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.

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.

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.

Eurasian alliance plans its own gold standard

Towards the end of July, news emerged in the Russian media that Moscow and a number of its Eurasian allies are now reviewing a proposal to create an entirely new trading and pricing infrastructure for the international precious metals in order to both destroy London and New York's monopoly over global precious metals pricing and to stabilize the Russian gold market.
The basis of this new structure will be a new, specialized international precious metals brokerage headquartered in Moscow, which will rely on the MWS.
Russia is also proposing to fix prices of precious metals in the national currencies of key member countries or via a new monetary unit - such as the new BRICS currency proposed by Putin.
The price-fixing committee would include central banks and other large banks from the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU).
Member states of the EEU are Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The idea would be to make membership attractive to big gold players like China, India, Venezuela, Peru, and other South American countries.
