So Trump’s math is seriously fuzzy – but so is his underlying message that the US job market is significantly stronger than the unemployment rate suggests.

A U.S. official told CBS News that the interdiction of the vessel followed a similar playbook to an earlier U.S. seizure of an oil tanker near Venezuela.
