NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising toward records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 81 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with less than an hour remaining in trading. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by just 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. General Motors sank 8.2%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.9%. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support to the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the overall economy and prices for investments, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. Unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his proposal from Monday night would affect products across the board. Trump’s tariff talk came almost immediately after U.S. stocks rose Monday amid excitement about his pick for Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. The hope was the hedge-fund manager could steer Trump away from policies that balloon the U.S. government deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another set of mixed profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates instituted by the Fed to get inflation under control. Kohl’s tumbled 17.6% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.7% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. J.M. Smucker jumped 5.4% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 2.8% for Amazon and 2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields rose following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.30% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,600, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.

American Cities With the Oldest HomebuyersCanadian Broadcast Company airs "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York," but viewers notice the company cut out the scene featuring President Trump. President-elect Donald Trump made his name as a billionaire real estate mogul and celebrity gossip column fixture before rising to reality show stardom with "The Apprentice." The 78-year-old politician, who begins his second term as president of the United States on Jan. 20, hosted and co-produced the hit NBC series from 2005 to 2017. However, Trump's starring role on "The Apprentice" was far from his first venture into the entertainment industry. In 2007, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for producing the Miss Universe pageants after buying the organization in 1996. In addition, Trump has racked up a lengthy resume of acting credits over the years, though he typically plays himself. Aside from former Hollywood star Ronald Reagan, Trump is the only president who had acting roles before taking office. President-elect Donald Trump's cameo in the beloved holiday movie "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" may be one of his most memorable appearances, but the businessman actually has a long acting resume. (Alamy) In 1994, Trump made one of his most memorable cameo appearances in the classic Christmas comedy "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York." A sequel to the hit film "Home Alone," the movie follows 10-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), who finds himself once again stranded without his family during Christmas, this time in New York City. BO DEREK SAYS DONALD TRUMP ‘WAS GREAT’ IN HER 1989 FILM 'GHOSTS CAN’T DO IT' One scene featured Kevin, armed with his father's credit card, strolling into Manhattan's ritzy The Plaza Hotel, where he rents a room. While walking through the building, Kevin runs into Trump, who owned the hotel at the time. "Excuse me, where's the lobby?" Kevin asks Trump. Trump points his finger and tells Kevin, "Down the hall and to the left." While "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" is often cited as Trump's most famous cameo, the president-elect has appeared in a number of famous movies and television shows. Here's a look at Trump's other notable performances. ‘Ghosts Can't Do It’ Trump made his acting debut in the 1989 movie "Ghosts Can't Do It." (Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images) Trump made his acting debut in the 1989 romantic comedy fantasy film "Ghost's Can't Do it," which starred Bo Derek and Anthony Quinn. Several scenes featured Trump , who played himself, negotiating a business deal and flirting with Derek's character, widowed heiress Katie Scott. Their scenes largely took place in boardrooms in New York City, where Katie was meeting rich colleagues of her deceased husband in order to carry out a nefarious plan. Upon its release, "Ghosts Can't Do It" was critically panned and became a box-office flop. However, Derek complimented Trump's acting skills in a 2021 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. The "10" star said Trump did "great" in the film. "Looking