Introduction:
In today’s episode, we cover five major stories shaping the tech and financial landscape. First, Apple is navigating around a new 100% tariff on imported chips by pledging a massive $100 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, a move that is benefiting some global players while challenging others. Next, former President Trump is calling for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s resignation amid concerns over his ties to China, coinciding with a significant loss reported by Intel’s foundry division. We then explore President Trump’s upcoming executive order that could open the door for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to be included in 401(k) retirement plans, potentially unlocking a $43 trillion market. Following that, we dive deeper into Apple’s commitment to U.S. production, including a $2.5 billion expansion to produce iPhone glass in Kentucky, redefining what it means to be “Made in America.” Finally, we examine the growing scrutiny from Senate Democrats over possible “quid pro quo” settlement talks between Google and Donald Trump related to a censorship lawsuit, raising questions amidst ongoing antitrust investigations.
