Summary

President Trump told U.S. troops he’s prepared to send “more than the National Guard” into America’s cities, the president’s tariffs have begun impacting the price of food staples like beef and bananas, and a squirrel named Chunkosaurus Rex was declared the winner of the inaugural Fat Squirrel Week in Texas. Acclaimed actor Colin Farrell talks about living in Macau for two months while shooting his latest film, “Ballad of a Small Player,” and how he landed the role in part because of a chance meeting in a sauna with the film’s director. “Ballad of a Small Player” is streaming on Netflix.
