Why it matters: The announcement sent financial markets tumbling in anticipation of a potential trade war between the U.S. and its top trading partners.
Domino's Pizza is ending its holdout on stuffed crust after decades of resisting the cheesy trend.
Between the lines: The nation's largest pizza chain is setting its sights on Pizza Hut and other rivals with the addition of Parmesan Stuffed Crust.
It's "made of premium buttery-flavored dough, stuffed with melty cheese made with 100% real mozzarella, and topped with Domino's garlic seasoning and a sprinkle of Parmesan."
Fun fact: A Brooklyn construction supervisor secured a patent for stuffed crust pizza back in 1987, and (unsuccessfully) tried to sue Pizza Hut for $1 billion following its star-studded rollout of the offering in 1995.
A cryptocurrency reserve held by the U.S. government would not necessarily require taxpayer money for the feds to set up a stash of several billion dollars' worth, but that doesn't mean everyone — even everyone in the crypto industry — thinks it is a good idea.
Why it matters: President Trump, who calls himself America's "first crypto president," stoked a $300 billion cryptocurrency rally this past weekend with a social post about a reserve that would include several major cryptocurrencies.
Long-threatened tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go into effect Tuesday, as will increased levies on China, President Trump confirmed.

Why it matters: The Seattle-based company, under CEO Brian Niccol, has been making a series of changes as part of its "Back to Starbucks" rollout to try to reverse a decline in foot traffic.
Crashing a car is like crashing a computer these days — and the result is a higher share of vehicles being totaled.
Why it matters: When cars, pickups and SUVs are deemed a total loss, it leads to higher replacement costs and higher insurance premiums for everyone else.
America is the world's biggest business, and its shareholders — U.S. taxpayers — should be panicked about the state of their investment, says star Wall Street analyst-turned investor Mary Meeker.
Why it matters: For the first time since 2011, Meeker examined the financials of the U.S. the way she would analyze those of a public company. "USA Inc," however, has more at stake than any single corporation: America's worsening fiscal position could limit its ability to respond to economic or geopolitical threats down the line.
New York launched a job recruitment ad campaign targeting fired federal workers at midnight Monday.
The big picture: Gov. Kathy Hochul's (D) "you're hired" campaign to fill 7,000 public sector roles follows similar jobs initiatives in other states aimed at people who were laid off in the Trump administration's federal government overhaul, driven by DOGE, which billionaire Elon Musk is the face of.
