June 16 – The United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary next month, but a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that nearly two-fifths of Americans believe the country cannot continue for another 250 years. The four-day survey concluded on Monday. The poll showed that 38% of respondents (including 40% of Democrats and 26% of Republicans) believe the United States will not continue as a unified nation in 250 years. Two-thirds of respondents (including 85% of Democrats and 50% of Republicans) said they agree with the statement that "American democracy is at risk of failure," up from 57% in a survey conducted last August. The percentage of Americans who believe the United States is the best country in the world is declining. 30% of respondents believe the United States is the greatest country in the world, down from 38% in a November 2017 survey during Trumps first term. A majority of Americans (including three-quarters of Democrats and half of Republicans) believe that the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States have become too politicized.Citigroup: A de-escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran should accelerate the growth of liquefied natural gas exports from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.Statoil: Targets to achieve daily production of 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent by 2030.US President Trump: Russia should make a deal.
