April 1 (Reuters) - More than 50% of Ukrainians are critical of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace efforts, fearing they are likely to lead to a partly unjust or completely unfair end to Russia's war on their country, a Ukrainian pollster said on Tuesday. ... The Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) said it based its findings on a survey of 1,326 people on Ukrainian-held territory from March 12-22. It said that 32% of respondents expected "rather an unjust peace, although with the fulfilment of some of Ukraine's demands", while 22% expected a "totally unjust peace". Only 3% said they believed Trump could bring about a just peace with 15% expecting a "rather just peace, although with some concessions to Russia", it added.

NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Trump if one potential avenue to a third term was having Vice President JD Vance run for the top job and “then pass the baton to you.” “Well, that’s one,” Trump responded. “But there are others too. There are others.” “Can you tell me another?” Welker asked. “No,” Trump replied. Kakav živi spomenik gluposti

Reverzna evolucija a.k.a. majmunizacija MAGA glasača: Before the election our YouGov polling showed that just 12% of Republican voters thought that Canada was “unfriendly” or an “enemy”. In the most recent survey, which took place between March 22nd and 25th, that share more than doubled to 27% (these negative feelings were increasing before the election, too). Similarly, last year 17% of Republicans viewed the EU as “unfriendly” or as an “enemy”; that has now grown to 29%. Perceptions of Russia are moving in the opposite direction. After its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 Americans were united in condemnation: around 85% of registered voters thought that Russia was “unfriendly” to or an “enemy” of America. That share remained steady until the presidential election in 2024. Then views split along party lines. Now 72% of Republican voters think Russia is a foe. Over the same period the share of Republicans who think Ukraine is hostile rose by ten percentage points

Posledica gumi defekta opet prijeti Zelenskom i Ukrajini: ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, March 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wants to back out of a critical minerals deal, warning the Ukrainian leader would face big problems if he did. "He's trying to back out of the rare earth deal and if he does that he’s got some problems, big, big problems," Trump told reporters. "He wants to be a member of NATO, but he's never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that."

Nismo odavno imali ništa iz crkni sirotiljo (sa posebnim naglaskom na ženskoj sirotilji) opusa, pa da se ne osjete zapostavljenima: March 31 (Reuters) - Reproductive health provider Planned Parenthood said on Monday the Trump administration would cut federal family planning funding as of Tuesday, affecting birth control, cancer screenings and other services for low-income people. Planned Parenthood said that nine of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as Title X, which has supported healthcare services for the poor since 1970. The Wall Street Journal reported last week the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services planned an immediate freeze of $27.5 million in family planning grants for groups including Planned Parenthood.

Ovo samo po sebi neće, moguće da će im otkinuti neki procenat ovih koji su im prišli nedavno, za njihove hard-core glasače ovo je vjerovatno podmetnuo Makron da ih ocrni. Ono što može da se desi je da se stranka pocijepa oko kandidata na predsjedničkim izborima 2027. Retailleau (Retajo) i Republikanci su za mene predstavnici bogate desnice i establišmenta, nisam siguran da je RN nacional-gologuzija u velikoj ljubavi sa tim ljudima, bez obzira što su u poslednje vrijeme zaoštrili retoriku prema Arapima (pošto realno glasači RN mrze Arape, neki od njih vjerovatno mrze i crnce, mada u mnogo manjoj mjeri, ka ostalim imigrantima su prilično indiferentni, pravi anti-imigrantski pokreti koji mrze sve imigrante i koji su u fazonu Francuska Francuzima su baš neke marginalne grupe, možda ovi identitarci od velikog Srbina Gujona). Mene zanima da li tu nešto može da ugrabi pacov Zemour i njegova verzija fašizma sa primjesama cionizma, pošto se on profilisao kao favorit ovih ludaka koji su došli na vlast u SAD i imaće njihovu podršku, s tim da tu predstoji borba za poziciju lidera između Zemoura, njegove ribe Sare Knafo (inače oboje su sjevernoafrički jevreji i za posao white power lidera ih oboje malo jebe lični opis) i Marion Marechal (Marinijine sestrične, koja je bila predsjednički kandidat ispred te stranke).

