U.S. BANKS EYE CRYPTO CUSTODY AMID TRUMP’S PRO-CRYPTO SHIFT

The U.S. crypto scene is booming with President Donald Trump’s return, as his pro-crypto stance and push for clear regulations are sparking excitement on Wall Street.

In a recent updateCrypto reporter Yueqi Yang has shared insights on the growing involvement of U.S. banks in the crypto services sector. Notably, some large banks are leveraging regulatory changes under President Trump to enter the market, with a focus on cryptocurrency custody.

Citigroup is considering adding crypto custody services, according to sources quoted by The Information. This move follows the bank’s announcement of a successful proof of concept project, which showed its ability to issue and store tokenized private equity funds on a blockchain network.

Citigroup Joins Major Financial Players

Notably, Citigroup, with $2.4 trillion in assets, is joining other major financial institutions in the growing digital asset custody space.

BNY Mellon is expanding its custody services beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, while Standard Chartered has rolled out a digital asset custody service in DubaiHSBC is planning institutional-grade custody offering, and Crédit Agricole and Banco Santander’s joint venture secured crypto custody approval in France.

Meanwhile, State Street, managing $44.3 trillion, partnered with Taurus to offer crypto custody and tokenization services for institutional investors.

While Coinbase is in talks with banks to offer custody and trading services, however, many banks are still waiting for approval from the Federal Reserve and the New York Department of Financial Services, which is delaying their entry into crypto trading, noted The Information reporter Yueqi Yang.

More Banks Eye Crypto Services

Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair, said U.S. banks with proper risk checks could serve crypto clients. However, many in the industry are concerned about debanking tied to new techRecently, Powell has promised to work with Congress to end this issue.

At the same time, more banks are eyeing crypto services. In January, Morgan Stanley-backed E-Trade hinted at offering crypto services, while Goldman Sachs said it would consider digital asset operations if regulations allowed.

JUDGE REMOVES KEY LEGAL HURDLE FOR TRUMP’S PLAN TO TRIM FEDERAL WORKFORCE WITH DEFERRED RESIGNATIONS

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday removed a key legal hurdle stalling President Donald Trump ’s plan to downsize the federal workforce with a deferred resignation program.

The Boston-based judge’s order in the challenge filed by a group of labor unions was a significant legal victory for the Republican president after a string of courtroom setbacks.

This goes to show that lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will of 77 million Americans who supported President Trump and his priorities,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Another group of unions filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. late Wednesday, though its potential impacts were not immediately clear.

About 75,000 federal workers accepted the offer to quit in return for being paid until Sept. 30, according to McLaurine Pinover, a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management.

She said the deferred resignation program “provides generous benefits so federal workers can plan for their futures,” and it was now closed to additional workers.

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!

Member: I would LOVE to see an RV for us all today for sure!!

​​Member: Is this the weekend we see it hit the forex?

Member: Well…it is a 3 day weekend…..hoping this is it!!

Member:  I’m hearing everything is in motion and it won’t be long to get to us.

MZ: It was pretty quiet on the bond side and the group side overnight. Painfully quiet.

Member: Guess it’s the quiet before the storm….we hope.

MZ: And remember Sudani was in Prague yesterday where the World Court is….and his team was at the UN in New York.

Member: (From Dinar Guru)  Mnt Goat   Articles: “AMERICA STOPS THE DOLLAR CASH TO IRAQ: WILL THE DOLLAR RISE AGAINST THEDINAR?” and ” TARGETING IRAN, US TIGHTENS IRAQ’S DOLLAR FLOW, CAUSING PAIN“. These are my favorite articles in the news... It may at first seem imposing, but it will lead us to what we have been looking for all along...this move by the US is supported by the CBI and is in the plan as the next move that had to be made...It is going to set up the dinar for the future value...

MZ: That’s right….and they told us in 2023 that when the Arab summit returned –the dinar would have a new value. It was a promise they made. And the Arab summit will be going on next month!

Member: Iraq announced a new found oil field & now are richer than Saudia Arabia

Member: If it doesn't happen this month will Ramadan from 2/28 until 3/29 delay it?

