3244986	无图 <p>Building the Golden Age of Crypto</p><p>Secretary Scott Bessent</p><p>The White House</p><p>July 30, 2025</p>Introduction: The Next Digital Frontier<p>Good afternoon. I’m grateful to be with you today.</p><p>America is a frontier nation. From the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the present day, our people have always pushed boundaries—in exploration, politics, science, and technology. To be American is to be constantly moving, constantly innovating, and constantly living on the edge of what is possible. It’s only fitting, then, that we build the future on the frontier of digital finance.</p><p>One year ago, almost to the day, President Trump promised to make the United States “the crypto capital of the world.” And he has delivered on that promise in every way.</p>Ending the War on Crypto<p>The Golden Age of Crypto the President has ushered in stands in stark contrast to recent history.</p><p>Before President Trump took office, digital assets endured a four-year siege from a hostile White House that took extraordinary measures to drive fintech innovation offshore. The prior administration raised an “anti-crypto army,” waged endless lawfare against legitimate businesses, threatened to eliminate Bitcoin mining, and sought to debank digital asset companies en masse via Operation Choke Point 2.0.</p><p>President Trump saw the regulatory assault unfolding against the industry—and he put an end to it faster than you can say “Gary Gensler.”</p>America’s Hard Fork on Digital Assets<p>November 4, 2024, was America’s Hard Fork on digital assets. Since taking office, President Trump has righted the wrongs of his predecessor by fashioning the United States into a crypto superpower:</p><p>In his first week in office, President Trump formed the Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and signed an executive order to secure America’s lead in blockchain innovation.</p><p>To help spearhead that effort, he tapped David Sacks—a respected founder and payments expert—as the White House AI and Crypto Czar. And he replaced adversarial actors at federal agencies with pro-innovation policymakers, many of whom are in this room today. </p><p>The President has ended regulatory persecution of the industry by closing arbitrary and capricious enforcement actions against major crypto companies.</p><p>And he has laid the groundwork for the next era of dollarization by leading passage of the GENIUS Act, which provides the fast-growing stablecoin market with the regulatory clarity it needs to grow into a multitrillion-dollar industry.</p><p>These are momentous achievements that would have been unthinkable just one year ago. But if you’re tired of winning, hang in there—because we’re not done winning yet.</p><p>The next step in strengthening the crypto ecosystem is shepherding must-pass market structure legislation through the Senate and delivering it to the President. Bipartisan legislation like the House’s CLARITY Act will capitalize on our recent victories by providing clear rules of the road for the entire industry.</p><p>Regulatory certainty is essential to cementing our status as the crypto capital of the world. Just as essential is executing on the recommendations from today’s report on crypto regulation.</p>The Working Group Report: A Blueprint to Becoming a Crypto Superpower<p>This report is the culmination of months of research and over 1,000 meetings between industry stakeholders and members of the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. It is the grading rubric we will use to measure our success in delivering on the President’s promise to anchor the U.S. as the world’s leader in crypto. </p><p>The working group report includes over 100 regulatory and legislative actions on a broad range of issues, including: countering illicit finance; ensuring fairness and predictability in crypto taxation; reinforcing dollar dominance through stablecoins; and modernizing bank regulations for digital assets. Our diligence in following these recommendations will determine whether we remain the premier destination for crypto innovation or whether we cede that privilege to someone else.</p>Bringing Crypto Innovation Home<p>I would like to close with a message to entrepreneurs, disruptors, and innovators all over the world: America’s digital asset frontier is open again.</p><p>Under President Trump, we are exploring new possibilities in decentralized computing and digital payments to unlock the promise of blockchain technology. We are working arm in arm with the brightest minds in finance to build the crypto capital of the world—and we want you to build it with us.</p><p>So start your companies here. Launch your protocols here. And hire your workers here.</p><p>You’ll be glad you did. Thank you.</p><p>###</p> Treasury Secretary Bessent Remarks at the Launch of the White House Digital Assets Report	查看 4778	美国财政部	2025-07-31 00:00:00 2025-08-14 17:49:58	word
3244985	无图 <p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating five entities and one individual based in Iran, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China for their procurement of technology in support of OFAC-designated Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA). HESA is a state-owned subsidiary of Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) that manufactures Iran’s military aircraft and Ababil‑series unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have been employed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Today’s action is being taken in furtherance ofNational Security Presidential Memorandum 2, which directs that Iran be denied asymmetric and conventional weapons capabilities, and that the IRGC and its surrogates be disrupted and degraded.</p><p>“Iran continues to pursue the development of asymmetric weapons capabilities, including unmanned aerial vehicles, to carry out attacks on the United States, our servicemembers and our partners and allies in the region,” saidUnder Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “We will continue to put America first by disrupting Tehran’s ability to further its destabilizing agenda that undermines the stability of the region and threatens the safety of the American people.”</p><p>Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. OnSeptember 17, 2008, Treasury designated HESA pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by MODAFL and for providing support to the IRGC. OnOctober 25, 2007, the U.S. Department of State designated MODAFL and the IRGC pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having engaged, or attempted to engage, in activities or transactions that have materially contributed to, or pose a risk of materially contributing to, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or their means of delivery. </p>TARGETING IRANIAN AIRCRAFT AND UAV TECHNOLOGy procurement<p>Under Javad Alizadeh Hoshyar’s(Alizadeh) direction and management as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Iran-based Control Afzar Tabriz Co Ltd (Control Afzar) procured computer numerical control (CNC) machines and equipment for HESA. CNC machines are used in high‑end aerospace and defense manufacturing to create precise and durable components for commercial and military aircraft. Control Afzar used Hong Kong-based CliftonTrading Limited (Clifton Trading) as an alternative consignee and intermediary for procurements in the interest of HESA, with the intention of obscuring the involvement of Control Afzar. Control Afzar also used Taiwan-based Mecatron Machinery Co Ltd (Mecatron) and Joemars Machinery and Electric Industrial Co Ltd (Joemars Machinery) to ship CNC machines and equipment to Iran and knowingly circumvent sanctions and export controls. Joemars Machinery established China‑based Changzhou Joemars Industrial Automation Co Ltd (Changzhou Joemars) as a subsidiary.</p><p>Control Afzar is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, HESA.</p><p>Alizadeh is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Control Afzar.</p><p>Clifton Trading, Mecatron, and Joemars Machinery are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, Control Afzar.</p><p>Changzhou Joemars is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Joemars Machinery.</p>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS<p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons.</p><p>Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons. OFAC may impose civil penalties for sanctions violations on a strict liability basis. OFAC’sEconomic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelinesprovide more information regarding OFAC’s enforcement of U.S. economic sanctions. In addition, financial institutions and other persons may risk exposure to sanctions for engaging in certain transactions or activities with designated or otherwise blocked persons.</p><p>Furthermore, engaging in certain transactions involving the persons designated today may risk the imposition of secondary sanctions on participating foreign financial institutions. OFAC can prohibit or impose strict conditions on opening or maintaining, in the United States, a correspondent account or a payable-through account of a foreign financial institution that knowingly conducts or facilitates any significant transaction on behalf of a person who is designated pursuant to the relevant authority.</p><p>The power and integrity of OFAC sanctions derive not only from OFAC’s ability to designate and add persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List), but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.

