Topic: Remittances

Pakistan has signed an agreement with World Liberty Financial to explore using the dollar-pegged stablecoin USD1 for international remittances and payments. The partnership involves Pakistan's central bank integrating the digital token into its regulated payment system to reduce cash usage. This move aligns with more crypto-friendly policies introduced under the Trump administration.

Donald Trump's official platform outlines how Mexico would pay for a border wall through the impoundment of remittance payments from illegal wages and increased fees on visas for Mexican CEOs and diplomats. The plan also suggests hiking fees at ports of entry and cutting foreign aid if Mexico does not comply. This specific policy detail is rarely discussed in mainstream media debates, which often focus on the rhetoric rather than the mechanics of the proposal.
