🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP CUTS OFF COLOMBIA “NO MORE PAYMENTS!” 🇺🇸🇨🇴 📍 West Palm Beach, Florida In a stunning policy move, President Donald Trump has officially ended all U.S. payments and subsidies to Colombia, sharply escalating tensions with Colombian President Gustavo Petro. 💬 Trump’s Statement In a fiery post on social media, Trump accused Petro of “doing nothing to stop drug production” in Colombia, despite years of American financial support. “As of today, these payments or any other form of payment or subsidy will no longer be made to Colombia,” Trump declared, writing the message in all caps. The president labeled prior aid packages as “a long term rip off of America,” signaling a hard break from decades of U.S. Colombia cooperation in counter narcotics and regional security. 🌎 Diplomatic Shockwave The decision marks a major shift in U.S. foreign policy toward one of its closest Latin American partners. Analysts warn the move could: Undermine regional anti narcotics efforts, Strain diplomatic and trade relations, and Push Colombia to seek closer ties with China or Russia. Markets reacted swiftly, with LatAm currencies sliding and U.S. defense and commodity traders bracing for volatility. ⚠️ Market Insight: Attention Signal 💡 MET LONG Entry Zone: 1.04 0.98 Stop Loss: 5% Traders are eyeing defense and commodity linked assets for short term plays amid heightened geopolitical noise. 🧭 The Takeaway Trump’s latest move injects fresh uncertainty into global markets and foreign policy circles alike.

Why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Is Targeting Congressional Stock Trading
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is renewing calls to ban congressional stock trading, citing extreme outperformance by lawmakers that undermines market fairness and public trust.
Key points:
📈 Lawmakers’ returns far exceed benchmarks • Ron Wyden (2024): +123.8% vs S&P 500 +24.9% • Nancy Pelosi: +70.9% in 2024; +854% cumulative since 2012 vs S&P +263%
🧠 Research shows ~47% annual outperformance for congressional leaders after assuming leadership roles, driven by political influence and access to nonpublic information.
⚖️ Bessent frames the issue as credibility, not partisanship: outsized gains by insiders erode trust in Congress.
🗳️ Public support is overwhelming (≈70%+ across parties), yet reform bills remain stalled.
📊 Timing matters: reforms are resurfacing as markets show record bullish positioning (S&P futures net long near historic highs), a pattern often seen late in bull cycles.
Bottom line: The push to end congressional trading reflects mounting concern over information asymmetry and coincides with signs of a maturing market cycle—more a signal of late-stage dynamics than an immediate crash warning.
