Amid growing concerns over potential trade tensions, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) , along with other prominent American business leaders, are in China this week. Their visit coincides with the &#8216;China International Supply Chain Expo&#8217; and includes meetings with Chinese officials. This comes as the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency raises the specter of increased tariffs on Chinese goods.
What Happened: The&nbsp;second annual &#8216;China International Supply&nbsp;Chain Expo&#8217; commenced on Tuesday, marking Cook&#8217;s third visit to China this year. This is&nbsp;his first time attending the&nbsp;expo, underscoring the importance of&nbsp;the Chinese market for Apple&#8217;s operations. In&nbsp;a video interview with Chinese&nbsp;state media, Cook emphasized Apple&#8217;s dedication to China, stating,&nbsp;&#8220;We&#8217;re very committed to China,&nbsp;that&#8217;s the reason I have&nbsp;been here three times.&#8221;
Prior to the expo, Cook and other top executives met with Chinese Premier&nbsp;Li Qiang. The meeting, as reported by&nbsp;the American Chamber of Commerce&nbsp;in China, focused on enhancing economic and trade cooperation. Representatives from companies like Corning and Rio Tinto were also present.

The expo, organized by the China International Exhibition Center Group, emphasizes key supply chains, including advanced manufacturing and green technology. 
Why It Matters: The backdrop to this visit is the potential for heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China. President-elect Trump has announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">impose a 25% tariff </a>on products from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports. This move, intended to address issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking, could significantly impact global markets.
China, on the other hand, has expressed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41944793/china-pushes-for-win-win-as-u-s-tariff-threat-looms-what-it-means-for-global-markets">desire for cooperation</a> with the U.S., advocating for &#8220;mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.&#8221; However, a senior adviser from Beijing has warned that Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42058282/trumps-tariffs-could-have-severe-consequences-for-us-defense-sector-beijing-adviser-warns">could have severe consequences</a> for the U.S. economy, particularly affecting the defense sector reliant on affordable Chinese components.

Tim Cook Joins US Executives To Attend China Expo As Donald Trump Threatens Extra Tariffs On Sino Goods

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) executive Sendil Palani on Saturday termed the company&#8217;s direct-to-customer sales model as &#8220;an enormous challenge&#8221; hindered by laws of different states.
What Happened: &#8220;Tesla has been pursuing the direct-to-consumer model for two decades, and it has been an enormous challenge to pursue what we believe is the best model for customers,&#8221; Palani, Vice President of Finance at Tesla, said. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Tesla has been pursuing the direct-to-consumer model for two decades, and it has been an enormous challenge to pursue what we believe is the best model for customers. I spent a portion of this past week visiting our Northeast region, and was reminded about how these laws are…

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Palani was responding to comments from Rivian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) CEO RJ Scaringe. Scaringe <a href="https://insideevs.com/news/741992/rivian-ceo-dealer-model/">told</a> InsideEVs that the direct-to-customer sales model is faced with several hardships. 
&#8220;I think you essentially have, like, lots of dealers have paid for laws that make it really hard for us to interact directly with the consumer,&#8221; he said, remarking that it is &#8220;as close as you can get to corruption.&#8221;
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33417968/tesla-showroom-to-come-up-on-tribal-land-in-connecticut-to-skirt-state-ban-on-direct-sales">Certain states </a>such as Louisiana prohibit direct-to-customer sales in an attempt to protect dealers. The laws to sell to customers without dealers as middlemen differ across states and their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/01/15160476/tesla-and-michigan-reach-settlement-for-direct-delivery-to-customers">application, too, varies.</a> 
While Tesla&#8217;s local sales and delivery teams observe restrictions on sales activities and manage deliveries through a small number of licensed locations, company customers have to travel long distances to pick up vehicles, Palani said. 
&#8220;Sadly, this is common throughout much of the country, resulting in higher costs and a worse customer experience for the affected regions,&#8221; he added.

