Understanding the Illegality of Trump’s Iran Threats
On April 7, the world breathed a collective sigh of relief as U.S. President Donald Trump announced a two-week cease-fire with Iran. Oil prices retreated and markets rallied rapidly on the news. But before the cease-fire was agreed, Trump engaged in an astounding rhetorical campaign in which, among other shocking things, he threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges.
Spanish Immigration Is Different
This month, Spain is set to launch a mass regularization program for migrants that could give legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented people living in the country. The scheme could become one of the most ambitious ever implemented in Europe. It puts Madrid at odds with much of the continent, which is instead tightening immigration rules.
