IMPERFECT AS HE IS, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S EFFORTS TOWARD PEACE ARE COMMENDABLE
US President Donald Trump attracts avalanches of international scrutiny for all the right reasons – he is after all the commander-in-chief of the world’s most potent army and presides over an economy with significant global influence.