MZ: “Loans and advances in banks have stopped since the beginning of the year- Reveal the reasons”  they tell us that to many people are still hanging onto their dinar under their mattresses and there is an liquidity crunch. So they paused these things saying there is not enough cash in circulation because people are hoarding it. This is the excuse the banks are using.

Member: For goodness sakes…..if Iraq would raise the dinar value – these problems will just melt away…sheesh. .

MZ: Yes and is it possible people are hoarding their dinar because they know a value change is coming. I believe yes…..it is possible

MZ: “Iraq’s Golden treasure –Does it protect the country from the fluctuation of the economy?” The answer is yes. Gold is timeless in value and they have greatly increased their gold reserves so they have stability in their economy.

MZ: I believe more and more countries are preparing for a “gold standard”

MZ: “Budget and the relationship with Trump”  He tells us things are great and they are talking to the US all of the time. Security is  really improving and they are working on removing the tentacles of Iran.

Member: I believe we may be waiting for the audits to finish at the Federal Reserve, The IRS, The US Treasury and Ft. Know before they pull the RV trigger?

Member: Well we don’t want bad guys being able to access our funds…..makes sense I guess.

Member: DOGE arrived at the IRS a couple of days ago!!  And Ron Paul is going to audit the Fed.

Member: Get em DOGE, darn IRS…..

Member: Several IRS agents are taking the pay to leave! What's that tell you??!

Member: Elon Musk: "I've had a top secret clearance for many years and have clearances that themselves are classified."

Member: They may need those figures for the QFS to start????

Member: Wait til DOGE audits the Federal Reserve and Wall Street ..

Member: We're watching NESARA roll out right now with the eliminating the Govt agencies

MZ: “14 states sue to block DOGE from uncovering government abuses and slashing waste” DOGE is just auditors…They cannot make changes….they can only audit and show the waste. They can make suggestions …but that is all they can do.  Does anyone apprecieate the irony that the IRS is pitching a fit because they are being audited??? 

Member: I want to know just what they all are hiding…..

MZ: “ Congress has 30 days before a government shutdown deadline” Remember that the Biden administration spent 3 months worth of budget funds in the 20 days before Trump took office.

MZ: “ House Republicans strike deal to cut $1.5 Trillion from budget-Paving way for Trump’s legislative agenda”  It’s all over the news that they have already struck a deal …It is out of committee and needs a full vote. It does look good and will result in tremendous cuts in spending through cleaning up waste and fraud.

Member: silver hits a high of $34.24 in early morning

Member: Stay calm, think clearly, act Decisively!!!!! We are at the end of this stay positive!!!!!!

Member: So excited for this  3 day weekend - could be the start

Member: I never realized how many 3 day weekends we actually had, until I started living from one to the next on the edge of my seat!

Member: Maybe this is the weekend. Given that all other RVs took place on Wednesday or Saturdays…and Presidents Day is Monday the 17th!!

Banking System Implosion

Banking System Implosion

Liberty and Finance: 2-13-2025

In a recent appearance on Liberty and Finance, financial analyst Gregory Mannarino dissected the precarious state of the banking system and its broader ramifications on the American economy.

 Mannarino pulled no punches, highlighting the inherent flaws within the fiat currency model, the inadequacy of Federal Reserve audits, and the dangers lurking within the deregulation of banks.

Mannarino began by addressing the fundamental challenge of managing national finances within a fiat currency system.

Banking System Implosion

Liberty and Finance: 2-13-2025

In a recent appearance on Liberty and Finance, financial analyst Gregory Mannarino dissected the precarious state of the banking system and its broader ramifications on the American economy.

 Mannarino pulled no punches, highlighting the inherent flaws within the fiat currency model, the inadequacy of Federal Reserve audits, and the dangers lurking within the deregulation of banks.

Mannarino began by addressing the fundamental challenge of managing national finances within a fiat currency system.

