Really sorry to hear that.:aok:Quote:

Don’t think I’ll travel there anytime soon.

Yes there’s been a few people detained and refused entry for content that’s been found on phones.Quote:

It’s def real, the guy seemed genuine. Doubts there is anything sensitive on his phone anyway but had to tell his employers because they took the emails.Quote:

There’s been numerous examples reported of people being detained after they’ve surrendered their phones at immigration. Any anti-Trump comments found and you’re done. People from all walks of life.Quote:

White house just said any reports of pauses or 0% tariffs are "fake news". He's just said that if China don't back down on retaliatory tariffs by tomorrow then China will go from 34% to 50%Quote:

The only people the tariffs will hurt are the American public and nations that do retaliatory tariffs are just hurting their own public. That goes for every nation bar China, who are winning internationally from any trade wars. They should try and get lots of 0% deals in place in the meantime
I would love to see the brexiteers reaction to this.Quote:

Maybe this is the reason why.
Britain is in a very perilous state, although I think the rumours wil probably have came from Musk saying there should be synergy between Europe and USA.
Whether musk and trump are still besties is another subject
Wonder what the pound was at in 2014 when we were threatened with the Euro if we voted Yes?Quote:

The Donald needs to hold firm and get those extra 50% tariffs placed on China. And we need the EU to get there response out there now for him to go higher again. Americans need to feel real pain.Quote:
