With 'American Obituary,' U2 returns to the battle, taking aim at Trump

The Irish band wrote this protest song in the aftermath of the death of Renee Good, who was killed by US federal agents in Minneapolis. It is one of six tracks on their new EP, 'Days of Ash,' which also addresses Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the war in Ukraine.
