  1. Mikel Arteta: ‘We are upset and unsatisfied’ – boss on Arsenal’s season Mikel Arteta: ‘We are upset and unsatisfied’ – boss on Arsenal’s season Mikel Arteta says he is “unsatisfied and upset” that Arsenal are finishing another season without a major trophy. The Gunners manager delivered a powerful and emotional speech as he addressed fans at Emirates Stadium after Sunday’s 1-0 win over Newcastle – Arsenal’s final home match of the season. The result guarantees Arsenal a place in next season’s Champions League but it is now five years since the Gunners last won a major trophy – the FA Cup in 2020. They were comfortably beaten to the Premier League title by Liverpool, were knocked out of the Champions League and Carabao Cup in the semi-finals, and went out of the FA Cup in the third round. Arteta said he is ready to “give his life” to deliver a trophy for Arsenal. “Liverpool have a trophy – we don’t have a trophy,” Arteta, who has delivered one FA Cup since he was appointed head coach in December 2019, said in his media conference. “We are unsatisfied and upset. But I think we are on the right trajectory. “What I can promise is that I will do my very best [to win a trophy] and I will give my life, and get every drop of everybody here to squeeze it and get the best out of them.” Asked whether he thought fans still backed him, Arteta added: “That’s what I feel but they want more, they have expectations. We need to believe we are going to do it together.” Source link #Mikel #Arteta #upset #unsatisfied #boss #Arsenals #season Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

The pilot eventually told the tower: “We’re going to have to go back and re-land. We’ve got the door popped open… We can hardly hear you, sir.” They were then given permission to return to the airport, but did not answer. The tower then told the pilot that the plane was cleared to land on the runway.

  5. Achievements celebrated at City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Youth Awards Achievements celebrated at City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Youth Awards The community contributions of seven people and one organisation have been recognised at this year’s City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Youth Awards. Callum Howard, Nandini Gera, Nikola Ulrich, Lillian Kent, Heather Momo, Tehniesha Yorkshire, Mikaela Betts, and Kalgoorlie YMCA received awards at a ceremony at Kalgoorlie Town Hall on Saturday. Callum was named young tradesperson or apprentice of the year. The Hurlaw Contracting apprentice is working hard towards his trade qualification at Central Regional TAFE, while also helping those in need with donated labour and volunteering at the Nullarbor Muster. Nandini won the young community champion award for balancing her work as a career and life skills coach with volunteering, advocacy through the Ministerial Youth Advisory Council, and her dream of studying engineering. She recently earned an 80 per cent scholarship to the prestigious Outward Bound Australia Leadership Program and has been nominated for a WA NDIS Award for her work supporting students with disability. Young cultural leader Nikola Ulrich is well known for her bush tucker catering and the way she uses food to share stories and traditions. She mentors younger members of the community, promotes cultural understanding, and is dedicated to keeping language, heritage, and identity strong. Lillian and Heather shared the youth worker or volunteer of the year award. Lillian, the youngest member of the Golden You Leadership team, has shown outstanding dedication to mentoring young people across Kalgoorlie-Boulder. As a youth mentor, she plays a critical role in supporting participants at youth leadership camps, combining her lifeguard and swim teacher qualifications with an empathetic and steady presence. Lillian is known for her ability to connect with participants — especially those experiencing social anxiety — making them feel safe, included, and empowered. Heather, a youth co-ordinator at Kalgoorlie YMCA, has worked tirelessly in the youth sector for more than a decade. She is known for her outreach across regional communities, delivering youth programs in Leonora, Laverton, Coolgardie, and Kurrawang. Heather also plays a vital role in local events, supporting the city’s youth programs through The Y’s mobile bike workshop. Camera IconEastern Goldfields College student Tehniesha Yorkshire, 16, received the young achiever award at the 2025 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Youth Awards. Credit: Carwyn Monck/Kalgoorlie Miner Tehniesha was recognised with the young achiever award for her exceptional resilience, cultural pride, and leadership. She was selected by Kalgoorlie YMCA to undertake the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea — one of the most physically and emotionally demanding treks in the world. Despite facing difficult terrain and injury, she completed the journey with determination and courage, walking in the footsteps of Anzac soldiers and honouring their legacy. Tehniesha also stands out as a proud and passionate young leader who speaks confidently about her Aboriginal heritage and uses every opportunity to uplift her community and inspire others. Kalgoorlie YMCA was named youth organisation of the year for going above and beyond, providing life-changing opportunities for young people. It continues to deliver engaging programs in remote communities, partner with schools across Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and offer youth fitness and wellbeing programs that create lasting positive change. Mayor Glenn Wilson congratulated all the winners and