Tencent bets its China WeChat and gaming expertise will help it win cloud business in Europe

This is CNBC’s live blog covering European markets.Israeli stocks hit new all-time highAs global shares started selling off Monday, one bright spot of the equity market stood firm: Israel.International stocks initially appeared unperturbed by the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, largely rallying on Monday as the fighting entered its fourth day.However, as military strikes continued on Tuesday, European and Asia-Pacific shares were more volatile, while U.S. stock futures also moved lower.Bucking the global trend, stocks listed in Israel rallied. The Tel Aviv 125 index, last seen trading 1.1% higher, extended gains from the previous session that saw it reach a record high. The country’s Tel Aviv 35 index, home to the country’s largest listed firms, gained 1% — meaning it hit a fresh all-time high level on after previously reaching a new all-time high on Monday.— Chloe TaylorUK stocks shrug off signing of U.S. trade dealSuzanne Plunkett | ReutersBritish Prime Minister Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump meet at the G7 summit, in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, June 16, 2025. The announcement late Monday that the U.K. and U.S. have signed off on a previously-announced trade deal — accompanied by effusive praise of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer by U.S. President Donald Trump — has done little to lift market sentiment on Tuesday morning.The FTSE 100 is down 0.5%, and firms that could stand to benefit from the slashed tariff rates on autos and zero tariffs on aerospace parts were little changed. Those included Aston Martin Lagonda, up 0.76%, Rolls-Royce, down 1.2%, with the impact largely already priced in.Uncertainty meanwhile remains over what will be agreed for British steel and pharmaceutical firms, with rates not clarified in the announcement.— Jenni ReidEuropean stocks open lowerWe’re 30 minutes into Tuesday’s trading session, and stocks are broadly in negative territory.The pan-European Stoxx 600 was last seen 0.8% lower, hitting its lowest level in more than three weeks.

France’s CAC 40 was last seen 1.2% lower, with London’s FTSE 100 down by 0.7%.— Chloe TaylorTrump says UK has tariffs protection ‘because I like them’ Kevin Lamarque | ReutersU.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer react after picking up the trade agreement with the U.K. papers that Trump dropped as they speak to the media during the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada,June 16, 2025.In case you missed it, the U.S. and Britain signed an agreement on the sidelines of the G7 summit on Monday, lowering some tariffs on British exports to the United States while the two nations eye a trade deal.Last month, the U.K. became the first country to agree a trade deal with Washington since U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled his full list of so-called reciprocal tariffs.The deal signed on Monday reaffirmed preferential tariff rates on British autos and removed tariffs on the U.K.’s aerospace sector. Trump said on Monday that a tariff rate specifically for British steel and aluminum would be established “at a future time.”Steel and aluminum imported from the U.K. is currently subject to 25% tariffs, half the 50% rate imposed on the rest of the world.Speaking to reporters after the deal was signed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said “we signed it and it’s done” before touting the transatlantic relationship as “fantastic.”“It’s a great deal for both, it’s going to produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income.”“The U.K. is very well protected, you know why? Because I like them, that’s why,” Trump added.— Chloe TaylorGold outshines Treasurys, yen and Swiss franc as the ultimate safe havenGold has claimed the safe haven crown. With spot prices surging 30% so far in 2025, bullion’s gains are outpacing that of other traditional safe havens such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and U.S. Treasurys — compelling investors to rethink what true safety looks like in the face of fiscal sustainability concerns and looming wars.Read more here. — Lee Ying ShanGood morning, here are the opening callsYui Mok – Pa Images | Pa Images | Getty ImagesA view of the London skyline during sunrise looking east, including Canary Wharf, from Horizon 22, London’s highest free viewing platform.