He argued persuasively that the inherent structure of fiat money, unbacked by tangible assets, makes reigning in government spending an uphill battle. This, he contends, contributes significantly to the ongoing economic struggles and the relentless expansion of the national debt.

 Without the discipline imposed by a commodity-backed currency, governments are more inclined to overspend, leading to inflation and erosion of purchasing power.

Furthermore, Mannarino cast a critical eye on the audits conducted by the Federal Reserve. He argued that these audits are often superficial and fail to provide a transparent and comprehensive picture of the nation’s financial health. This lack of transparency, he claims, leaves consumers in the dark, unable to make informed decisions based on the true state of affairs. Instead, they are often presented with a sanitized version of reality, obscuring the systemic risks brewing beneath the surface.

He stressed the importance of individuals demanding greater accountability and transparency from the central bank to safeguard their financial well-being.

Perhaps the most alarming aspect of Mannarino’s analysis centered on the deregulation of banks. He warned that loosening the regulatory reins on financial institutions could pave the way for increased risk-taking and potentially devastating consequences for consumers.

 Deregulation, he argues, allows banks to engage in more speculative activities, ultimately jeopardizing the financial security of average citizens. This echoes concerns raised in previous financial crises, where inadequate oversight allowed banks to engage in reckless behavior, leading to widespread economic devastation.

Interestingly, Mannarino also addressed the attention being given to Bank of America, suggesting that it might be strategically positioned as a scapegoat for problems that extend far beyond the institution itself. He warned against focusing solely on individual entities while ignoring the deeper systemic issues that plague the entire financial landscape.

By singling out Bank of America, he suspects, the powers that be may be attempting to divert attention from the broader structural flaws that require fundamental reform.

In conclusion, Gregory Mannarino’s appearance on Liberty and Finance painted a stark picture of the challenges facing the American economy.

His insights into the limitations of the fiat currency system, the inadequacies of Federal Reserve audits, and the dangers of deregulation serve as a potent warning for consumers to remain vigilant and demand greater accountability from those entrusted with managing the nation’s financial affairs.

 His commentary serves as a stark reminder that understanding the complexities of the banking system and the policies that shape it is crucial for protecting one’s financial future in an increasingly volatile economic environment.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TWO NEW FEDERAL LAWSUITS CHALLENGE TRUMP, MUSK AND DOGE ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS

WASHINGTON — More than a dozen state attorneys general and numerous current and former government employees filed lawsuits Thursday aiming to stop billionaire Elon Musk from shuttering federal agencies.

The two complaints allege the far-reaching power Musk has asserted under the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is a violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The clause stipulates presidential appointments must come under the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TWO NEW FEDERAL LAWSUITS CHALLENGE TRUMP, MUSK AND DOGE ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS

WASHINGTON — More than a dozen state attorneys general and numerous current and former government employees filed lawsuits Thursday aiming to stop billionaire Elon Musk from shuttering federal agencies.

The two complaints allege the far-reaching power Musk has asserted under the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is a violation of the Constitution’s Appointments Clause. The clause stipulates presidential appointments must come under the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.

“Questions regarding Defendant Musk’s and DOGE’s role, scope of authority, and proper appointment processes are not merely academic. Plaintiffs — among countless other American individuals and entities — have had their lives upended as a result of the actions undertaken by Defendants Musk and DOGE,” according to a complaint filed by 26 unnamed former and current employees in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.

The employees, though unidentified, collectively have decades of service at federal agencies, including USAID, where on Feb. 2 Musk’s DOGE personnel broke into the agency’s headquarters.

Citing damages to their careers and financial security, the plaintiffs are seeking the court to block “Defendant Musk and his DOGE subordinates from performing their significant and wide-ranging duties unless and until Defendant Musk is properly appointed pursuant to the U.S. Constitution.”

Democratic attorneys general

Fourteen state attorneys general filed a separate lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, requesting the court block further action from Musk and DOGE. The lawsuit also names President Donald Trump as a defendant.

Trump established the U.S. DOGE Service on his first night in office via executive order, and created the entity as a temporary organization with the purposes of modernizing government technology. Presidents do not have the power to create new federal agencies; by law only Congress can.

