Warren demands SEC investigate Trump for insider trading, accuses him of unleashing ‘chaos’ with tariffs

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren defended her calls for the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate President Donald Trump over accusations of market manipulation and insider trading, saying such an investigation is «entirely appropriate.»
«That’s what investigations are for. And it’s entirely appropriate to have an investigation to make sure that Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s family, Donald Trump’s inner circle didn’t get advance information and trade on that information,» Warren told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday during an appearance on «State of the Union.»
Warren, alongside a handful of other Senate Democrats such as Oregon’s Ron Wyden and New York’s Chuck Schumer, wrote a letter to the SEC chief on Friday calling for an investigation into alleged market manipulation following Trump’s reciprocal tariff announcement and subsequent 90-day pause to the customized tariffs he leveled on foreign nations.
«We urge the SEC to investigate whether the tariff announcements, which caused the market crash and subsequent partial recovery, enriched administration insiders and friends at the expense of the American public and whether any insiders, including the President’s family, had prior knowledge of the tariff pause that they abused to make stock trades ahead of the President’s announcement,» the Senate Democrats wrote in their letter to SEC Chair Paul Atkins on Friday.

«It is the responsibility of the President of the United States to reassure the markets and Americans about their economic security in the face of nonstop media fearmongering. Democrats railed against China’s cheating for decades, and now they’re playing partisan games instead of celebrating President Trump’s decisive action yesterday to finally corner China,» White House spokesman Kush Desai said in comment to Fox Digital when asked about Democrats claiming Trump manipulated the market.

When asked on Sunday if Warren had actually seen evidence of alleged insider trading, she responded: «Well, there are people who have looked at what happened to purchases and to calls just before he made that announcement that caused the stock market to skyrocket.»
She continued on Sunday that members of Congress should also be subject to a rule barring them from trading individual stocks.
«This is how the stock market works in order to make sure on a consistent basis that nobody’s trading on inside information. And, by the way, Jake, the same thing should apply to Congress. And that is, we should have a rule that no one in Congress can… trade in any individual stocks, no senator, no representative. I have had that bill for a long time. It’s got a lot of support,» she told Tapper.

Trump, ahead of pausing the reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday of last week, posted to Truth Social, «BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!» and «THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.» The president had previously said he would not pause tariffs but was open to negotiating with other nations.
Trump paused only the higher, customized tariffs he placed on nations that historically installed trade barriers on U.S. goods, with nations across the world instead facing a lower 10% tariff on goods, as the Trump administration and world leaders hash out negotiations for the reciprocal tariffs.
China, however, was not part of the tariff pause and was instead hit with a higher 125% tariff after retaliating with its own additional tariffs against the U.S.
Warren continued in her remarks that tariffs can «be an important tool in the toolbox when used in targeted ways,» but accused Trump of spreading «chaos» through the implementations of his tariff plans.

«Right now, what we have got is chaos and corruption. Donald Trump has imposed a tariff on everyone everywhere, on all products. That’s the 10% tariff. Of course, it was much higher earlier in the week, and now in this trade war with China that basically tries to shut down all trade,» she said.

Trump proven right on Iran’s long-range missile capability as regime targets US-UK base, experts say

Iran fires missiles toward US-UK military base
Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin reports on Iran launching missiles toward a joint U.S.-U.K. military base, while Netanyahu advisor Caroline Glick provides analysis on ‘Fox News Live.’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Islamic Republic of Iran significantly escalated its war effort against the U.S. with its launch of two intermediate-range ballistic missiles on Friday toward Diego Garcia, a key U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean.
The targeting of Diego Garcia, roughly 2,500 miles from Iran, means Tehran’s missile capabilities appear to have exceeded previously acknowledged limits.
In the period leading up to Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed that «We intentionally kept the range of our missiles below 2,000 km so we don’t have that capability. And we don’t want to do that because we do not have hostility against the United States people and all Europeans.»
TRUMP VOWS TO HIT IRAN ‘VERY HARD’ AFTER OBLITERATING NEARLY ’90 PERCENT’ OF REGIME MISSILES

On Saturday, Israel Defense Forces IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said «Just yesterday, Iran launched a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000 kilometers [2,500 miles] toward an American target on the island of Diego Garcia. These missiles were not intended to hit Israel. Their range reaches the capitals of Europe — Berlin, Paris and Rome are all within direct threat range.»
IDF spokesman Nadav Shoshani blasted the alleged Iranian deception on X: «Just 3 days before the war, the Iranian regime said they don’t obtain long-range missiles. Today, their lies were exposed once again, when missiles were fired 4000km away from Iran. They hoped to lie their way into becoming a force that can terrorize the world. We didn’t buy it.»
Jason Brodsky, the policy director of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), told Fox News Digital, «The Trump administration, in citing Iran’s missile threat as a rationale for Operation Epic Fury, was therefore justified in its decision to undertake military action as Iran has consistently refused to negotiate over its missile program. It also shows how dangerous it is to solely rely on Iranian nuclear weapons fatwas and the supreme leader’s public rhetoric in formulating U.S. policy. As long as Iran retains the technical capability beyond public pronouncements, it is a threat.»

(Photo by Hossein Beris /Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images)
According to Brodsky, «I think it’s a message that the IRGC is in charge in Iran after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s death. When Khamenei was alive, he limited the range of Iran’s missile program to 2000 km. Khamenei recounted in 2018 how he had rejected overtures from IRGC commanders seeking to increase the range to as much as 5000 km.»
He continued, «But now that he has died, those voices in the IRGC seeking to increase the range are likely driving the agenda. The launch of the missiles was likely meant as a signal of the IRGC’s capabilities to threaten U.S. allies beyond the Middle East. For example, this threatens Europe.»
The two long-range Iranian missiles did not hit the base, but the attempted attack marked a significant expansion of Iran’s reach beyond the Middle East and toward a major U.S. strategic hub. One missile reportedly failed in flight, while a U.S. warship launched an SM-3 interceptor at the other, officials said. It was not immediately clear whether the interception was successful. The remote base is a critical launch point for U.S. bombers, nuclear submarines and other strategic assets.
Ilan Berman, Vice President of the American Foreign Policy Council in Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital, «The launch hammers home the president’s point about Iran being an imminent threat. It’s easy for casual observers to ignore, but the increasing maturity of Iran’s strategic programs, plural, has been exponentially expanding the threat that the Islamic Republic poses beyond the Middle East. That is what «Epic Fury» is seeking to address. The administration believes, absolutely correctly in my view, that these types of capabilities cannot be left in the hands of a radical, predatory regime.»

He continued that «Despite its public denials, it’s been clear that the Iranian regime has been working on expanding the range of its ballistic missile capabilities for years. The launch toward Diego Garcia confirms that it has made real progress toward that goal, and is already able to put targets in the same range as Central and Eastern Europe at risk. Moreover, it’s clear that the regime is seeking still greater capabilities – and that, if left intact, Iran’s ballistic missiles would attain intercontinental range soon.»
Berman, the author of «Iran’s Deadly Ambition: The Islamic Republic’s Quest for Global Power,» added, «The parallel development Iran has been carrying out on its space program is significant. The booster used to put payloads into orbit can be married onto a medium-range missile to create intercontinental range capabilities. Before the war, we were seeing a clear convergence of the regime’s strategic programs: its ballistic missile work, its space capabilities and its nuclear program.»

He warned about the serious Iranian threat to continental Europe. «Europe is absolutely at risk, as the recent launch makes clear. I wouldn’t say that a failure to recognize this to date has been due to a grand deception by Tehran, though. It is more attributable to willful blindness on the part of European elites about the extent of the threat that the Iranian regime poses, as well as undue faith in diplomacy and arms control in containing it,» he said.
On Saturday, the United Kingdom condemned the attack. «Iran’s reckless attacks, lashing out across the region and holding hostage the Strait of Hormuz, are a threat to British interests and British allies,» the U.K. Ministry of Defense said in a statement. «RAF jets and other U.K. military assets are continuing to defend our people and personnel in the region.»

«This government has given permission to the U.S. to use British bases for specific and limited defensive operations,» it added.

