THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN: India to take back 18k citizens residing illegally from US to placate Trump. “Like several other nations, India is working behind the scenes to appease the Trump administration and avoid the brunt of its trade threats. The crackdown on illegal migration has been a signature campaign pledge for Trump. Within hours of his inauguration Monday, the new president moved to fulfill that pledge as he pushed to end birthright citizenship and mobilize troops on the US-Mexico border.”

Right up there with compound interest is the power of the American consumer. Trump is willing to wield that power to get results from previously intractable foreign governments.
