1. U.S. judge orders farmworker visa changes redone
-- A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to redo changes to the farmworker visa program, Reuters reported Thursday.
-- The ruling prolongs policy uncertainty for farms that depend on seasonal foreign labor, with potential effects on hiring costs and food supply chains.
2. Canada cancels C$1.1 billion in planned U.S. seafood tariffs
-- Canada dropped planned tariffs on about C$1.1 billion ($794 million) of American fish and seafood, providing relief to exporters in Maine and Alaska, Bloomberg reported.
-- Removing the levy protects cross-border supply chains and margins in two export-dependent states while broader U.S.-Canada trade tensions persist.
3. Venezuela advances U.S.-backed Supreme Court overhaul
-- Venezuela's National Assembly advanced a plan to restart the selection of Supreme Court justices as part of U.S.-backed political talks, according to Bloomberg.
-- Reconstituting the court would test whether negotiations can produce institutional change and improve legal certainty for foreign capital considering Venezuela.
4. Zambia arrests opposition leader on treason accusation
-- Zambian police arrested opposition leader Brian Mundubile on suspicion of treason after he sought refuge following the country's disputed election, the Associated Press reported.
-- The prosecution increases political and legal risk in one of Africa's major copper producers, potentially complicating investment and mine operations.
5. Core Scientific secures $600 million in credit facilities
-- Core Scientific obtained $600 million in credit facilities intended to release restricted cash, Blockspace Media reported Thursday.
-- Greater liquidity gives the Bitcoin miner more flexibility to fund infrastructure or refinance obligations as mining economics remain sensitive to power costs and bitcoin's price.
