President Donald Trump went off on a bizarre tangent in his Friday speech, slamming the Supreme Court's decision to block his power to issue tariffs under emergency powers law — claiming that he visited a factory in Georgia, and the owner was so grateful for Trump's trade policies that the president had to fend off a smooch.

"'President, I'd love to kiss you' — this is a very powerful man. I don't want to be kissed by that man," said Trump. "But a very powerful, strong man ... he said, 'Sir, I want to kiss you so badly.' And I said, 'No thank you.'"

This story was met with both intense mockery and skepticism from commenters on social media.

"This sounds like a fishy story, but Trump says a man addressed him as 'Sir' & those 'Sir Stories' are always 100% true," wrote New Hampshire state Rep. Timothy Horrigan. "Or so I have heard."

"Did he offer Trump a TicTac first?" said writer "Polly Sigh."

"Oh, so now he understands consent?" wrote Campaign for New York Health director Melanie D'Arrigo.

"Is this the second time this week he's reminded us that he likes women not men?" wrote The Bulwark's Sam Stein.

"I don't want to be kissed by THAT man," echoed Aaron Bailey of Reel on Repeat, accompanying it with a meme of a man raising his eyebrows.

"Too bad he didn’t listen when women were telling him no," wrote Hudson Valley area real estate agent Nicole Esther.

UK Eyes £20K Limit in New Stablecoin Framework

UK Eyes £20K Limit in New Stablecoin Framework

The post UK Eyes £20K Limit in New Stablecoin Framework appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Bank of England is preparing to launch a regulatory framework for stablecoins, which could reshape how digital currencies operate in the UK’s financial system. According to Bloomberg, the plan may include temporary limits on asset storage, setting a £20,000 cap for individuals and £10 million for businesses. Sources familiar with the draft indicate that certain exceptions will apply. Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden said that the UK is advancing in step with the US in developing its stablecoin regime. She emphasized that the limits are temporary, intended to ensure market stability as the regulatory environment matures. Why the UK Is More Cautious Breeden highlighted that the credit structures of the US and UK differ sharply. In the US, a significant portion of mortgages are financed through the securities market, whereas in the UK, they are largely funded by commercial banks.This structural difference, she noted, drives British regulators to take a more cautious stance as they balance innovation with financial security. Bloomberg reported that the Bank of England expects to finalize its framework by late 2025.The new rules are also set to require asset reserves and greater issuer transparency, aligning with international best practices. Stablecoin Regulation Around the World Globally, stablecoin regulation has become a top priority for central banks and financial watchdogs: United States The US Treasury and Federal Reserve are exploring a regulatory model focused on bank-like supervision for major issuers such as Circle and Tether. Several bills in Congress — including the Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act — propose strict reserve and audit requirements. European Union The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, taking effect in 2024–2025, will be the world’s first comprehensive crypto regulation. MiCA mandates 1:1 reserve backing for stablecoins and limits their use if they threaten financial stability — a move seen as setting the…
