> A watchdog report examining the U.S.-Iran conflict says nearly 67% of the spending went toward munitions, a conclusion the U.S. War Department disputes. The broadcast also reports that President Trump threatened “very serious tariffs” or an end to trade with Europe if the EU makes Canada its first associate member. An Oregon resident and former U.S. Army servicemember pleaded guilty to conspiring to collect and transmit defense information.
