aides

According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Trump recently told his aides that he wants to avoid a protracted war in Iran and hopes to end the conflict in the coming weeks. The problem is that Trump does not have a simple way to end the war, and peace negotiations are still in the early stages. In discussions with external political allies, his attention sometimes shifts to other topics, including the upcoming midterm elections and his decision to send immigration officials to airports and push Congress to pass legislation tightening voter eligibility requirements.A knowledgeable source revealed that Trump had told a colleague that the war was distracting him and preventing him from focusing on other priorities. Another person who recently spoke with Trump indicated that the president seems ready to shift his attention to the next major challenge, but Trump did not disclose what that might be.Some allies hope he will shift his focus to the Cuba issue, while his close advisers want him to concentrate on the issues that voters care about most: the cost of living, which has been exacerbated by the war. White House Press Secretary Levitt stated, "President Trump is very good at multitasking and can handle multiple challenges at once. The president is fully committed to achieving military objectives against Iran. The president's sole goal has always been victory."

According to reports, after negotiations on cryptocurrency market legislation hit a snag in the Senate Agriculture Committee, a Democratic senator's aide stated that the Democratic side is still willing to return to the negotiating table to push for a bipartisan compromise.The aide revealed that at the beginning of the new year, Democratic members were "caught off guard" during the negotiations, as the Republican side drafted a new version of the bill without sufficient consultation and originally planned to move directly into the review process this week. In response, the Democratic side hopes to re-engage with the committee chair, Republican Senator John Boozman's team, before the vote this week to seek a bipartisan consensus.The Senate Agriculture Committee was originally scheduled to hold a markup and voting session on cryptocurrency legislation this Tuesday, but it has been postponed to Thursday due to severe weather in Washington. Meanwhile, some Democratic lawmakers are actively pushing to restart negotiations to reach a bipartisan-approved text before the hearing.The cryptocurrency market structure bill aims to establish a federal-level regulatory framework for digital assets, including clarifying the regulatory division of responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC, as well as related disclosure requirements. Analysts point out that, given that both the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee need to advance their respective versions of the bill, bipartisan cooperation remains a key prerequisite for the smooth progress of the legislation.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Washington Post, three insiders revealed that White House aides have drafted a proposal to impose tariffs of about 20% on at least most goods imported to the U.S.If this plan is implemented, it would have a huge impact on the securities market and the global economy. Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi stated that if permanent tariffs take effect this quarter and provoke strong retaliation from U.S. trading partners, the U.S. economy would almost immediately fall into recession, lasting more than a year, with unemployment rates exceeding 7%. Zandi described this outcome as the worst-case scenario.