Illegal Alien Economy: How Foreign Nations Exploit US Borders For Profit

Illegal Alien Economy: How Foreign Nations Exploit US Borders For Profit Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,Well, the tensions over mass illegal immigration in the US are finally coming to a boil after 4 years of open borders under the Biden Administration and six months of obstruction by Democrat politicians and judges interfering with deportations.The progressive establishment position on illegals is clear: Make it as easy as possible for anyone to enter the country and make it as difficult as possible to kick them out.I published a comprehensive overview on the riots in California last week, but I also want to examine how we got here in the first place and why many foreign governments are so intrusive when it comes to US immigration policies.Think about it for a moment and ask yourself: Why is the rest of the world in our business? Why do they care if we have tighter controls on borders and stricter vetting for immigration? Why don’t foreign governments also complain about Chinese immigration standards, or Saudi Arabia’s standards, or even Australia’s standards? Why does everyone else think they have a say in how America handles immigration?There are, of course, ideological agendas at play here, but I believe the primary reason for foreign meddling is economic, specifically when it comes to Central America and South America.I’ve covered these issues briefly in the past but I think it bears repeating that the US is widely considered a kind of global buffet or a wounded gazelle – The entire jungle shows up to take a bite. We’re the cash cow of the planet ready to be milked. The exposure of organizations like USAID proved beyond a doubt that Americans pay for the ENTIRE WORLD. Not only that, but we get to pay for the inflation that is created for every dollar printed and circulated to fill the pockets of foreign interests.This is the enduring curse attached to any country “lucky” enough to maintain world reserve currency status. When the Bretton Woods agreement was put in place after World War II there was an unspoken but clear trade-off, a devil’s bargain attached to the dollar’s ascension.First, Americans were going to have to pay the vast majority of defense spending in the new international order (which would ultimately become NATO). Second, America was gifted the ability to print dollars with wild abandon while mitigating hyperinflation by exporting dollars overseas to foreign banks and corporations. However, the expectation was that the US would have to spread the fiat wealth and feed the coffers of other countries through various subsidies, foreign aid and perhaps even open immigration.The question is, how does mass immigration play into this arrangement?The Economic And Social Steam ValveUsing Mexico as an example, we can see some obvious economic advantages for foreign governments if US immigration policies remain unenforced. Mexico has enjoyed an exceedingly low unemployment rate for several years, not just because untold numbers of US manufacturing jobs have been outsourced to the south, but because Mexico has the option of encouraging poverty stricken citizens who can’t get jobs to sneak into the US.This serves a couple of purposes – It allows Mexico to maintain low unemployment stats. It saves them loads of cash when it comes to social welfare programs (they can send their poor to the US where American taxpayers foot the welfare bill). And, in terms of crime and civil unrest, Mexico is able to relocate their own discontented rabble over the border and let the US deal with those people instead.The same goes for most of Central and South America. The benefits are just too numerous to ignore. The more open the US border is, the more every third world country near us has to gain.Immigration ExtortionMost readers might not remember, but under the Biden Administration there was a concerted effort to spin the immigration crisis as a problem of financial instability and humanitarian response. Kamala Harris, the supposed “border czar”, spent years avoiding a visit to the southern border to witness the migrant surge first hand. Instead, she claimed that her energies were better spent on trips to other countries where she could “solve the problem at the source”.This meant that the Biden Administration would not close the border, but they would pay off foreign governments with billions of dollars in subsidies that would theoretically trickle down to third world populations and keep them at home. These payoffs were also designed to make South American and Central American politicians stop encouraging their people to enter the US illegally.Of course, Democrats didn’t really want the migrant caravans to stop, but this was a way for them