Nema ko štedi, nego ko otima 😄 How the Trump family took over a crypto firm as it raised hundreds of millions LONDON/NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - As World Liberty Financial raised more than half a billion dollars, President Donald Trump’s family took control of the crypto venture and grabbed the lion’s share of those funds, aided by governance terms that industry experts say favor insiders. Launched last fall, World Liberty’s goal is to allow people to access financial services using cryptocurrencies and without intermediaries like banks in what is called decentralized finance, or DeFi. But it has yet to launch a public platform and has reported only a small staff, a review of the project shows. Even so, World Liberty said in mid-March it had raised $550 million selling so-called governance tokens. Most of those sales took place after Trump’s election win in November, Reuters calculations show. The tokens, which go by the symbol $WLFI, give holders the right to vote on changes to the project’s underlying code and to signal their opinion on its direction and plans. They cannot be traded. As its fundraising got traction, World Liberty disclosed in January that the Trump family had taken control of the business, a review of changes in the fine print on World Liberty’s website shows. Two of its co-founders, crypto entrepreneurs Zak Folkman and Chase Herro, were replaced as the controlling parties of World Liberty by an entity in which the Trump family holds a 60% stake. The changes have not been previously reported. Overall, the Trump family now has a claim on 75% of net revenues from token sales and 60% from World Liberty operations once the core business gets going. The arrangement means the Trump family is currently entitled to about $400 million in fees. After World Liberty's co-founders take their cut, the crypto venture will be left with 5% of the $550 million raised to date to build the platform, according to Reuters calculations. The arrangements, including the Trump family’s large share of the project’s revenues and the non-tradeable nature of the governance tokens, make World Liberty unusually centralized for the industry, according to a survey of the practices of the five largest DeFi lending platforms and interviews with four U.S. academics who study the crypto industry. "It's hard for me to see any economic benefit to the owner of these tokens," said Jim Angel, an associate professor at Georgetown University who has written about DeFi regulation. David Krause, a longtime finance professor at Marquette University in Milwaukee who recently published a study of World Liberty, said that the structure of the project “pretty much excludes public investors or token holders from any meaningful financial participation.” A White House spokesperson referred questions about World Liberty to the Trump Organization. The Trump Organization's chief legal officer and the president's two older sons, who are executives at the company, did not respond to requests for comment. The Trump Organization announced in January that the president's investments, assets and business interests would be held in a trust managed by his children and he would play no role in day-to-day operations or decision-making. The family's business also retained an attorney to serve as an ethics adviser to "avoid any perceived conflicts of interest." Folkman and Herro did not reply to Reuters questions in person and in writing. In a post on social media platform X on March 14, World Liberty said it “is a DeFi project with a tremendous mission to build and democratize a new financial system for the benefit of millions.” At a conference in February, Herro said the plan was to open crypto investing to everyday Americans such as teachers, dentists and firemen. His business partner, Donald Trump Jr, the president's son, has complained about the family being excluded from traditional banking in the aftermath of his father's first term. CRYPTO PRESIDENT The Trump family’s investment in World Liberty ties the personal fortunes of a sitting U.S. president to an asset class that sits at the outer edges of both risk and regulation. Trump has promised to be the “crypto president,” who will popularize its mainstream use in America. He has said he backs crypto because it can improve the banking system and increase the dominance of the U.S. dollar. At the same time, the Trump family, long rooted in skyscrapers and country clubs, has opened beachheads in crypto, quickly gaining hundreds of millions of dollars. A so-called meme coin promoted by Trump has generated at least $349 million in fees for entities connected to the president, according to crypto data firm Chainalysis. The prospect of Trump and his family benefiting from deregulation has drawn criticism from his political opponents and some government ethics experts who say it creates the potential for conflicts of interest and influence peddling. "You've got the guy in charge who is responsible for his own regulation," said Ross Delston, a former U.S. banking regulator who has acted as an expert witness on anti-money laundering issues for the government. Delston also pointed to the potential for people buying $WLFI tokens to earn political favor. It would be “the perfect vehicle,” he said, for governments or oligarchs overseas “to funnel money to the president." World Liberty has attracted well-heeled buyers: Almost 70% of the money raised came from wallets that spent at least $100,000, and more than 50% was buys of $1 million or more, according to a Reuters analysis of publicly available information on transactions. While buyers of $WLFI gave their names to the venture, the identity of nearly all of those big spenders is hidden from public view by anonymous crypto wallets. Among a handful of buyers that Reuters was able to identify, several said they bought into the token because they believed Trump’s involvement would help it succeed as a business. ‘LET’S GO PURSUE IT’ World Liberty’s beginnings lie in the convergence of two obscure figures on the crypto scene and some of the most powerful people in American politics. Folkman and Herro entered Trump circles via the family of New York real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, a longtime Trump friend who is now also his envoy to the Mideast. The two crypto entrepreneurs had already collaborated on several companies together focused on making money from online ventures. Their business background includes past instances of dissolution, litigation and unpaid debts, according to corporate records, state filings and U.S. court documents. Early in his career, Folkman offered seminars on how to “date hotter girls.” 