According to Elsen, UPS employs around 800 people. “This affects drivers as well as parcel sorters and staff responsible for customs formalities,” Elsen reportedly said. “It’s appalling to plunge all these families into uncertainty a week before the summer holidays,” Elsen stressed. “These aren’t the sort…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) discussed waiving energy sanctions for Iran and unfreezing funds and said that “In order to get Iran to sign that agreement for no more nuclear weapon development, no future enrichment, we had to give something.” And “I hope that they use it to buy beef from Kansas, but time will tell.

Right now, the money we’re releasing, the sanction money, will be used for humanitarian purposes.” Co-host Kailey Leinz asked, “Iran is already getting…

Although both sides of the referendum had their specific issues of concern, with Vote Leave focusing…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Fox News co-host Lawrence Jones stated that the Iran MOU “doesn’t seem like it’s much of a deal,” because when you discuss it with President Donald Trump and “go point for point of things that are actually in the document, he disputes so [much] of it.” Jones said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:00] “The Iranian radical Islamists are going to be radical Islamists, and they’re going to go to their population and try to project strength.

The White House would prefer Congress handle the Iran war’s endgame something like this: Pony up, and don’t ask too many questions. That approach is grating on many congressional Republicans, who are chafing at the idea that President Donald Trump’s administration is asking for hundreds of billions of dollars in fresh military funding without briefing most of Congress on the cease-fire agreement Trump signed last week.
