Trump Unveils Economic Strategy on FOX Business

In an interview with FOX Business, former President Trump outlined his plans to rejuvenate the U.S. economy:
Taxes: Trump highlighted his past tax cuts, claiming they led to increased revenue and economic growth. He reiterated support for tax-free tipped wages and suggested that further tax cuts could stimulate the economy and aid in debt reduction.
Tariffs: Trump proposed a reciprocal tariff policy, where the U.S. would impose equivalent tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on American goods. He argued that this strategy would protect U.S. interests and address trade deficits with countries that he claims mistreat the U.S., including both adversaries and allies.
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Trump criticized the push for all-electric cars, pointing out dependency on China for EV production and advocating for a mixed approach that includes hybrids and gasoline-powered vehicles. He argued that while electric cars have their place, they are currently too expensive and impractical for widespread use.
Cryptocurrency: Trump sees a significant potential for cryptocurrency in the U.S. economy, criticizing the Biden administration's approach to regulation. He believes that embracing crypto could position the U.S. as a global leader in this emerging market.
Overall, Trump's economic plan focuses on reducing government waste, implementing strategic tax and tariff policies, diversifying the automotive industry, and embracing technological innovations like cryptocurrency to boost national economic growth and security.

20 countries apply to join BRICS

According to Sergey Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, there are currently about 20 countries applying for membership in the BRICS, and that number is only increasing.
"I can say that, in our view, the Arab world and the Asia-Pacific region have been clearly 'begging' to join BRICS, as they have no representation there today.
But we will see exactly what we can offer to the leaders regarding this, and leave this to the leaders to decide at the summit in Johannesburg," he concluded.

US Debt Relief: Creditor Law Group Wipes Out $1B+

Creditor Law Group has made a significant impact by nullifying over $1 billion in debt for households across the US, providing relief amidst record-high levels of household debt.
As the popularity of debt relief options such as debt invalidation grows, the complex process offers relief by challenging the validity of debt.
Optimal results are achieved by working with specialized lawyers in this field.
"One common method to invalidate debt is to challenge the validity of the related documentation.
During reviews of the relevant paperwork, we have often found that important information is either missing or incomplete.
Sometimes, a creditor may lack the proper documentation to prove that the debt is valid.
In certain cases, debt invalidation can be based on violations of consumer protection laws, as when a creditor engages in unfair or deceptive practices.
Typical violations include harassment by debt collectors, misrepresentation of the amount owed, or unauthorized charges."
Creditor Law Group explains.
