'Trump will be gone in three years': Top US Democrats try to reassure Europe
'Trump will be gone in three years': Top Democrats try to reassure Europe US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the centre of attention at the Munich Security Summit, as European leaders wondered apprehensively what tone he would strike in his remarks on Saturday. While his speech did not fully allay their concerns, it has been viewed as a reassurance to allies that while US relations may have frayed under Donald Trump, they will not break. Rubio's was not the only American political voice at the security summit, however. And even if the secretary of state's remarks had not been so well-received - if he had sharply criticised Europeans the way Vice-President JD Vance did at the conference last year - there were other American politicians doing their best impression of the Persian poet, counselling: This too shall pass.

The US economy is growing - so where are all the jobs?
The US economy is growing - so where are all the jobs? When 42-year-old Jacob Trigg lost his job as a project manager in the tech industry he didn't think it would take too long to find a new one - he always had before. But more than 2,000 job applications later he is still hunting, trying to make ends meet with jobs in package delivery and landscaping. It's a huge surprise because I've always been able to get a job very easily, said Trigg, who lives in Texas. It wasn't even on my radar to be prepared for more than six months of unemployment.