Guatemala prevé la llegada de 80,000 turistas salvadoreños durante Semana Santa

Guatemala se prepara para recibir una cifra histórica de turistas salvadoreños durante la Semana Santa de 2026, según las proyecciones del Instituto Guatemalteco de Turismo (Inguat). La temporada, que se celebrará del domingo 29 de marzo al domingo 5 de abril, será clave para la reactivación del sector turístico en el país centroamericano, gracias a una nutrida afluencia de visitantes provenientes de El Salvador, el principal país emisor de turistas hacia Guatemala.
El Inguat estima que, durante estos días, arribarán a Guatemala cerca de 150,000 turistas internacionales, de los cuales un 53.3 % serán salvadoreños; es decir, alrededor de 80,000 personas. Esta cifra refleja la relevancia de El Salvador como mercado prioritario para la industria turística guatemalteca, consolidando una tendencia que se ha fortalecido en los últimos años. De hecho, los datos de la Corporación Salvadoreña de Turismo (Corsatur) indican que los salvadoreños que viajaron a Guatemala representaron el 60% del total de salidas internacionales registradas en 2025, lo que evidencia la preferencia por el país vecino como destino vacacional.
La campaña “Semana Santa es pausa”, presentada recientemente por el Inguat, busca atraer a los turistas salvadoreños con una propuesta que combina cultura, tradición y paisajes. Según información oficial difundida por la Agencia de Promoción Turística de Centroamérica (CATA Centroamérica), el lanzamiento de la oferta turística se realizó en un encuentro con prensa y creadores de contenido salvadoreños, a quienes se les informó sobre las rutas, actividades y servicios preparados especialmente para la temporada. Las autoridades guatemaltecas han dispuesto un plan de atención que incluye centros de información en lugares estratégicos como Ciudad Cayalá, el Palacio de la Cultura, Antigua Guatemala, Panajachel, Petén, Quetzaltenango y Esquipulas, así como un sistema de asistencia para los visitantes.

Este movimiento turístico se traduce en un importante impacto económico para Guatemala. El Inguat proyecta que la afluencia de turistas internacionales durante la Semana Santa generará $100 millones para la economía nacional, dinamizando especialmente los sectores de alojamiento, gastronomía, transporte y comercio local. La relevancia de los visitantes salvadoreños queda subrayada por las cifras de cierre de 2025, cuando Guatemala recibió más de 1.5 millones de turistas provenientes de El Salvador, equivalentes al 45.7% del total de llegadas internacionales y un crecimiento del 11.4 % respecto a 2024.
La preferencia de los salvadoreños por Guatemala responde a factores como la cercanía geográfica, la conectividad terrestre y la diversidad de atractivos turísticos. CATA Centroamérica, en sus recientes publicaciones, destaca que el interés de los salvadoreños por descubrir nuevos destinos se ve reforzado por la facilidad de los desplazamientos y la variedad de experiencias que ofrece Guatemala durante la Semana Mayor, desde recorridos por sitios históricos hasta actividades en entornos naturales y festividades religiosas.
Por su parte, la Corporación Salvadoreña de Turismo reportó que, en 2025, más de 2.5 millones de salvadoreños realizaron viajes internacionales por motivos turísticos, 113.792 más que el año anterior. De ese total, seis de cada diez eligieron Guatemala como su destino, consolidando así la histórica relación turística entre ambos países. Las autoridades salvadoreñas también reconocen el valor de esta interacción, que favorece el intercambio cultural y fortalece los lazos económicos en la región.

La campaña “Semana Santa es pausa” no solo busca posicionar a Guatemala como un destino seguro y atractivo para los salvadoreños, sino que también promueve la integración centroamericana a través del turismo. CATA Centroamérica resalta en sus comunicaciones que El Salvador se mantiene como el principal mercado emisor de visitantes hacia Guatemala, lo que refleja el creciente interés por redescubrir la oferta turística regional.
Con un despliegue logístico que incluye puntos de información, rutas recomendadas y asistencia personalizada, Guatemala aspira a ofrecer una experiencia memorable a los turistas salvadoreños y a superar sus propias expectativas en términos de recepción y atención al visitante durante la Semana Santa de 2026.

La guerra de Donald Trump contra Irán inquieta a los indecisos de cara a elecciones legislativas en EE.UU.

