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. But now, he's approved the sale. And the deal also gives the president himself an outsized say in the future of U.S. Steel.

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.
