Summary

The Trump administration has taken the rare step of charging a group of ruling-party Mexican officials in U.S. federal court. The move puts Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum in a tough spot with her own political constituents. Also: today’s stories, including a look at why Beijing has considered – and practiced – a blockade of the Taiwan Strait, and whether the world is prepared for it; how the story of Joliet, Illinois, reflects the high times and the hardships of the famous Route 66; and how an unexpected encounter compels one writer to see his reclusive neighbor in a new light. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.