Musk is a “special government employee,” according to the White House.

The state attorneys general also argue that Musk’s actions, with Trump’s blessing, are violating the law governing temporary organizations under the executive branch.

“By its plain terms, this limited authorization does not amount to a carte blanche grant of authority to the Executive to create new federal agencies from whole cloth,” according to the complaint.

In the first three weeks of Trump’s administration, Musk and his personnel — most of whom worked at one of Musk’s private companies — have accessed the backend of numerous government agencies, including the Department of Treasury’s central payment system, and orchestrated the ouster of civil servants.

Musk has touted on X canceling millions upon millions in government payments and contracts.

Lawsuits pile up

The two lawsuits Thursday are just the latest among scores of legal challenges piling up against Musk and Trump.

Musk has lashed out on X, his own social media platform, against federal judges who have issued injunctions against the Trump administration.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said the U.S. Constitution was “founded in part to guard against the accumulation of state power in the hands of a single individual.

And while that construction was first focused on the abuse of power of an 18th-century monarch, it is no less dangerous in the hands of a 21st-century tech tycoon,” Torrez said during a virtual Thursday press conference alongside Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Mayes said Americans are witnessing an “ongoing coup against the Constitution of the United States as we speak.”

“The richest man in the world is now running roughshod over the authority of federal agencies in violation of the rule of law and the Constitution,” Mayes said.

Nessel said Musk’s actions are “by far the largest and most urgent concern of the individuals, Michiganders, who have been reaching out to my office.”
]
“It’s left them feeling hopeless and paralyzed to protect themselves, their personal information, critical funding, programming and jobs that they depend on,” Nessel said during the press conference.

State attorneys general from California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, also joined the lawsuit.

Musk’s estimated wealth is $379 billion, according to Bloomberg’s billionaire index cited by the government employee plaintiffs. Musk owns Tesla, SpaceX, Neurolink, xAI and X, formerly known as Twitter. During the 2024 presidential election cycle, Musk was the top donor to Trump and Republicans at $288 million.

MICHIGAN BECOMES LATEST STATE TO PROPOSE CRYPTO RESERVE BILL

A bill filed in Michigan’s House would allow the state to buy crypto and lend it out to increase yields for state funds.

Michigan has become the latest US state to propose a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill, bringing the total number of states moving crypto reserve-related legislation to 20.

On Feb. 13, Representatives Bryan Posthumus and Ron Robinson introduced HB 4087 to amend the state’s Management and Budget Act to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

The move makes Michigan the 20th US state with legislation for state crypto investments pending a vote.

Michigan can and should join Texas in leading on crypto policy by signing into law my bill creating the Michigan Crypto Strategic Reserve,” Posthumus said on X. Texas Senator Charles Schwertner had filed a similar bill to the state’s Senate on Feb. 12.

The Michigan bill would allow the state’s treasurer to invest in crypto from both the general fund and economic stabilization fund with a cap of 10%. The bill doesn’t specify any limits or guidelines for what cryptocurrencies can be bought for the reserve.

The bill also includes a provision for lending crypto, saying that “if cryptocurrency can be loaned without increasing financial risk to this state, the state treasurer is permitted to loan the cryptocurrency to yield further return to this state.”

The state must hold crypto directly through secure custody solutions or exchange-traded products from registered investment companies.

Michigan’s state pension fund already has exposure to Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds.

Posthumus also floated the idea of “MichCoin” in a Feb. 13 X post, which he said was “a stablecoin, which I believe the state of Michigan should create” that he said would “have real value — tied to our gold and silver reserves.”

There are currently 20 US states that have crypto reserve bills that have advanced beyond the level of a House committee.

The most recent state to propose or amend a crypto bill was Texas, which filed for legislation this week to allow the state to invest and trade crypto assets. North Dakota, meanwhile, is the only state to have rejected legislation regarding crypto investments.