Kohl's Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

ArcelorMittal is today providing an update on its decarbonization plans in Europe.
The Company has previously announced the intention to invest in lower carbon emissions "hydrogen ready" DRI-EAF facilities to replace several blast furnaces across our European business, as a key strategic first step towards reducing emissions. In all cases, the host countries offered funding support for these projects, with the approval of the European Commission.
These projects were premised on a favourable combination of policy, technology and market developments that would facilitate decarbonization investment by helping offset the significantly higher capital and operating costs that this transition strategy would involve. This included being able to use natural gas until green hydrogen became competitive.
However European policy, energy and market environments have not moved in a favourable direction. Green hydrogen is evolving very slowly towards being a viable fuel source and natural gas based DRI production in Europe is not yet competitive as an interim solution. Furthermore, there are significant weaknesses in the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), trade protection measures need strengthening in response to increasing imports due to overcapacity in China, and there is limited willingness among customers to pay premiums for low-carbon emissions steel.
Before taking final investment decisions it is necessary to have full visibility on the policy environment that will ensure higher cost steelmaking can be competitive in Europe without a global carbon price. &nbsp;&nbsp; We expect several important developments in 2025, including the scheduled review of the CBAM, an anticipated review of the steel safeguards, and the publication of the Steel and Metals Action Plan. When complete, these initiatives will provide the parameters needed to shape the business case for decarbonization investments in Europe.
In the meantime, we are continuing with engineering work, as well as analysing a phased approach that would first start with constructing electric arc furnaces, which can also be fed with scrap steel to significantly reduce emissions. &nbsp;&nbsp; ArcelorMittal remains committed to decarbonizing and achieving net-zero by 2050. Activity undertaken in Europe to date includes:
<ul>
<li>In May we commenced construction on a 1.1 million tonne capacity EAF at our long products plant in Gijón, Spain. This will ultimately lead to a reduction of 1 million tonnes of CO2e a year.</li>
<li>Good progress is being made with our efforts to increase production to 1.6 million tonnes a year by 2026 at our flat products plant in Sestao, Spain, where we have two EAFs. Once complete, much of this production will be our XCarb&#xAE; recycled and renewably produced low-carbon emissions steel.</li>
<li>We continue to lead the market with sales of our XCarb&#xAE; low-carbon emissions steel, which have a carbon footprint of as low as 300kg per tonne of steel produced, and are on track to double sales to c. 400,000 tonnes this year. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The longer timeline required for final investment decisions will not impact the Company's ability to meet customer demand for low-carbon emissions steel as the Sestao revamp project will materially increase the Company's ability to produce low-carbon emissions flat products.
Any revision to the current 2030 intensity targets will be set out in the forthcoming Climate Action Report 3. From an absolute emissions perspective, the absolute emissions of the Company's operations in Europe have reduced by 28.2% since 2018, largely due to lower production due to weak demand. &nbsp;&nbsp; Longer term, the Company remains committed to all technologies that offer the potential to take steelmaking to near-zero. This includes carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), although like green hydrogen, this technology is likely to only make a meaningful difference after 2030. It already has one industrial scale CCU facility operational at its plant in Gent, Belgium, and a further two pilot projects underway in Gent.
Aditya Mittal, Chief Executive, ArcelorMittal, commented:
"ArcelorMittal remains absolutely committed to decarbonization. It is the right thing to do, both for the company and the planet. I remain confident that we can still achieve our net-zero by 2050 target, but the shape of how we will achieve this could differ from what was previously announced.
"We have been very grateful for the support offered to date by different governments to help accelerate this process. But the scale of the challenge requires further policy initiatives to unlock increased investment. We would have liked to move faster, but the reality is the regulatory environment required to support the business case for investments is not yet in place.
"I hope to see new policies coming into play that will support an accelerated transition. The Green Deal Industrial Plan and the Steel and Metals Action Plan, and the legislation flowing from them, will be important, as well as regulation to stimulate the demand signal. While we do have customers that want low-carbon steel, those that do and are willing to pay a premium are still very much in the minority. &nbsp;&nbsp; "I expect policy decisions taken in 2025 will help bring clarity on how we will move forward to decarbonize our assets, taking advantage of our unique global profile, superior technology and raw materials mix and industry leading innovation."

Elon Musk&#8216;s company, Neuralink, is set to initiate a new feasibility trial involving its innovative brain implant technology and a robotic arm. This trial aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of Neuralink&#8217;s wireless brain-computer interface and surgical robot.
What Happened: The study, named PRIME, will focus on patients with quadriplegia, enabling them to control external devices through thought, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Neuralink plans to enroll participants from its ongoing PRIME trial into this feasibility study, as mentioned in a post on social media platform X.
Recently, Neuralink received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42103314/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-green-light-to-launch-brain-chip-trial-in-canada-recruitment-is-now-open">approval from Health Canada</a> to conduct a trial of its device in Canada. Canadian neurosurgeons, in collaboration with Neuralink, have been authorized to recruit six patients with paralysis for the study. In the U.S., Neuralink has already implanted the device in two patients, allowing one to engage in activities such as playing video games and browsing the internet.

