Just before Christmas, Prince Harry called his father to propose a new arrangement for him and his wife. Prince Charles asked for a written proposal to discuss but fears of a leak forced the plan public before the queen had approved. ⁦@MarkLandler⁩ https://t.co/Ani4QF7B66 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump backs away from further military confrontation with Iran, saying last night’s missile barrage harmed no Americans. “Iran appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world,” he says. https://t.co/hnqD20VRyA — PolitiTweet.org
