US President Donald Trump warns the US will cease to be a country if tariffs struck down

US President Donald Trump made an appearance on Tuesday, announcing that the US "Space Force" would be relocating to Huntsville, Alabama, which would now be dubbed "Rocket City".

Russia's 50-day grace period to achieve a ceasefire with Ukraine or face stiff economic penalties has come and gone. President Trump remains silent on the subject of retaliatory sanctions on Russia in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin once again flouting President Trump's demands, but Trump did note that he was "disappointed" in Putin.
