The European Commission has banned the import of beef and poultry from Brazil due to significant violations of community health standards.

This decision follows the discovery of the use of antibiotics and growth-promoting substances in Brazilian livestock farms, which are banned in the EU. The ban is a response to a warning issued last May, after technical audits revealed that Brazilian authorities fail to ensure traceability and strict adherence to veterinary requirements.

This suspension has sparked criticism from the European primary sector, highlighting concerns about inadequate protection of the internal market against imports that do not meet the EU’s phytosanitary and animal welfare standards, thus punishing local product with higher production costs to meet the regulations and health guarantees, compared to the cheaper foreign imports.

Russia has struck major military, energy and transport targets across Ukraine, including an oil depot and a naval-drone assembly plant in the Kiev region.

The strikes also hit missile and UAV production facilities, rail infrastructure, power plants and substations, weapons warehouses, fuel depots, and port facilities in Odesa and Chornomorsk.

Yair Netanyahu (son of Benjamin Netanyahu) on the Falkland Islands:

The Malvinas Islands belong to Argentina!

Earlier, President Donald Trump said he would consider whether the US should continue to recognize British sovereignty over the islands.

🇪🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺 The Trump administration’s decision to include Russia in the G20 talks in Asheville, North Carolina, has caused tensions with European allies who wish to isolate Moscow due to its war in Ukraine.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov attended, despite opposition from European officials, leading to a controversy over the group photo.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Siluanov, emphasising that U.S. economic relief would only come after the war ends. This decision contrasts with the Biden administration’s stance, which excluded Russia from such forums. European officials, including German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, refused to pose with Siluanov, resulting in a group photo without the Russian delegation.
