Argentex Group Plc suspended trading in its shares after the currency management firm faced a 'rapid and significant' cash squeeze in the wake of Donald Trump's tariff announcements.
The London-listed company said in a statement Tuesday it's taking steps to preserve cash and increase collateral from counterparties after it was hit by margin calls linked to its foreign exchange derivatives book this month.

Westinghouse pursues U.S. nuclear expansion after Trump orders, FT reports

Nuclear equipment supplier Westinghouse is in talks with U.S. officials and industry partners about deploying 10 large reactors, in response to presidential executive orders, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing the company's CEO. President Donald Trump's executive orders, which were published on May 23, directed the government to cut down on regulations and fast-track licences for reactors and power plants to shrink a multi-year process to 18 months. Dan Sumner, Westinghouse's interim chief executive, told the FT that the company was "uniquely positioned" to deliver the president's agenda because it had an approved reactor design, a viable supply chain, and recent experience of building two of its AP1000 reactors in Georgia. "There is active engagement with the administration, including key points of interface with the loan programs office, recognizing the importance of financing to the deployment of the model," he told the FT. Westinghouse did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside regular business hours.
