„Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur, confirmed in an X post Tues. that he was behind the account, labeled »SUN«, that purchased the most $ TRUMP meme coin to sit at the president's table at a crypto-focused gala scheduled for Thurs.
@RonFilipkowski 2).
According to Bloomberg News [1], per the terms of World Liberty's financial structure, 75% of the proceeds of token sales like Sun's get sent to the Trump family as a fee – meaning they may have directly earned as much as $56 million.
@RonFilipkowski 3).
In April, The Wall Street Journal reported [2] that Joe Bidenʼs Justice Department had been investigating Sun, noting that researchers had estimated that more than half of all illicit crypto activity took place on Sun's Tron blockchain platform.”
The G7 finance chiefs condemned what they called Russiaʼs »continued brutal war« against Ukraine and said if ceasfire efforts failed, they would explore all possible options, including »further ramping up sanctions«.

The description of the Ukraine war was watered down from Octoberʼs G7 statement [1], opens new tab, before Trumps re-election, calling it an »illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine«.

Russiaʼs sovereign assets in G7 jurisdictions would remain immobilized until Moscow ended the war and paid for the damage it has caused to Ukraine, the communique said.

As @realDonaldTrump makes headlines by threatening to send more legal U.S. residents (and even citizens) to a gulag in El Salvador, his crypto fortune continues to grow.
@rhonda_harbison @atrupar @SenatorTimScott @TheJusticeDept @realDonaldTrump 3).
And his family is doing business with some decidedly suspect investors who may see unlimited upside in cozying up to the man who is rolling back the rules of the industry.

„ @VoteRandyFine was asked on @FoxNews Thurs. morning how the shooting would affect the ceasefire the U.S. has proposed to Hamas and Israel to end Israel’s 19-month bombardment of Gaza, resulting in the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe.
@_waleedshahid @Shayan86 @VoteRandyFine @FoxNews 2).
Fine’s response was to blame »Muslim terror« and compare Palestinians to the Nazis and imperial Japan during WWII [1].
The bigoted answer from the freshman lawmaker is only the latest example of his prejudice toward Palestinians and Muslims.

„On a call Mon., @POTUS @realDonaldTrump told European leaders that Russian [dictator] Vladimir Pootin isn’t ready to end the Ukraine war because he thinks he is winning...
2).
The acknowledgment was what European leaders had long believed about Pootin – but it was the first time they were hearing it from Trump. It also ran counter to what Trump has often said publicly, that he believes Pootin genuinely wants peace.

[...] Trump said he wanted to proceed quickly with lower-level talks between Russia and Ukraine at the Vatican.
