President Donald Trump is delivering his first military commencement address since returning to office. The Republican president is set to speak to West Point’s graduating class on Saturday morning. Trump gave the commencement address at West Point in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president urged the graduating cadets to “never forget” the soldiers who fought a war over slavery during his remarks, which came as the nation was dealing with the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Trump also paid tribute to the military academy’s history and its famed graduates, including Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Trump says US Steel will keep HQ in Pittsburgh
President Donald Trump says U.S. Steel will keep its headquarters in Pittsburgh as part of what he called a “partnership” between the American steelmaker and Japan-based Nippon Steel, which sought to buy it. Trump's statement Friday left it vague as to whether he's approving Nippon Steel’s bid after vowing to block it, but investors took it as a positive sign, sharply pushing up U.S. Steel’s shares. The companies issued approving statements, but didn't describe terms of the deal.
