BERLIN - “Today, we must face the reality of what the U.S. government’s actions and announcements mean for Ukraine, for Europe and for the world. Not to act would mean putting the security of our country and our continent at risk.” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

The removal of the database happened quietly, but it is worthy of notice in its own right. It signals the Trump admin's intention to not only spare the president’s supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record

Nicaragua’s state media, controlled by the family of the president, Daniel Ortega, declared that “Trump turned off the faucet” for what they labeled “terrorists."

In Hungary, Orbán – fresh from December meetings with Trump and Emu – celebrated what he termed the end of “globalist Soros” organizations.
