Trump Tells Midterm Voters: ‘Pretend That I’m On the Ballot’
Summary
Trump pledged $5,000 stimulus checks and tax cuts at the GOP convention, framing the Iran conflict as necessary despite rising gas prices. Meanwhile, Iran escalated attacks on US forces as its oil exports dwindle, while the ECB and Fed face uncertainty over rate hikes amid inflation concerns. In tech, data center developers are turning to nuclear and geothermal energy to mitigate public backlash, driving uranium prices to an 18-year high.
