Lam Yik Fei for The New York Times 3. The World Trade Organization cut its forecasts for this year sharply, citing the U.S.-China trade war and a weakening global economy as contributors to a slowdown of global trade.

The closely watched decision is almost certain to be appealed and could end up in the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs, a group of Asian-American students rejected by Harvard, accused the college of violating federal civil rights law by holding Asian-Americans, who as a group get better test scores and grades than other races, to a higher standard. Edu Bayer for The New York Times 5.

The department has now identified the issue as a primary security threat, breaking with a decade of flagging attention and standing in stark contrast to President Trump, who has repeatedly dismissed white supremacy as an insignificant fringe movement. Above, white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. The department’s new strategy was published in a little-noticed document last month to guide law enforcement on emerging threats, and trickled down through recent speaking engagements by Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security.
