Spain seeks to avert trade war after China announces pork anti-dumping probe
SANTANDER/MADRID (Reuters) -Leading EU pork exporter Spain on Monday said it was working with European Union officials to avoid damaging tariffs after Beijing said it would open an anti-dumping inquiry. China's investigation appears mainly targeted at Spain, the Netherlands, France and Denmark, the three biggest EU exporters of pork to China. Its announcement follows one from the European Commission last week that it would impose anti-subsidy duties on imported Chinese cars from July.

China targets Europe's farmers, and not its automakers, in response to EU tariffs on electric cars
The Chinese government is taking aim at European farmers instead of German automakers by launching an investigation into European Union pork imports, just days after the EU said it plans to impose provisional tariffs on China-made electric vehicles. The Commerce Ministry didn't mention the EV tariffs when it announced Monday that it is opening an anti-dumping investigation into pork from Europe, but the move is widely seen as a response to the EU move on electric cars.

China opens tit-for-tat anti-dumping probe into European pork
BEIJING (Reuters) -China has opened an anti-dumping investigation into imported pork and its by-products from the European Union, a step that appears mainly aimed at Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark, in response to curbs on its electric vehicle exports. The investigation announced by China's commerce ministry on Monday will focus on pork intended for human consumption, such as fresh, cold and frozen whole cuts, as well as pig intestines, bladders and stomachs. It was prompted by a complaint submitted by the China Animal Husbandry Association on June 6 on behalf of the domestic pork industry, the ministry said.

Tesla begins legal bid to OK Elon Musk's mega-pay
STORY: Tesla has begun the legal battle to get approval for Elon Musk’s $56 billion pay deal. Shareholders last week approved the package - a record sum in U.S. corporate history. But the firm still has to convince the court that first voided the payout. Delaware judge Kathaleen McCormick ruled that the process leading up to package had been controlled by Musk. She said Tesla also concealed from shareholders key details about the targets he had been required to hit. Now the EV maker says it has fixed those problems. Besides the vote, the pay deal was reviewed by a special committee of the board, and the firm has provided hundreds of pages of added information. Though the sum seems enormous, WealthWise Financial boss Noreen Gilbert says Musk should have been paid: “The pay package had actually been agreed upon years prior, based on metrics that Elon Musk had to make good on, and he had made good on all of those metrics. So the fact is he should have been paid that amount, he jumped through all the hoops to make that happen”. Tesla has now written to judge McCormick, asking that parties to the legal dispute over the pay now set out their takes on the shareholder approval. One shareholder who brought the case against the package has already said he thinks the vote has “no legal effect”.

Rival pork exporters could benefit from China-EU trade tensions
SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Pork suppliers from South America and the U.S. could gain market share in China if Beijing restricts imports from the European Union in response to escalating trade tensions, traders and analysts said. Russia, increasingly a close trading partner of China that started exporting pork to China in February, could also step up meat shipments. China's commerce ministry said on Monday it had opened an anti-dumping investigation into imported pork and its by-products from the EU, after the bloc imposed anti-subsidy duties on Chinese-made electric cars.

Musk plans stock option grants to Tesla's high-performers, sources say
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Tesla CEO Elon Musk told employees on Monday that the electric vehicle maker is working on stock-based compensation for high-performing employees, according to two people who reviewed an internal memo. The plan comes just days after Musk won shareholder approval for his $56 billion pay plan consisting of stock options and two months after he announced job cuts affecting more than 10% of Tesla's global workforce in the face of slowing demand for EVs and intensifying price competition from Chinese rivals. "Over the next few weeks, Tesla will be doing a comprehensive review to provide stock option grants for exceptional performance," Musk said in an email, according to the two people who reviewed it and are based in China and the U.S., respectively.

US says two universities fell short in addressing anti-Arab, antisemitic hate
The University of Michigan and the City University of New York have fallen short in addressing recent incidents of anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab and antisemitic nature, the U.S. Education Department said on Monday. The schools agreed to take some steps like re-opening some past complaints, reporting their results to the government, training personnel on how to respond to claims of discrimination and conducting more surveys to assess such discriminatory experiences, the Education Department said in a statement. These marked the first probes to be concluded among the several that were launched by the department since Oct. 7 after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel and Israel began its military assault on Hamas-governed Gaza.
