Donald Trump has announced to reduce the costs of some weight loss drugs, or as he calls them 'fat shots'.

The Trump administration claims that Americans could lose 61 billion kilogrammes combined because of this deal.

A US$1 trillion pay package, endorsed by Tesla shareholders, could be headed for Elon Musk .

Meanwhile, the Government shutdown, which has now reached 37 days, is leading to flight delays and cancellations at US airports. 

Jonathan Kearsley told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "what this is now doing is spreading the pain far beyond federal workers ... straight into American travellers."
