It is unclear what specific changes Trump made to the text of the agreement. Two officials said Trump was concerned about the parts of the potential agreement that involved unfreezing Iranian funds. He has been a vocal critic of former President Obamas approach in an agreement signed more than a decade ago to curb Irans nuclear program. One official said Trump was also disappointed by Irans slow response to the US proposals, which were reached through repeated consultations involving intermediaries including Pakistan. The official added that Trumps proposed modifications—a more stringent new proposal—may be aimed at accelerating the process by pressuring Iran to accept the framework agreement already submitted to its Supreme Leader Mojtaba for approval.On May 31, a meeting was held in Shanxi Province to deploy a special campaign to address safety risks and hidden dangers in coal mines. The meeting, held on May 30, was attended and addressed by Lu Dongliang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Shanxi Province. The meeting emphasized that the lessons learned must be heeded and the consequences of past mistakes must be absorbed. All levels of government and departments across the province must learn from these cases, be inspired by past mistakes, and remain vigilant regarding safety. They must strengthen their sense of urgency, responsibility, and mission in ensuring safety. The meeting stressed the need to always prioritize the people and their lives, and to thoroughly investigate and address safety risks and hidden dangers in the provinces coal mines with a firm resolve, ensuring the effective implementation of the "eight hard measures" for mine safety. The meeting also emphasized focusing on the coal mines with the most prominent problems and concentrated risks, adopting a "zero-tolerance" attitude to accurately investigate and severely crack down on illegal and irregular activities such as hidden working faces, falsified safety monitoring, unauthorized mining beyond permitted layers or boundaries, illegal subcontracting, and failure to implement major disaster management measures. We must fully cooperate with the State Councils accident investigation to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident, as well as the responsibilities of local management, industry supervision, and enterprises. We must also focus on rectifying prominent problems such as the weak establishment of the concept of safe development, a lack of awareness of the rule of law, failure to implement the responsibilities of "key personnel," insufficient penetration of safety supervision, and lax and lenient law enforcement inspections at the grassroots level.

Britain proposes regulation of all cryptoassets

Under a proposal the UK financial services minister has added to a draft bill that is now before parliament and is virtually surely going to pass, Britain would have the authority to regulate all cryptoassets.


The modification to the financial services and markets law was proposed by Andrew Griffith, who was re-appointed as City Minister by Britain's new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Thursday. The proposal is now being approved by parliament.


The Financial Conduct Authority is only given authority to regulate stablecoins under the law as it was initially written, but the change expands that authority to include marketing for all cryptoassets.


In a parliamentary document dated Thursday, the amendment states that "this new clause amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 to clarify that the powers relating to financial promotion and regulated activities can be relied upon to regulate cryptoassets and activities relating to cryptoassets."

If the administration proposes an amendment, it will very probably become law.


It would bring Britain closer to parity with the markets of the European Union in the cryptoassets legislation that is currently being finalized and is regarded as the first complete set of regulations for the nascent cryptocurrency industry.


Separately on Thursday, Sam Woods, the deputy governor of the Bank of England, said that the institution is advancing with the development of a regulatory framework for systemic stablecoins. This will enable both non-banks and banks governed by the BoE to innovate, and according to Woods, a public consultation document on the new system will be released the following year.