to pretend as if they were taking action. Meanwhile, foreign leaders were licking their chops; the more migrant mobs tried to force their way across the US border, the more subsidies they could extort from the progressive controlled US government. The incentives for them to continue sending migrant trains north were overwhelming.The Golden River Of RemittancesWhile scrolling through Mexican news sources I came across the story that inspired this article: Last week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seemingly threatened the US over a proposed tax on “remittances”. If you are not familiar with remittances, they are basically any monies earned (or stolen) within the US by non-citizens and transferred to their home countries.I have related my own experiences with this issue in past articles – As a construction worker and contractor in Florida in my early 20s I witnessed extensive hiring of illegals who were paid around 30% less than American workers. Most of those guys would end up at the local Winn-Dixie supermarket every payday to cash their checks and wire money to Mexico through Western Union. There would be a long line of them around the front of the store, all of them sending money outside the US.Now imagine this is happening in every town in the US with illegals, and you’ll start to understand the sheer scale of remittances. The tax on remittances that is currently under review is only around 3%, but some law makers want to the tax closer to 15% or more. In response Sheinbaum has turned hostile, arguing that Mexicans would “mobilize” in reaction to any fees.“If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the US to Mexico...”The socialist president did not specify what she meant by “mobilize”, but many commentators assert that this is a threat to mobilize unrest among migrants already within US borders. As we have seen in Los Angeles in the past few days, the threat is not idle. It seems like madness, until we look at how much US cash is actually transferred outside the US by migrants.Mexico alone received at least $65 billion in remittances from the US last year. In other words, the Mexican economy enjoys a yearly boost of around $65 billion just by encouraging illegals to cross the border. To put this in perspective, Mexico’s entire social welfare budget each year is around $30 billion; less than half of what the country gets through remittances from the US. Mexico’s tourism industry generates around $32 billion annually; again, less than half of what remittances generate.Total foreign remittances to Mexico make up around 5% of their annual GDP and it is the largest single source of income from foreign sources.Also keep in mind that a dollar buys a lot more in Mexico than it does in the US. Want to buy a house in the US? The median price for a three bedroom home is $320,000. In Mexico, a three bedroom home goes for $100,000 (often less). This is yet another reason why illegals march across the border; even when working for 30% less wages they still earn triple the buying power or more in their own country by wiring dollars back home.Sheinbaum understands full well that her country is highly dependent on the underground cash flows from the US through illegal workers. The same goes for numerous Central and South American countries. The expectation attached to the current financial order is that Americans get the world reserve currency, but Americans must foot the bill for nearly every other allied nation. This dynamic is changing and the parasitic feeder nations don’t like it. They’ve become so dependent on easy cash from the US they don’t know how to function any other way.Panic is certain. The economics of illegal immigration are ugly. Some progressives will argue that open borders are “good for America” because remittances and cash outflows help reduce inflation. Obviously that’s not the case, otherwise inflation would have been non-existent under the Biden Administration with its unprecedented migrant invasion.Not only that, but the mere presence of millions of illegals creates a massive demand spike in goods, services and housing which drives up prices. Add to this the billions of dollars spent every year on subsides for migrants collecting welfare (around 60% of all migrants collect from one or more welfare programs upon entering the US), and you have am undeniable inflationary burden that does not need to be here.Foreign governments want illegals here because they are yet another tool for bleeding the US for extra funds. They believe they are entitled to this money, but this methodology is about to change. They simply aren’t ready for what is about to happen.* * *As central banks continue unprecedented money creation, protecting your purchasing power becomes critical for retirement security.

