The Pentagon is in early discussions with major American manufacturers including automotive leaders General Motors and Ford Motor about redirecting a portion of their factory capacity and workforce toward producing military munitions and equipment, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing sources familiar with the matter.Senior defense officials have been meeting with corporate executives to explore how commercial industrial capacity can be leveraged to support and supplement traditional defense contractors. The goal is to rapidly scale the domestic production of high-demand military hardware such as missiles, drones, and advanced tactical systems as global conflicts continue to strain existing U.S. stockpiles. The outreach is part of a broader Trump administration push to place America's defense industrial base on what officials are calling a "wartime footing." Ongoing conflicts, particularly in Ukraine and involving Iran, have significantly depleted military supplies, prompting Washington to look beyond its conventional defense supply chain for solutions. Aerospace and industrial manufacturers GE Aerospace and Oshkosh Corporation are also among the companies engaged in these preliminary conversations. This initiative signals growing concern within the U.S. government over the nation's limited domestic weapons production capacity. By bringing commercial manufacturers into the fold, the Pentagon aims to build more resilient and scalable supply chains capable of meeting rising national security demands especially in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape. While the discussions remain in early stages, the move reflects a significant strategic shift:

South Korea's Unification Ministry pushed back Friday against reports that Washington had expressed displeasure and threatened to limit intelligence sharing after a South Korean minister publicly identified a previously undisclosed North Korean nuclear facility.The controversy stems from remarks made by Unification Minister Chung Dong-young during a parliamentary hearing on March 6, where he stated that North Korea operates a uranium enrichment facility in Kusong — a site not previously confirmed publicly — in addition to the widely known facilities at Yongbyon and Kangson. South Korean officials said Chung's comments were grounded in publicly available information, including reports from international research institutions, and that Washington had acknowledged this explanation.The report, published by South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo and citing sources from both countries, claimed the United States had signaled its intention to partially curtail North Korea-related intelligence sharing with Seoul. According to the report, Chung's disclosure served as the immediate trigger, but broader frustrations over a series of foreign policy and security disagreements between the two allies had been building for some time.A ministry spokesperson confirmed that following an inquiry from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea provided a thorough background briefing on the minister's statements and believed the explanation had been accepted. Officials added that they were not aware of any formal protest or active restrictions on intelligence sharing.Adding to the complexity, Minister Chung had attributed his Kusong claim to statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi during an IAEA board meeting. However, a review of the official IAEA transcript shows Grossi's remarks referenced only Yongbyon and Kangson, with no mention of Kuso

Crypto-linked stocks surged Friday, led by a sharp rally in beaten-down digital asset treasury firms, as progress toward ending the Iran war jolted risk assets, sending bitcoin to a two-month high of $78,000.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran committed to keeping open the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy markets.

#According to French authorities, roughly 40 cryptocurrency-related kidnappings and hostage-takings since the start of the year.  Advertisement Criminal syndicates are increasingly targeting digital asset investors, institutional executives, and their families in calculated plots to extort irreversible crypto ransoms.Escalating crypto extortion Cryptocurrency-related abductions were considered to be "marginal" and barely known before 2024. However, the threat landscape shifted drastically over the past two years.

Advertisement The violent nature of such crimes grabbed international headlines in January 2025. Back then, kidnappers targeted David Balland, a French crypto boss and co-founder of the hardware wallet firm Ledge. They severed Balland's finger to extort a hefty crypto ransom. Balland was freed the following day, and his girlfriend was later discovered tied up in the trunk of a car.

Slash raised $100M at a $1.4B valuation as it processes over $1B in annualized stablecoin payments for 5,000+ businesses, turning crypto into back‑office banking rails. Summary Enterprise banking platform Slash has raised $100 million in a Series C round led by Ribbit Capital, lifting its valuation to about $1.4 billion and bringing total funding to more than $160 million. The San Francisco‑based firm now serves over 5,000 corporate clients with a bundle that includes stablecoin payments, corporate and virtual accounts, expense management and real‑time payouts, and says annualized stablecoin volume has already crossed $1 billion less than a year after launch. Slash plans to use the new capital to double down on its “bank account as financial command center” pitch, aiming squarely at the same treasury and payout rails that have drawn players like Ripple, which agreed to acquire stablecoin payments platform Rail for $200 million in 2025. Slash’s $100M round and stablecoin push Slash Financial, a business banking platform built for online‑first companies, has secured $100 million in Series C funding at a roughly $1.4 billion valuation as stablecoin payments quietly become core B2B plumbing rather than a side experiment. The round was led by Ribbit Capital with participation from Khosla Ventures and Goodwater Capital, while existing backers New Enterprise Associates and Y Combinator joined for what Slash said is their fourth investment in the company. In a company blog announcing the deal, Slash CEO Victor Cardenas wrote that the team is “building the world’s most powerful business banking platform,” positioning the product as a “financial command center” that lets companies manage bank accounts, cards, payouts and crypto rails from one dashboard. Slash says it now serves “more than 5,000” corporate clients ranging from startups to larger online merchants, offering features such as multi‑currency accounts, virtual cards, expense management and real‑time local payments.