nominees, saying the awards were a reminder of the incredible young people who called Kalgoorlie-Boulder home. “Whether it’s apprentices going the extra mile, youth leaders standing up for others, or volunteers giving their time to support the community, each of these young people is making a real difference, and that deserves recognition,” he said. “Hearing what they’ve already achieved is impressive. They’re helping shape the future of our city, and it’s a reminder to all of us to keep listening to, encouraging, and supporting our young people,” he said. “What stands out most is that every one of these recipients is leading not because they have to, but because they care. “That kind of contribution speaks to the heart of who we are as a community — it’s what makes Kalgoorlie-Boulder a special place to live.” This year, the winner of the Youth Precinct Art Competition was also announced, with Mikaela Betts announced as the winning artist. Mikaela’s artwork captures the spirit of connection and community among young people, reflecting her vision of a vibrant and inclusive space. As part of her prize, Mikaela will now take part in a mentorship program to help guide the installation of her artwork at the Kingsbury Park Youth Precinct.

  9. Norwegian Cruise Line employee sounds alarm on new cruise scam Norwegian Cruise Line employee sounds alarm on new cruise scam Scammers are getting more and more sophisticated in the methods they use to prey upon unsuspecting cruise passengers. Recent scam warnings have alerted cruisers to be wary of individuals or accounts offering discounted tickets on social media platforms, and even to be cautious about calls and emails that appear to come from their cruise line or travel agent. Related: Norwegian Cruise Line passengers are cashing in as demand drops Scammers have been known to pose as cruise lines to try to trick passengers into making a payment without verifying that they’re really communicating with the cruise line. But now, scammers appear to be targeting Norwegian Cruise Line passengers with a new kind of phone scam related to Norwegian’s cruise airfare deal. A Norwegian Cruise Line employee recently shared an urgent warning about the scam in the NCL community on Reddit. “Full disclosure: I work for NCL. I wouldn’t mention it except that this is important and I don’t want it to happen to anyone else,” Soft-Ad-385 wrote. “This information comes directly from a guest I spoke with this morning.” Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. New cruise airfare scam targets Norwegian Cruise Line passengers “This guest had received a call from a 301 area code from someone claiming to work in our air department. She offered to help book the guest’s large group of travelers on specific flights. The guest split the payment across two cards. Several days later, both cards were compromised,” Soft-Ad-385 shared. But the cruise airfare scam didn’t end there. “A month later, the scammer called them back to say, ‘Good news, the price went down. Just give me your new card numbers, I’ll book the lower price for you and then refund the original charge,’” Soft-Ad-385 explained. “This poor guest is now out close to twenty grand.” After sharing the details of the scam, Soft-Ad-385 outlined a few things cruisers should know that will help them avoid falling victim to the same type of scheme. Related: Royal Caribbean cruisers share surprising way to improve cruises The employee pointed out that Norwegian Cruise Line only has corporate offices in Miami, as well as sales and reservations offices in Sunrise, Florida and Mesa, Arizona. Employees, such as personal cruise consultants, will only call from phone numbers that begin with an area code from one of these areas, even if they work remotely. Miami’s area code is 305, Sunrise’s is 954 and Mesa’s is 480. The scam victim received a call originating from area code 301, which covers parts of Maryland. The employee also pointed out that Norwegian’s airfare deal, which offers free airfare for the second guest, does not guarantee specific flights like this passenger was offered by the scammer. “The Air Choice program does, but they almost never call the guest directly; the guest needs to contact them,” Soft-Ad-385 added. Be the first to see the best deals on cruises, special sailings, and more. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter. Posting cruise details on online forums can put you at risk The employee warned that even sharing too much about your cruise plans on Reddit or another online forum could cause you to be targeted by scammers. “Do not share details of your cruise reservation in any public forum. Yes, even here. Saying you’ll be on a particular sailing is usually safe, but make sure your name, number in your traveling party, and other identifying details are not included,” Soft-Ad-385 recommended. “A dedicated scammer can find your reservation or enough specifics to fake it. Keep your reservation number private!” Related: Virgin Voyages shares cruise scam warning The employee also encouraged cruisers to be suspicious of any call that appears to come from your cruise line. “If anyone claiming to be from the cruise line contacts you directly, don’t be afraid to push back. Ask them security questions that they should be able to answer easily. ‘I forget, what’s my balance due? When’s my final payment?’” Soft-Ad-385 suggested. “If it doesn’t feel right, hang up and dial us directly. The extra few minutes is worth it.” Your safest bet? Go to the official cruise line website and dial the phone number straight from there, or work with a travel agent you trust. (The Arena Group will earn a commission if you book a cruise.)

  11. US officials investigating fatal ******** Navy ship ****** US officials investigating fatal ******** Navy ship ****** Authorities in New York are investigating the site where a ******** sailing ship struck the Brooklyn Bridge for clues about how the fatal collision occurred. Two people on board were killed and at least 19 others were injured when the ******** Navy training ship crashed into the bridge on Saturday night. Police said early investigations showed the ship had lost power before the collision. Video showed the ship’s three tall masts crumbling as horrified onlookers watched from the shore. It’s not clear how the vessel came to approach the bridge, which authorities confirmed was not damaged by the strike. It had reopened to traffic late on Saturday. Police said the Cuauhtémoc ship had a 48.2m (158ft) mast height while the bridge had a 41.1m (135ft) clearance at its centre, according to the New York transport department’s website. Responders were able to remove at least 27 people from the ship for treatment, while all 277 personnel on the ship were accounted for, said New York fire authorities. The ship lost all three masts and has been moved to a nearby pier for investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team to to assist the US Coast Guard in the investigation, which is being coordinated between the US and Mexico governments. Mexico’s Navy Secretary Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles said in a statement the results of any investigation would be followed with “total transparency and responsibility”. The Cuauhtémoc left Acapulco, Mexico, on 6 April on a tour that included stops in New York and Aberdeen, Scotland, for the city’s Tall Ships race in July.

  13. Why did a a ******** tall ship smack into the Brooklyn Bridge? Why did a a ******** tall ship smack into the Brooklyn Bridge? NEW YORK — Federal transportation officials have launched an investigation into why a ******** navy tall ship hit the Brooklyn Bridge in a collision that snapped the vessel’s three masts, killed two crew members and left some sailors dangling from harnesses high in the air. The ship known as the Cuauhtemoc was visiting New York on a global goodwill tour when the accident occurred Saturday evening. The vessel could be seen in multiple eyewitness videos traveling swiftly in reverse toward the bridge near the Brooklyn side of the East River. Then its three masts struck the bridge and snapped, one by one, as the ship kept moving. It was unclear what caused the ship to veer off course. The National Transportation Safety Board announced that it was sending a team to investigate. Investigators were expected to arrive Sunday afternoon. While docked at Pier 35, Sunday, May 18, 2025 in New York, a sailor climbs the mast rigging on the Cuauhtémoc, a masted ******** Navy training ship that collided with the Brooklyn Bridge the night before. (AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura) New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the 142-year-old bridge escaped major damage, but at least 19 people aboard the ship needed medical treatment. Two of the four people who suffered serious injuries later died, Adams announced on social media. Videos showed heavy traffic on the span at the time of the 8:20 p.m. collision. No one on the bridge was hurt. The vessel, which was flying a giant ******** flag and had 277 people aboard, then drifted into a pier on the riverbank as onlookers scrambled away. Sailors could be seen aloft in the rigging on the damaged masts but, remarkably, no one fell into the water, officials said. Sydney Neidell and Lily Katz told The Associated Press they were sitting outside to watch the sunset when they saw the vessel strike the bridge. “We saw someone dangling, and I couldn’t tell if it was just blurry or my eyes. And we were able to zoom in on our phone, and there was someone dangling from the harness from the top for like at least like 15 minutes before they were able to rescue them,” Katz said. Just before the collision, Nick Corso took his phone out to capture the backdrop of the ship and the bridge against a sunset, Instead, he heard what sounded like the loud snapping of a “big twig.” Several more snaps followed. People in his vicinity began running and “pandemonium” erupted aboard the ship, he said. He later saw a handful of people dangling from a mast. “I didn’t know what to think, I was like, is this a movie?” he said. The ******** navy said in a post on the social platform X that the Cuauhtemoc was a training vessel. It said a total of 22 people were injured. ******** President Claudia Sheinbaum lamented the loss of the two crew members. “Our solidarity and support go out to their families,” Sheinbaum said on X. Mexico’s naval secretary, Adm. Raymundo Pedro Morales