Senate GOP warns Chinese vapes could be used by CCP to spy on Americans, launder cartel cash

A group of Senate Republicans warned the Trump administration that floods of ‘illicit Chinese e-cigarettes’ entering the country carried a darker side effect.

Several Senate Republicans alerted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in a letter first obtained by Fox News Digital that the Chinese government was reaping massive profits from the devices.

And given that connection between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China’s State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (CSTMA), it’s possible that so-called smart vapes could be used as spying devices.

The lawmakers charged that the ‘highly sophisticated’ vapes had the ability to connect to a person’s cellphone and have become extremely commonplace.

‘These devices have the capacity to initiate data breaches or malware infections and can also access and collect sensitive user data,’ they wrote. ‘Given the interconnected relationship between Chinese industry and state intelligence services, the targeting of U.S. military personnel with these devices raises profound national security concerns.’

President Donald Trump made the crackdown against Chinese vapes one of the many side quests that his administration pursued last year, going so far as to try and crush the supply of the devices at ports across the country.

Last year, for example, the Trump-led Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the capture of roughly $90 million worth of vape products from China in one fell swoop.

The lawmakers, which included Sens. Steve Daines, R-Mont., Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., Katie Britt, R-Ala., Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and nine others, lauded Trump’s ‘aggressive, multi-agency enforcement actions’ against the influx of vapes, but noted that the ‘magnitude and consequence requires a comprehensive strategy and response.’

It’s not just a spying threat either.

The Republicans contended that the funding generated by the sale of vapes could be funneled toward military or technological initiatives in China meant to undermine American interests.

They also noted that the vapes have been linked by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to Mexican cartels, specifically using the devices and operations as a money laundering front. That trade-based money laundering scheme, the lawmakers said, was part of a plan to move fentanyl proceeds on behalf of the cartels.

‘Given the scale and severity of this threat, we urge the Treasury Department and USTR to use their respective enforcement and diplomatic authorities to combat illegal Chinese e-cigarettes,’ they wrote.

Credit Suisse investigation reveals 890 Nazi regime accounts, Sen Grassley says

Investigations by Credit Suisse have uncovered hundreds of Nazi-linked accounts at the bank, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced Tuesday.

Multiple reports provided to Grassley have identified 890 accounts linked to the Nazi regime, including wartime accounts for the German Foreign Office, a German arms manufacturing company and the German Red Cross, Grassley told reporters Monday.

The new accounts are coming to light after UBS acquired Credit Suisse in a 2023 takeover. The bank then hired U.S. prosecutor Neil Barofsky to identify any Nazi-linked accounts.

Grassley and representatives of UBS will dig deeper into the findings during a Senate Judiciary hearing on connections between various Swiss banks and the Nazis later Tuesday morning.

‘We approach today’s topic with solemn respect,’ Robert Karofsky, president of UBS Americas, is expected to say at the hearing, according to a copy of his remarks obtained by NBC News.

‘Now, with three years of experience, our priority is to complete this review so that the world can benefit from the findings in the coming final report,’ the remarks continue.

Grassley’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Tuesday’s hearing comes a week after International Holocaust Remembrance Day, during which President Donald Trump’s administration reflected on the genocide committed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

‘Today, we pay respect to the blessed memories of the millions of Jewish people, who were murdered at the hands of the Nazi Regime and its collaborators during the Holocaust— as well as the Slavs and the Roma, people with disabilities, religious leaders, persons targeted based on their sexual orientation, and political prisoners who were also targeted for systematic slaughter,’ Trump said in a statement.

‘On January 27, 1945, 81 years ago today, Allied forces liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi Regime’s largest concentration and death camp in World War II, where over one million people were marched to their senseless deaths,’ the presidential message, released by the White House, noted.

Trump noted that since returning to the presidency last year he has sought to use the federal government to battle antisemitism.

‘After I took office as the 47th President of the United States, I proudly made it this administration’s priority directing the Federal Government to use all appropriate legal tools to combat the scourge of antisemitism. My Administration will remain a steadfast and unequivocal champion for Jewish Americans and the God-given right of every American to practice their faith freely, openly, and without fear,’ he asserted.