La guerra de Donald Trump contra Irán está influyendo en los votantes indecisos de Estados Unidos, un segmento clave que puede decidir si el mandatario republicano retiene o no el control del Congreso en las elecciones de medio término en noviembre.
Determinarán si Trump gobierna con un Congreso cooperativo o enfrenta una mayoría demócrata con poderes para bloquear proyectos de ley y lanzar investigaciones.
En un restaurante de Pensilvania, un estado bisagra donde los votantes no se inclinan totalmente por uno o por otro partido, había una mezcla de rabia y confusión por el nuevo conflicto.
«Trump solo nos está hundiendo en otra situación tipo Irak o Vietnam», dijo Jolene Lloyd, de 65 años, jubilada del servicio postal, al referirse a esas dos largas guerras que son vistas a menudo como un fracaso de Estados Unidos.
Lloyd nunca ha votado por Trump. Antes ha dividido su voto entre demócratas y republicanos, pero este año no, en noviembre, ella solo apoyará a los demócratas.
Los republicanos controlan de forma muy apretada el Congreso, donde todos los escaños de la Cámara y alrededor de un tercio del Senado están en juego. Incluso una pequeña pérdida de votos podría traerles problemas.
Con el costo de vida ya en la mente de muchos votantes, cualquier subida de precios por la guerra con Irán aparecerá en los ataques de campaña de los demócratas.
«Los precios de la gasolina obviamente se están yendo a las nubes… es un desastre total», dijo Lloyd mientras veía las noticias matutinas.
De acuerdo con una encuesta de la Universidad de Quinnipiac, los votantes independientes se oponen a la acción militar contra Irán en un 60%, contra un 31% a favor.
Esa división quedó patente cuando la AFP visitó Levittown, una zona obrera en las afueras de Filadelfia llena de concesionarios de autos y talleres mecánicos.
Sentado junto a Lloyd se encuentra el soldador Vince Lucisano, quien votó por Trump en 2024 y dice que ve a Irán como una amenaza para Estados Unidos.
«Estoy bien con esto, siempre que no haya tropas en el terreno. De ser así, me sentiré un poco más preocupado por el tema», dijo.
«Solo necesitamos manejarlo y básicamente poner a Irán en su lugar. Cuando se convierte en una guerra en toda regla, entonces empieza a dar un poco de miedo», añadió el hombre de 42 años.
Lucisano dijo que aún planea votar por los republicanos en noviembre a pesar de las dudas sobre el gasto de Trump en política exterior.
«El tipo que hizo campaña con ‘America First’ está tirando miles de millones al extranjero. Ahí no estamos poniendo a Estados Unidos primero amigo», comentó Lucisano.
La encuesta de la Universidad de Quinnipiac encontró que el 71% de los independientes cree que la administración Trump no ha dado una clara explicación de las razones para la intervención estadounidense en Irán.
Analistas dicen que los mensajes vagos pueden perjudicar a los republicanos de Trump en las elecciones de noviembre.
Christopher Borick, director del Instituto de Opinión Pública de Muhlenberg College en Pensilvania, señaló que el conflicto se suma a las preocupaciones existentes sobre el costo de vida y la inmigración.
«La administración pasa dificultades para presentar un caso convincente y claro a favor de las acciones militares en Irán y los efectos simultáneos en el costo de vida en Estados Unidos solo han agravado la frágil posición de los republicanos entre los independientes», explicó.
Bobby Marozzi, un empleado del restaurante, dijo que admira a Trump por actuar para que Irán no tenga armas nucleares, aún cuando no está seguro de cómo las acciones militares beneficiarán a los estadounidenses en el largo plazo.
«Si es pagando la gasolina cara y el supermercado caro durante los próximos cuatro años, está bien mientras el gobierno de Trump consiga que se haga algo», dijo el hombre de 37 años.
Marozzi explicó que puede sintonizar con una mentalidad al estilo «sin dolor no hay ganancia».
«Tenemos un dicho en el negocio de las comidas: ‘no puedes hacer una omelette sin romper algunos huevos’ ¿sabes?», dijo el empleado que no quiso hablar de su voto en las pasadas elecciones.
Jolene Lloyd, la jubilada que es cliente regular en el restaurante donde trabaja Marozzi, está mucho más lejos del compromiso con la guerra. «Tenemos que parar», asegura.
