According to Fox News, @SecDef described @realDonaldTrump as the 'greatest commander in chief' and highlighted his unwavering support for America's heroes. Trump expressed gratitude to @PeteHegseth for the acknowledgment and criticized political opponents. This endorsement may strengthen investor sentiment in U.S. defense stocks, such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, with potential spillover effects on crypto markets linked to U.S. policy stability and military spending trends (source: Fox News). Traders should monitor defense sector ETFs and crypto assets tied to geopolitical risk for increased volatility.

According to Fox News, Trump continues to defend Qatar's $400 million gift of a jet to the US, emphasizing that 'we should have the most impressive plane' (source: Fox News, May 14, 2025). This high-profile defense sector development could influence defense-related stocks such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, as well as create ripple effects in the crypto market where defense and government spending announcements can drive speculative trading activity, especially in tokenized defense and security assets.
