United States President Donald Trump seems to want to both start a bunch of wars and get a Nobel Peace Prize. He’s actively threatening tariffs while agreeing to arm Ukraine and giving Moscow an ultimatum. But Trump probably shouldn’t be too concerned. It isn’t like Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded to those who actually seek peace anyway. Remember, Barack “drone bomber” Obama received one.

Clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months. On Wednesday, the Syrian government and one of the three spiritual leaders of the Syrian Druze community announced a ceasefire.

The one-year American Service Fellowship program is being run through the Harvard Kennedy School, which focuses on public policy issues. Officials expect at least half of the new class to be veterans and the rest to be made up of individuals with seven years of experience in public service jobs.
