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.On May 31, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on May 30, local time, stating that in response to the Ecuadorian governments earlier announcement that it would stop imposing a "safety tax" on Colombian goods, Colombia would lift its trade retaliatory measures against Ecuador and promote the normalization of bilateral economic and trade relations.May 31 - A Bloomberg survey of economists median forecast indicates that the U.S. unemployment rate will remain unchanged at 4.3% in May, while nonfarm payrolls will increase by 89,000.

Manufacturing employment may also be boosted as consumers stockpile goods in anticipation of potential price increases following a potential conflict with Iran.

LUNA Revival,Terra Founder Do Kwon Fails to Stimulate UST

Terraform Labs CEO and Terra blockchain pioneer Do Kwon broke his silence on Wednesday, after a night of volatility in the UST and LUNA markets.


Markets had been expecting him to present an alleged "recovery plan" as promised in a tweet on Tuesday for over 20 hours.


Kwon speaks to the Terra residents.


"I realize the past 72 hours have been tremendously difficult for all of you," he added in a fresh Twitter thread on Wednesday, before promising the Terra community that "I am committed to work with every one of you to weather this crisis, and we will build our way out of this." Together.”


"Before $UST can start to repeg, the only road ahead will be to absorb the stablecoin supply that wants to go," he stated.


As a consequence, he said that Terraform Labs (TFL) "endorses the community proposal 1164," which would enable the Terra blockchain to absorb the UST supply more swiftly.


"Obviously, this comes at a great cost to UST and LUNA holders," he continued, "but we will continue to investigate alternative strategies to bring in additional external money to the ecosystem and minimize UST supply overhang."


Other community recommendations, he added, will be examined as well.


Kwon went on to say that once UST is rebuilt, the collateralization method would be tweaked, and he ended his post by trying to calm down the Terra community.


"With hundreds of dedicated teams producing category-defining apps inside the Terra ecosystem, it is one of the most vibrant in the crypto business," he added. "We will emerge out of this together as long as these builders, including TFL, keep building."

The UST and LUNA Markets Were Unimpressed.

The price of Terra's flagship algorithmic stablecoin UST has not recovered as a result of Kwon's "recovery plan." As the start of the US trading day approaches, it continues to trade at low levels in the $0.30 range.


Meanwhile, the influx of UST supply, which is then turned into LUNA supply thanks to Terra's mint-burn process, continues to weigh hard on the token. It just dropped below $2.0 for the first time since February 2021.


LUNA/USD has lost almost 97 percent of its value since the beginning of the week, when it was trading at $65 per token, and is down over 98 percent from its all-time high near $120 at the beginning of the month.


The selling pressure on LUNA is unlikely to diminish as long as there remains a backlog of UST to be converted into LUNA (where it will almost certainly be sold soon after conversion).


With UST trading so much below its peg, many UST holders will have no choice but to use Terra's mint-burn mechanism to convert their UST into the same USD amount of LUNA and then sell it immediately.
