Bruce Springsteen shows no signs of backing down from his critical stance on President Donald Trump, releasing a digital EP recorded live in Manchester, England. The EP includes pointed remarks against the Trump administration, prompting a cultural exchange.

The rock legend's Manchester concert began with 'No Surrender', symbolizing his steadfast position. This move activated Trump's response with a satirical video targeting Springsteen, highlighting the ongoing conflict.
