UMAXX Applauds Trump Mobile Launch, Extends Offer to Collaborate on Secure U.S.-Made Smartphones
Liberty Phones Are Ready Now and Built to Deliver on the Promise of Privacy, Security, and American Manufacturing
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA - June 17, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - UMAXX, a U.S.-based entertainment and communications brand offering privacy-first smartphones, internet, and live TV services, today issued a statement of support following the Trump Organization's announcement of its new mobile phone initiative.
The company praised the move as 'a major step forward for American digital sovereignty,' and extended an open invitation to the Trump team to collaborate using UMAXX's existing line of fully U.S.-assembled, privacy-first smartphones.
'We congratulate the Trump team on recognizing the importance of protecting Americans from the unchecked surveillance of Big Tech and bringing and keeping manufacturing of technology here in the United States,' said Jim Devericks, CEO of SuperCloud International, parent company of the UMAXX brand. 'This is a movement we've been leading for years - and we believe our Liberty Phones are perfectly aligned with the Trump Mobile vision.'
UMAXX launched its Liberty and Liberty Plus smartphones in late 2024, and they are available to consumers today. Built with U.S.-sourced components and assembled domestically, the Liberty Plus is one of the only smartphones in the world that offers true hardware-level privacy protections -featuring physical kill switches to disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, camera, and microphone access. Running on PureOS, an open-source operating system purpose-built to eliminate hidden tracking and spyware, the Liberty line is compatible with all major carriers, including UMAXX's own global service and, most likely, the new Trump Mobile network, via SIM. While others are just beginning to explore privacy-first devices, Liberty Plus is already delivering on that promise.
Additionally, each Liberty Phone also comes preloaded with UMAXX's award-winning live TV service, offering over 350 HD channels as part of an all-in-one, secure mobile, internet, and entertainment experience.
'Building a secure, American-made smartphone is no easy task,' Devericks added. 'We know, because we've done it. The Liberty Phone platform is tested, proven, and shipping now - and we'd be proud to see it support the Trump Mobile mission.'
UMAXX confirmed that it had held early discussions with members of the Trump Organization regarding Liberty Phones in 2024.
'Our door remains open,' said Devericks. 'We'd welcome the opportunity to supply Liberty Phones as part of a broader push to give Americans the digital freedom they deserve.'
Liberty Phones are available now through UMAXXLibertyPhones.com, with plans starting at $99/month for unlimited talk, text, and 22GB of high-speed data on UMAXX's secure, private 5G network.

Trump Reveals New Price Tag for Canada To Join 'Golden Dome' Defense System
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump increased the proposed price for Canada's participation in the U.S. Golden Dome missile defense system. "They want to be in," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday. "Seventy-one billion they're going to pay." The new price tag is $10 billion higher than Trump's earlier public demand for Canadian entry into the program. Newsweek has contacted the White House and Canada's prime ministerial office via email for comment. Canada's defense ministry directed questions to Prime Minister Mark Carney's office. President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on May 20, 2025, in Washington. President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on May 20, 2025, in Washington. AP Photo/Alex Brandon Why It Matters Trump revealed initial plans for the Golden Dome missile defense system earlier this year, touting the design as "state of the art." The president said the Golden Dome would be up and running by the end of his administration, shielding North America from "next-generation" threats like ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles. According to Defense One, a defense official said in March that it would take at least five to seven years to develop the Golden Dome's space-based weapons. Russia, China and North Korea have heavily invested in their militaries, including in long-range weapons. What To Know Trump said Canada had requested to be part of the development of the Golden Dome. Canada and the U.S. already work together under the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to detect incoming threats to North America. Trump said Canada would "have to pay a lot of money" for the Golden Dome, indicating Washington would make a separate deal for the missile defense system with Ottawa in addition to a trade agreement. Trump said access to the Golden Dome would come with a $61 billion price tag for Canada "if they remain a separate, but unequal" country. It would be free if Canada became the 51st state, Trump said. In response to Trump's earlier remarks, Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae likened the terms to a "protection racket" and reaffirmed Canada's sovereignty. Canada has railed against Trump's repeated reference to it becoming part of America. Carney, who won re-election in April on Canadian infuriation about Trump's overtures toward Canada, said last month it was positive to "have protections in place for Canadians" but added: "There will be discussions that could have an impact on Canada, but Canada wouldn't be a part of them." But Canada brings something to the table with nearly 4 million square miles of lines of sight for U.S. sensors to defend against missiles that China and Russia are developing to fly over the North Pole, which is a gap in U.S. air defenses, Politico reported last month. The Golden Dome is loosely modeled on Israel's famed short-range Iron Dome air defense system. The Iron Dome, however, is designed to intercept the kind of attacks common against Israel, unlike long-range missiles able to cross continents. As it stands, the U.S. does not have a joined-up system for intercepting large-scale intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strikes launched from Russia or China, although it would be able to take out the relatively small number of missiles that North Korea could fire at the U.S. The U.S. currently has 44 ground-based interceptors (GBIs) deployed around the country—40 are in silos in Alaska, with four at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California as part of its Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system. Around 2028, the Pentagon will add 20 next generation interceptors, or NGIs, to the 44 GBIs. Whatever is missed by these interceptors would likely fall to the U.S. Navy's Aegis system. Trump has framed the Golden Dome system as the end result of a program kicked off by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, popularly known as "Star Wars." The Golden Dome will use space-based sensors and interceptors to knock out missiles "even if they are launched from space," Trump said. The Golden Dome, using space-based weapons to strike targets closer to the ground, "will be transformational," the Council on Geostrategy, a U.K.-based think tank, said in a paper published last month. It said the missile shield will have "far-reaching strategic consequences." The Congressional Budget Office said in May that the bill for the space-based part of the Golden Dome could come in at $542 billion over the next two decades. The Trump administration said the estimated price tag stands at about $175 billion. An initial $25 billion has been earmarked in next year's budget. What People Are Saying General Chance Saltzman, head of the U.S. Space Force, told lawmakers at a congressional hearing last month: [The space-based weapons envisioned for the Golden Dome] "represent new and emerging requirements for missions that have never before been accomplished by military space organizations." Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, during a press briefing: "This highly offensive system violates the principle of peaceful use of outer space. It will exacerbate the risk of turning outer space into a battlefield and starting an arms race and shake the international security and arms control system." Glen VanHerck, a retired Air Force general and former head of the U.S. Northern Command, told Politico in May: "What Canada really brings is terrain. If we can position, or Canada positions, over-the-horizon radars further north in the Arctic, that dramatically increases the United States and Canada's ability to see over the pole into Russia, into China and other places." What Happens Next The Pentagon and U.S. Northern Command are in the process of drafting an initial capabilities document, according to a U.S. official.