Iraq’s market turns away from “old US Dollar”

Deeply entrenched since the 2003 US invasion, the dollar has become a cornerstone of Iraq’s economy, fueling oil exports, trade, and daily transactions, effectively operating as a parallel currency. However, older banknotes, especially pre-2003 issues, face growing rejection from traders and exchange offices.

Tishwash: this is about old dollar notes ... or is it?

Iraq’s market turns away from “old US Dollar”

Deeply entrenched since the 2003 US invasion, the dollar has become a cornerstone of Iraq’s economy, fueling oil exports, trade, and daily transactions, effectively operating as a parallel currency. However, older banknotes, especially pre-2003 issues, face growing rejection from traders and exchange offices.

Dollar in Iraqi Economy

The US dollar holds a significant position in Iraq's economy, functioning almost as a secondary currency. This prominence is rooted in the economic restructuring that followed the 2003 US invasion, during which the United States assisted in establishing the Central Bank of Iraq. Consequently, the dollar became deeply integrated into Iraq's financial system, especially given the country's substantial informal economy that relies heavily on cash transactions.

Iraq's oil industry, accounting for nearly 99% of the country’s exports, operates primarily in US dollars. This reliance reinforces the dollar’s dominance while closely linking Iraq’s economic stability to fluctuations in the US currency.

In Iraq, the old-design $100 US banknote, particularly those printed in 2003 or earlier, is commonly referred to as “Al-Ammani.” The term dates back to the 1990s when this denomination was widely circulated in Amman, Jordan. Due to strong trade ties between Iraq and Jordan at the time, the nickname made its way into Iraq.

Turns Away from Old Dollar Bills

Over time, new versions of the $100 bill with enhanced security features were introduced, making older editions less common in circulation.

Ahmed Sadiq, owner of Al-Aws exchange office, told Shafaq News that “some currency exchange offices refuse to buy old-design US dollar banknotes from customers,” noting that others accept them but at a rate 2,000 to 3,000 dinars lower than the market price.

He added that some exchange offices stamp certain dollar banknotes with a special office seal to avoid disputes, “because some customers have returned dollar bills to exchange offices, claiming they were counterfeit and alleging they had purchased them from those offices.”

“Marking foreign currency with a seal could create difficulties for buyers when trying to exchange them abroad,” he acknowledged.

For his part, Jowad Malik, owner of Al-Fas exchange office, told Shafaq News that “the reluctance to deal with old-design US dollars stems from counterfeiting cases in Turkiye and Jordan and rumors of such banknotes entering Iraq.” He noted that “many exchange office owners no longer accept them, considering them a thing of the past, or they buy them at a discount of up to 20,000 dinars or more—mainly those who can exchange them at the central bank.”

He also pointed out that many exchange offices refuse to handle $1 bills sometimes even $5 bills, despite neighboring countries accepting, assuming that this is largely influenced by major traders who dominate dollar transactions.

In addition, Iraqi trader Haider Al-Hassani told Shafaq News that he completely avoids dealing with old US dollar banknotes “to prevent counterfeiting risks,” as “older notes lack clear security features.”

Al-Hassani added that he also refrains from trading even in new US dollar bills, stating that “economic security regulations prohibit their exchange at market rates.”

Official Stance and Banking Regulations

Director General of Accounting at the Central Bank, Ihsan Shammran, stated to Shafaq News that “all US dollar banknotes issued by the Federal Reserve remain in circulation, and there are no directives from the bank suggesting otherwise, provided the notes are authentic and not counterfeit.”

He added that “the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and commercial banks continue to accept all denominations and past series of US dollar banknotes as long as they are genuine.”

Regarding the legitimacy of refusing the banknotes, the financial expert and former CBI Director General, Mahmoud Dagher, explained to Shafaq News that “no matter what happens, neither the public, traders, nor exchange office owners can be forced to accept old-design US dollars,” calling the practice a matter of personal discretion. link

“The ceremony included the signing of an air transport agreement between the Iraqi and Czech civil aviation authorities, as well as a memorandum of understanding between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade.”

