A trader works on the floor at the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange, December 30, 2019. This suggests the bull market may still have some room to run. Investment flow data shows that individual investors were largely net sellers of equities in 2019, even as corporate buybacks helped push the market to record highs.

President Donald Trump’s killing of an Iranian military leader will haunt him and drag the U.S. into an “endless war,” according to one analyst at U.S think tank the Cato Institute. The U.S. assassinated Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani late last week with an airstrike on Iraq’s Baghdad Airport. Iran retaliated Wednesday by firing missiles at two Iraqi bases where American soldiers are stationed, although no casualties were reported and U.S. forces suggested there had been minimal damage.

President Donald Trump on Thursday is expected to propose sweeping changes to a landmark environmental protection law to make it easier to approve of major infrastructure projects like oil and gas pipelines.

The change would be the first in

Iranian officials had originally suggested that the Boeing 737-800 fell from the skies because of a mechnical failure. “It was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood,” Trump said of the crash, which occurred soon after Iran launched missile attacks on bases in Iraq that house U.S. and coalition forces. “I

Sen. Cory Booker said a looming impeachment trial and other pressing issues in Washington could deal a “big, big blow” to his Democratic presidential campaign by keeping him away from Iowa in the final weeks before the Feb. 3 caucuses. “It’s going to be a challenging four weeks in the caucus for us,” Booker said in an interview on The Associated Press’ “Ground Game” podcast. “If this trial lasts two weeks, that is literally dozens of events we won’t be able to do,” Booker said.

President Donald Trump could use tense relations with Iran to his advantage — as long as the situation doesn’t get out of control, an analyst told CNBC Thursday.