3244983	有图 <p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three high-ranking members and one prominent associate of the Mexico-based Cartel del Noreste (CDN), formerly known as Los Zetas. CDN, one of the most violent drug trafficking organizations in Mexico, is a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) that exerts significant influence over the U.S.-Mexico border, specifically the Laredo, Texas point of entry. CDN’s influence in the Mexican border cities of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas and Piedras Negras, Coahuila, has affected communities on both sides of the border, and the cartel’s role in fentanyl trafficking and human smuggling into the United States puts American lives at risk. The individuals being designated today play key roles in aiding CDN’s horrific crimes, including assassinations, beheadings, drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering.</p><p>“Under President Trump, the Treasury Department will continue to be relentless in its effort to put America First by targeting terrorist drug cartels. These cartels poison Americans with fentanyl and conduct human smuggling operations along our southwest border,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.“Treasury, in close coordination with our law enforcement partners, is committed to a full-frontal assault on the cartels, targeting the leadership and revenue streams that enable their horrific crimes.”</p><p>Today’s action targets key individuals that enable Cartel del Noreste’s campaign of violence and narco-terrorism and was coordinated with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) San Antonio and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).</p><p>The action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets the international proliferation of illicit drugs and their means of production,and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists and their supporters. This is OFAC’s second action targeting CDN’s leadership and affiliates in the last three months. OnMay21, 2025, OFAC designated two high-ranking members and arms traffickers of CDN, Miguel Angel de Anda Ledezma and Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda (Gonzalez).</p>CARTEL DEL NORESTE<p>CDN is a violent terrorist organization primarily based in the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo Leon. For decades, CDN has been involved in the trafficking of narcotics and other illicit drugs, including fentanyl, crystal methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, and cocaine. CDN is also involved in human trafficking, extortion, arms trafficking, and kidnapping for ransom.</p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0219-1.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"><p>CDN is known for operating on both sides of the U.S. border. In June 2025, the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 72 undocumented immigrants and seized cash, narcotics, and firearms at a CDN-run nightclub during an operation in South Carolina. This unlicensed establishment was involved in drug, weapons, and human trafficking operations.</p><p>In addition, CDN utilizes commercial passenger buses to smuggle drugs into the United States. The organization is involved in large-scale human smuggling operations into the United States, often kidnapping and exploiting migrants for the purpose of extortion or forced labor. CDN utilizes drug distribution hubs throughout the state of Texas and has associates, facilitators, and affiliates throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and the Midwest.</p><p>CDN, previously known as Los Zetas, was identified by the United States as a specially designated foreign narcotics trafficker on April15, 2009 pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act). OnJuly 24, 2011, LosZetas was named as a transnational criminal organization (TCO) in the annex to E.O.13581. OnDecember 15, 2021, OFAC designated CDN pursuant to E.O.14059. OnFebruary 20, 2025, the U.S. Department of State designated CDN as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). </p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0219-2.png" rel="noopener noreferrer">SANCTIONING ADDITIONAL HIGH-RANKING CDN MEMBERS<img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0219-3.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"><p>Abdon Federico Rodriguez Garcia(Rodriguez) is the second-in-command of CDN.Rodriguez, also known as “Cucho,” is involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, fuel theft, and extortion on behalf of the organization.

