Listen Later

Introduction:

Today’s episode covers five compelling tech and geopolitical stories shaping the global landscape. We begin with how President Trump’s personal cryptocurrency ventures have raised conflict of interest concerns, stalling vital stablecoin legislation in the Senate. Next, over 400 British artists—including Elton John and Dua Lipa—are calling on the UK government to strengthen copyright protections against AI systems that use creative works without consent. Then, we examine ongoing high-stakes tariff negotiations in Geneva between the U.S. and China, as both sides seek to ease trade tensions affecting hundreds of billions in commerce. Following that, Mexico has initiated a lawsuit against Google after the company renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” for U.S. users, igniting a dispute over national sovereignty and digital mapping. Finally, we explore how a sharp decline in foreign tourists to the U.S., driven by trade disputes and immigration concerns, is delivering a significant economic blow to communities reliant on international visitors.
