[US Democrats Plan to Pressure Trump on Five Fronts: Covering Cryptocurrency, AI Regulation, Iran Policy, etc.] Odaily Planet Daily reports that the US Democratic Party will utilize the oversight powers of relevant committees in the House and Senate over the next two years to exert pressure on the Trump administration in five key areas: government investigations, the fiscal budget, Iran policy, artificial intelligence regulation, and cryptocurrency legislation. Regarding cryptocurrencies, the Democrats' efforts to establish a regulatory framework for the crypto market have stalled, primarily because senators and the White House have failed to reach an agreement on ethical provisions related to politicians' crypto businesses. These provisions aim to limit potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump's personal cryptocurrency business, further clouding the prospects for crypto market regulatory legislation similar to the CLARITY Act. In the House, Maxine Waters is expected to chair the Financial Services Committee, but her long-held position faces a challenge from Sean Casten. In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren will chair the Banking Committee; she has long been critical of cryptocurrencies, and Sherrod Brown will also return to the Senate, further increasing the legislative resistance faced by the crypto industry. In addition, regarding AI regulation, Democrats plan to strengthen investigations into AI companies and their CEOs, focusing on data center construction, risks of advanced AI models, and the impact of technology on the job market. On Iran policy, Democrats may use measures such as defense budgets, congressional investigations, and war powers resolutions to counterbalance the Trump administration. (Bloomberg)