back, I knew Donald Trump," Derek recalled. "We just got a call from a mutual friend saying, ‘Donald you know is looking to be in movies. And I know you’re making a movie now. Can you – is there a cameo you could put him in?’" Derek went on to explain that she and her team agreed to put Trump in the film because they "were going to be in New York anyway." "We wrote a little scene," Derek said. "And he was in the movie." ‘All My Children’ Trump's first soap opera appearance came in a 1992 episode of "All My Children." (Ann Limongello/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images) Trump's first soap opera appearance came in a 1992 episode of the long-running series "All My Children." However, Trump later admitted that he did not find the experience to be particularly memorable. In Gary Warner's 1994 biography, "All My Children: The Complete Family Scrapbook" via Soap Opera Digest, the politician was quoted as saying, "Candidly, this is what I remember about my appearance on ‘All My Children.’ My driver pulled up at ABC, I dashed out of the car, and before I knew what happened, I was in the studio, standing in front of a camera and reading a line off a cue card. I shook hands with a few people, ran out the door, jumped back in my car, and I was gone. You have to remember, I’m a busy guy." ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ Trump and his ex-wife, Marla Maples, guest-starred on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." (Everett Collection) Trump and then-wife and actress Marla Maples made cameo appearances as prospective buyers of the Banks' mansion in a 1994 episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," the family sitcom that launched Will Smith to stardom. In the scene, the entire Banks family gathers in their living room when their butler, Geoffrey (Joseph Marcell), announces, "Sir, it is my esteemed pleasure to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Donald Trump." As Trump and Maples walk in, Carlton Banks (Alfonso Ribeiro) exclaims, "It's The Donald! Oh my God!" before fainting from excitement. Uncle Phil (James Avery) catches Carlton and struggles to lay him on the sofa as he says, "Um, Mr. and Mrs. Trump, it's an honor to meet you." Uncle Phil shakes Trump's hand and says, "Ron said he had a rich uncle, but Donald Trump ..." "I like keeping a low profile," Trump tells him. Hilary Banks introduces herself to Trump and says, "You know, you look much richer in person." Will then steps forward to shake hands with Trump and Maples, saying, "Hey, listen, you are getting a great house here. And this is quite a deal you're getting for it, too." Pulling Trump aside, Will says, "Let me tell you what, throw in another $50 grand, I'll cut the grass for you every Saturday." "Look folks, before we go too far, I've got something to tell you," Trump says before he is interrupted by Ashley (Tatyana M. Ali), who doesn't want the house to be sold. "Excuse me, but I've got something to tell you first. Thank you for ruining my life!" she says before storming out. "What did you do?" Maples asks Trump, who replies, "Everybody's always blaming me for everything." Trump and Maples appeared in a 1994 episode of the hit sitcom starring Will Smith. (Everett Collection) Trump's real estate agent then tells the Banks family that there has been a "little mistake." He admits there was an address mix-up and the Banks' house was not the childhood home of Trump's nephew, which was the reason that Trump was interested in the property. "I don't know what to say except I'm sorry," the real estate agent tells Phil, who says, "That makes two of us." WILL SMITH: ‘CLEANSE’ AMERICA OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS "Well, that's business," says Trump. "Let's go down the street. I brought cash. It's quicker." "Nice meeting you all," Maples says, before turning to Trump. "It's just as well. It's too much of a fixer-upper," she adds. ‘The Little Rascals’ Trump made a cameo appearance in "The Little Rascals." (Universal Pictures/Getty Images) The 1994 family comedy "The Little Rascals" featured Trump in a rare role in which he did not play himself. The politician portrayed Waldo Johnston II, the father of spoiled rich kid Waldo Johnston III (Blake McIver Ewing). Trump appeared in one scene featuring the movie's climatic go-kart race. He was seen sitting in the stands when Waldo called him from his go-kart during the race to tell him, "Hi Dad, it's me. You're going to be so proud of me. I'm going to win this race!" "Waldo, you're the best son money can buy," Trump replies. ‘Hart to Hart: Secrets of the Hart’ The president-elect appeared in the TV movie "Hart to Hart: Secrets of the Hart." (ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images) After the mystery TV series "Hart to Hart" ended in 1984, the show's leading