Roundup: US auto sales / Jones Act / LSU New Orleans ceremony
U.S. auto sales in Q2 showed mixed results with General Motors reporting a 4% decline while Stellantis, Toyota, and Hyundai saw growth. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans urged President Donald Trump to let a Jones Act waiver expire, arguing it harms U.S. shipping and national security. LSU New Orleans held a ceremony to mark its return to the LSU System after 15 years under the University of Louisiana System.
