Milioane de americani sunt așteptați să participe sâmbătă, 28 martie, la protestele „No Kings”, organizate împotriva administrației Trump, în ceea ce ar putea deveni cea mai amplă mobilizare de acest tip din istoria recentă a Statelor Unite.

Analiștii au un deja-vu în ceea ce privește „jocul” președintelui Trump cu ultimatumurile: la fel s-a întâmplat și cu ultimatumurile acordate Rusiei, susține profesorul Radu Carp. Nici cel de-al treilea ultimatum - de 10 zile - trimis Iranului nu va putea stopa creșterea prețului petrolului.

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that “Cuba is next” in his latest threat against the Caribbean island, as he dismissed concerns that recent American military actions would cost him political support. Cuba’s communist government has faced mounting pressure from Trump, who imposed a de facto oil blockade in January and mused about “taking” the country. Speaking at the Saudi-backed FII Priority investment forum in Miami, Trump said his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement wanted “strength” and “victory”, citing the January raid where US forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. “I built this great military. I said, “You’ll never have to use it,” but sometimes you have to use it,” Trump said. “And Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn’t say that.” Trump did not specify what he planned to do with Cuba, telling the media to “disregard that statement” before repeating “Cuba’s next” to laughter from the audience. In his Friday speech, the Republican president also made a teasing c...

US paper currency will bear ‌President Donald Trump’s signature starting this summer, the first time a sitting president has signed American money, the Treasury Department said on Thursday. The redesigned notes, planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, will also, for the first time in 165 years, drop the signature of the ​US treasurer, who reports to the Treasury Secretary and oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the US ​Mint and other Treasury functions. The first $100 bills with Trump’s signature and that of US Treasury Secretary ⁠Scott Bessent will be printed in June, followed by other bills in subsequent months. The new bills may take several ​weeks to circulate through banks. The Treasury is still producing notes bearing the signatures of former president Joe Biden’s Treasury secretary, Janet ​Yellen, and former Treasurer Lynn Malerba. Malerba will be the last of an unbroken line of treasurers whose signatures have appeared on US federal currency since 1861, when the US g...

David Sacks will lead a new tech-focused advisory group established by the White House, which will include key leaders like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg. David Sacks, a venture capitalist who became a special White House official under US President Donald Trump last year, has wrapped up his 130-day tenure as crypto and AI czar but will continue to shape policy in a new role. “We've now used up that time,” Sacks told Bloomberg on Thursday, noting that he will continue making policy recommendations across a broad range of tech industries as co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Sacks has been an influential figure in the White House since Trump tabbed him in December 2024 as his key adviser on technology. Reuters noted that under ​US rules, such special ⁠government employees are limited to 130 days of work in a 12-month period. Read more

The Treasury Department announced plans to add US President Donald Trump’s signature to US currency, reportedly starting with the $100 bill in June.  US President Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting president in history to have his signature put on US paper currency. In an announcement on Thursday, the US Department of the Treasury said the move would mark the 250th anniversary of the US. It will put both Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s signatures on future US notes. “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S. dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Bessent said. Read more

De onderhandelingen met Teheran over een diplomatiek einde aan de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten zouden ‘zeer goed verlopen’, aldus Trump. Eerder op donderdag uitte de Amerikaanse president nog zijn twijfels over de haalbaarheid van een diplomatieke deal met Teheran.

Calling the Iran conflict a shame, Trump says the only reason he is doing it is to stop death

'They're great negotiators and are begging for a deal, but I don't know if we'll do that,' Trump says

Israel launched strikes across Iran on Thursday, hours after US President Donald Trump said Tehran wanted a deal to end the nearly four-week war despite its top diplomat rejecting any talks with Washington. The conflict has mushroomed to draw in nations around the Middle East, sending energy markets into a tailspin and threatening to torpedo the global economy. Iran, under near-daily bombardment since a joint US-Israeli attack started the war on February 28, was hit early on Thursday by what the Israeli army said was “a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure”, including in the central city of Isfahan. In turn, an Iranian missile attack activated sirens across central Israel, including Tel Aviv and parts of Jerusalem, on Thursday morning, according to the Israeli military, the first launches it identified from Iran in more than 14 hours. Trump, whose daily statements have swung wildly from threatening to conciliatory, said talks to end the war were ongoing with Iran, but that officials in Tehran w...

United States President Donald Trump will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in May during his first visit to China in eight years, a closely watched trip postponed due to the ongoing Iran war. Trump’s effort to reschedule the trip reflected the Republican president’s eagerness to project confidence in a challenging Middle East war and simultaneously to manage a tense relationship between the world’s biggest economies. Initially slated to travel next week, Trump will now visit Beijing on May 14 and 15, he said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday. Trump added that he would host Xi for a reciprocal visit in Washington later this year. “Our Representatives are finalising preparations for these Historic Visits,” Trump said. “I look very much forward to spending time with President Xi in what will be, I am sure, a Monumental Event.” China’s embassy said it had no information to provide on the announcement of the visit. Beijing normally does not detail Xi’s schedule more than a few days in advance. The long-schedule...

The council, co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and science advisor Michael Kratsios, include Mark Zuckberg, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang. US President Donald Trump announced the appointment of 13 members from the crypto, blockchain, AI, and technology industries to his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, re-established by executive order in January 2025. In a Wednesday notice, the White House said that the council would include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle chief technology officer Larry Ellison, and others from major tech companies. According to the White House, the council could have up to 24 members, many of whom “will be appointed in the near future.” Read more

Treasury yields and swap spreads could eventually pressure the Trump administration to moderate the conflict, analysts argue.

The SEC’s handling of cases involving Justin Sun and Elon Musk was among the factors that caused the agency’s top enforcement official to quit, according to sources. Update (March 25, 12:18 am UTC): This article has been updated to add a response from the SEC. The US Securities and Exchange Commission's former top enforcement official reportedly clashed with the regulator’s top brass before resigning last week, with part of the reason being how the agency handled cases involving those close to US President Donald Trump. Margaret Ryan, the ex-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, wanted to pursue fraud and other charges in cases involving those in Trump’s orbit, but was resisted by SEC Chair Paul Atkins and other Republican political appointees, Reuters reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
