Maduro fights US charges, citing sovereign immunity as head of state

Ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro asks a Manhattan federal judge to dismiss criminal drug-trafficking charges, arguing he enjoys sovereign immunity as head of state and cannot be prosecuted abroad. His lawyer, Barry Pollack, contends the court lacks jurisdiction and that the alleged acts would have been official duties, a challenge that tests long-standing international-law immunity. Maduro, who was abducted Jan 3 after a US raid in Caracas, remains in custody with a trial slated for June 1, 2027 if the motion fails; prosecutors have until Oct. 2 to respond, and a hearing is set for Nov. 17.

The court's decision provides a significant relief for Orsted, which has faced setbacks due to the U.S. administration's stance against offshore wind development.

Potential $200 Billion Refunds if Trump Loses Tariff Case

A federal appeals court ruled that Trump's tariffs imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal, potentially leading to over $200 billion in refunds to American businesses if upheld by the Supreme Court. The case's outcome could significantly impact government revenue, borrowing costs, and inflation, depending on whether tariffs are reversed and refunds issued.
