More Monday Mania

As another manic Monday comes around, here are some things going on:

From Global News, as President Trump announces his plans to scrap NAFTA with a new agreement with Mexico, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland goes to Washington.








From BBC News, British police dismantle a criminal gang that was flying burglars in from Chile.  (I guess that they were doing the jobs that British crooks wouldn't do.)


From Dutch News, the man wanted for the murder of an 11-year-old boy at a campsite years ago has been arrested in Spain.  (This action is the equivalent of the recent arrest by ICE of a man wanted for murder in Mexico.)




From Total Croatia News, a Croatian soccer player refuses to wear an LGBT rainbow, citing Christianity.  (Although the situations are not strictly analogous, I'm reminded of a certain baker in Colorado.  If you read Croatian, read the story at Goal.)



From the Greek Reporter, after a 34-hour outage, power returns to the Greek island of Hydra.  (Full disclosure:  I visited Hydra when I was in Greece in 1999.)














And from The Babylon Bee, Trump honors the fallen McRib.
