📢 🇺🇸 🖊 Trump: Today, I am very honored to recognize February 9, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day.
🔶️ On January 20, 2025, I signed Executive Order 14172 (“Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness”). Among other actions, that Executive Order required the Secretary of the Interior, acting pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 364 through 364f, to “take all appropriate actions to rename as the ‘Gulf of America’ the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north, and northwest by the State of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico and Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico.”
🔶️ I took this action in part because, as stated in that Order, “[t]he area formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico has long been an integral asset to our once burgeoning Nation and has remained an indelible part of America.”
🔶️ Today, I am making my first visit to the Gulf of America since its renaming. As my Administration restores American pride in the history of American greatness, it is fitting and appropriate for our great Nation to come together and commemorate this momentous occasion and the renaming of the Gulf of America.
🔶️ NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 9, 2025, as Gulf of America Day. I call upon public officials and all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
🔶️ IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.

🛢 🇺🇸 🔋 The Gulf of America may contain lithium concentrations that are higher than other parts of the world, which could make it a target for deep-sea mining.
🔶️ So, what’s the actual benefit of a quicker and easier regulatory process for companies that don’t appear to need more leases?
💵 “It’s simple,” said Brett Hartl, the Center for Biological Diversity’s government affairs director. “The companies make more money when they have to spend less time and effort on permits and environmental regulations and mitigation.”

🏛 🇺🇸 💵 Trump Suggests Musk Effort at Treasury Found Irregularities
🔶️ “That could be an interesting problem because it could be that a lot of those things don’t count,” he said. “Therefore maybe we have less debt than we thought of.”
🔶️ A federal judge also temporarily blocked Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing some Treasury Department information and ordered the destruction of data they’ve already gathered in response to a lawsuit from a group of states.

🏛 🇺🇸 💵 Trump Orders Treasury Secretary to Stop Minting Pennies
🔶️ It cost 3.69 cents to produce and distribute a penny last year, according to the U.S. Mint’s annual report. This means that, accounting for their face value, each penny made a loss of 2.69 cents.
🔶️ Last year, the Mint issued over three billion pennies, according to its annual report, at a loss of about $85.3 million. Pennies, which are often given as change but rarely spent, accounted for more than half of all the coins the Mint produced that year. There were about 250 billion pennies in circulation, or about 700 per person, in the United States, last year.
🪙 In addition, the elimination of the penny will increase the demand for nickels, which are even more expensive to produce and distribute at 13.78 cents per coin, the organization said. (The dime is the smallest coin whose face value is greater than what it costs to produce.)

Trump Orders Treasury Secretary to Stop Minting Pennies
Can he do that? It’s not clear. But President Trump is right when he says that pennies “literally cost us more than 2 cents.”

🇷🇴🚶🏻♂️➡️⚡️ The Romanian president, Klaus Johannis resigned to avoid the "theatrics" of an impeachment process.
His stepdown will take effect this Wednesday.
The resignation came as a surprise to many, last week, Johannis ruled out quitting his job before the new presidential elections were going to happen. His allies in the government and Parliament, continued to vouch for him saying that Johannis's resignation was not something they wanted to see.
The opposition was relentless in the manner they pursued the impeachment. The motion to suspend the president had been rejected twice in the span of three days by the parliamentary majority using a bunch of legal technicalities. However, today, the parliamentary majority suddenly agreed to discuss the motion, not finding a pretext this time to reject it apparently.
This serves to explain the short notice in which Johannis announced the press conference where at the end he announced his resignation. However, the motion to suspend the president would not have lasted in Parliament as Johannis's government had enough parliamentary support to reject it.. at least in theory. Everyone was aware of the bad image they had because they supported Johannis.
Although the prime-minister said he was "surprised" by Johannis's resignation, this was something they had planned for a while. In his last acts as president, Johannis promulgated the 2025 budget law, a budget which was sped through the Parliament and the opposition was given little time to read and discuss the contents. Johannis also further decorated three judges on the Constitutional Court who had initially secured him a favorable interpretation of the Constitution which allowed him to remain in power longer.
Securing the 2025 budget was an essential priority for the current government and the system who kept Johannis in power as long as it did. Decorating the judges of the CCR was the icing on the cake.
Johannis resigning gives him the honor of being the first Romanian president to leave office through a resignation. No one before him resigned, all presidents ended their constitutionally mandated terms. In Johannis's place, the speaker of the Senate, Ilie Bolojan, will take on his roles.

📈 💰 💵 Gold in US dollar terms is over $2900.
🥇 First time in history.
🔶️ Gold prices jumped more than 1% on Monday to hit a record high, as safe-haven demand surged on fears of a global trade war after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariff plans.
🔶️ Trump announced on Sunday plans to impose an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports. He also said he will announce reciprocal tariffs this week, matching rates imposed by other countries and applying them immediately.
🔶️ Elsewhere, the amount of gold stored in the London vaults fell 1.7% month on month to 8,535 metric tons worth $771.6 billion in January due to a rush in shipments to the United States, the London Bullion Market Association said.

Gold soars beyond $2,900 as Trump threatens fresh tariffs
Gold prices continued their record rally on Monday and broke through the key $2,900 level for the first time, driven by safe-haven demand as U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariff threats amplified trade war and inflation concerns.
💰 🇨🇳 A Chinese pilot program to allow insurers to buy gold for the first time will allow billions of dollars of extra investment in the precious metal, adding further impetus to a record-setting rally
🔶️ Ten insurance firms — including PICC Property & Casualty Co. and China Life Insurance Co., two of China’s biggest — will be able to invest as much as 1% of their assets in bullion, in a program that became effective last Friday. That would translate into a potential 200 billion yuan ($27.4 billion) of funds, Minsheng Securities Co. said in a note.
🔶️ Gold has been one of the strongest performing commodities of the new year, as well as in 2024, with the metal hitting successive records. That extended uplift has been powered by the US Federal Reserve cutting rates, and central-bank buying, including purchases from China. Donald Trump’s second term as US president has also added an extra driver, with traders scrambling to adjust to his disruptive moves on trade.
🔶️ The policy tweak makes gold the first commodity that Chinese insurers have been explicitly permitted to invest in. China has restricted insurance funds from taking positions in assets without “stable cash returns,” and limits the amount they can put into bonds and stocks.
