Trump secures historic Greenland deal -a "huge win"
Trump struck a historic deal with Denmark and Greenland giving the US "permanent" military access, basing and overflight rights on the Arctic island. US can build military installations on the strategic island without approval; Russia, China and other non-NATO countries are barred from bases or troops. The deal does not transfer ownership to the US, but officials say it "permanently guarantees US security interests."
Everything's more expensive ahead of midterms-despite Trump's claim
Trump says "almost every item" is getting cheaper, but inflation remains an issue as the Fed raises rates to 3.75%-4%. Farmers face new diesel prices and higher fertilizer costs, while the $38B Iran war will likely push inflation higher next year. Trump also wants to cut $5,000 checks to every American, which could add to price pressures. Even Fed Chair Warsh said that underlying trends haven't meaningfully improved.