90% of women investors say they're ‘on track' to achieve money goals — but most share a common regret, survey finds

Women who invest began when they’re 31 years old, on average, according to a survey by Charles Schwab, an investment and financial services firm. A majority of those surveyed, 85%, said they wish they had started investing earlier, Schwab said. The sooner you start, the more you’ll reap the benefits from compounding, experts said.Women who invest began at an average age of 31, but most wish they had started putting money in the market earlier, a recent survey said.Nearly all — 90% — of the women investors surveyed said they’re “on the right track” to achieve their financial goals, according to the survey, by Charles Schwab, an investment and financial services firm.However, 85% share a common regret — they said they wish they had started investing at an earlier age, the survey said.When the age is broken down by generation, Schwab found that millennials began investing at age 27, on average, Gen Xers’ average starting age was 31, and baby boomers started at an average age of 36. Here’s a look at other stories affecting the financial advisor business. 3 key money moves to consider while the Fed keeps interest rates higherThe average 401(k) savings rate hit a record high. See if you’re on trackAmericans believe real estate, gold are the best long-term investmentsSchwab polled 1,200 women in the U.S. ages 21 to 75 in January. The report said they each had at least $5,000 in investable assets, not including retirement accounts or real estate, and were all primary or joint household financial decision-makers.Some of the top reasons respondents said they began investing later in life than they would have liked were a lack of financial knowledge, 54%, and limited funds to invest, 53%, according to Schwab’s report.There’s an advantage in getting started with investing as soon as you can, even if you don’t have much to contribute at first: You’ll benefit from time in the market, according to Carolyn McClanahan, a certified financial planner and founder of Life Planning Partners in Jacksonville, Florida.“Start saving while you’re young because you have lots of years for your money to grow,” said McClanahan, a member of CNBC’s Financial Advisor Council. ‘It’s a get-rich-slowly scheme’An early start to investing harnesses the power of compounding.Compound interest means your money earns interest on both the original amount you invest and on the interest you’ve already earned, said Jeannie Bidner, a managing director and head of the branch network at Charles Schwab. Compound returns are broader, and typically include other types of investment gains, such as dividends and capital gains. Compounding creates a “snowball effect” for your cash, she said. “The sooner you get started, the better.”Let’s say a person begins at age 25 investing $6,000 per year, with an average 7% annual return. By the time they’re 67 years old, the account balance would be almost $1.5 million, according to Fidelity Investments. If that individual delays starting to invest until age 30, they would end up with just over $1 million by retirement.In other words, that five-year head start offers a bonus of nearly half a million dollars.It’s not just about getting a head start. Staying invested through major market swings and sticking to your plan are essential to meeting your financial goals.More than half, or 58%, of the women in the survey said they learned to stay invested despite the ups and downs of the market, Schwab found, and 42% said they learned to create a plan and stick to it.While market volatility can “feel like you’re at a casino,” it’s important to disregard the major swings and focus on your long-term outlook, Katie Gatti Tassin, author of “Rich Girl Nation: Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures,” said at an event Wednesday at 92NY, a cultural and community center in New York.“It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, it’s a get-rich-slowly scheme,” Gatti Tassin said.

CNBC Daily Open: Iran's desire for a ceasefire lifts U.S. markets, but could be one-sided

U.S. stocks rose Monday on news that Iran is reportedly seeking a ceasefire with Israel. G7 leaders issued a joint statement Tuesday affirming Israel’s right to defend itself. The Bank of Japan will slow reductions to its purchase of government bonds from April 2026 to March 2027. OpenAI has been awarded a $200 million one-year contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools. The Trump Organization on Monday announced a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone set to launch in September. One strategist explained what it would take for markets to feel the effects of the hostilities in the Middle East.The U.S. stock market rose amid news that Iran wants a ceasefire with Israel. As early as the first days of Israel’s strikes, Tehran asked several countries