China Pivots To Brazil, Squeezing U.S. Farmers As Trump Plans Relief Fund
President Trump announced plans last week to use tariff revenue as a financial cushion for struggling American farmers as China shuns U.S. agricultural goods. Beijing's pivot to Brazilian ag suppliers has left Midwest farmers in the nation's top ag belts fearing a spiral into financial hardship.
At the White House on Thursday, President Trump told reporters, "We're going to take some of that tariff money that we've made, we're going to give it to our farmers, who are - for a little while - going to be hurt until it kicks in, the tariffs kick in to their benefit."
Trump later told reporters that he has not decided on a final version of the plan and would consult with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on the matter.
China's abrupt pivot to Brazil, after decades of purchasing more than half of the U.S.'s soybeans annually, highlights elevated trade tensions this year as both superpowers atte...

LONDON, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diginex Limited (“Diginex”) (NASDAQ: DGNX), a leading provider of Sustainability RegTech solutions, today provided an update on its Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the Company and Nomas Global Investments LLC S.P.C, a solely owned SPV of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi's Royal Family (“Nomas”), dated 17 March 2025. The intention of the MOU was to secure a dual-listing of Diginex's securities on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (“ADX”), to expand Diginex's business in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and a potential capital raise for Diginex of up to USD$250 million focused on large institutional investors based in the GCC.

No Panama Port Deal For CK Hutchison And BlackRock This Year
The $19 billion sale of CK Hutchison's 43 global ports, including two strategically vital ports on the Panama Canal (Balboa and Cristóbal terminals), to a BlackRock-led consortium is far from completion, mired in the crossfire of US-China trade and geopolitical tensions.
CK Hutchison co-managing director Frank Sixt told Wall Street analysts during its interim earnings results earlier today that the deal's complexity means it likely won't be completed this year, especially after China demanded earlier this summer that its largest shipping company, Cosco, be included in the Western-investor deal.
"We are in a new stage of our deal and that includes, as we have said, discussions with a major strategic Chinese investor," Sixt said.
He continued, "I believe that there is a reasonable chance that those discussions will lead to a deal that is good for all of the parties, ourselves included, and most importantly,...

China Seizes Opportunity To Praise 'Beloved Brazilian Coffee' While Blasting Trump's 'Bullying' Tariffs
China has quickly stepped up to defend Brazil after President Trump slapped the largest South American economy with 50% tariffs on many goods, which took effect Wednesday.
China is now looking to benefit by expanding access to its market for Brazilian coffee, which one of the products hit hardest by the new trade restrictions, given the US has long ranked as the world's largest coffee importer.
To underscore it is seizing on this new opportunity, China's embassy in Brasília shared a video on X that featured major food delivery company Meituan. "And the exchange goes both ways: Brazil is also strengthening its footprint in China with its popular coffee," the post stated.
China has this week granted export authorization to 183 additional Brazilian coffee companies, with five-year permits - something also announced by the embassy. The drink "is becoming part of everyday l...

Bolsonaro Placed Under House Arrest By US-Sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Head
Late Monday there's been more escalation in the Trump-Brazil standoff over the legal fate of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. The country's top justices have ordered him to be put under house arrest.
The Supreme Court, which is still in the process of ruling on the Bolsonaro case - as he's accused of an alleged coup attempt against his leftist rival President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva - has now said he has defied a court order banning Bolsonaro from social media.

They say he's attacking the nation's institutions while still on trial, and after he's already wearing a ankle monitoring brace.
Brazil has faced US sanctions (targeting among others Bolsonaro's main rival and man driving what Trump has called a "witch hunt" - Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes) as well as the highest tariff rates in the world.
