Google sues LATAM Airlines in US over Brazilian YouTube video dispute
Alphabet's Google sued Chile-based LATAM Airlines in U.S. federal court in San Jose, California on Thursday, seeking a declaration that Brazilian courts cannot force the tech giant to take down a YouTube video in the United States that accused a LATAM employee of sexually abusing a child. Google in the lawsuit said that LATAM was attempting to "make an end-run" around protections for free speech under the U.S. Constitution by suing in Brazil to force the video's removal worldwide. Spokespeople for LATAM did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Google's allegations. Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said in a statement that the company has "long supported the legal principle that courts in a country have jurisdiction over content available in that country, but not over what content should be available in other countries." Right-wing social media companies Trump Media and Rumble filed a similar lawsuit in Florida in February against a Brazilian judge who had ordered them to remove the U.S.-based accounts of a leading supporter of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. A federal judge decided in the case that the companies were not required to comply with the order in the United States. According to Google's lawsuit, U.S. citizen and Florida resident Raymond Moreira posted two YouTube videos in 2018 of his 6-year-old son outlining allegations of sexual abuse that the child said he experienced from a LATAM employee while traveling as an unaccompanied minor. Moreira sued LATAM in Florida in 2020 over the alleged abuse, which led to a confidential settlement. LATAM sued Google in Brazil in 2018 seeking an order to remove the video from YouTube, which Google owns. Brazil's highest court is set to consider next week whether it has the authority to order Google to take down the video worldwide. Google asked the court in California on Thursday to declare that LATAM cannot force the tech giant to remove the video in the United States. Canada's Supreme Court upheld an order for Google to remove some search results worldwide in a separate case in 2018. A California judge halted that order's U.S. enforcement in 2017.

Trump says US has a "golden share" in US Steel
WASHINGTON :U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said the United States has a "golden share" in U.S. Steel, as part of a deal for Nippon Steel to buy the iconic American company. It was not immediately clear what structural element of the deal Trump was referring to, but he said the share meant that Americans would have a 51 per cent ownership in the American steelmaker. "We have a golden share, which I control, the President controls," he told reporters at the White House. "If that gives you total control, it's 51 per cent ownership by Americans," he added. Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel did not immediately respond to requests for comment. At a rally in Pennsylvania on May 30, Trump lauded an agreement between the companies and said Nippon Steel would make a "great partner" for U.S. Steel. But he later told reporters the deal still lacked his final approval, leaving unresolved whether he would allow Nippon Steel to take ownership.

Micron boosts US investment plan by $30 billion amid Trump's onshoring push
WASHINGTON :Memory chip maker Micron Technology said on Thursday it is expanding its U.S. investments by $30 billion as President Donald Trump presses companies to boost U.S. investments and threatens new tariffs on semiconductors. Micron now says its planned investments will total $200 billion. The company last year said it planned to invest around $100 billion in manufacturing in New York and $25 billion in Idaho. In December, the U.S. Commerce Department under former President Joe Biden finalized a nearly $6.2 billion government subsidy for Micron to produce semiconductors in New York and Idaho, one of the largest government awards to chip companies under the $52.7 billion 2022 CHIPS and Science Act. Trump has repeatedly threatened to kill the CHIPS act. His administration is renegotiating some of Biden's grants to semiconductor firms, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said last week. AI chip leader and Micron customer Nvidia said in April it is planning to build AI servers worth as much as $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years with help from partners such as Taiwan's TSMC. Micron's additional investment will center around building a second leading-edge memory fab in Boise, Idaho, and expanding a manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia. "These investments are designed to allow Micron to meet expected market demand, maintain share and support Micron's goal of producing 40 per cent of its DRAM in the U.S," the company said, referring to a type of widely employed memory chip. DRAM chips are key components in personal computing, cars, industrial operations, wireless communications and artificial intelligence and Micron's High-Bandwidth Memory is critical for enabling new AI models, officials have said. The company will also dedicate about $50 billion to R&D, Micron said. "Micron's investment in advanced memory manufacturing and HBM capabilities in the U.S., with support from (the) Trump administration, is an important step forward for the AI ecosystem," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said. Micron also said it finalized a $275 million direct funding award under the CHIPS Act to expand its Manassas facility.
