Donald Trump's statements just days before his return to the White House have reignited tensions on the international stage. During a press conference, the elected president mentioned the possibility of annexing the Panama Canal and Greenland, strategic territories whose geopolitical significance far exceeds American borders. Far from being content with a mere statement of intent, he refused to rule out the use of force, provoking immediate reactions from the countries involved. As the world faces increasing geopolitical tensions, these stances raise many questions. Is Trump seeking to reshape international power dynamics, or is this a communication strategy aimed at influencing future diplomatic negotiations? What are the implications for relations between the United States and its partners? A look back at an announcement that certainly reignites fears of a return to an unpredictable American policy.

In a global economic context marked by successive upheavals, few sectors manage to maintain enduring stability. Long perceived as an unsinkable fortress, luxury, the quintessential symbol of prosperity and exclusivity, also faltered in 2024. Indeed, the fortunes of emblematic figures such as Bernard Arnault, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, and François Pinault suffered colossal losses amounting to over 70 billion dollars combined. Such a decline finds its origins in a set of closely related factors: a slowing Chinese economy, national political tensions, and increased volatility in stock markets. These combined elements have shaken the pillars of the sector, revealing an unexpected fragility.
The world of crypto could experience a historic change with Donald Trump's return to the White House. Indeed, the elected president, already known for his divisive stances, has placed crypto at the heart of his economic priorities. He aims to propel the United States to the status of a global leader in this rapidly expanding sector. Among his promises are the creation of a strategic reserve of bitcoins and the establishment of policies favorable to crypto businesses. These initiatives, which demonstrate a desire for a break from the previous administration, evoke a mix of hope and skepticism within the industry. While his supporters praise a bold vision for the future of crypto, observers remind us of the many obstacles that will arise in the realization of these projects, whether political, economic, or regulatory. Donald Trump's next term could thus mark a decisive turning point in the evolution of cryptocurrencies in the United States and on the international stage.

The American economy has crystallized tensions for several months between two deeply divergent political visions, embodied by Joe Biden and Donald Trump. On one side, the current president emphasizes stabilizing management, based on international cooperation and support for the middle class.

Thus, these oppositions go beyond national economic choices, but reflect orientations that could reshape global trade balances.
In a world facing increasing geopolitical tensions and sustained volatility in financial markets, the ultra-rich are reassessing their investment priorities. A recent study by UBS, titled "UBS Billionaire Ambitions," reveals that these billionaires are adopting defensive strategies to safeguard their wealth against constantly evolving risks.

These trends, far from being trivial, reflect a desire for diversification and protection against global uncertainties.

Such a challenge to the monetary status quo could well reshape the global geopolitical balance, but also lead to significant economic turbulence.
