Explosion Rocks Bus Terminal In New York (photos)

By -
One suspect has been arrested after an explosion near New York City’s Port Authority bus terminal on Monday morning, the New York Police Department has said.

NYPD said several people were injured, stating that a device went off and there was a person strapped with a bomb. NYC Office of Emergency Management tweeted there was “police activity” near West 42nd Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues and advised commuters to expect delays.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanderssaid President Donald Trump has been briefed about the incident.Why Trump’s response matters: President Trump had repeatedly shown his disapproval towards the immigration policy of the United States of America.

Trump had said America would be safer without immigrants from certain countries, which he banned entry from. POTUS, who is fond of blaming similar occurrences on immigrants, mostly Muslims will most likely make similar comments on this incident.

The President is also known to describe White bombers and gunmen, as a ‘demented man’, instead of terrorists.

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project(SERAP) has sent an urgent appeal to two UN special rapporteurs urging them to “prevail upon the government of President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to reach an agreement to end the ongoing strike action by ASUU.

For the first time in decades, trade barriers appear to be increasing around the world. Brexit negotiations have helped to create an environment of uncertainty, while the introduction of American tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum – along with the resulting retaliatory measures – have created more tangible barriers to international trade. Now, there is now even rhetoric coming from D.C. about adding tariffs to   $200 billion of goods   coming from China, and NAFTA renegotiations have long been on President Trump’s agenda. The G7 meeting in Canada also gave recent indications on the state of the existing trade atmosphere. For the first time in recent memory, the meeting of Western leaders was tense, resulting in name-calling and accusations, giving the impression that the worst could be yet to come. Who are the world's biggest exporters? As the environment around trade shifts, it’s worth noting the countries that have the biggest stakes in inter...
