BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) – When President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year, he was eager to pick up where he left off by strengthening ties with Europe’s right wing. But now many of those same factions are expressing open revulsion at the Iran war, rupturing relationships that were supposed to usher in a new international order.

Excerpts from recent editorials in the United States and abroad:
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) – Worshippers were able to pray again at Jerusalem’s holy sites Thursday after Israel lifted restrictions it imposed on large public gatherings throughout the war with Iran nearly six weeks ago. Jerusalem’s police said on Wednesday that they would lift restrictions on all holy sites and deploy hundreds of officers.
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) – The Iran war has exposed deep vulnerability in the global economy: dependence not just on oil, gas and coal for fuel, but on petrochemicals that underpin everything from food production to plastic packaging.