3244982	无图 <p>WASHINGTON —Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating 18 entities and individuals that play pivotal roles in the Iranian regime’s efforts to generate revenue and circumvent U.S. sanctions. Facing severe financial constraints due to international isolation, Iran has engineered sophisticated banking schemes and alternate payment messaging systems specifically designed to bypass sanctions and protect its ability to collect export revenues, particularly from illicit petroleum sales. These systems also enable the regime’s continued funding of its proxies and oppression of the Iranian people. Additionally, financial and information technology firms designated today have provided the regime with advancedsurveillance technologies that Iran’s security services deploy to restrict internet access and to target women who violate the regime’s mandatory hijab restrictions.</p><p>“As a result of President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign and increasing isolation from the global financial system, the Iranian regime is running out of places to hide,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Treasury will continue to disrupt Iran’s schemes aimed at evading our sanctions, block its access to revenue, and starve its weapons programs of capital in order to protect the American people.”</p><p>Today’s action is being taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902, which targets those operating in certain sectors of the Iranian economy, including Iran’s financial sector. It is also being taken in furtherance ofNational Security Presidential Memorandum 2, directing a campaign of maximum economic pressure on Iran. Treasury is committed to using all available tools to combat Iran’s attempts to circumvent sanctions and repatriate illicit foreign revenue, as evidenced by our recent actions sanctioningIslamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) andZarringhalam family “shadow banking” networks, as well as the sprawlingShamkhani shipping network that has generated billions of dollars in revenue that is then laundered through such networks.</p>IRANian FINANCIAL MESSAGING SYSTEM<p>Treasury is designating the RUNC Exchange System Company, also known as RUNC International Banking Solutions (RUNC), for its role in developing Iran’s Cross-Border Interbank Messaging System (CIMS), a recently developed bank messaging system designed to allow Iran and its allies to circumvent controls in place on more commonly used payment systems.In late 2023, the Central Bank of Iran authorized the use of the RUNC-developed CIMS outside of Iran to insulate the regime’s foreign financial transactions from sanctions and to facilitate Iranian banking relations with foreign partners. CIMS has been used to connect to the U.S.-sanctioned Bank of Kunlun in order to circumvent sanctions and further banking cooperation between Iran and China. Foreign financial institutions considering the use of CIMS to clear transactions must understand that doing so places them at heightened risk of economic sanctions for transacting with sanctioned Iranian banks. RUNC Exchange System Company is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for operating in the financial sector of the Iranian economy.</p><p>OFAC is also designating RUNC’s leadership: Ali Morteza Birang is the primary board member and managing director of RUNC; Mohammad Shafipour is the vice chairman of the board of directors of RUNC; and Seyyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi is the chairman of the board of directors of RUNC. Ali Morteza Birang, Mohammad Shafipour, and Seyyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, RUNC Exchange System Company.</p>A SHADOWY OFFSHORE BANK<p>The Iranian regime has also turned to decentralized “offshore” banking in an attempt to establish a financial conduit that outwardly appears separate from Iran’s U.S.-sanctioned, centralized banks.In 2021, the Iranian Supreme Council for National Security (SCNS) authorized the issuance of a special license by the Central Bank of Iran to establish Cyrus Offshore Bank(Cyrus Bank)in Iran’s Kish Free Zone area on Kish Island, just off Iran’s southern coast in the Persian Gulf. The SCNS authorized the establishment of Cyrus Bank as a mechanism for the Iranian government to avoid sanctions while making purchases abroad, with Cyrus Bank secretly owned and staffed by the sanctioned Iranian financial institution Parsian Bank.</p><p>Cyrus Bank’s specially issued license exempts it from Iran’s normal banking regulations, thereby masking its ties to the Central Bank of Iran from public view. In 2021, Parsian Bank coordinated with IRGC officials to route proceeds from Iranian oil sales to the IRGC via Cyrus Bank. In 2022, SCNS officials and the Central Bank of Iran began using Cyrus Bank to transact with the Bank of Kunlun, in which a significant portion of Iran’s oil revenue was deposited. Cyrus Bank is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for operating in the financial sector of the Iranian economy.</p><p>Cyrus Bank is headed by Parsian Bank board member Hadi Nouri, who serves as CEO and managing director. Cyrus Bank’s day-to-day activities are managed by Parsian Bank official Alireza Fatahinojokambari, who also serves as vice chairman on Cyrus Bank’s board of directors. Adel Berjisian, another Parsian Bank official, serves on Cyrus Bank’s board of directors and is an authorized signatory on Cyrus Bank matters. Hadi Nouri, Alireza Fatahinojokambari, and Adel Berjisian are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Cyrus Bank.</p>INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ENABLING BANKING AND SURVEILLANCE<p>Today’s action also targets Iranian software holding company Pasargad Arian Information and Communication Technology Company(FANAP), which is owned or controlled by Pasargad bank, a major financial institution designated by OFAC for operating in the Iranian financial sector. FANAP entered the financial sector as a company specialized in designing and developing indigenous financial technologies for Iranian banks. FANAP and its subsidiaries provide services such as the secure transportation of cash and high-value assets, the production and maintenance of ATMs, and the design of banking and payment hardware for Iran’s banking sector. FANAP is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Pasargad Bank.</p><p>Since its inception, FANAP and its subsidiaries have diversified their information technology activities with the backing of the Iranian government to develop surveillance technologies for the Iranian police state. FANAP and its director, Shahab Javanmardi, have strong links to the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), and other FANAP executives serve as members of the IRGC. The United States has sanctioned both MOIS and the IRGC for committing serious human rights abuses against the Iranian people and supporting terrorist groups.</p><p>FANAP’s subsidiaries have partnered with Iran’s Information and Communications Technology Ministry in the development of the National Information Network (NIN), a countrywide intranet that is being used to block the Iranian people from accessing the global, uncensored internet.The Iranian government also commissioned FANAP-owned companies to design Soroush, an indigenous messaging application developed to enable the Iranian government to block Telegram in the country due to its heavy use by protestors across Iran. FANAP also owns facial recognition software called Behnama, which is operated by the Law Enforcement Forces of Iran and Iran’s Morality Police, entities responsible for enforcing women’s compliance with the mandatory hijab laws.Shahab Javanmardi is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, FANAP.</p><p>FANAP’s many subsidiaries—consisting of Qeshm Arian Datis Software Company(Dotin), Arvand Arian Pasargad Communications and Information Technology Payment Company(FANAP Tech), Rashid Samaneh Electronic Processing Company(Parsa), Sherkat-e Barid Fanavar Arian(Baran Telecom), Arian Pasargad Communications and Information Technology Infrastructure Company(FANAP Infrastructure), Arian Pasargad Communications and Information Technology Ecosystem Development Company(FANAP Plus), Arman Kish Data Communications and Information Technology Company(Sherkat-e Fanavari Etelaat ve Ertebatat Dadeh Arman Kish),and Pasargad Electronic Payment Services Company—are also being designated pursuant to E.O. 13902 for being owned or controlled by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, FANAP.</p>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS<p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.