Scouting America ‘on the clock’ to roll back DEI, War Dept says

The Department of War is moving to overhaul its partnership with Scouting America, saying the organization must return to ‘core values’ and eliminate DEI policies to remain eligible for federal support.

The review focused on the department’s financial relationship with Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America, including its involvement in the organization’s National Jamboree, Sean Parnell, assistant to the Secretary of War for public affairs, said in a statement posted on social media.

Parnell described Scouting America as ‘a great organization’ that has ‘lost its way’ in recent years.

‘But, for more than a decade now, Scouting America’s leadership has made decisions that run counter to the values of this administration and this Department of War, including an embrace of DEl and other social justice, gender-fluid ideological stances. This is unacceptable,’ he wrote.

Parnell referenced an executive order that President Donald Trump signed at the start of his second term that focused on ‘terminating radical DEl preferencing in federal contracting,’ adding that all organizations affiliated with the department must meet that standard.

DOW and Scouting America are nearing a final agreement, according to Parnell.

‘Scouting America remains far from perfect, but they have firmly committed to a return to core principles,’ Parnell wrote. ‘Back to God and country—immediately!’

Scouting America told Fox News Digital in a statement via email that the organization was ‘encouraged’ by Parnell’s post.

‘For nearly 116 years Scouting has stood as a cornerstone of American ideals, good citizenship, service, and adventure for American youth,’ Scouting America said. ‘We are encouraged by [Monday’s] social media post by the Pentagon, and we look forward to providing more details as we move ahead.’

Parnell, however, added that the partnership would continue only on condition that Scouting America ‘rapidly implements the common-sense, core value reforms’ the Trump administration has put forth.

‘They are on the clock, and we are watching,’ Parnell wrote, adding that officials may have more to announce soon.

Trump urges Republicans to ‘nationalize’ voting

President Donald Trump urged Republicans to ‘take over’ and ‘nationalize’ voting on Monday.

Trump made the comments during an interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Under the Constitution, states set the rules for both federal and state elections, establishing ‘the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate.’

‘The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,” Trump told Bongino. ‘We should take over the voting … in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes.’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pounced on the idea during remarks on the floor of the Senate.

‘Just a few hours ago, Donald Trump said he wants to nationalize elections around the country. That’s what Trump said. You think he believes in democracy? He said, ‘We want to take over, the Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,” Schumer said Monday. ‘Does Donald Trump need a copy of the Constitution? What he is saying is outlandishly illegal.’

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson later clarified Trump’s comments in a statement to ABC News. She argued Trump was expressing his desire for the U.S. to have free and fair elections.

‘President Trump cares deeply about the safety and security of our elections – that’s why he’s urged Congress to pass the SAVE Act and other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting, prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting, and end the practice of ballot harvesting,’ Jackson said.

Trump’s comments come amid a desperate battle for advantage in the 2026 midterm elections. The GOP and Democrats battled over Congressional redistricting plans throughout last year, with Texas redrawing maps to create five new GOP-favored seats and California countering with its own new maps.

More redistricting battles are continuing across the country as the midterms near.

Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the House, and midterm elections are historically unfavorable for the sitting president’s party.

Trump kicked off an aggressive midterm campaign schedule with a rally in Iowa last week, warning supporters that losing control of Congress would jeopardize his tax cuts, border policies and broader second-term agenda as he urged Republicans to turn out and ‘win the midterms.’

‘If we lose the midterms, you’ll lose so many of the things that we’re talking about, so many of the assets that we’re talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we’re talking about, and it would lead to very bad things,’ Trump told the crowd.

Who is the populist conservative president-elect in Costa Rica?

Laura Fernández Delgado declared victory in the Costa Rican presidential election on Sunday after preliminary results showed her Sovereign People’s Party leading the national vote with just over 48% support.

The National Liberation Party followed in second place with approximately 33% of the vote, according to the latest official tally from Costa Rica’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which oversees and certifies national elections.

