him. The US treasury has tried to step in and calm the bond markets, but it doesn’t appear to have worked. So what exactly is going on?
Is this just a wobble in the bond markets - or a sign of something much worse to come?
On this episode of The Fourcast, Ciaran Jenkins is joined by Pippa Malmgren, who served as an economic adviser to President George W. Bush, and The Economist’s economics editor Archie Hall.

Pakistan Ex-PM Imran Khan Back in Jail after Hospital Examination | BBC News
August 21, 2026 | Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was moved back to prison early on Friday after being examined by doctors at a hospital in Islamabad, who deemed him "medically fit".
The Supreme Court had on Tuesday ordered the cricketer-turned-politician be taken to a specific private hospital within 48 hours to be examined by physicians, following complaints about his health.
It was the most significant relief Khan has received from the courts since he was imprisoned in 2023 on corruption charges, which he says were politically motivated.
As well as being transferred to hospital, the court order also specified Khan should be allowed to see his family, which he has not been able to do in months.

Cigars Face Extinction under Labour ‘Nanny State’ Attack
THE TELEGRAPH: Ban on traditional packaging could lead to ‘total wipe-out’ of industry, tobacconists claim

Cigars face disappearing from Britain within a matter of years under “nanny state” health plans to make smoking less attractive.
Health ministers are considering fresh proposals to ban them unless they come in plain packaging with graphic photographs, similar to cigarettes.
It threatens to outlaw centuries-old artwork that adorns the boxes and bands of authentic handmade cigars, sold largely by small family businesses that have long been exempt from onerous packaging rules applied to corporate tobacco giants.
The proposals have caused uproar across the industry, which fears the rules will cut off imports to Britain.
Tobacconists are warning the rules will put them “out of business” for good and lead to a “total wipe-out” of the sector within a matter of years. » | Noah Eastwood Money Reporter. Harry Brennan Consumer Affairs Editor | Friday, August 21, 2026
Stop this damn war on smoking! Period! I am no longer a smoker, but even so, I am sick and tired of this war. There are far, far worse, unhealthier things in life than enjoying a cigar or even a cigarette. Until just over four years ago, I smoked for most of my adult life, and I look back on my time as a smoker with joy and affection. I have quit smoking very successfully, but I cannot say I feel any healthier as a result of quitting. And as for the pleasure I get out of life, it is seriously diminished. Do-gooders make me sick! Far sicker than smoking ever did! This perpetual war on smoking is enough to make me want to leave these shores for good. The problem is that our politicians of all stripes have no understanding of joie de vivre and its life-enhancing potential and contribution to longevity. — © Mark Alexander

The End of Prince Harry and Meghan's American Dream | The Global Story
Aug 21, 2026 | The Duke of Sussex and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, plan to move back to the UK later this month.
Prince Harry told the BBC last year that he, “can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back.” So what’s changed?
Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are due to start at a British school in September. They are not expected to resume their roles as working Royals.
Prince Harry and Meghan left the UK in 2020, and in the years since have had various achievements and controversies, including high-profile legal battles with the UK press and the government.
Asma Khalid from The Global Story podcast asks the journalist and royal commentator Sarah Hewson about the successes and failures of brand Sussex in the US, Prince Harry’s ongoing concerns about security, and whether he can repair relationships with his family.

Warum ist Nordkorea plötzlich so reich? | Rüdiger Frank
Aug 21, 2026 | Wir sprechen mit dem Nordkorea Experten Rüdiger Frank über den beispiellosen Wirtschaftsboom, den Nordkorea gerade erlebt.
Nordkorea erlebt gerade einen Wirtschaftsboom? Also jenes Land, das wie der Fiebertraum sozialistischer Diktaturen wirkt, in dem Menschen hungern und regelmäßig in gigantischen Paraden ihrem Führer huldigen müssen? Es klingt absurd, aber die Anzeichen für einen Aufschwung häufen sich. Neue Stadtviertel und Luxusresorts entstehen dort, wo bis vor einigen Jahren noch gar nichts war. Wir schauen uns heute an, was hinter diesen Schlagzeilen steckt und sprechen mit dem renommierten Korea-Experten Rüdiger Frank von der Universität Wien.
Und wenn ich mich nicht irre, ist genau dieser Wirtschaftsboom der Hauptgrund dafür, dass Donald Trump Kim Jong Un schmeichelt! Trump will mindestens einen „Trump Tower“ in Nordkorea errichten lassen. Wahrscheinlich sogar noch viel mehr. Trump sieht in Nordkorea Dollarzeichen! — G Mark Alexander
