## Resource

Project Freedom has appeared to die in the waters of the Persian Gulf just two days after the US president announced it. It was supposed to be the Trump administration’s grand plan to fix the world's oil shortages. The main US cabinet members spent Tuesday shouting loud and proud about the plan. Now the president has kiboshed it. What next? It all comes on a day which had been dominated by Marco Rubio's performance at the White House briefing room podium. Is this the week he becomes the pretender to Trump's presidential throne? And - Donald Trump gets fitness tests back on the school curriculum. Now American children will be ranked on how fit they are. Will that successfully tackle the country's spiraling obesity crisis? You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel .
