WASHINGTON (AP) — Pressure is mounting on Bernie Sanders to end his campaign for president, with Democratic Party leaders raising alarms that his continued presence in the race is undermining efforts to beat presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump this fall.
The new concerns come after Sanders' recent wins over front-runner Hillary Clinton in Indiana and West Virginia. While those victories have provided his supporters a fresh sense of momentum heading into next week's primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, they did almost nothing to help Sanders cut into Clinton's nearly insurmountable lead in the delegates who will decide their party's nomination.
BOSTON – Donald Trump's plan to slap punitive import taxes on countries like China and Mexico would lead to the erection of global trade barriers and impose "truly catastrophic" costs on the poorest American households, according to a study released Thursday.
The New York billionaire and presumptive Republican presidential nominee seems to love playing the trade card in claiming overly conciliatory agreements with nations such as China and Mexico have stacked the deck against the U.S. He has blamed job losses on the deals along with what he describes as a decline in American competitiveness in the global economy.