3244981	无图 <p>WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on entities linked to armed group violence and the sale of critical minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Eastern DRC has experienced thousands of civilian deaths and a mass displacement crisis due to ongoing instability, which has been exacerbated recently by the Rwanda-backed March 23 Movement’s (M23) territorial control and reprisal attacks from DRC-aligned militias. M23, a U.S.- and United Nations-designated armed group, has rapidly expanded its territorial control in eastern DRC and is responsible for human rights abuses.</p><p>Today’s sanctions specifically target one of these armed groups involved in illegal mining operations and taxation schemes in Rubaya, an expansive mining area rich in critical minerals used in modern electronics. Additionally, today’s action targets companies in the DRC and China that are engaged in trading conflict-linked minerals from the DRC on international markets, often through Rwanda.</p><p>“The conflict minerals trade is exacting a deadly toll on Congolese civilians, fueling corruption, and preventing law-abiding businesses from investing in the DRC,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “The Treasury Department will not hesitate to take action against groups that deny the United States and our allies access to the critical minerals vital for our national defense.”</p><p>The United States is focused on securing a resolution to the conflict in eastern DRC, as evidenced by its success in facilitating the DRC-Rwanda peace agreement, signed on June 27, 2025. The United States continues to support the efforts of the DRC and Rwanda to adopt a regional economic integration framework that expands trade and investment, enhances transparency in critical minerals supply chains, and paves the way for responsible and legal investment in the region.</p>MINERALS SUPPLY CHAINS FUELING CONFLICT<p>On July 8, 2024, the U.S. Department of State highlighted concerns with the illicit trade and exploitation of certain minerals that contribute to ongoing instability in eastern DRC. The United States remains concerned about the conflict and humanitarian crisis in eastern DRC, as well as the role that the illicit trade of minerals continues to play in financing the conflict. In many cases, minerals sourced from eastern DRC are smuggled through Rwanda before being transported to major refining and processing countries, such as China.Minerals sourced from conflict-affected areas directly or indirectly benefit armed groups, who raise funds by selling minerals and imposing illegal “taxation” schemes, often in collusion with corrupt local officials. In addition, the mines controlled by armed groups are linked to a wide range of human rights abuses, such as forced labor, child labor, and sexual and gender-based violence.</p>PARECO-FF: An ArmeD Group at the Center of the Conflict-Minerals Ecosystem<p>Coalition des Patriotes Résistants Congolais-Force de Frappe (PARECO-FF) is a successor movement to PARECO, an armed group with a long history of destabilizing activities in eastern DRC. PARECO-FF emerged in 2022 as a response to the resurgence of the Rwanda-backed and OFAC-sanctioned M23 armed group. From 2022 to early 2024, PARECO-FF controlled mining sites in Rubaya, a vast mining area containing critical minerals.</p><p>During this period, PARECO-FF generated revenue by overseeing mining operations, collecting illegal fees and taxes from miners, and engaging in minerals smuggling.PARECO-FF also imposed forced labor and executed civilians in mining areas under its control. Since its emergence in 2022, PARECO-FF has advanced its interests by forming opportunistic relationships and competing with other armed groups, including M23, thereby contributing to the armed group politics that drive instability in eastern DRC.</p><p>PARECO-FF is being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13413, as amended, for being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of the DRC.</p>Mining and Export Companies: Connecting Conflict Minerals to Markets<p>PARECO-FF’s mining operations, illegal taxation schemes, and smuggling activities in Rubaya were aided by the Cooperative des Artisanaux Miniers du Congo (CDMC), a Congolese mining company that operated on the largest mining concession in Rubaya and sold minerals that were sourced and smuggled from PARECO-FF areas of control. CDMC in turn sold minerals to Hong Kong-based export companies East Rise Corporation Limited (East Rise) and Star Dragon Corporation Limited (Star Dragon). The trade of conflict minerals drives insecurity and instability in the DRC by providing a source of funding to armed groups and depriving the DRC government of revenue.</p><p>CDMC is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13413, as amended, for being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, actions or policies that threaten the peace, security, or stability of the DRC; for being responsible for or complicit in, or having engaged in, directly or indirectly, support to persons, including armed groups, involved in activities that threaten the peace, security, or stability of the DRC or that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the DRC, through the illicit trade in natural resources of the DRC; and for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, PARECO-FF.</p><p>East Rise and Star Dragon are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13413, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, CDMC.</p>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS<p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. In addition, any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, individually or in the aggregate, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or exempt, OFAC’s regulations generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons.</p><p>Violations of U.S. sanctions may result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties on U.S. and foreign persons.

