Scot Bertram | Democrats are Willing to Sacrifice The American People Just to Win

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One —  President Trump says the U.S. and China have reached a one-year-deal with China on critical rare earth minerals and some tariffs.  Trump announced the deal after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.  The deal would see fentanyl-linked tariffs on China lowered by ten percent, cutting tariffs on Chinese exports cut from 57 percent to 47 percent.

 

Two ---  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is joining lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture for suspending SNAP.  The program helps more than 40 million Americans buy food.  The suit claims SNAP is being unlawfully suspended due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.  Nearly 13-percent of Michigan households receive SNAP benefits.

 

And number three --- A federal judge is ordering Greenpeace to pay 345-million dollars in damages over protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline.  The ruling cuts the original jury award in half after Energy Transfer accused the group of damaging its reputation during demonstrations nearly a decade ago.  The judge said some of the initial damages had no legal basis.
