United Steelworkers 1005 has reached a tentative agreement with the American venture capital firm, Bedrock Indistries, that plans to take over Stelco. The union can’t vote on the proposal until June 6th, as its membership must have a week to consider the terms.

According to reports, Donald Trump has been providing his personal cell phone number to world leaders. Security experts say this creates a serious risk of his calls being tapped. There are also reports that Michael Flynn will be providing documents related to the Russia-Trump saga to the Senate panel handling the investigation.
