On This Day in American History
On January 27, three NASA astronauts, Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chafee are killed in a horrific fire during a launch simulation exercise for the Apollo 1 mission. The tragedy caused NASA to reassess many aspects of the Apollo program, and while it was a major setback, in December of 1968, Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to reach lunar orbit, and less than a year after that, Apollo 11 delivered the first men to the surface of the moon.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned British Prime Minister Boris Johnson of “serious consequences” if he allows the Chinese telecom giant Huawei a role in building Britain’s 5G phone network, according to officials on both sides of the Atlantic.

With just over a month to go before Israel’s next election, both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and chief rival Benny Gantz are holding separate meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington Monday.

VIDEO: U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike earlier this month that killed the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani. Trump said Soleimani was “plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel.” It was a move that lawmakers criticized as putting the U.S. at the brink of war. But some U.S. veterans of the Iraq War and their families have a different view.