Ángeles, said in a statement Sunday that the navy was in contact with the families of victims and vowed to conduct a transparent investigation. He thanked the first responders in New York. The Brooklyn Bridge, which opened in 1883, has a nearly 1,600-foot (490-meter) main span supported by two masonry towers. More than 100,000 vehicles and an estimated 32,000 pedestrians cross every day, according to the city’s transportation department. Its walkway is a major tourist attraction. Traffic was halted after the collision but was allowed to resume after an inspection, city officials said. New York Police Department Special Operations Chief Wilson Aramboles said the ship had just left a Manhattan pier and was supposed to head out to sea, not toward the bridge. He said an initial report was that the ship lost power due to a mechanical problem, though officials cautioned that the information was preliminary. Videos show a tugboat was close to the Cuauhtemoc at the time of the ******. As midnight approached, the broken boat was moved slowly up the East River, going under and past the Manhattan Bridge, aided by a series of tugboats, before docking at a pier. Onlookers continued to gather on the waterfront to watch the spectacle. Each year the Cuauhtemoc sets out at the end of classes at the naval military school to finish cadets’ training. This year it left the ******** port of Acapulco, on the Pacific coast, on April 6, the navy said. It arrived May 13 in New York City, where visitors were welcome for several days, the ******** consulate said. The ship was scheduled to visit 22 ports in 15 nations over 254 days, 170 of them at sea.

  16. Hydropower Under Threat in Pakistan’s Water Crisis Hydropower Under Threat in Pakistan’s Water Crisis India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, a major water-sharing agreement brokered by the World Bank. The move came on April 23, within a day of a deadly shooting in Pahalgam, in the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, marking the first time the treaty has been paused since the pact’s inception in 1960. In response, Pakistan stated that an attempt to stop the flow of water would be considered an “act of war”. Tensions mounted between the two nuclear-armed nations in the following weeks, breaking out into four days of fighting, before quelling again with a ceasefire mediated by the U.S. announced on Saturday, with both nations pulling back from the brink. Water resources are an important part of the equation right now between the two countries. The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) divides the six main rivers of the Indus basin between the two nations, with the three westerly rivers — Indus, Jhelum and Chenab — supplying Pakistan with water, while the three easterly ones — Ravi, Beas and Sutlej — feed India. According to reporting by ABC, in addition to the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, India has also fast-tracked the construction of four new hydropower projects on rivers flowing into Pakistan and refused to share data on river flows with Islamabad. David Michel, Senior Fellow for the Global Food and Water Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, explains in an analysis that while India cannot completely stop the water flow to Pakistan in the near term due to its current infrastructure, it can stop the flow of information to its neighbor. He explains: “The IWT requires the parties to share a good deal of data on project development, river flows, and hydrological conditions. By suspending the treaty, India can also cease data sharing, depriving Pakistan of flood warnings, for example, prospectively hampering the nation’s water management and potentially imperiling Pakistani lives and livelihoods.” Observers cite concerns over India’s building of dams, including four which are on one of the westerly rivers intended to supply Pakistan, and flag the issue of what would happen to the flow of water to Pakistan if such infrastructure is expanded to enable more storage. Pakistan is dependent on the rivers of the Indus basin not only for some of its population’s drinking water, but also for agriculture, which accounts for almost a quarter of the country’s GDP, as well as for power. As Statista’s Anna Fleck shows in the chart below, using data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows, 34.6 TWh of electricity in Pakistan was sourced from hydropower in 2022 (latest available data), all of which comes from the Indus basin. You will find more infographics at Statista This makes it the second most important energy source for electricity in the country, following only after natural gas (47 TWh or around 27 percent). The next biggest energy sources are oil (16.6 percent), coal (15.9 percent and nuclear (15.6 percent).

