Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Donald Trump with this daily recap compiled by The Fly.
Following the Trump administration’s approval of a weapons sale to Taiwan, the Chinese government imposed sanctions on 20 U.S. defense companies and 10 of their executives, with targets including Northrop Grumman (NOC), Boeing’s (BA) defense unit, and founder of Anduril Industries Palmer Luckey, Stu Woo of The Wall Street Journal report. Beijing intends to freeze the assets of the entities, ban them from Chinese transactions, and prohibit the executives from entering China.
According to on-chain data, Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) moved approximately 2,000 bitcoin (BTC-USD) worth roughly $174M through a series of wallets. This activity comes just a day after the company reportedly increased its total holdings to 11,542 BTC following a purchase of 451 tokens. Data indicates that while about $12M was routed to Coinbase (COIN) Prime Custody—a storage solution for institutions—the remainder was transferred to other linked wallets, implying active treasury management rather than an immediate sale. The on-chain maneuvering coincides with a rally in the company’s equity, which has surged over 30% in the past five trading days to trade around $14.
At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with Nigerian authorities, U.S. Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on December 25, 2025, in Sokoto State, according to a statement. The command’s initial assessment is that multiple ISIS terrorists were killed in the ISIS camps, the U.S. Africa Command said.
“U.S. Africa Command is working with Nigerian and regional partners to increase counterterrorism cooperation efforts related to on-going violence and threats against innocent lives,” said Gen. Dagvin Anderson, commander, U.S. Africa Command. “Our goal is to protect Americans and to disrupt violent extremist organizations wherever they are.”
