USA: Zu Trumps Zollchaos kommt nun der Vorwurf des Insiderhandels Donald Trump setzt seine Zölle aus, die Kurse steigen rasant. Die Demokraten vermuten Insiderhandel.

This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up.