  19. Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Will Go Parabolic in June (Hint: It’s Not Nvidia) Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Will Go Parabolic in June (Hint: It’s Not Nvidia) Tesla is planning to launch its first Robotaxi rides in Austin next month. Robotaxi represents a core part of the artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity for the company. If Tesla pulls off a successful launch, investors could cheer on the stock like there’s no tomorrow. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › After an incredible two-year run on the stock market, big tech hasn’t fared quite so well in 2025. Among the biggest laggards in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks is Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), whose shares have declined 15% year to date (as of May 15). While this sell-off makes Tesla one of the poorest performers among the “Magnificent Seven” stocks, that may soon change. Let’s explore why June is going to be such a pivotal month for Tesla’s future. And more importantly, I’ll take a look at more recent trends surrounding Tesla stock to help assess whether now is a good time to pounce on shares before they potentially go parabolic in a few weeks. Tesla derives the majority of its revenue and profits from selling electric vehicles (EVs). Unfortunately, Tesla’s EV business has hit a road bump, and growth has stalled. While most management teams wouldn’t be thrilled by these dynamics, Tesla CEO Elon Musk seems quite confident in the direction the company is headed. The reason? Musk’s vision isn’t just for Tesla to sell EVs. Rather, he has his sights set on building an autonomous vehicle fleet to ferry passengers around — an ambition known as Robotaxi. Per Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call, Musk is committed to launching the first Robotaxi rides next month in Austin, Texas. Image source: Getty Images. Robotaxi has been one of the pillars supporting the bull thesis around Tesla stock for years. Now, it seems like the company has finally built enough vehicles to launch its first paid service and compete with other ridehailing businesses such as Uber, Lyft, and Waymo. As an investor in Tesla myself, I am really excited about the Robotaxi launch. However, this is not the first time Tesla has hyped up a new product, and I know that remaining grounded right now is the prudent strategy because Tesla does have a history of missing deadlines. While the company often follows through on its ambitions, it’s not always according to Musk’s stated timeline. Since a core part of the AI thesis around Tesla is rooted in the Robotaxi business being successful, any delay in the launch is a red flag. Story Continues Let’s be optimistic here and say Tesla does pull off the launch next month. While that’s exciting, investors need to be realistic. It’s going to take time for Robotaxi to scale and acquire customers. This is precisely why Musk signaled to investors that “the real question from [a] financial standpoint is when does it really become material and affect [the] bottom line of the company.” According to him, Robotaxi will begin to “move the financial needle” toward the middle of next year. The fact that Robotaxi will initially be an immaterial contributor to Tesla from a financial standpoint is important. As is often the case with Tesla stock, shares experience fleeting volatility based on narratives — both positive and negative. If Tesla does indeed launch Robotaxi next month in Austin, my hunch is that shares will skyrocket. In fact, the chart below shows that Tesla stock has been creeping up as of late — and there’s no clear reason. Data by YCharts. Sure, positive developments around tariff negotiations are likely playing a role in Tesla’s recent gains (along with those of the broad market overall). But there is still little clarity around how these negotiations are affecting Tesla’s business specifically. At least with Robotaxi, Musk has already warned investors not to put too much weight on the early results, indicating that it will take time for the business to scale and become a meaningful new source of sales and profits. That said, expectations remain high, and if the Robotaxi launch is delayed or flops, Tesla stock could plummet. For these reasons, I suggest sitting on the sidelines regarding an investment in Tesla right now. Austin is only one market for Robotaxi, which is expected to become a global operation over time. If Robotaxi does prove to be a lucrative extension of Tesla’s EV business, investors will have ample opportunities to invest in the stock as the business evolves into more of an AI player than a car manufacturer.