The media office added that “a draft memorandum of understanding was signed between the Ministries of Interior of Iraq and the Czech Republic, along with a cooperation memorandum between the Iraqi and Czech Federations of Industries, another between the Iraqi and Czech Chambers of Commerce, and a letter of intent with the Iraqi Ministry of Environment.” link

Tishwash:  Valentine's Day gifts, led by the Tahoe, revive local markets in Iraq

Valentine's Day gift shops witnessed a state of peak and alert during the past two days, as the demand for buying gifts that reflect feelings of love and affection between spouses and lovers increased.

Ibrahim Ali, owner of a gift shop, told Baghdad Today, “Valentine’s Day begins on February 14, and this occasion has begun to witness an increasing presence in Iraqi society, especially in recent years.”

He explained that "there is a real demand for buying gifts by couples, but what is interesting is that the subject is not limited to the youth or newlyweds, but even the elderly, which reflects a message of affection and mercy between spouses and the continuation of the marital relationship. It is an expression of gratitude, communication and harmony, and is a beautiful moment."

Ali added, "Today is the peak day for us, and there is a great demand for buying Valentine's Day gifts, but the level of demand varies from year to year. In some years, demand was very high, and in other years it was low, and this is affected by economic and security factors that put pressure on the level of purchasing."

For his part, Wasfi Karim, who is also a gift seller, pointed out that “the purchasing rate in the past few days was somewhat good, but less than last year, and we hope that today will witness a greater turnout, especially since the weather and general atmosphere encourage celebrating Valentine’s Day, although the economic situation still affects the rates of celebration.”

Karim explained that “a large portion of his customers are shy, so when someone buys a gift for Valentine’s Day, they put it in a dark bag, trying to hide their celebration of this occasion. This reflects an individual privacy that cannot be generalized.”

In a related context, Wajdi Al-Azzawi, owner of a gift and materials sales agency, said, “Valentine’s Day gifts are prepared early, up to a month or two, and are distributed to a large number of shops in Baqubah and the cities of Diyala, and even in the countryside there is a demand for them.”

He told Baghdad Today, "This phenomenon reflects the community's interaction with the occasion, even though we are in a conservative environment, and there are calls to reduce the celebration of Valentine's Day, but it seems that the language of love between spouses, even if it is not announced, is increasingly interacting."

Al-Azzawi added, "Society interacts with this occasion in varying degrees. In some years, there are big celebrations, while in other years, the celebration is modest. Therefore, there are many factors that affect the celebration of Valentine's Day."

In turn, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi stated that "there is an increase in demand for Tahoe cars on Valentine's Day."

Al-Marsoumi pointed out on his Facebook account, which was followed by Baghdad Today, that “Valentine’s Day is one of the most prominent commercial seasons in the world, as it witnesses a significant increase in spending rates on gifts and celebrations, which enhances the movement of markets and supports many economic sectors, from trade to hospitality and tourism. The travel sector also witnesses a noticeable recovery during this occasion, which prompts airlines and hotels to launch special offers to enhance tourism.” 

Al-Marsoumi added, “Valentine’s Day has some positive effects on various economies, as estimates from the Ornamental Plants and Products Exporters Association indicate that Turkey exported about 75 million roses to Europe, worth up to $10 million. These roses were exported to 30 countries, most notably the Netherlands, Britain, Germany and Romania, driven by Valentine’s Day events this year.

 In the United States, consumer spending on this occasion rises to more than $20 billion, which leads to accelerating the growth rate of the gross domestic product there,” noting that “the impact will be limited in developing countries, including Iraq, as the increase in consumer spending will lead to an increase in imports without leaving a positive impact on the economy.”

The economic expert added, "Iraqis spend a lot of money on travel on Valentine's Day, especially since Iraq's average annual spending on tourism, according to World Bank estimates, is $7.5 billion," adding, "This is due to the poor distribution of income in Iraq, which is represented by a small segment of the population controlling the largest part of the national income. There are 36 billionaires in Iraq, each of whom owns more than a billion dollars, and according to a French study, there are 16 thousand millionaires, each of whom owns between one million and one billion dollars."