The company reports that the device is functioning well in the second patient, who is&nbsp;using it to play video&nbsp;games and learn 3D design. The U.S. FDA and Neuralink have not yet provided further&nbsp;details on the feasibility study.
Why It Matters: The potential of Neuralink&#8217;s brain chip technology to transform lives has been a topic of interest since Musk first introduced the concept. As reported in July, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/40016299/we-want-to-give-people-super-powers-elon-musk-envisions-neuralink-brain-chip-transforming-lives-like">envisioned the brain chip </a>offering superhuman abilities, akin to characters from science fiction like Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. The company, founded in 2016, aims to revolutionize the way humans interact with technology and address neurological disorders through brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). 
The initial human trials began earlier this year with Noland Arbaugh, a 30-year-old quadriplegic, who received the N1 Implant, allowing him to control a computer cursor with his thoughts.

Justin Sun, the founder of the TRON (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) blockchain, announced a $30 million investment in President-elect Donald Trump-backed cryptocurrency project&nbsp;World Liberty Financial&nbsp;(WLFI), lending support to the &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; movement.
What Happened: On Monday, Sun revealed on X that Tron became the largest investor in&nbsp;the decentralized finance (DeFi) project with the strategic expenditure. 
He said, &#8220;The U.S. is becoming the blockchain hub, and Bitcoin owes it to Donald Trump!  TRON is committed to making America great again and leading innovation. Let&#8217;s go!&#8221;
In response, the WLFI team said they were honored to have the support of Sun and the Tron ecosystem.

Sun&#8217;s $30 million investment catapulted total sales of the project&#8217;s governance token past $50 million, <a href="https://dune.com/fergmolina/world-liberty-financial" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according&nbsp;</a>to a Dune Analytics dashboard, although still a long way away from the ambitious $300 million target.
The project had a slow start, managing to raise just 4% of its token presale target within the first 48 hours of its launch.

The WLFI token would serve as the platform&#8217;s governance token, enabling users to engage in borrowing, lending, and other DeFi activities. However, its non-transferable, non-yielding nature may have turned off speculative traders, adding to the lackluster presale.
According to the World Liberty Gold&nbsp;Paper, WLFI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41395007/trump-affiliated-entity-will-get-75-of-world-liberty-financials-revenue-and-22-of-wlfi-tok">would allocate 75% of its protocol revenues</a> to a firm associated with the former President, DT Marks DEFI, LLC.
As for Sun, he remains one of the largest publicly known cryptocurrency investors, boasting a portfolio worth more than $1.8 billion, <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/justin-sun" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data </a>from Arkham Intelligence revealed.

Guidance
In the Group's Annual Report 2023, Cadeler provided guidance for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 indicating that full-year revenue was expected to fall within the range of EUR 225 million to EUR 245 million, while full-year EBITDA was expected to be between EUR 105 million and EUR 125 million. Cadeler has today increased its revenue guidance for the financial year 2024, as it now expects full-year revenue to fall within the range of EUR 243 million to EUR 253 million, principally due to clients calling more options under the Group's existing contracts than was previously assumed, higher vessel utilisation as a result of the Group having secured contracts for the provision of operations and maintenance services between installation projects, and the receipt of termination fees in respect of a vessel reservation agreement. In addition, Cadeler has revised and narrowed its EBITDA guidance within the upper end of the range it has previously communicated, as it now expects full-year EBITDA to range between EUR 115 million and 125 million.

If finalized, the loan would support the construction of Rivian's next facility in Stanton Springs North, near the city of Social Circle, Georgia, substantially expanding the company's domestic production capacity to support demand from the United States and international markets. This loan from DOE would provide significant funding for production of the company's midsize platform, which underpins the R2, a midsize SUV, and the R3/R3X, a midsize crossover. Designed, engineered, and built in America to deliver an incredible combination of capability, function, performance, and pricing, Rivian believes its R2 and R3 vehicle lines will be critical drivers in the company's long-term growth and profitability.
