Post navigation President Donald Trump was set to arrive in Columbia on August 5th to serve as the keynote speaker at the South Carolina Republican Party’s annual fundraising event. The visit comes only a few days after Trump was arraigned for a criminal charge in New York. Trump is reportedly being paid an undisclosed sum for his appearance in Columbia. At least 9 people were killed and dozens were injured in a Russian airstrike on a blood transfusion center in Ukraine. This attack, which took place on Tuesday, constitutes yet another violation of a ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia. The responsibility for this tragedy lies with the Russian Federation and its continued aggression on Ukrainian soil.