He added, "Because of this, Valentine's Day this year witnessed a great demand from these rich people for Tahoe cars as gifts presented on this occasion, noting that the price of the Tahoe is about 100 million dinars, which is equivalent to the monthly salaries of about 150 employees."

Valentine's Day, or as it is known, Love's Day, is one of the social occasions celebrated by the world and Iraqis in February of each year, where people compete to buy gifts and present them to their partners, as gifts and their shops are colored red, expressing the color of the heart, in a step that expresses sharing love.  link

JUDGE REMOVES KEY LEGAL HURDLE FOR TRUMP’S PLAN TO TRIM FEDERAL WORKFORCE WITH DEFERRED RESIGNATIONS

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday removed a key legal hurdle stalling President Donald Trump ’s plan to downsize the federal workforce with a deferred resignation program.

The Boston-based judge’s order in the challenge filed by a group of labor unions was a significant legal victory for the Republican president after a string of courtroom setbacks.

“This goes to show that lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will of 77 million Americans who supported President Trump and his priorities,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Another group of unions filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. late Wednesday, though its potential impacts were not immediately clear.

About 75,000 federal workers accepted the offer to quit in return for being paid until Sept. 30, according to McLaurine Pinover, a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management.

She said the deferred resignation program “provides generous benefits so federal workers can plan for their futures,” and it was now closed to additional workers.

American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley said in a statement that the union’s lawyers are assessing the next steps.

“Today’s ruling is a setback in the fight for dignity and fairness for public servants,”
 Kelley said. “But it’s not the end of that fight. Importantly, this decision did not address the underlying lawfulness of the program.”

The union continues to maintain that it’s illegal to force American citizens to make a decision, in a few short days, without adequate information, about “whether to uproot their families and leave their careers for what amounts to an unfunded IOU from Elon Musk,” the statement said.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. in Boston found that the unions weren’t directly affected, so they didn’t have legal standing to challenge the programcommonly described as a buyoutO’Toole was nominated by former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat.

BRICS: US TRADE WAR, TARIFFS HAS GLOBAL MARKETS PREPARING FOR THE WORST

With geopolitical tensions reaching a fever pitch, the brewing BRICS and US trade war driven by the implementation of new Trump tariffs has global markets preparing for the worst.

Indeed, the US President has continued to forward his aggressive economic policy. Subsequently, it has driven the world to respond as concern rises.

Throughout his campaign for reelection, Trump was adamant that tariffs would be a reality of his returning administration. To this point, he has kept to that word. Yet, the implications of that are beginning to come into view. Moreover, global markets are preparing for them to be dire.

BRICS & US Tensions Push Gold to All-TIme High as Experts Fear for the Worst

The US President has made no qualms about his belief in the US dollar. Indeed, he has maintained his position that the greenback’s status is of the utmost importance. 

Last year, he told American citizens that losing its global reserve position would be akin to the nation losing a war.

The effort to preserve the currency’s status has led him to engage with the global south in growing and concerning tensions. As the BRICS bloc and the US prepare for a potential trade war, the global market share is operating for the worst from the continued arrival of Trump tariffs.

The US is set to impose tariffs on metals coming from North American neighbors Canada and Mexico, as well as China. This has led to retaliate tariffs and plummeting base metal prices. Moreover, gold has surged to an all-time high as investors have rushed to the safe haven asset.

Specifically, it reached a price of $2,818 according to Reuters. Meanwhile, US gold futures edged 0.8% higher Wednesday, reaching $2,857.

Financial experts are projecting widespread economic impacts from the ongoing tariffs and retaliatory import taxes. Specifically, with 75% of annual exports from Canada and Mexico to the US coming in the form of metals, they project notable ramifications.

CNN reported that China is preparing a countermeasure” to the Trump tariffs. However, things between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have been “very good,” according to experts. So, there is the belief that the two could work to avoid a trade war, despite the opposing stance.

Ultimately, growing tensions will drive production costs and consumer prices and alter trade dynamics. These are all realities that BRICS, the US, and global markets must prepare for. How greatly they impact the world, however, remains to be seen.
