President Trump want Alcatraz reopened as prison

The US President Donald Trump has ordered the reopening of Alcatraz prison. In a social media post, he said "the reopening of Alcatraz will serve as a symbol of Law, Order and Justice."

President Trump has also announced he will impose a 100 percent tariff on non-US movies, describing the country's movie industry as "dying a very fast death."

And partial results from the re-run of Romania's presidential election suggest the nationalist candidate, George Simion, is in first place.
