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.
USMCA: The Trump administration said it does not plan to renew the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade, NBC News’ Steve Kopack reports. Instead of renewing the pact, the U.S. intends to begin a decade of talks on amendments to it, the author says, citing a senior Trump administration official.
TRUMP ACCOUNTS: The U.S. Treasury announced that two BlackRock (BLK) iShares exchange traded funds will be offered among the investment options available under Trump Accounts, a federal initiative designed to enable a generation of American children to begin building wealth from birth. “BlackRock is proud to support Trump Accounts. For generations, U.S. capital markets have been a powerful engine of growth and wealth creation,” said Larry Fink, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BlackRock. “By giving younger Americans the opportunity to start investing earlier, Trump Accounts can help millions build long-term financial security, develop a greater stake in the future of the country, and share more directly in the growth and prosperity of the United States.”
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has discussed with SpaceX (SPCX) the possibility of donating stock to children’s “Trump Accounts,” a move that could deepen the renewed relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, although no contribution or structure has been finalized, Semafor’s Eleanor Mueller and Liz Hoffman report. It’s unclear whether Musk has agreed to contribute any SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts.
CHINESE CHIPS: Apple (AAPL) is in negotiations to purchase chips from two Chinese semiconductor makers, ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies, that are on a Pentagon blacklist in an attempt to reduce the impact of a global memory shortage, Mark Gurman and Maggie Eastland of Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter. Apple CEO Tim Cook reached out to Trump administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, to help soften the political fallout from any possible deal with the Chinese chipmakers, sources told Bloomberg. Apple doesn’t need formal U.S. approval to buy chips from the two companies, but would risk blowback from national security officials should it do so, Bloomberg adds.
