Argentina makes headlines after reportedly striking a sweetheart deal with the Trump Administration: zero tariffs on up to 80% of its exports to the U.S., though steel and aluminum are notably left out of the tariff exemption. But don’t expect a ribbon-cutting ceremony just yet—President Trump is holding the announcement until he can position Argentina as the “gold star” trading partner, especially while slapping hefty tariffs on other nations. President Trump has been particularly punishing in his approach to Brazil, threatening a 50% tax on Brazil for their leading role in BRICS’ de-dollarization efforts and Trump’s perception of a political witchhunt being carried out against ally and former Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro.
Meanwhile, crypto markets are heating up: Bitcoin soared past $118,000 this week, dragging altcoins like Ethereum and XRP along for the ride, with some analysts forecasting XRP to hit $4–$6 soon. All of this comes against a backdrop of global currency jitters and rising concerns about de-dollarization—a perfect storm where politics, policy, and price charts collide.
