Le Monde: Large crowds protest in support of Argentine ex-President Fernández as she starts house arrest

Fernández's tenure saw significant state expansion but also left Argentina with high inflation and deficits, contributing to Milei's rise to power.

Access Advance, a U.S. patent licensing firm, offers 50% discounts to Chinese tech companies while charging American firms full rates, undermining U.S. efforts to address China's unfair trade practices. This preferential treatment raises concerns among trade officials regarding fairness in the tech industry.
The discounts apply to critical video codec technologies, benefiting companies like ByteDance and Tencent, while American platforms face bans in China. This practice contradicts the Trump administration's "America First" trade policy, which aims to combat China's intellectual property theft.
Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: The Fed Goes to War on Tariffs
The Federal Reserve has decided to maintain interest rates despite signs of cooling inflation, citing concerns over President Trump's tariff policies. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that tariffs are expected to drive up prices, which has led to a more aggressive inflation outlook and a cautious approach to potential rate cuts.
Current inflation indicators suggest a decline, yet the Fed is prioritizing anticipated tariff impacts over actual data. The central bank's stance indicates a shift from a purely data-driven policy to a more strategic approach, viewing tariffs as a significant risk to price stability.
