Live from MMPR News, I'm Jial Snyder.
President Trump was in North Dakota Wednesday for the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Today we come to the heartland of America to pay tribute to a man who embodied the heart and soul and fight and spirit of our country as much as anyone who ever lived.
“And he's a very special man and that's why I'm here President Theodore Roosevelt, and he”
loved your community, he loved your state and he was quite something, he was really quite something. Trump flew to North Dakota, board a new Air Force one, a retrofitted Boeing 747-800 that was a gift from Qatar before leaving for the plane, before leaving for the plane's maiden voyage.
Trump defended his latest mandatory financial disclosure that shows he took in more than a
billion dollars in crypto earnings alone last year, telling reporters that he made the
money because the stock market is up. The earnings includes more than 500 million, related to world liberty financial, the crypto business founded in part by Trump and his sons. Memory chip company, micron technology is making a huge donation to so-called Trump accounts.
The tax advantage, investment accounts for children, and Paris John Ruiz reports.
“micron is committing $250 million to the Trump accounts in honor of the United States”
250th anniversary. It's as it's the largest corporate commitment of its kind and is expected to support up to 1 million children. Trump accounts were created as part of last year's spending package, dubbed a one-big, beautiful bill, and are intended to jump start early savings.
The micron money will match contributions of up to $1,000 by its employees and provide one-time payments to accounts and counties where it operates.
On social media, Trump called the pledge by micron and incredible gesture.
Microns business has been booming lately as demand for memory chips is skyrocketing because of heavy investment in AI-related data centers, shares in the Idaho-based company are up more than 700 percent over the past 12 months. John Ruiz and PR news. Most Americans feel proud of their country, but also worried about its future.
The latest in PR, PPS news, Maris Poll, points to how Americans are feeling ahead of the country's 250th birthday, and PR's "Mahab Javed" has more. Looking ahead, most Americans think America's best days are yet to come. Jason Wittington works in information technology in Missouri and identifies as a moderate. He thinks America's future is promising as long as certain things are taken care of.
In order for our economy to keep growing and for my kids' generation and my grandkids' generation, we gotta get the debt under control. When asked to think ahead to America's 300th birthday, the majority of Americans say they're not too confident or not confident at all about the future for up-and-coming generations. This is in PR.
Round of indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran have wrapped up in Doha. U.S. and Iranian negotiators met separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators and Qatari is reporting positive progress talks are expected to continue after the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader, the I.T.O. O.L.E.H.M.N.A., which is set to start Saturday. Fed Chairman Kevin Worsh has predicted enormous benefits from artificial intelligence, but
also challenges for monetary policy. His remarks came Wednesday at a forum for central bankers in Portugal. That sounds in robbery reports. This was Kevin Worsh's first time as Fed Chairman at the annual forum hosted outside Lisbon by the European Central Bank.
AI taught the list of topics with participants noting the impact the technology is already having on markets and prices. Worsh said the U.S. will be the prime beneficiary from the AI shock, which he said would bring more jobs and greater prosperity, but central bankers must be poised to respond to any untold effects.
The United States is likely to be a big winner over the medium term in this, but we don't view the economics of this as zero sum. Whilst about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling rejecting President Trump's attempted firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook and the President's calls to cut interest rates, Worsh reiterated the institution's independence.
For MP on news, I'm Alison Roberts in Lisbon. The regional stock markets in Asia mostly down in Thursday trading on heavy selling of computer chip stocks, South Korea's benchmark is down more than five and a half percent. I'm Giles Snyder, this is MP R news.
