The Memo: Trump adopts new aggressive stance on Russia
President Trump moved to a more aggressive footing with Russia on Monday, promising to funnel weapons through NATO allies to Ukraine and threatening to hammer Moscow's trading partners with sanctions. Even though there is a lengthy hiatus of 50 days before those sanctions would take effect, it's still a notable shift from the president. Trump had long been skeptical of the pace and scale of U.S. aid to Ukraine. It has been only a little more than four months since he and Vice President Vance had a famously fractious meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. In the aftermath of that meeting, where Zelensky was assailed for his supposed ingratitude and the weakness of his bargaining position, it seemed like the choking off of U.S. military aid to Kyiv was near-certain. That, in turn, would make a Russian victory in the war begun by President Vladimir Putin's February 2022 invasion equally inevitable. Now, the picture looks very different. Trump — for reasons that appear personal as much as strategic — has become increasingly irritated with Putin's refusal to bring the war to an end. On Monday, meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump complained that he enjoys 'very pleasant' phone calls with Putin only to see Russian 'missiles go off that night.' The accusation of double-dealing or disingenuousness on the part of Putin has become more of a centerpiece of Trump's rhetoric recently. On Monday, he contended that Putin 'didn't fool' him, even as he held that the Russian leader had pulled the wool over the eyes of past Presidents Biden, Obama and George W. Bush. Just last week, Trump made a similar point in even more pointed terms, saying, 'We get a lot of bulls‑‑‑ thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time but it turns out to be meaningless.' Now, of course, the question is how meaningful Trump's own shift will be. The most obviously substantive move is the provision of weapons — notably Patriot air defense systems. The deal by which those, and other weapons, will be bought by European NATO members and then transferred on to Ukraine seems to resolve one central tension in the conflict. It enables Trump to vastly reduce the cost to the U.S. Treasury Department — and thus to U.S. taxpayers — of military aid to Ukraine, while bolstering Ukraine's defenses and ameliorating the panic from U.S. allies in Europe that Trump's isolation would invite greater Russian expansionism. Referring to NATO allies, Trump said Monday, 'We are going to be sending them weapons, and they're going to be paying for them. We're not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they're going to be paying for them.' The Wall Street Journal, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the upcoming weapons transfers, reported that the package could be worth about $10 billion. The Department of State says the United States has provided almost $67 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since Russia's invasion. The sanctions element of Monday's proposal was a bit more vague. Trump initially used the word 'tariffs' to describe what he had in mind as a tactic to deepen Russia's economic isolation. But it fell to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to clarify that Trump was in fact suggesting the imposition of economic sanctions on Moscow's trading partners. Those sanctions are supposedly going to take effect if a peace deal is not arrived at within Trump's 50-day time frame. There are a few obvious caveats. The most obvious is whether Trump will follow through given his propensity to move in unpredictable ways. A second is whether Putin would try to persuade the president, during that period, that it is actually Ukraine that is being the more stubborn party. A third mixed signal came even Monday, when Trump appeared lukewarm about the proposed congressional legislation that would ramp up sanctions on Russia directly. Even so, it's notable that the more hawkish members of the GOP, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have been vocally enthusiastic about Trump's apparent shift. There are, too, some in Republican circles who believe Trump's instinctive isolationism has been diluted somewhat by the perceived success of the recent U.S. airstrikes against targets in Iran — strikes that resulted neither in any casualties for the U.S. nor created any serious danger of getting sucked into a longer war. The American public also seems to have an appetite for tougher economic measures against Russia. An Economist/YouGov poll last month found that 44 percent of Americans surveyed favored increasing sanctions on Russia and 19 percent wanted to maintain sanctions at their current level, while only 15 percent wanted to reduce or eliminate sanctions. Much remains uncertain, including how Putin will react to Monday's announcements. And, of course, the biggest vexing question is how many concessions either Russia or Ukraine are willing to make to end the war. But Trump, long derided by critics for his softness on Putin, is this time taking a harder line than he ever has before. The Memo is a reported column by Niall Stanage.

Registrar Computershare among suitors for former fintech star PrimaryBid
The Australian-listed share registrar Computershare is among a pack of suitors circling PrimaryBid, one of the most prominent British fintech businesses to be established during the last decade. Sky News has learnt that Computershare has expressed an interest in acquiring PrimaryBid, which was put up for sale earlier this year. PrimaryBid, which counts London Stock Exchange Group and the SoftBank Vision Fund among its investors, has drawn interest from a large number of parties, including investment banks and market infrastructure providers, according to insiders. Money: Thousands of customers due a refund - as network apologises The company was founded with a simple vision to help ordinary investors gatecrash the closed City ranks of corporate fundraisings and flotations by aggregating demand from retail shareholders into a single, enlarged order. That mission to democratise access to public markets won support from politicians and market participants. It made significant progress towards this goal during the pandemic, notably securing a slice of a £2bn share sale announced by Compass Group, the FTSE 100 contract caterer. Since then, it has worked on hundreds of deals and helped raise roughly $2bn in equity for listed companies. However, it has been hit by a severe slowdown in equity capital markets activity, prompting it to launch a strategic review and hire US-based market infrastructure specialist Rosenblatt Securities to evaluate its strategic options. PrimaryBid has been facing into the weakest IPO market in years, which it has been attempting to mitigate by striking partnerships with the likes of US fintech group SoFi, as well as European groups. It has now reshaped its UK operations and stepped back from regulated activities, having for several months explored a deal with LSEG, one of its largest shareholders, to license its retail capital-raising technology. For some time, the company was chaired by Sir Donald Brydon, the veteran businessman who also used to chair the stock exchange's parent company. Earlier this year, LSEG wrote down the value of its 7.2% stake in PrimaryBid by 87%, implying that the business now had a valuation of just £56m. Computershare's interest in a deal is said to be exploratory, with many other prospective bidders at a similar stage. A Computershare spokesman said: "We do not comment on market speculation." PrimaryBid declined to comment.

