In response to the recent ethnic unrest affecting the Bnei Menashe community in Manipur, India, American Jewish Committee's (AJC) Asia Pacific Institute (API) has announced a donation of $15,000 through AJC's Heilbrunn Humanitarian Relief Fund.
An American Jewish Committee delegation headed by AJC CEO Ted Deutch met with Uruguay President Luis Lacalle Pou, who leads a nation that has been a friend of Israel since the birth of the Jewish State. Deutch hailed the longstanding ties between Uruguay and Israel as a model to boost relations with other Latin American countries.
AJC is deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. The vast network of U.S.-Mexico economic and commercial ties, border security, and the flow of migrants are among the key issues that the two presidents were expected to discuss.
