Brazil's Lula speaks with China's Xi on BRICS, bilateral opportunities
BRASILIA, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday, his office said, adding the two spoke for an hour during which they discussed bilateral business and the role of the BRICS group of states. "Both agreed on the role of the G20 and BRICS in defending multilateralism," the presidency said in a statement. "Both presidents also highlighted their willingness to continue identifying new business opportunities between the two economies." Lula said last week he would initiate a conversation about how to tackle Trump's tariffs with BRICS nations, after Trump dubbed the group "anti-American" and threatened them with additional tariffs.

Beyond Meat continues to experience a decline in sales and consumers
Beyond Meat reported significant financial difficulties in the second quarter of 2025, with a continued decline in sales and consumer numbers. The company's net revenues dropped by 19 percent to $75 million, alongside a net loss of $29.2 million and an operating loss of $34.9 million. CEO Ethan Brown expressed disappointment, citing ongoing softness in the plant-based meat category, particularly in US retail and international foodservice markets. Analysts attribute the decline to US consumers favoring cheaper animal products and increasing concerns about processed foods, which has reduced demand for Beyond Meat's products. In response, Beyond Meat is implementing cost-reduction measures, including laying off 44 employees in North America, expecting to save $5 million to $6 million in compensation expenses over the next year.
