The latest escalation comes as President Donald Trump dismissed concerns that the conflict in Iran was draining American firepower. “This is a relatively little war for us,” Trump told reporters on Monday. “This is not a big war.” Shein shares pared steep early losses to finish almost unchanged in their Hong Kong debut.