😂 Steve Witkoff said he was introduced to the pair by one of his sons, when speaking about how the deal came together on a crypto podcast hosted in September by the Trump family. After meeting the two crypto businessmen and hearing them speak about the difficulties of getting credit in traditional finance, Witkoff said he thought of the Trumps. He set up a meeting with Donald Trump and his two oldest sons for Herro and Folkman to describe the opportunities of DeFi. The Trumps, Witkoff said, were smitten: “We said, ‘Let’s go pursue it.’” Witkoff did not respond to requests for comment. Despite Trump’s backing, token sales were slow at first. According to a U.S. regulatory filing by the company dated October 30 - around two weeks after World Liberty sales had begun - the venture’s total amount sold was only $2.7 million. Then, on November 25, less than three weeks after Trump won the U.S. election, Justin Sun, a Hong Kong-based crypto entrepreneur who was fighting a U.S. securities fraud lawsuit, announced that he’d sunk $30 million into $WLFI - the amount the company said it needed to jumpstart operations. “His amount was pretty meaningful at that point,” said “Ogle”, a World Liberty security adviser who only goes by that pseudonym and has appeared in video interviews with his face obscured by a bandana and sunglasses. Sun has said his investment has since risen to $75 million. As well as its single-largest known investor, he has become an advisor to the project. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in February paused its case against him, citing public interest. Sun didn’t respond to a request for comment. The SEC declined to comment. TAKING CHARGE Initially, Herro and Folkman were listed as the “sole directors and members” of World Liberty Financial Inc, the main entity developing the platform, according to World Liberty’s terms and conditions, last updated in October. On January 19 and 20 - the day of Trump’s inauguration - World Liberty raised almost $300 million in a frenzy of token sales, according to a Reuters analysis of blockchain data. Around that time, its website was updated to say WLF Holdco LLC now controlled World Liberty Financial Inc. And DT Marks DeFi LLC – Trump’s company – now held about 60% of WLF Holdco. It did not disclose who owns the rest. The president’s son, Eric, also gained a seat on WLF Holdco’s board of managers. Reuters could not ascertain the terms of any deals between Trump and his partners that led to the changes. Angel, the Georgetown professor, said the corporate structure had put several layers of entities between Trump and World Liberty, protecting the president from any potential legal action should something go wrong. “He can say: ‘You can't sue me because I'm not involved’,” Angel said. AN OUTLIER The five largest DeFi lending platforms, as ranked by data site DefiLlama, all have governance tokens that give holders voting rights. But unlike World Liberty, those five platforms either allocated the majority of their governance tokens to be given away for free to users, sold them to venture capitalists in return for money to build the platform, or paid them to partners in return for building the project. World Liberty governance tokens lack another critical feature of those issued by other DeFi platforms – the ability of token holders to vote for the platform to pay them a share of its profits. World Liberty has told token holders any vote to breach its existing deals with Trump and other backers would have no force, according to a 13-page description of the business released in October. Folkman told a New York audience on March 18 that the company is working on three main products, including a “lend and borrow” market that would be announced soon and a personal finance application. World Liberty also said in March that it is planning to launch a stablecoin, known as USD1, that will be backed by assets such as U.S. Treasuries and redeemable for a dollar. One company that World Liberty has collaborated with is Ondo Finance. The startup, founded in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs employees, lets users buy blockchain-based tokens backed by U.S. Treasuries and other assets such as money market funds, thereby earning interest. The two companies said in a statement that they would collaborate to “advance the adoption of tokenized real-world assets.” “They're all in early stages, but we're exploring what they're doing at a very high level,” Nathan Allman, Ondo’s CEO, told Reuters. While World Liberty has also used some of the money it raised to invest in other cryptocurrencies, it has yet to launch a DeFi platform. Two software developers listed on World Liberty's website are based in Romania, according to their social media profiles. Octavian Lojnita was previously a developer at Dough Finance, a Herro and Folkman project that collapsed last year after being hacked, according to Lojnita's online profile and the publicly available source code of Dough. The online handle for a second developer at Dough matches that of Bogdan Purnavel, also at World Liberty. Lojnita declined to discuss his involvement in World Liberty. Purnavel referred questions to World Liberty. The coding for contracts posted to the project’s blockchain – a public-facing database – shows that World Liberty “appears to still be in development, with several functionalities not yet implemented or fully operational,” according to a review in late March by CertiK, a cybersecurity company that audits projects for security flaws.

