Trump's 'Golden Share' in U.S. Steel
The iconic American company, U.S. Steel was sold to Nippon Steel in Japan earlier this summer. The sale was years in the making and, on the campaign trail last year, President Trump opposed it.

Erika Beras from Planet Money explains what the president calls: a golden share.

On July 18, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) voted against the US defense appropriations bill. She also voted against an amendment to the bill submitted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that would have cut $500 million from funds for Israel’s Iron Dome.

in reply to Gina • • •enjoy!
While I do like my new responsibilities, thinking back of when I traveled more is pushing up old memories.
I think everybody should be able to travel. To see new things and talk to different people. That would solve a LOT of issues imo.
