Vspirit premier cruise halong

Sarah Polus, The Washington Post Published 11:57 am PDT, Monday, July 23, 2018 WASHINGTON - For a few glamorous hours on Sunday night, the crowd outside Washington's National Air and Space Museum managed to forget about the relentless political news cycle and the relentless summer heat when the cast of "Mission Impossible: Fallout" arrived on the Mall in all its Hollywood glory.

HANOI, Vietnam — U.S. President Donald Trump enthusiastically waved a tiny Vietnamese flag Wednesday as he sought to convince North Korea's Kim Jong Un that his nation could thrive economically like Vietnam if he would end his pursuit of nuclear weapons. "We'll see what happens, but he wants to do something great," Trump said, adding that Kim could use Vietnam as a model for economic revitalization. "If you look at what you've done in a short time, he can do it in a very, very rapid time — make North Korea into a great economic power." Trump expressed a similar sentiment in a tweet earlier Wednesday. "Vietnam is thriving like few places on earth. North Korea would be the same, and very quickly, if it would denuclearize. The potential is AWESOME, a great opportunity, like almost none other in history, for my friend Kim Jong Un. We will know fairly soon - Very Interesting!"

When Fidel Castro and his band of revolutionaries took control of Cuba in 1959, they established a Communist dictatorship antithetical to everything the U.S. represented—and aligned with America’s enemies. In 1961, a CIA-backed invasion by Cuban refugees to overthrow the Castro regime failed, almost from the moment it began, at the Bay of Pigs. The following year, the Cuban Missile Crisis nearly triggered World War III.Former ABA President Stephen Zack had long expected the day would come when Cuba and the United States would finally break the Cold War-inspired status quo in place for more than half a century that has impoverished and isolated Cuba while creating a sworn enemy of America within 90 miles of its border. But like Godot saying he would be back any day now, Zack had expected a change for so long that he stopped expecting it.The two countries haven’t had diplomatic relations since the Eisenhower administration, and a near-total embargo on American imports … [Read more...] about A new dawn for Cuba as it opens for business
