President Donald Trump recently pushed for a renovation of the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Soon after, news stories criticized the move, noting algae bloom and peeling paint.

In other news, the United Nations is facing a funding crisis, and some agencies are now weighing new methods to pay their bills, including with a global tax.
