Trump innser at høyere matpriser skader ham, og ga derfor noen lettelser i toll på fredag. Dermed innrømmer han at det faktisk er amerikanske forbrukere som betaler den, ikke eksportørene. Har skrevet om dette og andre hendelser i handelskrigen her: snoen.substack.com/p/billigere-...

Sist jeg var hos legen fortalte han at min blodprøve var alldeles fantastisk - aldri sett noe lignende, helt genial, faktisk.
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
