Washington, DC – Three days, three countries, hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and a geopolitical shift in the United States’s approach to the region: Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East has been eventful. This week, the United States president visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in the first planned trip of his second presidency, after attending Pope Francis’s funeral last month.

The word “historic” was used more than a few times by US…

(BOE Report) – China has emerged as the top customer for Canadian oil shipped on the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline, ship tracking data showed, as a U.S. trade war has shifted crude flows in the year since the pipeline started operating. China’s new interest in Canadian oil comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war has strained relations between longtime allies Washington and Ottawa. It also reflects the impact of U.S. sanctions on crude from countries like Russia and Venezuela. Canada is the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, but its main oil-producing province of Alberta is landlocked with limited access to…

If you ask him, no.The Meta CEO said on a recent episode of the podcast “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von” that he does “have an underground tunnel” at his ranch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, though he resisted characterizing it as a bunker.”There’s this whole meme about how people are saying I built this, like, bunker underground.