3244980	有图 <p>Scams Targeting U.S. Victims Produce Significant Revenue for CJNG</p><p>WASHINGTON—Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned four Mexican individuals and 13 Mexican companies linked to timeshare fraud led by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). These individuals and companies are based in or near Puerto Vallarta, a popular tourist destination that also serves as a strategic stronghold for CJNG. A brutally violent cartel, CJNG is a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) that is increasingly supplementing its drug trafficking proceeds with alternative revenue streams such as timeshare fraud and fuel theft.</p><p>“We are coming for terrorist drug cartels like Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion that are flooding our country with fentanyl,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “These cartels continue to create new ways to generate revenue to fuel their terrorist operations. At President Trump’s direction, we will continue our effort to completely eradicate the cartels’ ability to generate revenue, including their efforts to prey on elderly Americans through timeshare fraud.”</p><p>Treasury has taken a series of actions targeting the diverse revenue streams benefitting the cartels, including fuel theft, human smuggling, extortion, and fraud. As Treasury and its partners seek to disrupt the cartels’ revenue streams, it is important to remind current owners of timeshares in Mexico: If an unsolicited purchase or rental offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Those considering the purchase of a timeshare in Mexico should conduct appropriate due diligence.</p><p>Today’s action was taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14059, which targets the proliferation of illicit drugs and their means of production, and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, which targets terrorists and their supporters.Today’s action was also taken in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Government of Mexico’s financial intelligence unit, the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (UIF).</p>CJNG: VIOLENCE IN PURSUIT OF PROFIT<p>CJNG is considered one of the most powerful cartels in the world. It has conducted intimidating acts of violence, including attacks on the Mexican military and police with military-grade weaponry, the use of drones to drop explosives on Mexican law enforcement, and assassinations and attempted assassinations of Mexican officials. CJNG has also executed its own recruits who defy orders.All of this is perpetrated in furtherance of CJNG’s relentless pursuit of illicit proceeds. In addition to drug trafficking, the group’s core source of revenue, CJNG is also generating alternative revenue streams through fuel theft, extortion, and timeshare fraud, among other activities.</p><p>OnApril 8, 2015, OFAC designated CJNG pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) for playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking. OnDecember 15, 2021, OFAC also designated CJNG pursuant to E.O.14059. OnFebruary20, 2025, the U.S. Department of State designated CJNG as an FTO and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT).</p>PARADISE LOST: TIMESHARE FRAUD IN MEXICO<img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img1.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer">Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico<p>Mexico-based cartels have been targeting U.S. owners of timeshares through call centers in Mexico staffed by telemarketers fluent in English. Beginning in about 2012, CJNG took control of timeshare fraud schemes in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, and the surrounding area. These complex scams often target older Americans who can lose their life savings. The lifecycle of these scams can last years, resulting in financial and emotional devastation of the victims while enriching cartels like CJNG. </p><p>The cartels generally obtain information about U.S. owners of timeshares in Mexico from complicit insiders at timeshare resorts. After obtaining information on timeshare owners, the cartels, through their call centers, contact victims by phone or email and claim to be U.S.-based third-party timeshare brokers, attorneys, or sales representatives in the timeshare, travel, real estate, or financial services industries. The fraud may include timeshare exit scams (a.k.a. timeshare resale scams), timeshare re-rent scams, and timeshare investment scams.The common theme is that victims are asked to pay advance “fees” and “taxes” before receiving money supposedly owed to them. This money never comes, and the victims are continuously told to pay additional “fees” and “taxes” to finalize the transactions. Victims are typically told to send these “fees” and “taxes” via international wire transfers to accounts held at Mexican banks and brokerage houses.After these initial scams, re-victimization scams can occur. The scammers may impersonate law firms, claiming that they can initiate proceedings on behalf of the victims to recover lost funds for an upfront fee. In other instances, scammers impersonate government officials, including OFAC, claiming that victims have engaged in suspicious transactions and demanding “fines” to release their funds or face the risk of imprisonment.</p><p>On July 16, 2024, Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), OFAC, and the FBI issued a joint Notice on timeshare fraud associated with Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), including in Spanish, to provide financial institutions with an overview of these schemes, associated financial typologies, and red flag indicators.In the six-month period following this Notice, FinCEN received over 250 Suspicious Activity Reports, and filers reported approximately 1,300 transactions totaling $23.1million, sent primarily from U.S.-based individuals to counterparties in Mexico. Based on FinCEN’s analysis, U.S. fraud victims sent an average of $28,912 and a median amount of $10,000 per transaction to the suspected scammers potentially working for Mexico-based TCOs.</p><p>According to the FBI, approximately 6,000 U.S. victims reported losing nearly $300 million between 2019 and 2023 to timeshare fraud schemes in Mexico. In 2024 alone, FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received nearly 900 complaints concerning timeshare fraud schemes in Mexico with reported losses of over $50 million. However, these figures likely underestimate total losses, as the FBI believes the vast majority of victims do not report the scam due to embarrassment, among other reasons. On its website, the FBI has included a timeshare fraud resource page, and FBI’s New York Field Office has posted a public service announcement video featuring a victim of timeshare fraud.Victims of timeshare fraud are encouraged to file a complaint with the FBI’s IC3 by visitinghttps://www.ic3.gov. For elder victims, financial institutions may also refer their customers to the Department of Justice’s National Elder Fraud Hotline at 833-FRAUD-11 (or 833-372-8311).</p>TARGETING TIMESHARE FRAUD<img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img2.png" rel="noopener noreferrer">Montero<p>Today’s action marks the fifth time OFAC has sanctioned those linked, directly or indirectly, to CJNG’s timeshare fraud activities, resulting in the designation of over 70 individuals and entities to date. The previous actions occurred on March2, 2023, April27, 2023, November30, 2023, and July16, 2024.</p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img3.png" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rivera<p>The three senior CJNG members most involved in timeshare fraud are Julio Cesar Montero Pinzon (Montero), Carlos Andres Rivera Varela (Rivera), and Francisco Javier Gudino Haro (Gudino). These three individuals have also been part of a CJNG enforcement group based in Puerto Vallarta that orchestrates assassinations of rivals and politicians using high-powered weaponry.</p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img4.png" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gudino<p>On June 2, 2022, OFAC designated Montero pursuant to E.O. 14059.Today, Montero is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for being directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, CJNG.</p><p>On April 6, 2021, OFAC designated Rivera and Gudino pursuant to the Kingpin Act. Today, Rivera and Gudino are being sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059 and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for being directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, CJNG. </p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img5.png" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ibarra<p>The other individual sanctioned today is Puerto Vallarta native Michael Ibarra Diaz Jr. (Ibarra). An ostensibly legitimate businessman involved in the tourism industry, Ibarra is engaged in timeshare fraud on behalf of CJNG. For over 20years, Ibarra has been involved in the sale and management of timeshares in the Puerto Vallarta area, including just north in the state of Nayarit. Ibarra was trained as an accountant, which is consistent with CJNG’s use of professionals to conduct this complicated and highly lucrative scheme. Ibarra is being sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059 and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for being directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, CJNG.