 Can you still visit the countries listed under Trump’s travel ban?

People from a dozen countries will soon be barred from entering the U.S., while those from seven others face expanded travel conditions, after President Donald Trump signed a travel ban on Wednesday.

The ban, which Trump said was brought on by national security concerns, takes effect on Monday, June 9, and is similar to an order issued during his first term. Additional countries may also be added to the list “as threats emerge around the world,” Trump said in a video posted Wednesday.

or now, however, you don’t necessarily need to reconsider any travel plans you have.

Who is impacted by Trump’s travel ban?

Afghanistan

Chad

Republic of the Congo

Equatorial Guinea

Eritrea

Haiti

Iran

Myanmar

Somalia

Sudan

Nationals coming to the U.S. from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela will also face partial restrictions under Trump’s order.

Micro Cap Solars Nearly 80% on Major Clean Tech Acquisition

Desk report: significant acquisition in the micro-cap space has propelled the acquiring company to become one of the most actively traded and top percentage gainers on the Nasdaq today—and with good reason. Investors appear to be responding not just to the immediate impact of the acquisition, but also to the broader implications it may have on the company's future trajectory and position within the clean energy and technology sectors.

Shares of Zeo Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: ZEO) are surging today as the leading provider of residential solar and energy efficiency solutions, and Heliogen, Inc.

Upon completion of the merger, Zeo intends to integrate Heliogen’s technology, brand, intellectual property, capital, and talent to launch a new division focused on long-duration energy generation and storage for commercial and industrial-scale applications, including AI and cloud computing data centers. The transaction aims to create a comprehensive clean energy platform spanning residential, commercial, and utility-scale markets, strengthened by Zeo’s internal financing resources and deep industry expertise.

The transaction, unanimously approved by both boards, is expected to close in Q3 2025, pending customary conditions and Heliogen stockholder approval, with 23% of Heliogen shareholders already committed to vote in favor; Zeo stockholder approval is not required.

 ‘It Is Going to Happen’: JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Warns of Crack in the Bond Market

Desk report: JPMorgan Chase JPM -0.14%  CEO Jamie Dimon warned of a crack in the bond market and said the U.S. should be stockpiling military equipment instead of Bitcoin at an economic forum on Friday.

Dimon, who was interviewed on stage at the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, Calif., prompted some market jitters during Friday’s sideways trading session.

Asked if he thought so-called “bond vigilantes” that sell U.S. Treasuries due to worries about growing deficits have returned, Dimon replied “Yeah.” The bank executive pointed to trillions of dollars in borrowing and spending in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which he described as “huge sums of money, and we don’t really know the full effect of that.”

“You are going to see a crack in the bond market,” Dimon said. “It is going to happen. And I tell this to my regulators, some of you who are in this room, I’m telling you it’s going to happen, and you’re going to panic.” Get more Link: https://www.profitableratecpm.com/fk4wwc0e?key=d48eba2276af6288b01c741241b792bb

“I’m not gonna panic,” he added. “We’ll be fine. We’ll probably make more money, and then some of my friends will tell me ‘We like crises because it’s good for JPMorgan Chase.’ Not really.”

Government debt has been in focus after the U.S. lost its last perfect Aaa rating earlier this month when Moody’s downgraded U.S. sovereign debt to AA+. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note jumped 0.25 percentage point in May, its largest one-month gain since December, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It set a 52-week high north of 5% on May 21.

Dimon also warned of the “enemy within” in the U.S., calling for a unified front and fixes to things like permitting, regulations, immigration, taxation, schools, and healthcare, among other issues. But he argued the most important issue was maintaining military alliances and the strongest military in the world.  Get more Link: https://www.profitableratecpm.com/fk4wwc0e?key=d48eba2276af6288b01c741241b792bb

“If we are not the preeminent military and the preeminent economy in 40 years, we will not be the reserve currency,” Dimon said. “That’s a fact. Just read history.”

He said the U.S. has to “get our act together, and we have to do it very quickly.”

He also weighed in on the Trump administration’s Bitcoin efforts to amass large quantities of the cryptocurrency and the U.S. dollar’s current status as the world’s reserve currency. Get more Link: https://www.profitableratecpm.com/fk4wwc0e?key=d48eba2276af6288b01c741241b792bb

“We shouldn’t be stockpiling Bitcoin,” Dimon said. “We should be stockpiling guns, bullets, tanks, planes, drones, you know, rare earths.”