‘Change will be deep and irreversible,’ Fernández said at her victory party in San Jose, according to a translation of her remarks from Reuters.

A former government minister, she is the handpicked successor of outgoing President Rodrigo Chaves, who is constitutionally prohibited from seeking re-election.

Fernández, 39, is set to become Costa Rica’s second female president, after Laura Chinchilla, who served from 2010 to 2014.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday congratulated Fernández on her victory in Costa Rica’s presidential election, emphasizing the United States’ commitment to working closely with her incoming administration.

‘Under her leadership, we are confident Costa Rica will continue to advance shared priorities to include combatting narco-trafficking, ending illegal immigration to the United States, promoting cybersecurity and secure telecommunications, and strengthening economic ties,’ Rubio said.

Reuters reported that Fernández, who is married and has a young daughter, has built her political profile around conservative Catholic values and a strong emphasis on family, helping her gain traction among Costa Rica’s expanding evangelical electorate.

She has publicly expressed admiration for Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, and his tough stance on crime, signaling openness to enhanced security measures in violence-prone areas.

Fernández has also said she would complete construction of a maximum-security prison modeled on El Salvador’s CECOT facility as part of a broader strategy to address serious crime.

The president-elect is scheduled to be sworn in on May 8.

Auto Finance Veteran and Former Tesla National Lease Partner Launches AmeriTrust Financial to Fill Used-Car Leasing Gap

AmeriTrust’s platform is the first to deliver side-by-side loan and lease decisions from a single retail application, with live-inventory calculators that enable lower payments on shorter terms.

AmeriTrust Financial, an independent automotive finance company, today announced the launch of a fintech-driven lending platform designed to expand used-car leasing for franchised and large independent dealers nationwide. Backed by institutional investors and a group of billionaires, the company is scaling rapidly across the continental United States. AmeriTrust is currently the only independent lender that offers used-car leasing at a national level.

Dealers can submit a single retail loan application to AmeriTrust and receive side-by-side decisions for both a loan and a lease. AmeriTrust’s technology automatically converts the application for lease structuring, helping dealers offer leasing without added paperwork or specialized calculations. Through used-car leasing, dealers can advertise lower monthly payments without extending loan terms.

‘With grocery bills up and used-car prices still high, consumers need a better path to affordability than simply stretching loan terms,’ said Jeff Morgan, CEO of AmeriTrust Financial and former national lease partner to Tesla. ‘While extending terms can reduce payments, it also increases negative equity and default risk. Used-car leasing is a smarter alternative — and today, only a handful of OEMs provide used-vehicle lease options at scale, leaving a significant gap in the market.’

In addition to side-by-side loan and lease decisions, AmeriTrust also offers:

  • Pre-filled contract and title documentation: AmeriTrust automatically pre-fills all contract paperwork, including title applications and other state-specific forms, helping dealers avoid errors that can delay funding, require re-contracting, or even jeopardize the sale.
  • Leases for every type of driver and credit tier: From leases with no mileage and wear-and-tear penalties to options for subprime credit, AmeriTrust offers multiple used-car lease structures designed to approve as many customers as possible.
  • Payment calculators tied to real-time inventory: At no cost, dealers can connect their inventory to AmeriTrust’s portal and generate loan and lease payments that reflect actual deal terms, not estimates. While a customer is in-store, dealers can compare vehicles across terms, lease types and credit tiers to find the best fit.
  • Exceptionally fast decisioning and funding: Dealers receive decisions within minutes, and most contracts are funded the same day.
  • Free dealer lease training: AmeriTrust will host Q&A sessions and training resources to help dealers understand the nuances of used-car leasing, so they can present lease options to customers with confidence.

‘Leasing makes up 25 percent of the auto finance market for new vehicles,’ Morgan said. ‘But while the used-vehicle market is roughly three times larger, leasing accounts for only about 3 percent of used vehicle financing — and much of that is still tied to OEM certified pre-owned programs. As an independent lender, we have the flexibility to lease any make or model, certified pre-owned or not. The growth opportunity is enormous, and the market is underserved. AmeriTrust is scaling quickly to close that gap.’

