India: We will take all measures to defend energy security) (Supplementary background: There is no negotiation space for Trump's tariffs! U.S. Trade Representative Tai: It has been determined that it is impossible to lower them.)

Since TSMC has already established a factory in Arizona, it should also be outside of Trump's exemption list. Trump stated: We will impose approximately a 10% increase on chips and semiconductors.

Authors: Shen Jian Guang, Zhu Tai Hui, Wang Ruo Han Abstract The new U.S. government's cryptocurrency policy framework has returned to the main line of "supporting innovative development". This bill clearly reflects the U.S.'s intention to lead the development of the global stablecoin market. Recently, the U.S. Senate passed the "National Innovation Act on Guidance and Establishing U.S. Stablecoins" (hereinafter referred to as the "Stablecoin GENIUS Act"), which has been submitted to the House of Representatives for review. Although this is not the final version, the main content of the "Stablecoin GENIUS Act" is largely consistent with the "Stablecoin Act" proposed by the House of Representatives, and it is expected that the subsequent framework of ideas will not have significant adjustments. Analyzing the core content of the "Stablecoin GENIUS Act" and considering the information we have gathered from recent communications with relevant institutions in the United States, it appears that the new U.S. government's cryptocurrency policy framework has returned to the main line of "supporting innovative development." This act...