Malo o poslovima našeg brata Jareda Kushnera, udato prezime tranp: Kushner's Affinity's assets jump to $4.8 billion after Gulf cash injection LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Jared Kushner's investment company Affinity Partners saw assets under management jump 60% last year to $4.8 billion, according to a regulatory filing, after it received a cash injection from Middle East investors including Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, launched the investment firm in 2021 after leaving the White House at the end of President Donald Trump's first term, when he was a top adviser on the Middle East. Affinity secured $1.5 billion of extra capital in 2024 from two of its existing investors - Abu Dhabi-based Lunate and Qatar's sovereign wealth fund the Qatar Investment Authority - Kushner told an investment podcast in December. He said the increased capital would give the fund "more firepower" and had been closed before Trump was re-elected for a second term. That injection helped lift its assets under management to $4.8 billion by the end of 2024, up from $3 billion the prior year, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the company name A Fin Management LLC. The sole owner of the company is Jared Kushner, the filing said. Saudi Arabia has invested $2 billion in Affinity Partners, according to congressional investigators. Bar tri četvrtine investitora su mu strane države (Lunate je nominalno privatni fond, ali je njegov osnivač Khalifa al-Suwaidi proxy za Emirate i našeg drugog brata bin Zajeba) koje izuzetno štuju vladavinu prava i individualne slobode. Čisto da se zna kod koga je daljinski za dobrog Jareda.

