Trump: It is recommended to impose a 50% tariff directly on the EU from June 1
According to Kim Shi, US President Trump said on social media that the main purpose of the establishment of the EU is to take advantage of the United States in trade, but the EU is difficult to deal with. Their strong trade barriers, value-added tax, absurd corporate penalties, non-monetary trade barriers, currency manipulation, unfair and unreasonable litigation against American companies, etc., have caused the U.S. trade deficit to exceed $25,000,000, which is completely unacceptable. Our discussion with them has made no progress. Therefore, I recommend a direct 50% tariff on the EU from 1 June 2025. If the product is made or produced in the United States, there is no tariff.
Affected by Trump's remarks, European stocks fell by an expanded margin, with the German DAX index, the French CAC40 index and the Spanish IBEX35 index falling by more than 1%, while the Italian FTSE MIB index fell by 2.00% during the day.

WSJ: Several large U.S. banks are exploring joint venture stablecoin projects
According to the Wall Street Journal, large commercial banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, etc. are discussing joint issuance of stablecoins to cope with the growing competition in the crypto industry.

Democratic senators plan to amend GENIUS bill to prevent Trump family from profiting from it
According to Axios, while the majority of U.S. Senate members voted on May 20 to pass a GENIUS bill that regulates payment of stablecoins, senior Democratic leaders are planning to introduce amendments to the bill to resolve President Trump's ties to the cryptocurrency industry. Senate Minority Leaders Chuck Schumer, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley will submit an amendment to the Guidance and Establishment of the U.S. Stablecoin National Innovation Act (GENIUS Act for short) to prevent the U.S. President from profiting from stablecoins.
