One advantage with Trump's anti-European "National" Security Strategy is that it clarifies to all Europeans that Trump hates Europe.
Thus, Europe should stop listening to this hateful & self-enriching man & seize all Russian state assets in Europe asp & pass on to Ukraine!

Frank Gehry, legendary Canadian-American architect, dies aged 96
The architect, whose work included the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, died after a brief illness
Frank Gehry, one of the most influential and distinctive talents in American architecture, died on Friday at his home in Los Angeles following a brief respiratory illness, his chief of staff confirmed. He was 96.
Gehry, the most recognizable American architect since Frank Lloyd Wright, was one of the first to embrace the potential of computer design, and pioneered a distinctively exuberant style of bravura power, whimsical and arresting collisions of form. His most famous work remains the Guggenheim Museumin Bilbao, a fantastical, titanium-clad composition on the Nervión River which received international acclaim upon its opening in 1997, heralding a new era of emotive architecture.

US vaccine committee scraps recommendation for hepatitis B shot in newborns
A group of vaccine advisers to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday voted to remove the broad recommendation that all newborns in the U.S. receive a hepatitis B vaccine, in one of the most sweeping changes to vaccine policy under Kennedy's leadership so far. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on which public health recommendations to adopt.
