While much of the attention is focused on the political fallout and trade disruptions, the broader consequences for digital assets, and the global frameworks that support them, deserve a closer look. Heidi Crebo-Rediker, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, recently described on Bloomberg TV U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans as a “tearing up” of existing free trade agreements with America’s closest allies.
