Put yourself in president truman’s shoes. if you were president at the end of world war ii, which major issues would you focus on fixing? america improve manufacturing taking care of veterans’ medical issues providing jobs for returning soldiers building housing for returning soldiers labor unions work together with businesses americans afford what they need

When a world war has just finished, the country's resources are depleted. So, it is difficult to provide jobs and houses for returning soldiers because these would require manpower and monetary resources. The period after the war is dedicated to picking up the scrap and trying to make do with what's available through cooperation. So, for me, the most appropriate course of action is helping labor unions work together with businesses.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