</p><p><img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img6.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer">Also sanctioned today is Ibarra’s corporate network, which is composed of 13 companies. Five of the companies—Akali Realtors, Centro Mediador De La Costa, S.A. de C.V., Corporativo Integral De La Costa, S.A. de C.V., Corporativo Costa Norte, S.A. de C.V., and Sunmex Travel, S. de R.L. De C.V.—explicitly acknowledge their involvement in the timeshare industry. Another company involved in timeshare-related transactions—TTR Go, S.A. de C.V.—claims only to be a travel agency. <img src="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/sb0222-img7.png" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Three additional companies are purportedly engaged in real estate activities: Inmobiliaria Integral Del Puerto, S.A. de C.V., KVY Bucerias, S.A. de C.V., and Servicios Inmobiliarios Ibadi, S.A. de C.V. This diverse corporate network also includes tour operators (Fishing Are Us, S. De R.L. de C.V.; Santamaria Cruise, S. de R.L. de C.V.), an automotive service company (Laminado Profesional Automotriz Elte, S.A. de C.V.), and an accounting firm (Consultorias Profesionales Almida, S.A. de C.V.). These 13 companies are being sanctioned pursuant to E.O. 14059 and pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for being owned, controlled, or directed by, or having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, Ibarra.</p>SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS<p>As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.

We want President Donald Trump to succeed on Friday in Anchorage,” Merz said, referring to the upcoming summit in Alaska"s largest city.</p><p>“Fundamental European and Ukrainian security interests must be safeguarded in Alaska. That was the message we as Europeans conveyed to US President Trump today, and I can say we were in strong agreement both in our assessment of the current situation and in the achievable goal for next Friday,” Merz said.</p><p>The conservative leader said European leaders have already outlined their expectations from the meeting last weekend, and their top diplomats have discussed these points in detail with the US side over the past few days.</p><p>“The American president knows that when the United States works toward peace in Ukraine that protects European and Ukrainian interests, then he can rely on our full support and count on it,” Merz said, and outlined five major points representing their expectations for the upcoming US-Russia talks.</p><p>“We have made it clear that Ukraine must be at the table as soon as there are follow-up meetings. We want negotiations to be conducted in the correct order. A ceasefire must be the starting point. Key elements should then be agreed upon in a framework agreement,” the chancellor said.</p><p>“Thirdly, Ukraine is willing to negotiate on territorial issues, but the so-called line of contact must be the starting point. And legal recognition of Russian occupation in Ukraine is not up for debate. The principle that borders may not be changed by force must continue to apply,” Merz stressed.</p><p>“Fourthly, negotiations must include robust security guarantees for Kyiv. The Ukrainian armed forces must be able to defend their country"s sovereignty effectively, and they must also be able to count on Western aid in the long term. Fifth, negotiations must be part of a common transatlantic strategy; only then will they ultimately be most likely to succeed.”</p><p>The German chancellor also underlined Russia"s failure to show willingness toward a diplomatic solution during the Alaska summit should result in consequences for Moscow.</p><p>“If there is no movement on the Russian side in Alaska, then the US and we Europeans should and must increase the pressure,” Merz said, referring to additional Western sanctions against Moscow.</p><p>“President Trump is aware of this position and has largely endorsed it. And that"s why I can say we had a truly exceptionally constructive and positive conversation,” he added.</p><p>Merz hosted Zelenskyy for bilateral talks on the latest developments.

3244967	有图 <p>Contrary to popular belief, you won"t need a machine learning degree or other highly technical skills to succeed in the near future, according to Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman.</p><p>As more artificial intelligence-powered tools get integrated into the workplace, employers will prioritize hiring workers with "soft skills" like creativity and adaptability, Garman told CNBC"s "Closing Bell" on Friday. His advice to his own child, a rising high school senior, he said: Develop your critical thinking skills in college, no matter what subject you study.</p><p>"I think part of going to college is building [your] critical thinking," Garman said. "It"s less about the development of skills and it really is [about] how do you become a critical thinker? In some ways, I think that"s actually going to be the most important skill going forward."</p><p>Critical thinking skills will be most people"s No. 1 biggest key to success in the age of AI, he added.</p><p>"You"re going to want to be creative. You"re going to want to be [good at] critical thinking. And you"re going to want to be flexible," said Garman. "I think the ability to learn new things and adapt is going to be just as important as any particular skill that you learn."</p><p>Help us help you:Take our survey on work, money and life goals</p><p>The list of skills and administrative tasks that AI tools can replicate continues to grow, seemingly each day. Amazon, Garman"s employer, is among the multiple companies that have announced plans to reduce their corporate workforces while adopting more AI tools and agents in the coming years.</p><p>But AI is no match for human intellect when it comes to using critical thinking and creativity to generate new ideas and make nuanced judgments, research shows. It could be "the most valuable skill of the future" for human workers, particularly those tasked with curating and refining the output of AI tools, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said during an event hosted by Howard University in January 2024.</p><p>"AI can generate lots of great ideas, but you still need a human there to say, "This is the thing other people want,"" said Altman.</p><p>Students can hone and apply their critical thinking skills across pretty much any area of study. Current workers can improve them through daily habits ranging from playing strategic board games to asking more questions, research shows. Multiple online courses say they"ll help you improve your critical thinking and communication skills, including one offered for free through Harvard University and edX.</p><p>Once you"ve developed those skills, you can showcase them to your current or prospective employers by highlighting examples of difficult problems you"ve solved at work — or asking thoughtful, purposeful questions that reflect your curiosity and communication skills, LinkedIn career expert Andrew McCaskill told Make It in January 2022.</p>Other important soft skills: Adaptability and communication<p>Garman highlighted two other important soft skills for both today and the future: the ability to smoothly adapt to new technologies, including AI-based tools and agents, and communicate effectively with colleagues and customers.</p><p>Communication is another skill where humans have a leg up over AI — particularly in terms of our ability to pick up on social cues, exhibiting empathy and emotional intelligence, actively listen, and provide insightful feedback, research shows.</p><p>"[Those skills] are important today. I think they"ll be just as important, if not more important [in the future]," Garman said.</p><p>As employers make plans to integrate more and more AI tools in the workplace, recruiters are specifically targeting prospective employees with the "adaptability" to keep up with technological changes, according to a LinkedIn blog post published in February 2024.</p><p>AI tools can handle various administrative tasks, but most customers "still want to talk to a person" and get personal insights and attention from a human being, added Garman.</p><p>"Those people skills are going to continue to be super important for a long time," he said.</p><p>Want to stand out, grow your network, and get more job opportunities?Sign up for Smarter by CNBC Make It"s new online course,How to Build a Standout Personal Brand: Online, In Person, and At Work.

