Trump's conflict of interest: how will he deal with it?
Donald Trump ran, and won, on a promise to “drain the swamp” of Washington corruption, said Eugene Robinson in The Washington Post. But so far, he seems intent on deepening it. The president-elect owns or has stakes in around 500 companies, at least 111 of which do business overseas. This creates a massive and unprecedented conflict of interest. One of Trump’s biggest lenders, for example, is Germany’s Deutsche Bank, currently negotiating a multibillion-dollar settlement with the Justice Department over abuses that contributed to the 2008 market crash.

Cuba's “Maximum Leader”
With his olive fatigues, straggly beard and giant cigars, Fidel Castro was one of the most recognisable political figures of the 20th century. He was also one of the most extraordinary, said The Guardian. Having led a revolution in Cuba in 1959, he set about establishing a Marxist-Leninist state, just 90 miles from the US mainland. Billing himself as a defiant David to the US’s Goliath, he became a giant on the world stage himself. He negotiated on level terms with successive leaders of the two superpowers at the height of the Cold War, and helped bring them to the brink of nuclear war; he outlasted ten US presidents (despite repeated attempts to assassinate him). He inspired revolutions in Latin America, backed liberation movements in Africa, and became a potent symbol of rebellion for left-wingers everywhere. The likes of Jean-Paul Sartre revered him; and for years, his poster adorned thousands of student bedrooms.
