Trump can't give up the fight against foreign meddling in US tech
President Donald Trump last month got Canada to kill a blatantly unfair tax on US-based companies, but the fight against foreign meddling in America's tech industry has a long way to go. Canada's Digital Services Tax was set to slap companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Uber and Airbnb with a 3% levy on revenue from Canadian users — until Trump canceled trade talks over what he rightly slammed as an 'egregious' move. Prime Minister Mark Carney promptly nixed the fee hours before it would've kicked in. Good: The tax was a shameless cash grab at the expense of American companies — and it was retroactive, demanding US-based tech firms fork over a whopping $2 billion. Note that the Biden administration also opposed the tax, and even whined that it might violate the USMCA trade agreement — but did nothing to actually stop it. Making Carney back down is fresh proof that Trump's big-stick trade tactics can work — and work to protect cutting-edge knowledge-based industries, not just brick-and-mortar manufacturing. It also shows that, despite all the ink spilled over Elon Musk's tiff with Trump, the tech industry still has plenty of reason to stay friendly with the administration. Especially since, as the prez pointed out on TruthSocial, Canada was just seeking to copy the European Union, which shamelessly uses its Digital Markets and Digital Services Acts to fill its coffers and bend US tech to its will. Six of seven tech companies the European Commission has highlighted as 'gatekeepers' to be reined in are American: Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and The EU has already hit Apple and Meta this year with massive fines for allegedly breaking the Digital Markets Act's antitrust rules.

It's beyond unacceptable for Brussels to determine what Americans can say on American–owned sites. The EU's legal harassment of US-based tech firms is so egregious that Trump aide Peter Navarro slammed it as 'lawfare' in April. These 'fines' are basically tariffs by another name — milking successful American companies by creating strict regulations that target them especially. Canada clearly meant to get its own slice of that pie, only for Trump to slap down Ottowa's grasping hand. Making the Europeans back off should be high on the president's agenda as he starts his next tariff offensive. Don't let America's trade partners reap the benefits of our thriving, innovative tech industry while spitting on the free-speech and free-market ideals that make it possible.

Trump news at a glance: Republicans pass bill that will cut federal safety net and boost immigration enforcement
The US House of Representatives passed Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill on Thursday, handing the president the first major legislative victory of his second term, with the bill expected to supercharge immigration enforcement and slash federal safety net programs. For decades, Republicans have argued that the US would be better off if taxes were low, and programs to help low-income Americans were harder to access. Thursday's bill will in effect make this a reality, fundamentally reordering two major social safety net programs, slashing funding and imposing new work requirements. Nonpartisan estimates say it will cost millions of people their benefits and the ripple effects, experts say, will be felt across the country, and not just by the poor. Meanwhile big tax cuts that were set to expire this year will be made permanent, with these provisions expected to generally benefit high earners more than most. Here's the latest: The 218-214 vote came after weeks of wrangling over the measure that Trump demanded be ready for his signature by Friday, the Independence Day holiday. Written by his Republican allies in Congress and unanimously rejected by Democrats, the bill traveled an uncertain road to passage that saw multiple all-night votes in the House and Senate and negotiations that lasted until the final hours before passage. Ultimately, Republicans who had objected to its cost and contents folded, and the bill passed with just two GOP defections: Thomas Massie, a rightwing Kentucky lawmaker, and Brian Fitzpatrick, who represents a Pennsylvania district that voted for Kamala Harris in last year's election. Read the full story Despite the many cuts to the social safety net, the bill is still hugely expensive. The CBO forecasts it will add $3.3tn to the deficit through 2034, mostly due to the tax cuts. For fiscal hawks concerned about the sustainability of the country's budget deficit, which has yawned higher in recent years as Washington DC battled the Covid-19 pandemic with massive fiscal stimulus, there's little beauty in Trump's bill. Read the full story The supreme court on Thursday cleared the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties. The decision comes after the court's conservative majority found that immigration officials can quickly deport people to third countries. The majority halted an order that had allowed immigrants to challenge any removals to countries outside their homeland where they could be in danger. Read the full story The US supreme court announced on Thursday that it will consider a bid by West Virginia and Idaho to enforce their state laws banning transgender athletes from female sports teams at public sector schools. The decision means the court is prepared to take up another civil rights challenge to Republican-backed restrictions on transgender people. Read the full story Barack Obama, the former US president, sounded the alarm about Joe Biden's ailing re-election bid almost a year before polling day, warning his former vice-president's staff 'your campaign is a mess', a new book reveals. Read the full story A former CBS News anchor and 60 minutes correspondent, Dan Rather, has blasted the $16m settlement between Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, and Donald Trump, calling it a 'sad day for journalism'. 'It's a sad day for 60 Minutes and CBS News,' Rather, a veteran journalist who was a CBS News anchor for over 20 years, told Variety in an interview published on Wednesday. 'I hope people will read the details of this and understand what it was. It was distortion by the president and a kneeling down and saying, 'yes, sir,' by billionaire corporate owners.' Read the full story A generation of scientific talent is at the brink of being lost to overseas competitors by the Trump administration's dismantling of the National Science Foundation (NSF), with unprecedented political interference at the agency jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth, according to a Guardian investigation. Read the full story The US economy added 147,000 jobs in June, a sign of continuing strength in the labor market amid Donald Trump's trade war. The EU and US are closing in on a high-level 'framework' trade deal that would avert 50% tariffs on all exports from the bloc next Wednesday, Trump's self-imposed deadline. ever on Thursday after he spoke for more than eight hours to delay a vote on Donald Trump's signature tax-and-spending bill.

Insiders Of Carnival Corporation & Retain US$2.8m Of Investment Selling At Higher Prices
While Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE:CCL) shareholders have had a good week with the stock up 14%, they shouldn't let their guards down. In spite of the relatively cheap prices, insiders made the decision to sell US$2.8m worth of stock in the last 12 months. This could be a warning indicator of vulnerabilities in the future. Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the CFO & Chief Accounting Officer, David Bernstein, for US$2.4m worth of shares, at about US$22.84 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$29.96. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. We note that the biggest single sale was only 43% of David Bernstein's holding. Carnival Corporation & insiders didn't buy any shares over the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! View our latest analysis for Carnival Corporation & If you like to buy stocks that insiders are buying, rather than selling, then you might just love this free list of companies. (Hint: Most of them are flying under the radar). The last three months saw significant insider selling at Carnival Corporation &. Specifically, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer David Bernstein ditched US$2.4m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. This may suggest that some insiders think that the shares are not cheap. For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It's great to see that Carnival Corporation & insiders own 6.4% of the company, worth about US$2.6b. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders. An insider hasn't bought Carnival Corporation & stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. And there weren't any purchases to give us comfort, over the last year. But it is good to see that Carnival Corporation & is growing earnings. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn't make us feel confident about the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Carnival Corporation & (of which 1 makes us a bit uncomfortable!) you should know about. Of course Carnival Corporation & may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.
