Foreign from the Financial Times.
Today is Friday, March 7th, and this is your FT news briefing.
Donald Trump's latest crypto project is turning out to be quite lucrative and it has been an intense week in the markets.
The confidence and the certainty has just gone.
Investors can't be sure that if Donald Trump says,
this is what I'm going to do, that it's going to actually happen.
Plus, EU leaders held an emergency summit in support of Ukraine yesterday.
I'm Mark Filippino and here's the news.
You need to start your day.
Donald Trump's Meme Coin is making him a lot of money.
Trump launched the token before he returned to the White House in January,
and the FT has found that it's made him at least $350 million since then.
But making that much money off crypto comes with some scrutiny when you're president.
Investors and ethics experts say the sale of crypto would basically let Trump channel anonymous donations.
The White House and the Meme Coins website did not respond to requests for another week.
Another wild ride in markets.
US stocks are down after Donald Trump's tariffs sent investors in a tailspin and Germany set the global bond market on fire.
Luckily, I have the FT's markets columnist Katie Martin with me to help make sense of it all.
Hi, Katie.