to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to call on Israel for an immediate ceasefire, NBC News reported, citing a Middle East diplomat with knowledge of the situation.When asked at a news briefing Monday about the prospect of a ceasefire, however, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated he was not interested in one, according to NBC News. Netanyahu said Israel is “not backing down” from eliminating Iran’s nuclear program.Regardless of how negotiations — or the lack thereof — play out, it’s clear that countries are placing renewed emphasis on defense. The U.S. Defense Department is turning to artificial intelligence to bolster its forces, announcing on Monday a one-year contract with OpenAI “to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains.” Amid the Monday developments regarding armed conflict and defense considerations, the Trump Organization announced a mobile phone plan called Trump Mobile and a smartphone, clad in gold and emblazoned with an American flag, dubbed “T1.” Putting aside iffy ethical issues about the sitting U.S. president lending his name to consumer products, their unveiling seemed ill-timed and tone deaf. Perhaps the reception over Trump Mobile was spotty.What you need to know todayMarkets in America riseU.S. stocks rose Monday on news that Iran is reportedly seeking a ceasefire with Israel. The S&P 500 was up 0.94%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.75% and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.52%. Asia-Pacific markets were mixed in choppy trading Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.53% at 2:30 p.m. local time on developments regarding the country’s monetary policy.G7 leaders blame Iran for ‘terror’“We reiterate our support for the security of Israel,” Group of Seven leaders said in a joint statement Tuesday, as Tel Aviv trades military strikes with Tehran for the fourth consecutive day. The group condemned Iran for being the “principal source of regional instability and terror,” reiterating that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. Trump will be leaving the summit a day earlier because of the Middle East conflict, the White House said Monday.BOJ to slow bond purchase cuts in 2026At its monetary policy meeting on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan reiterated it would continue reducing its monthly purchases of Japanese government bonds until March 2026, and subsequently slow down the cuts. The BOJ kept its benchmark rate unchanged at 0.5%, as expected by a Reuters poll of economists. In other Japan news, CNBC’s Lim Hui Jie explores why the country, famous for its pacifist Constitution, is doubling down on arms exports.OpenAI wins contract from Defense DepartmentOpenAI has been awarded a $200 million one-year contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools, the latter announced Monday. It’s the first contract with OpenAI listed on the Department of Defense’s website. In December, OpenAI said it would collaborate with defense technology startup Anduril to deploy advanced AI systems for “national security missions.”Trump Organization enters telecommunicationsThe Trump Organization, a company owned by the current U.S. President, on Monday announced a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone set to launch in September. The company’s new foray into telecommunications mainly comprises a licensing agreement. On Friday, the president reported that he had made more than $8 million in 2024 from various licensing agreements.[PRO] What would it take for markets to react?Equity and energy markets appeared to shake off concerns of a wider conflict in the Middle East on Monday, reversing some of the moves from late last week. Such a response to geopolitical conflict is not unusual, according to one strategist, who explained what it would take for markets to feel the effects of the hostilities.And finally...Sven Hoppe | Picture Alliance | Getty Images“Gold’s key advantage is that it is no one else’s liability,” said Nikos Kavalis, managing director at Metals Focus.Gold outshines Treasurys, yen and Swiss franc as the ultimate safe havenGold has claimed the safe haven crown. With spot prices surging 30% so far in 2025, bullion’s gains are outpacing that of other traditional safe havens such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and U.S. Treasurys — compelling investors to rethink what true safety looks like in the face of fiscal sustainability concerns and looming wars.At the heart of gold’s appeal is its freedom from government liabilities, market experts gathered at the annual Asia Pacific Precious Metals Conference told CNBC on Monday.“Gold’s key advantage is that it is no one else’s liability,” said Nikos Kavalis, managing director at Metals Focus. “When an investor owns Treasurys, other sovereign bonds and even currencies, they are ultimately buying into the respective economy,” he said.

