WORLD NEWS OCT. 28, 2019: ISIS STRIKE WILL BOOST TRUMP’S CREDIBILITY, AT LEAST IN SHORT TERM
ISIS STRIKE WILL BOOST TRUMP’S CREDIBILITY, AT LEAST IN SHORT TERM
The killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in northern Syria by American forces is a boost for President Donald Trump at a time when his foreign policy decisions and claims have been questioned amid an impeachment inquiry conducted by the opposition-controlled House.
While the unrelated impeachment inquiry will rumble on, the successful operation will at least temporarily placate critics – importantly including those like Senator Lindsey Graham from the Republican Party – alarmed that Mr Trump’s recent pullback of US troops from north-eastern Syria may create room for ISIS to rebound.
The operation has strong parallels to the 2011 raid in Pakistan that killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. In the wake of that raid, the American public’s support for then President Barack Obama rose sharply.
Whether the boost lasts is the question, analysts said.

HOPES TO ENDORSE BREXIT DELAY TO JAN 31 WITH EARLIER DEPARTURE POSSIBLE
The 27 European Union countries that will remain after Brexit hope to agree on Monday to delay Britain’s divorce until January 31 with an earlier departure possible should the factious UK Parliament ratify their separation deal, sources said.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson last week reluctantly requested the three-month delay until the end of January, 2020, after the Parliament’s lower House of Commons refused to swiftly approve a new Brexit deal he had agreed with the bloc.
Any postponement to Brexit can only be granted unanimously by the 27 and French objections have so far prevented a decision as Johnson spars with lawmakers over calling an early election.
