One Mac Wrap contains 46% of your recommended daily allowance of salt...

"It is not fair that the U.S.'s efforts to tackle terrorist financing have become embroiled in an argument between E.U. institutions." European and U.S. officials will almost certainly need to craft a different kind of pact now.
