The Trump Organization unveiled Trump Mobile cellular service and 'T1' smartphone.
The Trump Organization launched Trump Mobile, a new cell service and phone company.

Trump has long held an affinity for gold things like tweezers, seatbelts and faucets.
The Trump Organization is selling a new golden accessory: a smartphone.
The Trump Organization announced June 16 the launch of Trump Mobile, a new cellular service and cellphone company. The new network will offer 5G service through "The 47 Plan," available for $47.45 per month − a nod to President Donald Trump's first and second terms.
Trump Mobile will also sell what it has dubbed the T1 Phone, what the Trump Organization calls a "sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States."
The phone combines two of Trump's most well-worn business trends: gold things with his name on it. Here are some other golden accessories Trump has flashed:
What we know about Trump Mobile: T1 phone, cell service plan, cost and its Android system
Gold tweezers, gold sneakers and a gold guy in the White House
It is no secret Trump has a tendency to brand items and businesses in his name. In 2004, "Saturday Night Live" made a fake advertisement for "Donald Trump's House of Wings" with singing chicks in eggs dancing around the now-president.
His love for gold appears to go back just as far. Here is a look at some of his golden adornments throughout the years:

Fed Stays the Course as Divisions Creep In
US Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two interest-rate cuts in 2025, though new projections showed a growing divide among policymakers over the trajectory for borrowing costs as the shockwaves from Donald Trump's tariffs make their way through the US economy. Seven officials now foresee no rate cuts this year, compared with four in March, and two others pointed to one cut. At the same time, 10 officials expect it will be appropriate to lower rates at least twice before the end of 2025. Fed officials and economists broadly expect the president's expanded use of tariffs—most of which are the subject of litigation as potentially illegal—to weigh on economic activity and put upward pressure on prices if they remain in place. Add to that a proposed bill in Congress that could add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, and nervousness in the near term is likely to remain.

Hungary discussing business deal with US to counter tariff impact
By Catarina Demony LONDON (Reuters) -Hungary and the United States are discussing a business deal that could involve cooperation in the space industry and military capabilities, a Hungarian official said on Wednesday, aiming to offset the impacts of potential U.S. tariffs. Hungarian foreign ministry state secretary Levente Magyar provided details of the talks on Wednesday, stating that while a swift agreement is not anticipated, they hoped to reach agreement on energy, space and military projects. "We are talking about a few specific projects that could be enveloped into such an agreement," Magyar told Reuters on the sidelines of an event at the Hungarian embassy London. "There's a lot of room for working together." "We very much hope that big things can be done for the benefit of the Hungarian people," Magyar said, without providing a timeline as the U.S. administration currently has "a lot on their hands". Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an ally of Trump, said in April that Hungary expected to sign a business deal with the U.S. in six months. Without providing further detail, Orban said "tariffs will be negative for us but we negotiate about other economic deals to offset those (tariffs)". European Union member Hungary's car industry is a key driver of its economy but faces a potential hit from U.S. tariffs while the country contends with a slower than expected economic recovery and tries to curb inflation ahead of 2026 elections. Magyar acknowledged Hungary would not be able to have a separate trade deal with the U.S. given its obligations as a EU member state but that they still hoped to reach a business deal. Trump backed away from his threat to impose 50% tariffs on imports from the EU this month, restoring a July 9 deadline to allow for talks between Washington and the 27-nation bloc to produce a deal.
