South Korea's Lee sees won strengthening to 1,400 level, stocks still undervalued
South Korean authorities expect the won to strengthen to around the 1,400-per-dollar level in a month or two, although domestic policies alone will not be able to stabilise foreign exchange markets, President Lee Jae Myung said on Wednesday.

If Trump's innocent:

Why did MAGA Mike hold up Congress to block the Epstein files?

Why did MAGA Mike block Rep. Grijalva from being seated?

Why are they still withholding the Epstein files?

Why is Trump named as a rapist in the files?

Why hasn't Trump sued anyone for calling him a pedophile?

Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace?

TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited

Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?

TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

Does anybody know where this ridiculous notion that non-medical professionals who did their training in a different trust cannot then perform those procedures in a new trust without further training? I'm taking ECGs, cannulas, bloods, catheterisation etc.

It seems very, very silly.