Make Europe Great Again trades are gaining traction LONDON, March 31 (Reuters) - A more independent, less U.S.-reliant Europe is taking shape and investors sense opportunities in a long-shunned region that go beyond just snapping up defence shares. Yes, there is reason for caution since massive German spending on defence and infrastructure will take time to be felt. Yet many are playing the long game. "It seems that MEGA (Make Europe Great Again) trades are now rapidly replacing MAGA trades, which have lost their appeal," said Mark Dowding, CIO at RBC's BlueBay fixed income team, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement. 1/ DEFENCE FIRST Brussels' plan to mobilise up to 800 billion euros ($866 billion) for rearmament and German fiscal expansion mean defence stocks remain fertile ground for investors, even after their surge since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. European aerospace and defence stocks (.SXPARO) have gained 33% this year, and valuation multiples have topped those of U.S. peers, reaching levels associated with luxury or tech. Tankmaker Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE) was briefly more expensive than Ferrari (RACE.MI) this month, trading at 44 times its expected earnings, highlighting investor willingness to pay a premium for exposure to this long-term trend. Defence companies' expected average yearly profit growth to 2028 range from 8% for BAE (BAES.L) to 32% for Rheinmetall, Citi estimates. The European Union wants to buy more European arms, but it's a challenge. Since 2022, 78% of EU procurement has gone outside the bloc, with 63% to the U.S., European Commission data show. And after a broad rally, some advise caution. Vontobel fund manager Markus Hansen believes investors should focus on areas with real and pressing demand such as rebuilding depleted ammunition stockpiles and infantry-related equipment. Defence supply chain firms and other sectors including communications meanwhile could benefit. Eutelsat (ETL.PA) has surged 260% this month, driven by suggestions the Franco-British satellite operator could replace Elon Musk's Starlink in providing internet access to Ukraine. "Apart from weaponry, defence is also about logistics, data and communication, and personnel. It's a comprehensive value chain where suppliers play an important role," Evli portfolio manager Tomas Hildebrandt said. Truckmaker Scania, a unit of Traton (8TRA.DE), Atlas Copco (ATCOa.ST), which makes machinery for infrastructure and industrial projects, and construction companies in general, are possible examples, he said. 2/ HEY BOND Whether it's joint EU bonds or more German debt, a wider pool of triple-A rated bonds that supports the euro's reserve currency status is coming. Germany's historic infrastructure and defence spending could add up to more than a trillion euros of additional debt. What's more, the EU plans to jointly borrow up to 150 billion euros backing loans to member states to help increase defence spending, a move even proponents didn't anticipate just months ago. The bonds backing the programme, dubbed SAFE, will boost the EU's roughly 650-billion-euro debt pile. It's a sign the bloc might become a more permanent borrower as investors have long hoped, stepping up to another challenge after its vast COVID-19 recovery fund. The loans, however, are just a small share of the total 800-billion-euro plan, leaving the rest to national governments. 3/ BANKING ON IT European banks (.SX7P) are popular as the fiscal boost brightens the economic outlook, and have surged 26% year-to-date in their best quarter since 2020. Germany's economy should expand roughly 1.4% in 2026 and 2027 after almost four years of stagnation, Berenberg estimates. A March BofA fund manager survey showed banks and insurance are the largest sector overweights in Europe, followed by industrials. "We're positive on banks as higher growth expectations should steepen the (bond) yield curve, which would benefit banks and really spur credit growth," said GlobalX senior investment analyst Trevor Yates, noting the firm has seen strong interest in its DAX German stocks ETF. Investors also expect European regulators will ease rules for banks given a U.S. deregulation drive. BlueBay's Dowding said European bank capital bonds were the firm's largest overweight position in multi-asset credit funds. 4/ PERIPHERAL WINS Spanish and Italian equities (.IBEX), (.FTMIB) are significantly cheaper than those in core Europe, says Societe Generale multi-asset strategist Manish Kabra, leaving them poised for gains. Southern European stocks are also proportionally less exposed to U.S. tariffs than Germany or France and have a large exposure to banks. "There are parallel things going on. One is the German debt brake and for that (mid-cap) MDAX and long euro is your trade, the other is banking regulation, and European nominal GDP growth, both of which impact banks," Kabra said. "That is exactly what the periphery of Europe provides." 5/ RENEWABLE Europe's push to become more energy independent, starting in 2022, is expected to continue, with renewable energy and home-based power firms benefiting, analysts said. The European Commission has put forward an Action Plan to speed up permits for renewable energy projects, change how energy tariffs are set, and increase state aid for clean industries and more flexible power generation. And 100 billion euros of Germany's planned spending increase will be channelled into climate and economic transformation. Solar generation provided 11% of the EU electricity mix in 2024, versus 9.3% in 2023, overtaking coal, think tank Ember says. European utility firms Iberdola (IBE.MC), Endesa (ELE.MC) and Enel (ENEI.MI) have rallied 7-16% so far this year.

Šta se dešava zato što čovjekoliki voli da se kurči: CK Hutchison will not sign deal to sell strategic Panama ports next week, sources say March 28 (Reuters) - Hong Kong's CK Hutchison (0001.HK) will not sign a deal next week to sell its two port operations near the Panama Canal to a BlackRock-led group, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said, as pressure mounted from Beijing. China's market regulator said it will carry out an antitrust review on the Panama port deal in accordance with a law to protect fair competition and safeguard the public interest, its official WeChat account showed late on Friday.
