Tonight, Kenton is recovering in Texas. Raqqa is liberated... All of America salutes you," Trump said. In a landmark ruling in April, a French court convicted Lafarge, the world’s largest cement manufacturer, of providing material support to a terror group and sentenced its former CEO to six years in prison. Eight former Lafarge employees were found guilty. Lafarge is appealing. The company acknowledged the court’s finding describing the issue as a "legacy mat…