Today, she has over 260,000 followers across her various social media platforms where she posts career and personal finance content.</p><p>Her social media side hustle alone brought in about $245,000 last year, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. This income came from different sources such as sponsorships and user-generated content.</p><p>There is one popular financial concept that has helped her redefine how she thinks about hard work — compounding. Similar to how investments can grow over time through compound interest, being consistent in your actions can also lead to an outsized return in life, Zhang told CNBC Make It.</p><p>Having the discipline to work on her content every day on top of having a full-time job was key to her success in building a following and turning her side hustle into a six-figure business, she said.</p><p>"Consistent actions compound over time," said Zhang. That means doing something even if you don"t want to because the constant repetition is more important than how you feel about it, she explained.</p>The Silicon Valley hustle<p>Zhang grew up in Silicon Valley as the only child to two immigrant parents.</p><p>"Living in [Silicon Valley] gives you a really warped perception of wealth," said Zhang. "People think it"s a very ... wealthy zip code, but my family didn"t really necessarily fit that bill."</p><p>As a kid, Zhang noticed that while many of her friends" parents owned multiple properties and nice cars, her family could only afford to live in apartments.</p><p>"Money was definitely something that my parents held a scarcity mindset about. They didn"t really talk about it with me directly, but I would hear them argue about it, and I just remember it being a negative thing ... and that we could run out of it one day. That was the main fear," said Zhang.</p><p>"That really impacted me growing up, and so I knew that ... after graduation, I didn"t want to live in that kind of financial anxiety anymore, and I wanted to ... give back to my parents," she added.</p><p><p></p><p>Lillian Zhang went to UC Berkeley for college.</p><p>Courtesy of Lillian Zhang</p></p><p>Motivated by this, Zhang earned her entrepreneurial chops early on. Along with balancing school and extracurricular activities, in middle school, she started her first business where she made plushies using her mom"s sewing machine and sold them for a profit at school and online.</p><p>At age 12, she began posting videos of her plushies onto YouTube to market and sell them online. She also ran other e-commerce businesses where she would buy stuff off of AliExpress and resell them on YouTube. She estimates that she made about $15,000 from all of her business operations as a kid.</p><p>"I"ve always been very entrepreneurial ... it was second nature to me," she said.</p>Staying organized<p>Today, Zhang has carried this work ethic into adulthood.</p><p>In the past year, she has balanced a full-time job, running her social media pages and writing her first book "The New Money Rules: The Gen Z Guide to Personal Finance," which is set to publish in November.</p><p>When asked about work-life balance, she said: "I don"t really think it exists, to be honest."</p><p>To manage everything, she suggests batching tasks to save time. For example, instead of cooking every day, she likes to meal-prep multiple meals at one time.

3244964	无图 <shared-article-body><p>South Dallas, and particularly the historic Bonton neighborhood, has faced decades of systemic challenges related to education, income, health, and access to opportunity. The median family income in Bonton is $24,539, with over 32 percent of residents living in poverty<sup>1</sup>. Rates of chronic diseases are among the highest in Dallas County, and residents face the shortest life expectancy in the area<sup>2</sup>.</p><p>These persistent challenges underscore the urgent need for meaningful investment and collaborative partnerships to improve the quality of life for local families. That’s why Capital One – with deep roots in Dallas – is committed to investing in the people and organizations working to build lasting opportunities in Bonton and across South Dallas.</p><p>Our commitment to South Dallas includes expanding access to jobs, supporting education, driving community revitalization, increasing affordable housing, promoting small business, as well as championing financial well-being. Through both philanthropy and financing tools like the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, we’re helping local organizations transform lives and neighborhoods.</p><p>Cultivating Growth in South Dallas with Bonton Farms</p><p>Bonton Farms began as a small garden and has blossomed into a beacon of resilience. Today, it encompasses two farms, a farmer’s market, a café, and a coffee house – all located in the heart of South Dallas. Bonton Farms focuses on meeting seven essential human needs: transportation, education, financial tools, community, health, economic stability, and housing.</p><p>Capital One’s partnership with Bonton Farms dates back several years, through grants, volunteering, and engagement from Capital One associates. Recently, associates connected with the organization about its next need – a Bonton Wellness Center. That conversation led to Bonton Farms using NMTCs to help support the center’s development. Capital One is proud not only to have helped make this vision a reality, but also to have guided the organization toward more financing opportunities which turned their plans into action.</p></shared-article-body><shared-article-body><p>When you first arrive at Bonton Farms, you immediately want to get involved. It’s been amazing to witness firsthand how much our relationship with the organization has grown over the past few years.

