CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

Solana officials responded to reports of crypto projects jumping ship to Robinhood Chain, stating that most of the "official announcements" from these projects were intended as jokes.

Solana officials responded to BlockBeats today regarding the "project teams jumping to Robinhood" phenomenon, noting that most of the project "announcements" in question were jokes. The incident originated when prediction market platform world recently "announced it would migrate to Robinhood Chain". Verification confirmed the tweet was actually a prank from the project team. Riding on recent market hype, the post garnered massive traffic upon release, sparking widespread community discussion, prompting projects including pump.fun and GMTrade to follow suit. However, none of the aforementioned project teams have any actual migration plans. Projects like GMTrade have even expressed their "loyalty" to Solana in tweet replies: "One day Solana, forever Solana". Notably, despite facing competition from newcomer Robinhood Chain, Solana retains an absolute lead across most metrics: its 24-hour DEX trading volume hit $1.133 billion, while weekly volume reached $13.428 billion, both ranking first globally.

Total stablecoin market cap posted its largest monthly drawdown since the Terra collapse in June, though its long-term growth logic remains unchanged.

The stablecoin market saw its largest correction in years in June, with total market capitalization shrinking by $77 billion that month, marking the biggest single-month decline since the May 2022 Terra-Luna collapse. Since its May peak, the stablecoin market has shed roughly $100 billion in total, with two major stablecoin issuers driving much of the adjustment: Tether’s USDT fell from around $190 billion in May to $184 billion, a $60 billion drop; Circle’s USDC retreated from a near-$80 billion peak in March 2023 to roughly $73 billion, a $70 billion decline. Still, the current correction remains mild compared to the over 26% cumulative drop in the stablecoin market during the 2022 crypto winter. Wall Street institutions remain bullish on stablecoins’ long-term outlook; Citigroup previously projected the global stablecoin market will reach $1.9 trillion by 2030 in its baseline scenario, and could rise to $4 trillion under an optimistic case.

Enterprise-grade public blockchain ENI has officially announced the launch of the ENI Superteam global recruitment initiative, with the first phase targeting Japan, South Korea, and four Southeast Asian countries.

Enterprise-grade public blockchain ENI has officially launched the recruitment program for its global core community organization, "ENI Superteam", with the first batch of recruitment kicking off in Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia. According to reports, these four regions are core strongholds where ENI has already built mature partner ecosystems and node networks under its previous "Super Node Program". ENI Superteam is a local growth network established by ENI based on its global nodes, connecting user growth and ecosystem expansion through localized operations and community collaboration. In the first batch of recruitment regions, any qualified local team can apply to join ENI Superteam after passing professional evaluation and assessment. Selected teams will receive exclusive official certification from ENI, and as core members of the ecosystem, will independently lead and drive local developer incubation, talent referral, and commercial project implementation. The launch of the ENI Superteam program marks a key step in ENI’s globalization journey, connecting the global community through localized organizations while continuously enhancing community members’ sense of participation, belonging, and pride. This highly localized organizational model enables deep synergy between ENI’s top institutional super node matrix and the community’s distributed talent network. It is not only another milestone in the full operation of ENI’s business resonance flywheel, but also a true closed-loop integration of "institutional-level top resources" and "global distributed community implementation" in the public blockchain sector. Currently, global developers, creators, and local teams can learn more about ENI Superteam recruitment details and submit applications via ENI’s official channels.
