The Star Tribune headline states, “Live: Suspect identified in Minneapolis shooting that left 3 dead and 6 injured,” focusing on the suspect’s identification and ongoing investigation processes.

He is using these tariffs to assert more authority over these trading partners and at the same time, put up taxes, without using the word TAX.

Starmer will be doing Trump’s dirty work in Europe, if he wants to keep his job.
