Trump’s ‘interesting problem’ with Treasuries

“President Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk’s government efficiency team has found irregularities while examining data at the US Treasury Department, and intimated that may lead the US to disregard some payments.

“There could be a problem, we’ve been reading about that, with Treasuries,” Trump told reporters Sunday on Air Force One en route to the Super Bowl.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether he was talking about US government debt, or payments processed through the Treasury Department.

“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.”

Trump didn’t elaborate on what problems Musk found. Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has sought access to Treasury Department payments data, but Musk’s statements on social media have largely concerned payments to contractors and grant recipients, not bondholders.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request to elaborate. The Treasury Department also didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment….”

China’s Strategy in Trade War: Threaten U.S. Tech Companies​

Preparing for Trump talks, Beijing starts probe of Google and keeps Apple and Broadcom in its sights​


“…
Beijing has already said it is investigating Nvidia and Google over alleged antitrust issues. Other American companies in its sights include Apple, Silicon Valley tech company Broadcom and semiconductor-design software vendor Synopsys, said people familiar with the matter. Synopsys has a $35 billion acquisition awaiting approval by Beijing.

China needs all the leverage it can get to hit back at the U.S., and antitrust is one of the most useful, said Tom Nunlist, a Shanghai-based tech policy specialist at consulting firm Trivium China.

“China is on a chip-gathering exercise,” said Nunlist, likening the countries to poker players. “They want to come to the table to negotiate and need something to play with.”…”

How would a security person know who Markey is?

Markey could come through my front door and I’d have no clue who he is.

Protest. Don’t try to enter buildings.
