Criticized, Trump retreats and puts an end to the separation of migrant families in the US

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on Wednesday to prevent children of undocumented immigrants arriving at the southern border from being separated from their parents.

"We will have strong and strong borders, but we will keep families together," he told reporters at the White House.

Trump added that he did not like "the show or the feeling" of families who suffer when separated.

The executive order stipulates that the government will continue to apply "strictly" its immigration laws, but "will maintain family unity, arresting foreign families when there are appropriate and lawful resources."

The new migration policy of the Trump administration has generated criticism in the international community.

Previously, the US did not judge parents and adult members of a family who entered the country without children with documents, to avoid separating families.

Instead, they were given a date to appear before an audience and be released, a procedure their critics defined as "pick up and drop."

The separation of the undocumented from their children began after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in April a "zero tolerance" policy on illegal immigration.


Under the new policy, adults crossing the undocumented border are sent to prisons while their children are placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Since mid-April, about 2,000 children have been separated from their families on the US-Mexico border and sent to detention centers with cage-like spaces

US media says what can happen if US ships approach Russian enclave

The North American aircraft carriers of the Nimitz and Ford class are too bulky to carry out missions in the Baltic Sea, which would make them vulnerable when approaching the Russian city of Kaliningrad, wrote the American magazine The National Interest.

According to the edition, US aircraft carriers have limited capabilities in a likely European arena for military action. The main threat to them, according to the magazine, are anti-ship cruise missiles based on naval and coastal.

In addition, Russia has built-in anti-missile P-800 Oniks missiles of varying base, which are capable of performing precision attacks against any target.

According to the data of the United States magazine, the range of action of the Oniks missiles launched from the export version of the Bastion system corresponds approximately to 300 km.


The "domestic" version of the Bastion is capable of launching missiles at a distance of about 600 km, which means that most of the Baltic region can be hit by the Russian coastal arms.

Moreover, according to The National Interest, although several Russian warships in the Baltic Sea are obsolete, they are endowed with powerful antinavio weapons. In addition, the Kaliningrad region has other means of protection, including S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, which also pose a threat to the US in the event of a conflict.
