President Donald J. Trump meets with locals at the Machine Shed in Iowa.

🇺🇸 No Tax on Tips is already putting more money back where it belongs—in the pockets of hardworking servers across the country!

Trump: "I should've gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don't say that. I saved millions and millions of people. And don't let anybody tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots, ok? It's in Norway. Norway control the shots. It's a joke. They lost such prestige. That's why I have such respect for Maria doing what she did. She said, 'I don't deserve the Nobel Prize. He does.'"

Trump just vowed to pummel Iran back to the 'Stone Ages.' 🌍 The rhetoric is escalating and the world is watching. Is this the path to peace or total war? #Trump #IranConflict #BreakingNews

The price of gold has jumped above $5,000 an ounce for the first time as Donald Trump’s chaotic policies and proclamations drive more investors to seek safe harbour in the precious metal.

Gold reached a record high of $5,100 (£3,723) on Monday morning, before easing back to settle up 2.2% at $5,091.

The moment came after Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariffs if Ottawa made “a deal with China”, and after the US president’s showdown with Europe over the future of Greenland.

With global financial markets already jittery, there are also rising fears of another US shutdown after Democrats threatened funding for the Department of Homeland Security after federal immigration agents killed a man in Minneapolis on Saturday.
