Trump muddies waters for New Jersey int’l liquidity sharing

US President Donald Trump may have thrown a wrench into New Jersey’s plans to share online poker liquidity with gambling operators in European markets.

On Thursday, Trump’s tiny fingers signed yet more executive orders, including one titled Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States, that could have significant implications for a reciprocal data privacy deal with the European Union.

Section 14 of Trump’s order states that the nation’s intelligence agencies “shall, to the extent consistent with applicable law, ensure that their privacy policies exclude persons who are not United States citizens or lawful permanent residents from the protections of the Privacy Act regarding personally identifiable information.”

Trump’s order appears to conflict with the provisions of the EU-US Privacy Shield, a data protection deal that took effect last year. Much of the point of the deal was to ensure that US businesses could conduct cross-border transactions with EU firms while offering EU customers ‘essentially equivalent’ privacy protections in the US.
