Putin briefed Trump on the battlefield situation, and Trump said he would continue to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
According to BlockBeats, on July 5th, Russian Presidential Aide Ushakov stated that Putin briefed Trump on the true situation on the battlefield, noting that Russian armed forces are steadily advancing along the entire front, liberating settlements one after another. Ushakov stated that European countries are acting based on a flawed understanding of the overall situation and the actual conditions along the line of contact. He said that Ukraine and its European supporters are betting on prolonging and escalating the conflict, including through terrorist attacks against civilians. Ushakov stated that the liberation of Konstantinovka is a crucial stage in the liberation of the entire Donetsk People's Republic territory, and that regardless of the stubbornness of the Kyiv regime, Russian forces will conquer the remaining Ukrainian fortified areas. Trump reiterated his willingness to assist in ending the conflict as soon as possible and resolving the crisis peacefully. Trump stated that his special envoy Witkov and son-in-law Kushner are ready to travel to Moscow at the appropriate time to continue mediation efforts.
US media: SpaceX discusses donating stock to the "Trump account" with the US government.
According to a report by Semafor on June 30th, BlockBeats reported that the Trump administration has communicated with SpaceX (SPCX.O) regarding donating stock to a children's savings account called the "Trump Account," which is expected to launch next week. The report states that any donation would solidify the ongoing reconciliation process between Elon Musk and Trump, whose relationship had previously broken down last year. Currently, it is unclear whether Musk has agreed to donate any SpaceX stock to the "Trump Account," or what form the donation will take. (Jinshi)
The US Independence Day amnesty targets three groups, potentially becoming a new tool for Trump to win over the public.
According to BlockBeats, on July 3rd, the 250th anniversary of American independence, the White House is discussing a proposal to grant a presidential pardon to 250 people. It is understood that "President Trump will be the final decision-maker for all pardons." This news has sparked heated discussions in the community: if the pardon proposal passes, who should be pardoned? Some analysts point out that the 250th anniversary pardon list should emphasize symbolic and public interest dimensions, highlighting the image of "merciful America" or correcting cases considered "weaponized justice." In the actual decision-making process, lobbying, political loyalty, public attention to high-profile cases, and potential economic, diplomatic, and presidential benefits will all be important considerations. Therefore, white-collar/financial criminals; reformed, non-violent criminals; and criminals involved in high-profile/symbolic cases or "politically/policy-related" cases are the three groups most likely to be pardoned. Based on publicly reported cases, applications, prediction markets, and historical discussions, BlockBeats has compiled the following list of individuals involved in highly controversial federal cases: White-collar/Financial Criminals: Former FTX executive Ryan Salame and FTX founder SBF are undoubtedly worthy of serious consideration by Trump. Since his second election, Trump has consistently portrayed himself as a crypto supporter, and given his continued need for substantial crypto community support during his midterm elections, Ryan Salame and SBF are undoubtedly top contenders for the pardon. Other media reports indicate that Jho Low, a key figure in the 1MDB multi-billion dollar misappropriation case, has reached an asset recovery agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and has therefore been included on the pardon list. Rapper Pras Michel, convicted of lobbying efforts related to the 1MDB scandal, is also under consideration. In addition, businesswoman Elizabeth Holmes, embroiled in the largest tech fraud case in history for founding the blood testing company Theranos, is also a hot topic in the community. Goodly Rehabilitated, Non-violent Offenders: Nicole Daedone was convicted of conspiracy to force labor by a federal court and sentenced to nine years in prison for founding OneTaste. OneTaste reportedly promoted wellness programs such as "orgasm meditation," and was accused of forcing employees (including women) to participate in sexually related labor and "intimate practices" under the guise of "volunteer work," creating a systematic forced labor environment. Nicole Daedone's release was highly anticipated in the market. The reason is that the wellness industry background might be interpreted as a "controversial business model" rather than extreme crime, easily fitting into the "goodly rehabilitated" narrative. Political Prisoners: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was charged with violating the Espionage Act for publishing a large number of classified US documents (including Iraq/Afghanistan war logs and diplomatic cables). In 2024, he reached a plea agreement with the US Department of Justice (on a lesser charge) and was released, returning to Australia. Edward S
Trump flew for the first time on the new Air Force One donated by Qatar, saying the U.S. "couldn't build a plane like that."
Odaily Odaily that on July 1, US President Donald Trump boarded the new Air Force One presidential plane, a gift from the Qatari government, for the first time and praised the aircraft, saying that the US "couldn't build a plane like this." Trump departed for North Dakota that day to attend the opening ceremony of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. In an interview with the media before boarding, he said, "I am very excited about this maiden flight. No one has ever seen an aircraft like this before." (Xinhua)
Trump earned over $2.2 billion in his first year back in the White House, while his net worth shrank by $700 million during his first term.
According to Mars Finance, on July 1st, based on the latest financial disclosure documents, Trump's income has increased significantly since returning to the White House last year, with declared income exceeding $2.2 billion in 2025, of which more than $1.4 billion comes from cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, and related partnerships. Overall, Trump declared assets worth at least $2.4 billion and income exceeding $2.2 billion. Since federal disclosure forms only require asset values to be declared in ranges, with the highest range being "over $50 million," his actual asset size may be higher, and the complete value of his holdings remains difficult to determine. In comparison, in his 2024 financial disclosure documents filed a year ago, Trump declared assets worth over $1.6 billion and income exceeding $600 million. In addition to crypto-related business income, Trump also declared over $620 million in real estate, hotel, and golf-related income. Furthermore, he declared $86.5 million from settlements in five separate lawsuits against ABC, CBS, YouTube, Meta, and social media platform X. This income growth contrasts sharply with Trump's first term. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump's net worth shrank by about $700 million, from about $3 billion before his first term to about $2.3 billion when he left office.
