Trump wants to include cruise ships in the bailout

[BULLDOG]

But only one ship is registered and pays taxes in the US, and adheres to US labor and safety laws. That one ship is owned by a company in Norway. Is there a single reason why we should bail out companies that don't even pay taxes here?

Major cruise lines could be left out of the coronavirus stimulus bailout

The cruise industry was ground to a halt by the coronavirus pandemic, after a number of outbreaks on ships. Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruises have all suspended operations.

I think in Trump's presser yesterday he said that if the company is not a US company they don't get any stimulus money.

If democrats had their way we would be bailing out Mexico.
