Today, we give you a conversation from our storied Monitor Breakfast series, in which a presidential hopeful shares his thoughts on moving America forward. We juxtapose that with an update on how the first year of Trump 2.0 has stirred concerns in Europe of financial and political instability. The Supreme Court considers the case of a Federal Reserve Board member whom President Donald Trump wants to remove, and in China, blue-collar workers wonder when they can retire.
We end with ingenuity and gratitude in Nigeria. Our writer, Violet Ikong, introduces us to a man whose creativity helped build a shelter for repatriated male immigrants who were previously shunned after being returned home. Now, they get temporary housing and learn marketable skills that will add value to the world. Please enjoy all of these stories.