actors, Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers, went on to star in eight made-for-TV movies that were based on the show. Trump appeared in the fifth movie , 1995's "Hart to Hart: Secrets of the Hart." In the film, Jonathan Hart (Wagner), who is an orphan, discovers he might have a long-lost sister. He is then approached by a social-climbing waiter named Stuart Morris (Jason Bateman), who convinces Jonathan that his aunt, Maureen Collier (Marion Ross), is his sister. At the end of the movie, Trump rolls up in a limousine, and it is revealed that he is actually Maureen's long-lost brother. While greeting an awestruck Maureen, Trump asks, "Are you as nervous as I am?" to which she replies, "More." The reunited siblings ride off in the limo together along with Stuart, who is heard pitching Trump his business ideas. ‘The Nanny’ Trump guest-starred on an episode of "The Nanny." (Everett Collection) In a 1996 episode of the sitcom "The Nanny," Trump appeared as himself while visiting Fran Fine, the titular nanny played by Fran Drescher . During the scene, Fran attempts to introduce her boss-turned-husband, Max Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy), to Trump before interrupting herself and saying, "‘Oh, what am I talking about? All you handsome zillionaires know each other." The scene ends with Trump walking out the door before receiving a call on a cellphone in his coat pocket: "Hello? I told you not to call me on this line again," he says before hanging up. A phone in Trump's other coat pocket rings, and he picks it up, telling the caller, "That's better." In a 2020 interview with People magazine, Drescher revealed that Fran's line originally referred to Sheffield and Trump as millionaires. However, Trump's assistant sent Drescher's now ex-husband, Marc Jacobson, a note that read, "Mr. Trump is not a millionaire. He’s a billionaire, and we’d like you to change the script.'" Believing that using the word "billionaire" would be "too on the money" for her character to say, Drescher suggested changing it to "zillionaire," which Trump approved. ‘The Associate’ and ‘Eddie’ Trump made cameos in two 1996 movies starring Whoopi Goldberg. (Polygram Pictures/Getty Images) Though Whoopi Goldberg has frequently voiced her strong disapproval of Trump, the president-elect made cameos in two of "The View" host's movies in 1996. In "The Associate," Trump played himself while Goldberg starred as investment banker Laurel Ayres who invents a fictional White male business partner so she is taken more seriously in the business world. WHOOPI GOLDBERG CLAIMS BAKERY REFUSED HER SERVICE OVER LEFTIST VIEWS: 'THEY DID NOT LIKE MY POLITICS' "Eddie" starred Goldberg as Edwina "Eddie" Franklin, a chauffeur and New York Knicks superfan. After Eddie wins a contest to be the team's honorary coach, she becomes the Knicks' head coach after impressing the owner with her skills. In the movie, Trump once again played himself, giving an interview about Goldberg's success as the head coach. He tells the interviewer, "Actually, Eddie was my idea from the beginning." ‘NightMan’ The superhero TV series "NightMan" featured Trump in a 1997 episode. (Everett Collection) "NightMan" was a TV series that aired for two seasons from 1997 to 1999 and starred Matt McColm as a saxophonist-turned-superhero. In 1997, Trump appeared in a season 1 episode titled "Face to Face." In the episode, prison escapee E. Haskell Bridges (Cyril O'Reilly) develops the ability to change his face at will after undergoing plastic surgery. During one scene, Bridges is seen driving when he asks his girlfriend to call a bank and tell them that "they'll have a very special guest." Bridges then holds up a copy of the businessman's book, "The Art of the Deal," and morphs into Trump. Trump, as Bridges, later walks into a bank where he withdraws $10,000 from the astonished bank manager. ‘Suddenly Susan’ Trump made a came in the sitcom "Suddenly Susan," starring Brooke Shields. (Gary Null/NBCU Photo Bank) Trump appeared in a season 1 episode of the sitcom "Suddenly Susan," which starred Brooke Shields as Susan Keane, a writer at the fictional San Francisco magazine "The Gate." In the 1997 episode "I'll See That and Raise You Susan," Susan's boss, Jack Richmond (Judd Nelson), bets his stakes in the magazine during a poker game with Trump, John McEnroe, Mr. T and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. During the episode, Kathy Griffin's character, Vicki Groener, attempts to pitch Trump to invest in a magazine titled "Skazzy" while he is dining at a restaurant. In an ironic case of life imitating art, her tactics involved unveiling a cover of "Skazzy" featuring a photo of Trump with the headline "Our Next President." Kathy Griffin's character attempted to pitch Trump to invest in a magazine. (Gary Null/NBCU Photo Bank) ‘Sex and the City’ Trump made an appearance in a