Kazakhstan will join the Abraham Accords between Israel and Arab and

Trump announced the move Thursday night. It is largely symbolic as
Kazakhstan has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992 and is
much farther geographically from Israel than the other Abraham Accord
nations -- Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates. Those
countries agreed to normalize relations with Israel as a result. Trump

China seeks to project power far beyond its coast with the new Fujian

China has commissioned its latest aircraft carrier after extensive sea

one that experts say will help it expand its influence and reach
farther beyond its own waters. China's official Xinhua news agency
reported Friday that the new vessel was commissioned on Wednesday. The
Fujian is China's third carrier and the first that it has both
designed and built itself. It is perhaps the most visible example so
far of leader Xi Jinping's massive military overhaul and expansion
that aims to have a modernized force by 2035 and one that is "world
class" by mid century -- which most take to mean capable of going
