Though President Trump has promised to put America first, professor of political science Rosemary Kelanic said in reality, the current administration’s policies are closer to “Trump first” than they are to “America first.” “I think that [Trump] conflates his personal interests with the interests of the United States,” Kelanic said. “He doesn’t really draw a distinction between what

For weeks, the Syrian civil war has dominated headlines. The conflict has taken more than 320,000 lives and left more than 6.5 million internally displaced.