Shipping groups are starting to shy away from the Strait of Hormuz as Israel-Iran conflict rages on

U.S. stocks rose Monday on news that Iran is reportedly seeking a ceasefire with Israel. G7 leaders issued a joint statement Tuesday affirming Israel’s right to defend itself. The Bank of Japan will slow reductions to its purchase of government bonds from April 2026 to March 2027. OpenAI has been awarded a $200 million one-year contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools. The Trump Organization on Monday announced a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone set to launch in September. One strategist explained what it would take for markets to feel the effects of the hostilities in the Middle East.The U.S. stock market rose amid news that Iran wants a ceasefire with Israel. As early as the first days of Israel’s strikes, Tehran asked several countries to persuade U.S. President Donald Trump to call on Israel for an immediate ceasefire, NBC News reported, citing a Middle East diplomat with knowledge of the situation.When asked at a news briefing Monday about the prospect of a ceasefire, however, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated he was not interested in one, according to NBC News. Netanyahu said Israel is “not backing down” from eliminating Iran’s nuclear program.Regardless of how negotiations — or the lack thereof — play out, it’s clear that countries are placing renewed emphasis on defense. The U.S. Defense Department is turning to artificial intelligence to bolster its forces, announcing on Monday a one-year contract with OpenAI “to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains.” Amid the Monday developments regarding armed conflict and defense considerations, the Trump Organization announced a mobile phone plan called Trump Mobile and a smartphone, clad in gold and emblazoned with an American flag, dubbed “T1.” Putting aside iffy ethical issues about the sitting U.S. president lending his name to consumer products, their unveiling seemed ill-timed and tone deaf. Perhaps the reception over Trump Mobile was spotty.What you need to know todayMarkets in America riseU.S. stocks rose Monday on news that Iran is reportedly seeking a ceasefire with Israel. The S&P 500 was up 0.94%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.75% and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.52%. Asia-Pacific markets were mixed in choppy trading Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.53% at 2:30 p.m. local time on developments regarding the country’s monetary policy.G7 leaders blame Iran for ‘terror’“We reiterate our support for the security of Israel,” Group of Seven leaders said in a joint statement Tuesday, as Tel Aviv trades military strikes with Tehran for the fourth consecutive day. The group condemned Iran for being the “principal source of regional instability and terror,” reiterating that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. Trump will be leaving the summit a day earlier because of the Middle East conflict, the White House said Monday.BOJ to slow bond purchase cuts in 2026At its monetary policy meeting on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan reiterated it would continue reducing its monthly purchases of Japanese government bonds until March 2026, and subsequently slow down the cuts. The BOJ kept its benchmark rate unchanged at 0.5%, as expected by a Reuters poll of economists. In other Japan news, CNBC’s Lim Hui Jie explores why the country, famous for its pacifist Constitution, is doubling down on arms exports.OpenAI wins contract from Defense DepartmentOpenAI has been awarded a $200 million one-year contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department with artificial intelligence tools, the latter announced Monday. It’s the first contract with OpenAI listed on the Department of Defense’s website. In December, OpenAI said it would collaborate with defense technology startup Anduril to deploy advanced AI systems for “national security missions.”Trump Organization enters telecommunicationsThe Trump Organization, a company owned by the current U.S. President, on Monday announced a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone set to launch in September. The company’s new foray into telecommunications mainly comprises a licensing agreement. On Friday, the president reported that he had made more than $8 million in 2024 from various licensing agreements.[PRO] What would it take for markets to react?Equity and energy markets appeared to shake off concerns of a wider conflict in the Middle East on Monday, reversing some of the moves from late last week. Such a response to geopolitical conflict is not unusual, according to one strategist, who explained what it would take for markets to feel the effects of the hostilities.And finally...Sven Hoppe | Picture Alliance | Getty Images“Gold’s key advantage is that it is no one else’s liability,” said Nikos Kavalis, managing director at Metals Focus.Gold outshines Treasurys, yen and Swiss franc as the ultimate safe havenGold has claimed the safe haven crown. With spot prices surging 30% so far in 2025, bullion’s gains are outpacing that of other traditional safe havens such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and U.S. Treasurys — compelling investors to rethink what true safety looks like in the face of fiscal sustainability concerns and looming wars.At the heart of gold’s appeal is its freedom from government liabilities, market experts gathered at the annual Asia Pacific Precious Metals Conference told CNBC on Monday.“Gold’s key advantage is that it is no one else’s liability,” said Nikos Kavalis, managing director at Metals Focus. “When an investor owns Treasurys, other sovereign bonds and even currencies, they are ultimately buying into the respective economy,” he said.

Capri Sun fans who can easily down multiple pouches at a time are in for a summery treat.June 20 marks the summer solstice, the longest, sunniest day of the year and to celebrate, Capri Sun is offering a very, very long version of its signature product.Introducing the limited-edition Solstice Pouch, a “part nostalgic, part unserious” 15-inch pouch that holds 20 ounces of juice, which is more than triple a regular pouch, which typically contains 6 fluid ounces.Capri Sun says the distinctive drink comes with an extra-long yellow straw and a 64 ounce jug of Capri Sun Fruit Punch flavor to keep on drinking long after the sun sets. The pouches cost $1.50, which is a nod to the solstice’s 15 hours of sunlight.On June 16, a select number of Solstice Pouches dropped exclusively on Walmart.com, and according to fans online, sold out in minutes. Don’t worry, though: there’s a second drop happening June 17 for folks who missed out on the first one.Jokes also flowed on social media about the mammoth beverage bag:“It’s a juice box and a flotation device at the same time,” wrote one Instagram commenter.“Caprisun da loooonnnng wayyy!” joked another user, quoting a popular viral meme about making a very long sandwich.“Caprigalaxy,” joked another.In other seasonal equinox news, TODAY 3rd Hour co-hosts Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer will be traveling to Anchorage, Alaska for the summer solstice. The trio will experience almost 24 hours of daylight in the northernmost state, which happens due to the Earth’s tilt on its axis.“We’re gonna be raving,” Al said during the announcement on May 27. “It’s always sunny in Anchorage.”Maybe Al, Craig and Dylan should take a couple of Capri Suns with them to keep their energy up.This article originally appeared on TODAY.com.
