The Jeep® brand is America's most patriotic and has been for 24 years in a row, according to Brand Keys Most Patriotic Brands survey. Consumers assessed Jeep among the 1,350 brands in the survey as the one that best embodies the value of patriotism in 2025.

'Being named America's most patriotic brand for nearly a quarter century straight simply reminds anyone who's ever been in a Jeep vehicle what they inherently already know to be true; that owning or driving a Jeep vehicle brings with it an intense amount of pride,' said Bob Broderdorf, CEO, Jeep brand. 'A brand first forged in freedom over 80 years ago now carries that freedom and adventure forward, no matter the road ahead. We're incredibly humbled by the connection customers have to our brand and the vital values it represents for them.'
'The Jeep brand has been ranked as America's No. 1 Most Patriotic Brand by Brand Keys since we began the survey 24 years ago,' said Robert Passikoff, president and founder of Brand Keys. 'Jeep is seen as the most patriotic because it connects emotionally charged ideas of freedom, military heritage, adventure and rugged individualism to the American spirit. When it comes to Jeep, consumers aren't just buying a vehicle – they're affirming a true cultural identity. And at a time when trust in traditional institutions is shaky, brands like Jeep have become emotional proxies for national pride. They deserve our praise and our congratulations again this year!'

Myanmar remains upbeat on trade talks despite 40% Trump tariffs
YANGON: Myanmar's military government said it remains upbeat on reaching a deal with the US to see a decrease in Trump's new tariffs of 40% on goods from the South-East Asian country. "The US continues to negotiate with us on this so it's still in a stage of negotiation,' Zaw Min Tun, chief spokesman of the ruling State Security and Peace Commission, told Bloomberg News on Saturday (Aug 2). Myanmar has offered to reduce its tariff on American goods entering the country to a range of 0%-15%, from the previous rate of 88%, and expects the ones imposed by the US to drop to a range of 0%-7%, he said. The nature and channel of ongoing discussions between the US and Myanmar is not immediately clear as Washington has imposed sanctions on most of Myanmar generals and cabinet members following a military coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi-led civilian government in 2021. Last month, junta chief Min Aung Hlaing (pic) praised Donald Trump in a rare letter and compared his military's coup to the American president's baseless claims of US election fraud, suggesting both leaders were victims of rigged votes. In the letter, he requested a reduced tariff rate and offered to send a high-level trade delegation to Washington. Myanmar's bilateral trade with the US is relatively small compared to other countries in the region. The value of two-way trade was US$588.3 million in the fiscal year ended March, down from $701.9 million a year earlier, while the US continued to see a trade deficit, according to government data. Myanmar has been struggling with a crippling economy and a growing civil war since the military seized power more than four years ago. Earlier this week, the regime lifted a 54-month state of emergency, paving way for long-promised general elections in December which many countries consider as a sham. - Bloomberg

Mistral in talks with VC firms, MGX to raise funds at $10 billion valuation, FT reports
A message reading "AI artificial intelligence", a keyboard, and robot hands are seen in this illustration taken January 27, 2025. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/ File Photo (Reuters) -French artificial intelligence startup Mistral is in talks with investors, venture capital firms and Abu Dhabi's MGX to raise $1 billion at a valuation of $10 billion, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The company launched in June Europe's first AI reasoning model, which uses logical thinking to create a response, as it tries to keep pace with American and Chinese rivals at the forefront of AI development. The funding would accelerate the commercial rollout of Mistral's Le Chat chatbot and support continued development of its large language models, the report said. MGX and Mistral did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The startup raised 600 million euros in a Series B funding round that valued the company at 5.8 billion euros last year. Industry observers consider Mistral as Europe's best-positioned AI company to rival Silicon Valley leaders, though the French firm has yet to achieve comparable market traction or revenue scale. Mistral counts Nvidia, Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed Venture Partners among its investors. (Reporting by Akash Sriram in Bengaluru; Editing by Alan Barona)

US revises tariff rate to 19%
However, nation must urgently diversify its export destinations PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's revised tariff rate of 19% on exports to the United States offers a temporary competitive edge in the region but underscores the urgency for export diversification amid signs of growing US protectionism, economists warn. Prof Emeritus Dr Barjoyai Bardai said the revised rate, down from 25% previously, positions Malaysia on par with neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and the Philippines. He said the rate is still more favourable than those imposed on Myanmar (40%), Vietnam (20%) and Taiwan (20%). 'We seem to be able to compete with our neighbouring countries. But we are far behind Singapore at 10%, as well as Japan and South Korea at 15%. 'With India at 25%, we are in a better position,' he said when contacted. What we really want to see is that the tariff imposed on Malaysia is as low or better than that of countries that are our competitors because we are exporting to the United States. 'So, if those countries have equal or higher tariffs than us, then our ability to compete remains intact,' he added. However, he said that certain Malaysian exports may be vulnerable, especially low-margin products such as solar panels, and electrical and electronic goods. On the trade balance with the US, he said it depends on whether Malaysian imports from the US increase significantly, especially luxury goods, following the government's decision to scrap the luxury tax. 'Although the luxury tax has been included in the expanded SST, the rate is still low,' he added. He said Malaysia must urgently diversify its export destinations, as the US moves towards a more self-sufficient economy. Barjoyai said semiconductors should be directed to countries with growing demand, such as China, India and Europe. CLICK TO ENLARGE For other items like solar panels, he said Malaysia should consider Latin America, Canada and Europe. 'There are still many untapped markets. In the long run, the United States will become a domestic-driven economy where they will seek to reduce imports. 'Today, they are already about 80% self-sustaining,' he added. Echoing similar concerns, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the tariff adjustment signals that the United States remains open to dialogue, but the economic implications for Malaysia remain. 'As a result of recent discussions, the previously imposed retaliatory tariffs of 25% have now been reduced to 19%. 'Consequently, the negative impact on Malaysia's economy is expected to be slightly mitigated. 'In this regard, Bank Negara has revised its GDP forecast for 2025 to a range of 4.0% to 4.8%, down from the earlier projection of 4.5% to 5.5%,' he said. Afzanizam also highlighted the potential global impact of US tariffs. 'The 19% import tariff is expected to impact American consumers' purchasing power. 'This may, in turn, dampen economic momentum in the US, which is the world's largest economy. It poses a potential risk to global economic growth in the coming years,' Afzanizam said. He also called for a balanced approach to foreign relations and economic strategy. 'It is crucial to preserve strong bilateral ties with the United States, while simultaneously exploring new opportunities with countries in Europe, the BRICS bloc, and strengthening economic and diplomatic cooperation within Asean. 'At the same time, efforts to boost productivity, build capacity and enhance economic resilience must be intensified to safeguard Malaysia's economic sovereignty. 'These measures will reinforce investor and business confidence, underpinned by pragmatic policies and the government's proactive response to emerging challenges,' he added. Centre for Market Education chief executive officer Carmelo Ferlito, meanwhile, said the tariff revision reflects a political strategy rather than a pure economic measure. 'The reciprocal tariff on Malaysia to 19% is the proof of what I have mentioned earlier,' he said, adding that US President Donald Trump was not interested in tariffs per se, but to reopen negotiating tables. He said this is to show that the United States is the biggest consumer in the world and force countries to get closer to the United States as well as grant commercial facilitations. Ferlito criticised the use of tariffs as a policy tool, arguing that they hurt both consumers and workers. 'Tariffs are bad, not just for Malaysia, but for the world,' he said, adding that ultimately, tariffs reduce trade opportunities. 'This means less choice for consumers, but also job losses, on both sides,' he added.
