------------------------------------------------------------

Housed at the Sangnam-ni missile operating base, North Korea’s Hwasong-10 intermediate-range ballistic missile has a 3000+ kilometer strike radius. Located 250 kilometers north of the DMZ, Sangnam-ni is one of approximately 20 North Korean missile operating bases that have never been declared by North Korea.

** $50 Million in Humanitarian Aid
------------------------------------------------------------

Over $50 million in humanitarian aid from the United States and international partners is waiting at the Venezuelan border. Nicolas Maduro still controls Venezuela's military, which will have the final say whether humanitarian aid enters the country.

** $11.3 Billion for Space Force
------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, President Trump announced the formal creation of the Space Force as a corps within the Department of the Air Force. CSIS’s Aerospace Security Project estimated it would cost the United States $11.3 billion to create a new corps to focus on space operations. Notably, only $300 million of that will come from new funding, with the remaining $11 billion transferred from existing space operations.

** 40,000 Acres of Coral Reefs
------------------------------------------------------------

Over the last 5 years, giant clam harvesting, dredging, and artificial island building have destroyed over 40,000 acres of coral reefs in the South China Sea. More than 50% of all fishing vessels in the world operate in the South China Sea, where total fish stocks have been depleted by a range of 70% to 95% since the 1950s.

** 13 Opposition Party Victories
------------------------------------------------------------
