The Trump Administration Announces New Policy Towards Cuba
The Trump administration announced a new policy towards Cuba on Wednesday, which will roll back many of the Obama-era changes. The policy will restrict travel to the island and prohibit trade with companies that do business with the Cuban government. It will also allow for more private enterprise on the island, and increase American tourism to Cuba. The new policy reverses Obama’s decision to normalize relations with Cuba and opens up a rift in relations between two longtime enemies.

North Korea Announces Plans To Test An Insta-Nuke
The announcement comes as tensions continue to escalate between the two countries over North Korea’s nuclear program. If successful, the install-nuke would be a significant step forward for North Korea’s weapons capabilities and could significantly increase their global threat.
This development follows weeks of heated rhetoric between North Korea and the United States. In response to UN sanctions, North Korea announced plans to launch a missile near Hawaii, which US President Donald Trump called “a dire situation.” Trump then warned Kim Jong Un that the United States'” militaries are ready if needed. “
The announcement of the installed nuke comes at a time when many experts are skeptical of Pyongyang’s ability to build such a device. While the prospect of an instant nuke raises significant security concerns, it is also important to remember that Kim Jong Un is only testing his capability and does not yet have a fully operational weapon.
Thankfully, there is still time to avoid this disaster. Experts are urging people worldwide to take action and prepare for the impending cataclysm. In addition to preparing for natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes, individuals should also be ready for potential asteroid impacts by stocking up on supplies such as food and water, building an emergency shelter, and creating an evacuation plan.
While 2018 CB1 may not be the only threat Earth faces in the coming years, it’s one of the most serious. We can avoid a world-ending event if everyone takes simple precautions like these.