In response to this market demand, AmeriTrust Financial attracted investment over the past year from institutional investors and multiple billionaires through its parent company, AmeriTrust Financial Technologies Inc. (TSXV: AMT,OTC:AMTFF)(OTCQB: AMTFF)(Frankfurt:1ZVA). AmeriTrust Financial currently operates in 28 states, with plans to expand across the entire continental United States over the next several months.

To sign up with AmeriTrust, franchised and large independent dealers should call 1-800-600-6872. Approved dealers can submit loan applications through DealerTrack, RouteOne or AmeriTrust’s proprietary portal.

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, AmeriTrust Financial provides new- and used-car loans and leases through franchised and large independent dealers across the United States.

Gold-Copper Consolidation Continues as Eldorado Moves to Acquire Foran

Eldorado Gold Corporation (NYSE:EGO,TSX:ELD) and Foran Mining (TSX:FOM,OTCQX:FMCXF) have agreed to combine in a share-based transaction that would create a larger, diversified gold and copper producer with two major development projects set to enter production in 2026

Under the deal, Eldorado Gold will acquire Foran Mining through a court-approved plan of arrangement. Following completion, Eldorado shareholders will own roughly 76 percent of the combined company, with Foran shareholders holding the remaining 24 percent.

The combination brings together two fully financed development assets: Eldorado’s Skouries project in Greece and Foran’s McIlvenna Bay project in Saskatchewan. Both are on schedule and on budget to reach commercial production by mid-2026.

The companies said the combined group is targeting production of around 900,000 gold-equivalent ounces in 2027, supported by a portfolio weighted approximately 77 percent toward gold, 15 percent toward copper, and 8 percent toward other metals.

Eldorado CEO George Burns said the deal creates “a stronger gold and copper growth company, defined by near-term cash flow generation and multiple catalysts.”

“Increasing our exposure to Canada, through an asset in Saskatchewan, consistently recognized as one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions strengthens our portfolio,” Burns added.

The companies expect the enlarged group to generate about US$1.1 billion in free cash flow in 2027, providing capacity to fund growth, support dividends and share buybacks, and maintain balance sheet flexibility through commodity cycles.

The announcement comes as miners seek to lock in future supply of gold, copper and other critical minerals needed for the electrification of the global economy.

Eldorado’s deal follows several high-profile transactions in recent months, including an agreement by a subsidiary of China’s Zijin Mining Group (HKEX:2899,SHA:601899,OTC Pink:ZIJMF) to acquire Allied Gold in a US$4.1 billion transaction.

Recent swings in gold prices, after a record rally in January, have also sharpened investor scrutiny of acquisition valuations, contributing to the rise of lower-premium deals across the sector.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder, court, and regulatory approvals.

Anteros Metals Provides Phase 1 Drilling Update at Seagull Critical Minerals Project, Ontario

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (‘Anteros’ or the ‘Company’) reports on Phase 1 drilling at the Seagull Critical Minerals Project (the ‘Project’), located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Drilling is being carried out by Rift Minerals Inc. (‘Rift’), as operator, pursuant to the option agreement announced on October 9, 2025, under which Anteros may earn up to a 49% interest in the Project.

Drill hole RM26-01 reached a depth of approximately 1,230 metres before drilling operations were discontinued on February 2, 2026 due to downhole conditions that prevented further advancement. Following technical assessment by the project operator, the decision was made to abandon the hole.

As previously reported on January 21, 2026, RM26-01 intersected localized zones of orthomagmatic sulphide mineralization within the basal cumulate sequence between approximately 588.5 metres and 607.5 metres depth, above the Archean basement contact. These mineralized intervals have been logged and selected for sampling and will be submitted for platinum, palladium, nickel, and copper analysis. Analytical results will be reported when available.

As previously reported on January 23, 2026, a pressurized gas occurrence was encountered at approximately 877 metres depth within a narrow fault zone characterized by bleached rock and clay gouge in otherwise competent metasedimentary rocks, approximately 100 metres from gas occurrences reported in historical drill hole WM01-08. The nature, composition, volume, and significance of the gas have not yet been determined.