The school’s reach extends far beyond the classroom, offering food pantries, arts programs, athletics, and more to residents in a community marked by high poverty and unemployment.</p><p>Capital One’s relationship with St. Philip’s is rooted in shared values and sustained engagement, resulting in unique educational moments. Capital One even donated beehives from its North Dallas campus to support the school’s environmental and science programming. Plus, the honey from the beehives is distributed through the St. Philip’s community food pantry.</p><p>With support from Capital One and the NMTC program, St. Philip’s is embarking on a transformative expansion. The $16 million NMTC transaction will add instructional spaces for the arts, a digital design lab, culinary and dance studios, and expanded food pantry services. The fine arts pavilion will also serve as a space for the broader community, hosting events, classes, and activities for students and non-students alike.</p></shared-article-body><shared-article-body><p><img srcset="https://ecm.capitalone.com/WCM/stories/our-commitments/south-dallas-x-nmtc-moody-center/thumbnail.png></p></shared-article-body><shared-article-body><p>The center will also lease space for a medical clinic operated by Baylor Scott & White Health, creating a new hub for health and wellness in the neighborhood.

And at a unique price. As a result, AI becomes accessible to everyone – not just tech nerds or enthusiasts. Deutsche Telekom is making AI for all.</p><p>The AI-phone assists at many different tasks in customers’ daily lives. What shall I cook today? I’ve got some ingredients left, but no recipe. My child wants to hear a bedtime story. I’m not inspired today. Where is my favorite band playing their next concert? Why are my plants drooping again? And how can I remain fit, while barely having any time to exercise?</p><p>This is where Deutsche Telekom"s AI-phone comes into play. With the Perplexity Assistant, an integrated AI companion is on board. One press of the magenta button and it answers questions of all kinds. This makes it a practical helper for everyday life. Here are some examples:</p>Personal secretary: makes calendar entries, writes emails to contacts and summarizes extensive contentLanguage genius: helps with translations of e.g. restaurant menus, documents or in conversationsExclusive travel agency: plans itineraries, acts as a city guide, makes restaurant reservations via OpenTable, orders an UberNutritionist and trainer: gives cooking tips, lists ingredients, provides training and nutrition plansShopping expert: recommends stylish additions to outfit or household, finds the best deals and gifts for loved onesEntertainer: finds the best concerts, books and movies that match user’s personal tasteTutor: solves math problems, explains complicated topics in an easy-to-understand way<p>The multitalented AI assistant provides information on requests, content on the screen and objects in front of the camera. And all of this at users’ fingertips: just double click the power key or press the magenta button near the bottom center of the lockscreen, and the assistant is at your service. Questions can be addressed both via voice and in writing. In addition to internet research, the assistant performs various tasks (e.g. calendar entries, emails, calls, messages, navigation, videos) via interfaces to pre-installed applications.</p><p>“Together with trusted partners, we’re bringing the AI-phone to people across Europe. It takes care of everyday tasks and quickly finds reliable information, saving you time and energy. So you can focus on what truly matters – where your ideas, creativity, and personal touch make the real difference” comments Dominique Leroy, Board Member for Europe at Deutsche Telekom.</p><p>In Germany the price of the AI-phone is 149€. The AI-tablet will be available for 199€. If the devices are purchased together with a tariff, they cost only one euro each. The price also includes an 18-months subscription to Perplexity Pro – in addition to the Perplexity Assistant. The latter remains on the devices permanently. Another plus when buying the AI-phone: a 3-months Picsart Pro license with additional 500 credits per month.</p><p>The AI-phone and the AI-tablet are launched not only in Germany, but also in Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland and Slovakia. Prices vary across markets. The devices are available in all those markets starting today, August 14th 2025.</p>Devices carry many other advantages on board, in addition to AI<p>The AI-phone and AI-tablet come as the new models in the T Phone series: T Phone 3 and</p><p>T Tablet 2. The phone is a powerful allrounder at an unbeatable price. With its large size and eye-friendly screen technology powered by TCL NXTPAPER, three built-in screen modes (Ink paper, Color paper, and Regular mode), the AI-tablet is designed for productive and creative moments such as reading, studying, working, or drawing. A matching T-Pen stylus is available separately for 29,95€. The “Pro” version of the AI-phone will follow later this year.</p><p>The devices impress with fast performance thanks to upgraded chipset and shorter charging times. In addition, the AI-phone includes modern AI tools integrated into the camera. Through the partnership with Picsart, AI avatars can be created and image backgrounds can be easily edited. For example, if an object is disturbing in the background. Or when a selfie is transformed to look like it was taken in Paris. Another plus point are the sustainability features of the devices. The T Phone 3 has received the #GreenMagenta label and an excellent score of 90/100 in the Eco Rating of smartphones. The T Tablet 2 is a good example of the circular economy: 75% of its back consists of post-consumer recycled plastic.</p>Smart extras with Magenta AI<p>With Magenta AI, Deutsche Telekom offers free access to selected AI tools to all customers who do not want to buy a new smartphone. The "Magenta AI" button in MeinMagenta-App brings users to Perplexity"s answer engine, with the next feature coming soon – AI background editor for images, powered by Picsart. Further partnerships will be made available to customers gradually.</p><p>"Artificial intelligence is the big technology of our time. It changes a lot. But there is still some reluctance. We believe AI offers significant opportunities. To use those, people need to take part and try out AI tools.
