President Donald Trump recently pushed for a renovation of the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Soon after, news stories criticized the move, noting algae bloom and peeling paint. But now officials say the damage could have been caused by intentional vandalism.

In other news, the United Nations is facing a funding crisis, and some agencies are now weighing new methods to pay their bills, including with a global tax.

We’ll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.
