<li>Trump expected to nominate Lieutenant General Grynkewich</li>
<li>Grynkewich would serve as Supreme Allied Commander Europe</li>
<li>Trump privately communicated decision to NATO's Rutte</li>
<li>Move quells allies' fears that US would relinquish post</li>
</ul>
WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS, May 30 (Reuters) - President <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump/">Donald Trump</a> will maintain the traditional role of a U.S. general at the helm of NATO, at least for now, three U.S. officials, a Western official and a NATO source said, even as Washington pushes European allies to take more responsibility for their security.
Trump himself privately communicated the decision to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, the Western official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Pentagon, White House and NATO did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The decision will relieve European NATO allies and even some of Trump's fellow Republicans amid concerns that Washington's tough talk on Europe, and skepticism about the war in Ukraine, could signal a swift retrenchment in America's military leadership.
Still, officials say U.S. warnings that Trump's administration needs to shift its focus to Asia and homeland security are sincere. While no decisions have been made, Trump's administration has discussed possible troop reductions in Europe, where about 80,000 U.S. personnel are based today.
The next expected U.S. nominee for the positions of both Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and U.S. European Command (EUCOM) is Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, the U.S. officials said.
The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of an announcement expected in the coming days.
The position of SACEUR, which oversees all NATO operations in Europe, has been filled by a U.S. general since its creation after World War Two. U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower became the alliance's first SACEUR in 1951.
Since taking office in January, Trump's administration has pressured Europe to ramp up its own defense spending, saying Europe should be primarily responsible for defense on the European continent.
How quickly Europe assumes such a role remains a big question, and there have been discussions within the administration about the possibility of handing over the job of Supreme Allied Commander Europe to a European nation, officials say.
"Make no mistake: President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into 'Uncle Sucker'," U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3P40W2">told reporters</a> during a visit to NATO headquarters in February.
During Trump's first term, maintaining NATO and the leading U.S. role in the alliance was a top priority for his Pentagon chiefs. Retired Marine Corps General Jim Mattis, his first defense secretary, resigned in part because of Trump's skepticism towards NATO.
While the United States was still expected to pressure Europe to do more, and could in the future start redirecting U.S. troops elsewhere as part of a broader review of U.S. deployments, the U.S. decision to maintain the role of SACEUR is certain to be welcomed by key allies of Trump in Congress.
The two Republican lawmakers who lead the Pentagon's oversight committees in the U.S. Congress issued a <a href="reuters://REALTIME/verb=NewsStory/ric=nL1N3Q21CF">rare joint statement</a> in March expressing alarm about a potential U.S. withdrawal from the SACEUR command structure.
Grynkewich, who is now the director for operations at the U.S. military's Joint Staff, would succeed Army General Christopher Cavoli, who has been in the role since shortly after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, helping oversee billions of dollars in U.S. security assistance to Kyiv.
Trump entered office in January predicting he would be able to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. In the months since, he has found that the conflict is more intractable than he believed and has blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, for allowing it to happen.

Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) CEO Vlad Tenev on Thursday warned that political conflict in Washington could derail <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">critical crypto legislation</a>, emphasizing the need for regulatory clarity in the U.S. to realize the full potential of tokenized assets.
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/05/29/why-stablecoins-took-centerstage-at-bitcoins-largest-conference-cnbc-crypto-world.html">Speaking </a>with CNBC at the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Conference 2025, Tenev emphasized that legislative gridlock could hinder efforts to modernize U.S. financial infrastructure and create uncertainty over how crypto assets are regulated.
Tenev identified market structure legislation as a potential casualty of political infighting. 
"It's a concern," he said, referencing conflicts over regulatory jurisdiction and recent criticisms surrounding political figures&#8217; ties to crypto-related ventures. 
"You don't know which regulator you're going to be dealing with or which rules you're going to follow," he added, describing the current lack of regulatory clarity as a serious impediment to business.
Despite these concerns, Tenev noted that tokenization, especially of public and private equities, could move forward without needing congressional approval.

He suggested the SEC could enable such innovations via exemptive relief, akin to its approach with alternative trading systems decades ago. 
"We believe the SEC can just do it," he said, pointing to ongoing engagements with the SEC's crypto task force and other agencies.
He also criticized existing accreditation rules that prevent retail investors from accessing high-growth private companies like SpaceX and OpenAI, while allowing speculative investments in meme coins. Tenev advocated for self-certification frameworks to level the playing field.
Tenev argued that enabling global access to tokenized U.S. assets could strengthen American financial dominance and democratize venture capital access worldwide. 
He compared this to the international rise of stablecoins as substitutes for dollars in economies with volatile local currencies.

U.S. consumer sentiment stayed at 3-year lows in May 2025, while short-term inflation expectations surged to their highest level since 1981, according to the final report released <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">by the University of Michigan. </a>
The Consumer Sentiment Index for May 2025 came in at 52.2 points, upwardly revised from a preliminary 50.8 but unchanged from April, the survey showed. 
This ends four months of continuous declines, though the index remains at its lowest since November 2022 and 24.5% lower than it was a year ago.
The Current Economic Conditions Index dropped 1.5% month-on-month to 58.9, again the lowest since November 2022, while the Index of Consumer Expectations improved slightly to 47.9, up 1.3% from April.
Joanne Hsu, director of the Surveys of Consumers, said that while sentiment had initially dropped in early May, it &#8220;turned a corner&#8221; later in the month. 
Hsu attributed this to the temporary suspension of some tariffs on Chinese imports, which may have improved business expectations. 
Yet, the expert said these improvements were &#8220;offset by declines in current personal finances stemming from stagnating incomes throughout May.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Fears Surge To 44-Year High</h3>
Short-term inflation expectations jumped to 6.6%, up from 6.5% in April, reaching the highest level since November 1981. This reflects mounting anxiety among consumers despite relatively tame recent inflation data.
Notably, the gap between one-year inflation expectations and April's Personal Consumption Expenditures index—up just 2.1% year-over-year—stands at a historic 4.5 percentage points.
This marks the widest spread ever recorded, highlighting a severe disconnect between how Americans feel and what official data shows.
Meanwhile, long-run inflation expectations slipped to 4.2% in May from 4.4% in April, ending a rare four-month streak of increases.

Shares of Palantir Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) jumped 4.6%, leading tech gains. 
Meanwhile, bond markets reacted by pricing in slower economic momentum. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped to 4.91%, down sharply from last week's peak of 5.15%. The U.S. dollar also slipped.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Similar to its warehouse club peers, BJ's charges annual membership fees and keeps costs down by operating a "no-frills" store environment. The company limits the use of distribution centers where possible and stores inventory on pallets directly on the sales floor, often in bulk quantities. The company also offers a limited assortment of 7,000 stock-keeping units at its warehouses to achieve greater procurement scale on select items. About 80% of BJ's net sales come from grocery items and general merchandise, with the remaining 20% stemming from gasoline and other ancillary services.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
