The Trump Organization is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45954307/donald-trump-wants-you-to-use-his-new-47-mobile-plan-with-a-499-gold-phone-made-in-america">entering the wireless industry</a> with plans to launch a smartphone called the "T-1 Phone," priced at $499 and promoted as being manufactured in the U.S.—a promise experts say may not hold up under scrutiny.
What Happened: Announced on Monday, the T-1 Phone will debut alongside a new wireless service called Trump Mobile, with availability starting in August.
A spokesperson for the company said that the devices will be made in Alabama, California and Florida, <a href="https://www.marketplace.org/story/2025/06/17/trump-mobile-says-itll-make-phones-in-the-us-is-that-realistic">reported</a> Marketplace.

Roger Entner, founder of Recon Analytics, said no major smartphone manufacturer has built devices in the U.S. for at least a decade.

&#8220;We have made smartphones when we were still in the 2G and maybe in the 3G era,&#8221; he told the publication, adding, &#8220;You don&#8217;t have the machines. You don&#8217;t have the employees that can do it. You don&#8217;t have the supply chain.&#8221;
&#8220;I think Trump&#8217;s trying to seize the momentum of &#8216;Build in the U.S.,'&#8221; Dan Ives, tech analyst at Wedbush Securities, told the outlet.
He continued saying, &#8220;This is something that could be done at a very, very small scale, and that&#8217;s probably what they&#8217;re aiming for. But anything above 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 would be very, very difficult for them to actually make in the U.S.&#8221;
Why It's Important: The Trump Organization is attempting to tap into populist sentiments around domestic manufacturing, branding the T-1 Phone as a pro-America alternative in a global tech market dominated by Asian production.
While the pitch aligns with "Made in America" rhetoric, experts caution that scaling U.S. smartphone production would require massive infrastructure investment and time.&nbsp;
"For it to even get off the ground would take a long time and a significant amount of dollars to put in before they show any sort of profit," Ives said.
Previously,&nbsp; Ives told ABC News that making phones in the U.S. isn't financially viable, calling the idea a &#8220;fairytale&#8221; and noting that while a small number could be made, it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45971247/trumps-plan-to-take-on-apple-samsung-with-a-smartphone-is-a-fairytale-dan-ives-warns-it-could-be-a-money-loser-for-his-company">would likely lead to losses</a>.
Trump Mobile runs on the infrastructure of Liberty Mobile Wireless, a Florida-based company founded in 2018 by entrepreneur Matthew Lopatin.
As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), it leases network access from major providers like T-Mobile U.S. Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) and rebrands the service under its own name, reported Reuters.

Defense technology firm Anduril Industries has formed a strategic partnership with German defense giant Rheinmetall to co-develop autonomous air systems and propulsion capabilities for the European market.
What Happened: Anduril Industries and Rheinmetall announced a collaboration to jointly develop three core defense systems for European deployment. 
The partnership focuses on integrating Anduril&#8217;s Barracuda low-cost autonomous air vehicle and Fury high-performance multi-mission aircraft into Rheinmetall&#8217;s digital sovereignty framework called &#8220;Battlesuite.&#8221; The companies will also explore solid rocket motor production for European defense applications using Anduril&#8217;s manufacturing approaches.
&#8220;This is a different model of defense collaboration, one built on shared production, operational relevance, and mutual respect for sovereignty,&#8221; said Brian Schimpf, CEO of Anduril Industries. Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger emphasized the focus on &#8220;autonomous capabilities that are quick to produce, modular, and aligned with NATO&#8217;s evolving requirements.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Last week, Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey confirmed the defense tech firm&#8217;s IPO plans, saying the company must go public to compete for trillion-dollar <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/ipos/25/06/45877601/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-confirms-ipo-plans-to-compete-for-trillion-dollar-defense-contracts-we-are-definitely-going-to-be-a-publicly-traded">contracts like the F-35 program</a>.
The collaboration builds on Anduril&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42464770/whats-going-on-with-archer-aviation-stock-today">recent defense partnerships</a>, including its alliance with Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) for U.S. Department of Defense hybrid aircraft development, with Archer raising $430 million to support the defense program.

Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, may have reportedly earned almost $40 million from his family's cryptocurrency venture.
What Happened: In September 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45646680/trump-familys-expanding-crypto-ties-raise-questions-on-ethics-influence-and-investor-risk">Trump announced the establishment of World Liberty Financial</a>, a crypto-focused company. Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kylemullins/2025/06/17/how-barron-trump-could-have-earned-40-million-from-his-dads-crypto-venture/?utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainTwitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=ForbesMainTwitter">reports</a> that in a promotional interview at the time, Trump said, "Barron knows so much about this&#8230; He talks about his wallet. He's got four wallets or something, and I'm saying, ‘What is a wallet?'" The venture's "gold paper" mentioned Barron as a Web3 ambassador and cofounder, along with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
As per recent financial disclosures, Donald Trump owns 52.5% of the company, while unnamed family members hold another 22.5%.
If divided evenly among Barron and his two brothers, that would give each a 7.5% stake. With at least $550 million in token sales, out of which $520 million reportedly went to the owners, each brother may have received around $39 million before taxes, leaving Barron with an approximate $25 million after-tax fortune.

Why It Matters: This figure surpasses what Trump's older children earned at a similar age by a significant margin. Their previous investments, including stakes in Trump's D.C. hotel and Las Vegas tower, did not yield comparable returns.
Barron, who was nine years old when his father launched his first presidential campaign, has mostly remained out of the spotlight. In 2018, his mother, Melania Trump, allegedly renegotiated her prenuptial agreement to ensure Barron's inheritance and participation in the family's business ventures.
Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/01/43182213/a-mogul-in-the-making-barron-trumps-luxury-property-venture-grows-wings-after-dad-donalds-inauguration">Barron filed incorporation documents</a> to set up his own real estate business, Trump, Fulcher &amp; Roxburgh Capital Inc.
Reports of Barron's earnings come just as Donald Trump Jr. said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45966444/donald-trump-jr-says-his-father-doesnt-touch-the-family-backed-crypto-company-despite-disclosure-of-57-million-income">his father "doesn't touch" the family's crypto earnings</a> when questioned about the recent disclosures.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy announced Tuesday that artificial intelligence will reduce the company&#8217;s corporate workforce due to efficiency gains, prompting immediate criticism from employees across internal communication channels.
What Happened: Jassy told employees that AI will shrink Amazon&#8217;s white-collar workforce over the next few years. According to Business Insider, which <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-employees-criticize-ceo-jassys-ai-driven-job-cutting-plan-2025-6">viewed</a> internal Slack messages across three channels, employees criticized the announcement.
&#8220;There is nothing more motivating on a Tuesday than reading that your job will be replaced by AI in a few years,&#8221; one employee wrote. Others questioned whether senior leadership would face similar reductions, noting Amazon&#8217;s S-team has expanded under Jassy.
Some employees supported the move. &#8220;At least he said the quiet part out loud,&#8221; another worker commented. &#8220;We all knew it but now it&#8217;s clearly part of the plan.&#8221;
 Jassy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45982631/amazon-ceo-says-generative-ai-will-reduce-total-corporate-workforce">highlighted in his Tuesday blog post</a> that Amazon has over 1,000 generative AI services and applications in progress. The company&#8217;s AI-driven Alexa+ serves tens of millions of customers worldwide, while over 50,000 advertisers used AI capabilities in the first quarter alone.
Amazon did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's AI-Led Job Cuts Warning Sparks Backlash As Employee Reportedly Says 'It's Clearly Part Of The Plan'

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's decision to cancel more than $1 billion in research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was unlawful. The move, disproportionately impacting diversity-related studies, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43618745/us-states-sue-national-institutes-of-health-over-4-billion-annual-cut-in-biomedical-research-grant-budget">challenged by states</a>, academic institutions and civil rights organizations.
What Happened: On Monday, U.S. District Judge William Young ruled that the NIH had acted unlawfully, cancelling grants linked to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/judge-deems-trumps-cuts-national-institutes-health-illegal-rcna213360">a</a> NBC report.
The judge said the cancellations were "void and illegal" and issued orders to immediately reinstate relevant grants for the plaintiffs involved in the case.
"You are bearing down on people of color because of their color," Young said during the proceedings. "The Constitution will not permit that." He went on to condemn the cuts as discriminatory toward racial minorities and the LGBTQ community.

Why It Matters: The NIH is the world's largest funder of biomedical research. Since President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/45069781/trumps-first-100-days-what-he-delivered-where-he-fell-short-how-markets-reacted">Donald Trump assumed office</a>, it has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44200499/national-institutes-of-health-terminates-some-research-grants-amid-political-and-policy-shift">terminated around 2,100 grants</a> amounting to $9.5 billion and suspended another $2.6 billion in contracts.
Many of the canceled grants funded research on DEI programs, transgender healthcare, vaccine hesitancy, and COVID-19. The judge's decision will impact hundreds of grants, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the plaintiffs, including 16 states led by Massachusetts and the American Public Health Association.
While the court addressed only a section of the legal challenges, Judge Young hinted that he may issue broader orders as the case continues. The impact of the funding cuts has already led to hiring freezes, layoffs and halted research at universities around the country.
