"No Longer Tolerate Radical Marxists": Rubio Sanctions Revolutionary Cuban Influence Network Tied To U.S. Left-Wing NGOs U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions late Thursday targeting the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP, a Castro-era organization used to spread Marxist ideology abroad. " For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained, and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond ," Rubio wrote on X. Rubio continued, " Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations ." He said that he is using President Trump's Cuba executive-order sanctions authority to put ICAP and others on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, or SDN list. Those Cuban entities include: Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR) Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) Amistur Cuba S.A. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) Minera La Victoria S.A. What does this mean: Freezes any U.S.-linked assets of those entities. Bars U.S. persons, companies, banks, nonprofits, and organizations from doing business with them, unless licensed by OFAC. Raises sanctions risk for foreign firms and banks that continue transacting with them, especially if the entities are tied to Cuba's military, intelligence, tourism, mining, or political-control apparatus. Rubio continued, "The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil 'revolution' to our country and around the world." For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting ...

Raizen SA reached an out-of-court restructuring agreement with the majority of its creditors, marking a key step in the Brazilian sugar-and-ethanol producer’s efforts to rework its debt, according to people familiar with the matter. The company has started formal procedures to submit the documents to Brazil’s court, the people said. The agreement restructures about 65 billion reais ($12.6 billion) of debt and has support from creditors holding around 75% of the obligations included in the plan, according to the people. The out-of-court restructuring, Brazil’s biggest ever, includes 19 financial institutions and 80 relevant bondholders. The company was able to reach an agreement with its creditors ahead of the court’s deadline, overcoming earlier resistance from some bondholders. The agreement converts 45% of debt into equity and the remaining 55% into new debt. It also calls for the business of sugarcane processing to be segregated from the fuel distribution unit by the end of 2027. The company expects creditor approval to surpass 80% by Monday, the people said. Raizen Chief Financial Officer Lorival Luz will also take on more responsibilities as chief restructuring officer, while the company’s current board will remain in place through the first quarter of next year. That leaves open whether Chairman Rubens Ometto will remain on the board, if he provides a 500 million-real capital injection. The company, a joint venture between Cosan SA and Shell Plc , filed for an out-of-court restructuring in March, a consequence of some failed bets in ethanol and aviation fuel, plus high interest rates and weaker-than-expected harvests. Since then, Raizen has been racing to win creditor support for its restructuring plan and avoid having to file for bankruptcy protection. The company was facing a legal deadline of June 8 to come up with a settlement.

Scotland face Haiti in Boston next Saturday Haiti beat New Zealand 4-0 in Florida friendly Napoli’s Billy Gilmour ruled out of World Cup Steve Clarke believes Haiti’s routing of New Zealand could be useful as a means of dispelling Scottish arrogance towards their first World Cup opponents. The 4-0 win for Haiti in Florida turned heads in Scotland, when a victory for Clarke’s team over the 82nd-ranked team in the world seen as essential for progression from a Group C that also includes Morocco and Brazil. Scotland take on Haiti in Boston next Saturday. “They were good the other night, I think you could see that,” said Clarke. “We have a terrible habit, not just in Scotland but the UK in general, of looking at these nations and thinking they are not very good or looking at where they are ranked in the world. They play in a different section of the world. Maybe their section is really good. Continue reading...
