Obama to Pay a Symbolic Visit to Hiroshima Seventy years ago, the United States struck the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There's still dispute over whether that was necessary to end World War II. But the force of those blasts, the property damage and loss of life, were so devastating that no such weapon has ever been used again. Jimmy Carter is the only former President to visit Hiroshima. Later this month, after a summit conference of seven industrialized nations, President Obama will the first to go there while still in the White House.

To the Point
What happens when America retreats from the world? Is President Trump taking his "America First" agenda to extremes, withdrawing the country from the international stage on trade and climate change, distancing America from its traditional allies across the Atlantic and even threatening to physically isolate the country through the building of a wall along its southern border? León Krauze guest hosts.

How was the trip? President Trump's travels got less fun as he went from the Middle East to Europe.