Due to the abandonment of the hole and the resulting loss of access to the gas-bearing interval, no further gas sampling or monitoring is planned from RM26-01. Evaluation of the gas occurrence will therefore be limited to observations and data collected prior to abandonment. Selected fault gouge material associated with the gas occurrence has been retained for potential laboratory analysis, subject to suitability of the material.

‘While drilling in RM26-01 was discontinued earlier than planned due to downhole conditions, the program successfully achieved its primary geological objectives and delivered valuable new insight into the Seagull Critical Minerals system,’ said Trumbull Fisher, CEO of Anteros Metals. ‘The hole confirmed sulphide mineralization within the basal cumulate sequence and provided important geological and structural information consistent with our exploration model. In addition, the identification of a localized gas occurrence adds a useful data point to our evolving geological understanding. These results will help guide future exploration planning at Seagull.’

The Company will provide further updates as analytical results become available, which will inform ongoing evaluation of next steps for the Seagull Critical Minerals Project.

ABOUT THE SEAGULL PROJECT

The Project is located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and covers the interpreted mafic-ultramafic Seagull Intrusion within the Nipigon Basin. Historical exploration between 1998 and 2012 included airborne geophysical surveys and approximately 20,000 metres of diamond drilling, which reported disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization containing nickel, copper, and platinum-group elements along parts of the intrusion’s basal contact. These results are historical in nature and have not been independently verified by Anteros.

In 2024, Rift completed an Ambient Noise Tomography (‘ANT’) survey to refine the internal geometry of the Seagull Intrusion and to identify subsurface velocity contrasts interpreted to reflect lithological and alteration variations. These interpretations remain unverified by Anteros.

QUALIFIED PERSON

The scientific and technical information in this news release relating to the Seagull Project was prepared by Rift Minerals Inc. and has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Geoff Heggie, P.Geo. (Ontario), a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. This information has not been independently verified by Anteros Metals Inc. and is provided for geological context only.

ABOUT Anteros Metals Inc.

Anteros Metals Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing a pipeline of projects across Newfoundland and Labrador and select Canadian jurisdictions.

Locksley Announces High-Grade Antimony Results from Batch Sampling Program at its Mojave Project

Locksley Resources Limited (ASX: LKY,OTC:LKYRF; OTCQX: LKYRF; OTCQX ADR: LKYLY) announced that a batch sampling program at the DAM antimony (Sb) deposit, part of the Mojave Project in California,  returned high grade antimony results.

The batch sampling program, which was designed to further evaluate the high-grade antimony mineralization at DAM following technical milestones achieved in late 2025, including a 325kg sample and the production of a 68.1% Sb premium concentrate, targeted specific mineralized vein material within the historical workings. Detailed information can be found here: https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-03052293-6A1310222&v=undefined.

‘The results exceeded our expectations,’ said Kerrie Matthews, Locksley Managing Director and CEO. She added, ‘There were three batches sampled. Batch 1 returned a weighted average of 25.7% while Batches 2 and 3 sampling focused on both high-grade and low-grade material to provide a representative range for metallurgical testwork, returning weighted averages of 21.3% Sb and 11.4% Sb, respectively. The total weighted average grade of all samples combined (287kg) was 18.7% Sb.’

Matthews noted that Locksley’s consistent return of double-digit percentages at more than 25% underscores the potential for the Desert Antimony Mine. ‘We aren’t just looking at byproduct antimony; we are looking at a rich, primary source of a metal that the U.S. Department of Defense and the energy sector desperately need.’

Locksley Resources (https://www.locksleyresources.com.au) is focused on critical minerals in the U.S. The company is actively advancing the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley is executing a mine-to-market strategy for antimony, aimed at reestablishing domestic supply chains for critical materials, underpinned by strategic downstream technology partnerships with leading U.S. research institutions and industry partners. This targeted approach, combined with resource development with innovative processing and separation technologies, positions Locksley to play a role in advancing U.S. critical materials independence.
