The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum.

The legend of Dick Hammer continues to grow.

Born Richard Bernard Hammer in Long Beach, Cali., in 1930, he became affectionately known as Dick Hammer. That name has been thrust back into the spotlight recently as his grandson, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, gears up for Super Bowl LX.