season 2 episode of "Sex and the City." ( JIMI CELESTE/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) Trump was name-dropped in the first episode of " Sex in the City" when the hit HBO show premiered in 1998. After Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets her main love interest, the wealthy and successful Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) refers to him as the "next Donald Trump." In the show's second season, Trump himself appeared in a scene from the 1999 episode "The Man, the Myth, the Viagra." Samantha is seen sitting in a bar while Trump and an elderly man named Ed have lunch at a table in the background. "Samantha, a Cosmopolitan and Donald Trump ... you just don't get more New York than that," Carrie says in a voice-over. Samantha glances over her shoulder at the two while Ed flashes a smile at her. Trump notices the exchange and gives Samantha an approving look before turning back to Ed. "Listen, Ed, I've got to go," Trump says while shaking the other man's hand. "But think about it. I'll be at my office at Trump Tower," he adds as he walks away. ‘Two Weeks Notice’ Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock's 2001 comedy featured an appearance by Trump. (Getty Images) Trump made an appearance as himself in the 2001 romantic comedy "Two Weeks Notice" starring Hugh Grant as billionaire CEO George Wade and Sandra Bullock as his long-suffering chief counsel, Lucy Kelson. In one scene, Wade encounters Trump at a party. After greeting each other, Trump asks Wade if Lucy "finally dumped" him and then threatens to steal away her replacement. Wade expresses his doubts that Trump will succeed, noting that his new chief counsel, June Carver (Alicia Witt), "seems quite loyal to me." "Let me be the judge of that," Trump tells him. "All right. I'm not intimidated. I'll even lead you to her, she's over there somewhere," Wade replies as the two walk away. In an October appearance on "The Graham Norton Show," Grant said Trump's cameo wasn't particularly memorable to him. "He played a bit part as himself in a romantic comedy I did with Sandra Bullock," the "Love Actually" actor said. "But the fact is that I don't really remember him very well. The night he came, I had a bet with Sandy that I could make the chairman of Warner Bros. cry by 9 p.m." "And I was completely focused on that. It's quite a big bet. She didn't believe I could do it, but I did it," he added. Grant did not share how he made the chairman cry but recalled that he was in a "flood of tears by 8:30 p.m." "So I'm afraid Donald Trump didn't really register," Grant added. ‘Zoolander’ Trump's wife, Melania, made her big-screen debut when she appeared alongside her husband in the hit 2001 comedy "Zoolander," starring Ben Stiller. (CBS via Getty Images) Trump's wife, Melania, made her big-screen debut when she appeared alongside her husband in the hit 2001 comedy "Zoolander."

Liverpool manager Arne Slot celebrates victory over Leicester (Peter Byrne/PA) Liverpool head coach Arne Slot continued to play down the significance of their place at the top of the Premier League despite it being strengthened by their 3-1 win over Leicester. Chelsea’s surprise defeat by Fulham meant victory over the Foxes stretched their lead to seven points, with a match in hand, with the halfway point of the campaign fast approaching. But Slot is maintaining his level-headed approach despite the clamour growing around their chances of adding another title to the one won in 2020.

The league table is something of course we are aware of but we always understand how many games there are to go.” Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team led early on against Liverpool (Peter Byrne/PA) Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy felt his side held their own until Salah scored in the 82nd minute. “I think we were in the contest for a result for a long time,” he said. “Three-one was the turning point in the sense the game was done there to get a result. “I think the 60th minute I remember a chanced for Daka to score the equaliser so we were in the game to get a surprising result. “We did well, we did what we could: a good start with the goal but if you speak of a turning point, 3-1 with Salah, the game was done.” Van Nistelrooy left goalkeeper Danny Ward out of the squad after he struggled in the defeat to Wolves and was jeered by his own fans. Danny Ward was left out by Leicester (Mike Egerton/PA) “The change in goal was one to make and the conversation with Wardy was impressive, the way he was thinking of the team and the club,” added the Dutchman. “I insisted on a conversation and of course it is a private conversation but what I want to share is the person and the professional he is. “I was impressed with that and his willingness for the team and the club to do well. “Really tough what happened for him.

