Congress voted 42-0 to embed location trackers in every advanced AI chip the US exports. Applied Materials paid $252 million for routing restricted chips to SMIC through South Korea. 56 illegal shipments. The AI arms race everyone is watching is models. The one that matters is silicon: who makes the chip, who ships it, who verifies where it sits. Finance. Geopolitics. Economics. Every price tells a story. Follow for the thread you bookmark.

@FoxNews When diplomacy meets reality TV energy 😂

“I’m the boss.” President Trump walked into the first session on the final day of the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, and dropped the line as cameras were rolling. Fellow world leaders laughed as the moment cut through a summit focused on Ukraine, Iran, trade and global security.

@business The challenge for G7 nations is balancing AI security with international cooperation. Innovation thrives on collaboration, but governments are increasingly viewing frontier AI through a strategic lens.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei were among tech bosses at a G7 working lunch on AI, as the US decision to restrict access to Anthropic's most advanced models causes tension among allies bloom.bg/4edq2wa

@FoxNews Gold may no longer back the dollar, but nations still treat it as strategic insurance. The fact that the U.S. keeps most of its reserves in Fort Knox shows that physical gold remains a cornerstone of financial confidence.

WATCH: President Trump cracks a joke about America's commitment to defending India as long as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still leading the country: REPORTER: "Can you speak to the defense relationship between India and the United States?" TRUMP: "If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there. Now if there's a new leader, I'm not sure about it." "If they're attacked and he's the leader, we're going to be there to help."

@IranObserver0 Trump's compliments always come with a plot twist. One second it's 'beautiful,' the next it's 'killer.

⚡️NEW: Trump calls President Modi a a Killer "He is the most beautiful looking man. But actually he is as tough as a killer. He is a killer"

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC Messi's talent is special. Refereeing treatment shouldn't be. ⚽️👀

From @TheAthleticFC: As brilliant as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions when opponents have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees. This was the case against Algeria — should Messi have been sent off? nyti.ms/4erTFZz

@BRICSinfo If even Israel’s UN ambassador is calling it a bad deal, the real question is what concessions were made behind closed doors and who benefits most from them

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 Israel's UN ambassador says the US-Iran deal is "very bad for Israel."

@clashreport Strong chemistry confirmed. Awaiting the engagement communiqué and joint honeymoon statement. 😄

Trump to Egypt's Sisi: I was in a hotel, I met him and we fell in love, deeply in love... We had great chemistry.

@Reuters Ultimately this is a liquidity story. Rates alone won’t ‘fix’ structural imbalances credit conditions and dollar strength will do the real tightening or easing

Traders are divided on the Fed’s near-term rate path, with bets swinging between cuts and multiple hikes. Panmure Liberum’s Joachim Klement told Reuters that higher rates won’t offer a clean fix, favoring a wait-and-see approach reut.rs/4fVULzb

@BRICSinfo Sanctions reshaping defense trade routes in real time.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇷🇺 Russia and Iran sign MOU for 20 new helicopters for Iran's air support fleet.

@DeItaone If confirmed, this deepens Russia–Iran defense alignment under sanctions pressure, signaling how isolated supply chains are reshaping global military procurement.

@WilliamsRuto As leaders discuss “sustainable development,” the key question remains: will this translate into fair financing terms, infrastructure investment, and trade access for the Global South or repeat cycles of promises without implementation?

With fellow leaders on the third and final day of the G7 Summit in Evian, France, engaging in discussions on shared global priorities and strengthening partnerships for sustainable development, economic growth and international cooperation.

@RT_com Corruption at that level in a major state oil company the real story is how far it went before being caught.

Former Chinese top-executive sentenced to death over $22.5 million in bribes — China Daily Yuan Guangyu used his position in one of the largest state-owned oil and gas companies CNOOC to help secure contracts, and business deals He was sentenced to death with a 2-year reprieve

President Trump SMACKS DOWN the fake news saying America is not investing 10 CENTS into Iran, let alone $300 billion "We are NOT investing, we do NOT have a fund!" "We're not putting up 10 CENTS." "[$300B] is FALSE! People can invest if they want...they won't be doing it for a while until they find out the behavior [of Iran]!"

@piersmorgan Not sure ‘fiasco’ survives contact with the actual geopolitical alternatives available.

This Iran deal is about as far removed from ‘unconditional surrender’ as any deal in the history of Planet Earth. I’m glad President Trump is getting out of this fiasco, but I bet if he had his time again, he’d have never got into it or believed Netanyahu’s bullsh*t.

@MAGAVoice Politics aside, that kind of confidence always changes the tone in a room 😅

LMAO 🤣 Can’t stop laughing President Trump just walked into the G7 meeting and said “I’m the Boss” THE ALL KNOW TRUMP IS THE MAGA KING I LOVE THIS 😂

@FoxNews This kind of rhetoric may play well politically, but it also raises questions about escalation management and long-term stability.

BREAKING: "If I don't like it, we'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs on their head." President Trump warns Iran that any change to the peace agreement or failure to comply could bring an immediate military response. "If they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head," Trump said. Trump contrasted the deal with the Obama-era JCPOA, arguing the previous administration tried to "bribe their way out of it." "You know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said, 'he's a stupid son of a b****.'"

@BBCWorld If even public criticism doesn’t change operational decisions, what leverage is actually left?

@cnnbrk A ceasefire + nuclear commitment is one thing regional proxy dynamics are the real test. That’s where most deals like this usually break down.

@DeItaone Valuation signals aren’t fundamentals. In private markets, price is often just liquidity + narrative, not earnings reality

$SPCX - SPACEX SPARKS TECH BUBBLE FEARS SpaceX’s near-50% surge after its IPO has raised concerns that tech valuations may be overheating. Now the world’s fifth-most valuable company, SpaceX’s rally comes despite no profit forecast and doubts over its ambitious space plans. Swissquote’s Ipek Ozkardeskaya calls the stock a warning sign that technology valuations may have gone too far. Shares gained another 3.5% premarket to $208.85.

@FoxNews Interesting framework, but the details matter. "60 days to negotiate" and "move against Iran's nuclear program" are two very different signals. Markets may be celebrating, but investors should read the fine print before declaring peace.

BREAKING: Details are beginning to emerge ahead of the U.S.-Iran memorandum signing ceremony, now less than 48 hours away. The proposed framework reportedly includes reopening the Strait, ending the U.S. blockade, a 60-day negotiation period over Iran's uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a ceasefire agreement involving Israel and Hezbollah. President Trump says he plans to move against Iran's nuclear program on Tuesday, while pointing to the 60-day window for negotiations over Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Now all eyes are on whether the ceasefires can survive long enough for any deal to take hold. @TreyYingst breaks down the latest.
