DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Amazon Kuiper Kenya Limited, a new subsidiary, has applied for a 15-year licence to build a ground station linking its low-Earth orbit satellites to Kenya's fibre networks. This would boost Amazon Leo's broadband service, promising residential speeds up to 400 Mbps and business speeds to 1,280 Mbps—far exceeding Starlink's current offerings amid Kenya's growing demand.

In 2025 remarks, Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana called out what he saw as massive waste in USAID's $40 billion annual spending, citing funds for a transgender clinic in India, meals to al-Qaeda-linked groups, and aid to Hamas-tied organizations in Gaza. The Trump administration then slashed USAID, cutting staff to under 300 and absorbing operations into the State Department, with many examples like DEI training in Serbia and LGBTQ health in Guatemala holding up under checks. Conservatives celebrated the moves amid $39 trillion U.S. debt concerns, while critics warned of 600,000-760,000 deaths from halted programs; by 2026, Congress restored some aid with stricter rules.
