#DONALDTRUMP

US president Donald Trump was applauded by crowds in Warsaw after reaffirming the United States’ commitment to Nato. @Jasonlemiere noted: “Trump is now speaking in Warsaw to a lot of cheers. That’s because supporters were bussed in from all over Poland.” @Glennthrush shared: “Trump just reasserted his commitment to Article 5 – then hammered Nato members for not paying up. A shot at Germany, plaudits to the Poles.” @mattklewis pointed out: “Seeing some pundits being overly critical of Trump’s good speech in Poland. Credibility requires giving credit where due.” @anneapplebaum tweeted: “Missing word in Trump’s Warsaw speech: Democracy.”

In Brexit ‘no deal’ means ‘return to a distant past’.” @statsguyuk said: “Perhaps if Michel Barnier painted those messages on the side of a bus people would be more likely to take notice of them.”

Swedish car manufacturer Volvo became the first to announce that they will design and sell only electric or hybrid cars from 2019 onwards. @stevesi posted: “This is so cool! (Note Volvo owned by Chinese company; China is all-in electric. Detroit, not so much).” @petkocom observed: “Risky move, but it will pay off.” @uzorngoladi noted: “Volvo has announced production of only electricity powered vehicles by 2019. The oil that is binding us together will soon become useless.” @Andrew_frankel opined: “Volvo says its cars will all have some electrification by 2019, so papers say petrol is dead. I’ve read some cobblers before but this…”
