Chapter 2: What recent military actions has the U.S. taken against ISIS in Syria?
It's the latest attack on Islamic State militants following the December deaths of two U.S. soldiers, according to the U.S. Central Command. And this attack comes after President Trump vowed to do big damage to the militants behind the deadly attack of two U.S. Army soldiers and a U.S. interpreter mid-December. Now, Since that December 13 attack, the U.S.
and allies have carried out multiple strikes against Islamic State, including large-scale airstrikes on more than 70 targets across Syria and the killing or capturing of nearly 25 Islamic State operatives. Anti-ice protesters are assembling across the U.S. after shootings in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon.
Thousands of people marching in Minneapolis to protect the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer and the shooting of two protesters in Portland. Minnesota leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, urging demonstrators to remain peaceful.
I have seen community members sort of step into the breach, recognizing that there are others out there, agitators that are trying to rile up large crowds. And not only have they not taken the bait, they have pushed others back from the brink to say, hey, you know what? This is what Donald Trump wants. He wants us to take the bait.
Frey also says those who cause damage to property or put others in danger will be arrested. Minneapolis gathering one of hundreds of protests in towns and cities cross-country over the weekend planned with protesters carrying signs saying de-ice Minnesota and ice melts in Minnesota. In Iran...
Protests raging last night with online videos showing violence despite a threat from the country's theocracy to crack down on demonstrators. After shutting down the internet and cutting telephone lines off to the world, at least 65 people have been killed.
in the protests that began in late December over Iran's ailing economy and have really morphed into the most significant challenge to the government there in years. President Trump declaring a national emergency and issuing a directive meant to block claims on oil revenue from Venezuela.
This executive order the president signed this weekend is meant to safeguard Venezuelan oil revenue held in U.S. Treasury accounts, blocking it from the Latin American country's creditors and preventing its seizure to satisfy debts or other legal claims. Meantime, President Trump says he sort of formed a deal on Venezuela with oil executives during a meeting at the White House yesterday.
They're going to be going in with hundreds of billions of dollars in drilling oil, and it's good for Venezuela, and it's great for the United States. Even so, some companies like Exxon are apparently still somewhat skeptical, but the administration says Chevron is already making headway and could boost its cash flow by as much as $700 million a year.
