  • The House of Representatives will vote today on a bill which would make the CFTC, rather than the SEC, the primary regulator of cryptocurrency.
  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Congress he would consider working with Republicans on bipartisan legislation against the International Criminal Court over its application for arrest warrants for Israeli government officials.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged NATO to assist in shooting down Russian missiles, and Washington to permit Kyiv to use US-supplied weapons to strike targets in Russia.

  • Former President Donald Trump’s defence rested in his Manhattan ‘hush money’ trial, ending speculation that Trump could take the stand as a defence witness.
  • The Biden administration intends to release around 1 million barrels of gasoline from reserves to bring down pump prices in the Northeast of the US.