  21. Warburton returns as Supercars chief after media stint Warburton returns as Supercars chief after media stint A global search has led to Supercars appointing a new chief executive from the past, with James Warburton to once again take over the reins. Warburton returns to Supercars as the replacement for Shane Howard after a five-year stint as Seven West Media boss. He will officially begin in his role on July 23, with Howard transitioning to a newly created role as director of motorsport. Warburton previously led Supercars from 2013 to 2017, his tenure including dropping reference to V8s in the championship’s title to open the door to new manufacturers and different engine types. “Supercars holds a very special place in *********** sport, and I’m honoured to be returning to lead the business into its next phase,” Warburton said in a statement. “This is a championship with passionate fans, incredible on-track action, and huge potential to grow. “The business has evolved significantly in recent years and I’m excited to build on the strong foundation already in place.” Warburton had also orchestrated a landmark broadcast rights deal with Fox Sports, which brought financial stability to the teams but was criticised by fans due to the mixture of pay TV and free-to-air broadcasts. He then left Supercars to join advertising company APN Outdoor before taking the helm at Seven West in 2019, overseeing long-term cricket and AFL broadcast deals and the acquisition of regional TV network Prime in 2021. Warburton left the media conglomerate earlier than planned in 2024 amid a tumultuous ******* for the network, which included allegations made during a defamation trial that the broadcaster had made payments to Bruce Lehrmann. His appointment as Supercars chief is the latest puzzle piece after a number of off-grid changes. Former chief operating officer Tim Watsford left his post in February to join NRL club St George Illawarra as their boss, with two new directors also welcomed to the Supercars board in January. Supercars action will continue in Perth on June 6-8 for round five of the championship. Triple Eight young gun Broc Feeney leads the series, followed by reigning champion Will Brown and Grove Racing’s Matt Payne.

  25. ‘An economic fallacy’: Rand Paul doesn't see the benefits of tariffs ‘An economic fallacy’: Rand Paul doesn't see the benefits of tariffs Sen. Rand Paul attacked the economic logic of President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy on Sunday — and agreed that the policies raise constitutional concerns. The Kentucky Republican said Trump’s sweeping tariffs on foreign trading partners are based on “an economic fallacy” about trade deficits and objected to the president’s move to pursue them without congressional approval during an interview on ABC’s “The Week.” “Well, tariffs are taxes, and when you put a tax on a business, it’s always passed through as a cost. So, there will be higher prices,” Paul said, arguing, as he has in the past, that unfettered global trade is enormously beneficial. “The only trade that means anything is the individual who buys something. That’s the only real trade. And that by very definition, if it’s voluntary, is mutually beneficial, or the trade doesn’t occur.” When asked about the legality of Trump’s tariffs, Paul seemingly sided with a constitutional provision citing Congress’s authority over taxation. “In the past, the court has allowed these things, but I think it’ll be an interesting thing because most tariffs in our history have been passed by Congress,” he said. “We’ve never had widespread tariffs that have been done by fiat by a president, and I object to that.” Paul is one of a few Republicans who hesitated to rally around Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs on foreign trading partners, which the administration rolled out in early April. But Trump ended up backtracking on the high-stakes levies, issuing a 90-day pause on the tariffs for every affected country except China in April. However, after a series of back-and-forth retaliatory measures, China and the U.S. came to a preliminary deal to significantly lower the levies on each other earlier this month. There are several legal challenges brewing against Trump’s tariffs. A recent lawsuit led by New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James and the top prosecutor of 11 other states asserts that the policies have “upended the constitutional order and brought chaos to the American economy.” Other plaintiffs include members of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, the New Civil Liberties Alliance in Florida, the Liberty Justice Center in the U.S. Court of International Trade and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Courts have previously upheld the legality of tariffs when they’re based on congressional authority. However, Trump’s decision to impose tariffs by himself has raised legal questions about whether he is exceeding his delegated power. “Now, we do have a long history, though, of both parties abdicating their responsibility on tariffs and granting power to Congress, which brings up another constitutional question, can Congress delegate powers given to it under the Constitution to the president?” Paul said.
