The president spent more than six hours at the government headquarters in closed-door meetings.

The convoy does have NATO recon aircraft above it. But no NATO warships in range to defend it. It will have to count on NATO fighters if attacked.

@EjquiujmiPlis Indeed, there is a good chance it will not be upheld but in this case I'm not sure it's a bad thing.

I wonder if affirmative action is still a relevant measure like it was when it was put in place.