PHOENIX (AP) — Donald Trump suggested Sunday that his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the United States "foolishly" ceded to its Central American ally, contending that shippers are charged "ridiculous" fees to pass through the vital transportation channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Panama's conservative president José Raúl Mulino, who was elected in May on a pro-business platform, roundly rejected that notion as an affront to his country's sovereignty. The Republican president-elect's comment came during his first major rally since winning the White House on Nov. 5. He also basked in his return to power as a large audience of conservatives cheered along. It was a display of party unity at odds with a just-concluded budget fight on Capitol Hill, where some GOP lawmakers openly defied their leader's demands. Addressing supporters at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Arizona, Trump pledged that his "dream team Cabinet" would deliver a booming economy, seal U.S. borders and quickly settle wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. "I can proudly proclaim that the Golden Age of America is upon us," Trump said. "There's a spirit that we have now that we didn't have just a short while ago." His appearance capped a four-day pep rally that drew more than 20,000 activists and projected an image of Republican cohesion despite the past week's turbulence in Washington with Trump pulling strings from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as Congress worked to avoid a government shutdown heading into the holidays. House Republicans spiked a bipartisan deal after Trump and Elon Musk, his billionaire ally, expressed their opposition on social media. Budget hawks flouted Trump's demand that they raise the nation's debt ceiling, which would have spared some new rounds of the same fight after he takes office on Jan. 20, with Republicans holding narrow control of the House and Senate. The final agreement did not address the issue and there was no shutdown. Trump, in his remarks in Phoenix, did not mention the congressional drama, though he did reference Musk's growing power. To suggestions that "President Trump has ceded the presidency to Elon," Trump made clear, "No, no. That's not happening." "He's not gonna be president," Trump said. The president-elect opened the speech by saying that "we want to try to bring everybody together. We're going to try. We're going to really give it a shot." Then he suggested Democrats have "lost their confidence" and are "befuddled" after the election but eventually will "come over to our side because we want to have them." Atop a list of grievances — some old, some new — was the Panama Canal. "We're being ripped off at the Panama Canal," he said, bemoaning that his country "foolishly gave it away." The United States built the canal in the early 1900s as it looked for ways to facilitate the transit of commercial and military vessels between its coasts. Washington relinquished control of the waterway to Panama on Dec. 31, 1999, under a treaty signed in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. The canal depends on reservoirs to operate its locks and was heavily affected by 2023 Central American droughts that forced it to substantially reduce the number of daily slots for crossing ships. With fewer ships using the canal each day, administrators also increased the fees that are charged all shippers for reserving a slot. With weather returning to normal in the later months of this year, transit on the canal has normalized. But price increases are still expected for next year. Mulino, Panama's president, has been described as a conservative populist who aligns with Trump on many issues. Panama is a strong U.S. ally and the canal is crucial for its economy, generating about one-fifth of that government's annual revenue. Still, Trump said, that, once his second term is underway, "If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America, in full, quickly and without question." "I'm not going to stand for it," Trump said. "So to the officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly." He did not explain how that would be possible. Shortly after Trump's speech, Mulino released a video declaring that "every square meter of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to belong" to his country. Without mentioning Trump by name, Mulino addressed Trump's complaints over rising fees for ships crossing the canal, saying they are set by experts who take into account operational costs, and supply and demand factors. "The tariffs are not set on a whim" Mulino said. He noted that Panama has expanded the canal over the years to increase ship traffic "on its own initiative," and added that shipping fee increases help pay for improvements. "Panamanians may have different views on many issues" Mulino said. "But when it comes to our canal, and our sovereignty, we will all unite under our Panamanian flag." Trump then took to his social media site to offer in response, "We'll see about that!" He also posted a picture of a U.S. flag planted in the canal zone under the phrase, "Welcome to the United States Canal!" The canal aside, Trump's appearance at Turning Point's annual gathering affirmed the growing influence the group and its founder, Charlie Kirk, have had in the conservative movement. Kirk's group hired thousands of field organizers across presidential battlegrounds, helping Trump make key gains among infrequent voters and other groups of people that have trended more Democratic in recent decades, including younger voters, Black men and Latino men. "You had Turning Point's grassroots armies," Trump said. "It's not my victory, it's your victory." Trump on Sunday also announced several new members of his incoming administration, most notably: -Stephen Miran, who worked at the Treasury Department in Trump's first term, to lead the Council of Economic Advisers, an executive branch agency charged with providing objective economic advice to the president. —Callista Gingrich to be the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland. Gingrich was U.S. ambassador to the Holy See in Trump's first term. She is married to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Separately, Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt announced he was donating $1.1 million to Trump's inaugural fund to complement the $14 million that he said he already had given to the Make America Great Again Inc. super political action committee — making him one of the president-elect's top donors. Pratt is chairman of Pratt Industries, which uses recycled paper and boxes as a raw material in a process that produces new cardboard. ___ This story has been corrected to reflect that Panama's president Mulino was elected in May, not April. ___ Weissert reported from West Palm Beach, Florida.