Gen Z More Likely Than Millennials to Choose Financial Stability Over Love
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Gen Z was more likely to choose financial stability over love than their millennial elders, according to a new report. While 59 percent of millennials said they would prioritize a "broke and magical" relationship over financial security, only 54 of Gen Z said the same in a new Tawkify survey of 1,000 Americans. Why It Matters Both millennials and Gen Z have faced their fair share of financial challenges, including skyrocketing costs of higher education, student loan debt, an increasingly unaffordable housing market and surging inflation on everyday necessities. However, Gen Z may be a bit more cash strapped than millennials. New survey data from Empower reported that Gen Z participants pay an average of $526 per month toward student loans, significantly above the overall average payment of $284 for all age groups.

A couple sits at an outdoor restaurant on Memorial Day weekend on May 29, 2021 in New York To Know Roughly 46 percent of Gen Z said they would choose long term financial stability over romantic love in 2025, compared to just 41 percent of millennials. "Millennials have been through more, they've had time to explore love, make mistakes, and go through breakups," Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. "Gen Z, on the other hand, came of age during economic chaos. Many of them have only known the broke experience, so it's no surprise that financial stability ranks higher on their list. They're trying to avoid what they've seen; the struggle, stress, and survival mode." Across the larger population, Americans were far more likely to choose love over monetary success. The survey reported that around two in three Americans, or 63 percent, would marry for love even if it meant a lifelong financial struggle. Older generations were generally more skeptical of the power of love over finances, with only 48 percent of baby boomers and 46 percent of Gen X likely to prioritize love over financial security. That potentially makes Gen Z's inclination for financial security over love beyond millennials' indicative of larger economic trends they are facing in their personal lives, experts say. Gen Z has been stereotyped as often glued to social media, where they are presented with certain depictions of celebrity and influencer wealthy lifestyles. And since Gen Z came of age during the 2020 recession, they watched millennials get crushed by housing costs, gig economy, and endless "experiences over things" mantras that left bank accounts empty, said Michael Ryan, a finance expert and founder of "Gen Z isn't choosing money over love," Ryan told Newsweek. "They're choosing survival. Why? Because they've watched their older siblings drown in student debt while Instagram-perfect couples split over Venmo requests." Women were also more likely to choose love over money in the report, with 58 percent saying they'd prioritize the "broke and magical relationship" over financial security, whereas just 51 percent of men said the same. The exact financial situation daters are looking for in a partner varies by generation. Gen X and baby boomers said their ideal partner would have an average salary of $115,000, while millennials and Gen Z said $100,000 and $80,000 respectively. What People Are Saying Brie Temple, COO and chief matchmaker at Tawkify, told Newsweek: "They don't think of it as being cold, they think of it as being clever. It's a pragmatic attitude born out of a struggling economy and an actual fear of repeating the mistakes of the past. Long term, this may cause more people to put relationships, marriage, or even having children on hold, not because they don't want them, but because they don't feel prepared. Gen Z isn't abandoning love; they just need to be in a good spot before they take the leap." Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek: "Longer term, this shift in priorities could have real consequences—delayed marriages, fewer kids, and relationships that are more transactional than emotional. You're already seeing younger women having children with older men, and divorce rates creeping up. It's all tied to a larger economic reality: love is still important, but financial peace of mind is becoming the non-negotiable." Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "This may come as no surprise, as the Millennial generation typically gets labeled as being one that favors experiences over consumer goods and activism over comfort. With Gen Z, we've seen this thinking revert back to prior generations that favored financial stability over other traits a relationship could carry with it. A society with more financial stability is a good one not just for the overall economy, but the finances of individual households." Michael Ryan, a finance expert and founder of told Newsweek: "Gen Z has seen what happens when you choose the charming barista over the boring accountant, eviction notices and ramen diets... A 'broke and magical' relationship hits different when gas is $3.50 and groceries cost $200 weekly. Gen Z understands that love doesn't pay rent." Dr. Wendy Walsh, a relationship expert for and psychology professor at California State University Channel Islands, told Newsweek: "Gen Z is the building generation. They are still building their lives and acquiring stuff. These young people are sharing rented apartments with roommates or still living in their parents' homes. Financial security is associated with freedom for Gen Z." What Happens Next Ryan said the generational shift is likely to reshape dating culture, where compatible credit scores are more likely to attract each other. "Expect delayed partnerships until financial stability is achieved, financial compatibility replacing 'spark' as the primary filter," Ryan said. "Romance isn't dead. It's just got better financial planning."
