The European Union may delay approval of a U.S. trade deal due to concerns over U.S. trade policy under Donald Trump. Bernd Lange plans to pause ratification of the EU–US “Turnberry Agreement” until the bloc receives clear legal assurances regarding U.S. trade practices. This decision follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling blocking Trump’s emergency tariffs and new plans for global tariffs of up to 15%, which have created uncertainty for EU trade. The proposed deal, negotiated with Ursula von der Leyen, would impose 15% tariffs on most EU exports while easing U.S. imports, but maintain steep U.S. duties on EU metals. EU lawmakers are seeking legal clarity before proceeding, citing concerns that current U.S. policy risks “customs chaos” and could undermine the agreement.

Bitcoin faces a $1 trillion identity crisis. Bitcoin has dropped over 40% from its peak, but the bigger issue isn’t price — it’s purpose. Once driven by strong narratives, Bitcoin now faces competition on all fronts: gold as a hedge, stablecoins for payments, and prediction markets for speculation. Even with growing support from Wall Street and policymakers, demand is weakening. Analysts say Bitcoin’s core story — rising prices — has broken down, and unlike stocks or commodities, it lacks clear fundamentals to fall back on. At the same time, its “digital gold” claim is under pressure as precious metals rally and Bitcoin ETFs see outflows. New crypto use cases, like tokenization and stablecoins, are also shifting attention away. Despite this, Bitcoin remains the most established crypto asset and has survived past crises. The key question now: can it redefine its role, or will it slowly lose relevance?
