Argentina halts Brazil poultry imports after bird flu outbreak
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina's state sanitation agency Senasa on Friday ordered a suspension of imports of products and byproducts of avian origin from Brazil, the world's largest chicken exporter that hours earlier confirmed its first outbreak of bird flu on a commercial poultry farm.
"After the confirmation from Brazilian authorities, Senasa requested the productive sector strengthen biosecurity measures in its establishments," the agency said in a statement, adding the measures would be in place until Brazil is certified as free of the bird flu.

Petrobras downgraded at BofA amid downward pressure on oil prices
As previously reported, BofA analyst Caio Ribeiro downgraded Petrobras (PBR) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of R$34, down from R$42, to reflect a more challenging macro outlook and rising regulatory risks. Despite the prevailing low-price environment, OPEC+ appears committed to regaining lost market share by persistently increasing oil production, while macro uncertainties are expected to continue weighing on global economic growth, putting downward pressure on oil prices, the analyst tells investors. In addition, the Brazilian government is contemplating an 'oil package' initiative in order to boost public coffers and Petrobras could be negatively impacted if such measures are implemented, the analyst added.

Trump says Musk to face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democrats
By Nandita Bose BEDMINSTER, N.J. (Reuters) -Donald Trump said on Saturday there would be "serious consequences" if Elon Musk funds U.S. Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the president's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill and said his relationship with his billionaire donor is over. In a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump declined to say what those consequences would be, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk. Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, "I would assume so, yeah." "No," Trump told NBC when asked if he had any desire to repair his relationship with Musk. Musk and Trump began exchanging insults this week, as Musk denounced Trump's bill as a "disgusting abomination." Musk's opposition to the measure is complicating efforts to pass the bill in Congress, where Republicans hold a slim majority in the House of Representatives and Senate. The bill narrowly passed the House last month and is now before the Senate, where Trump's fellow Republicans are considering making changes. Nonpartisan analysts estimate the measure would add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. debt over 10 years. Trump said on Saturday he is confident the bill would get passed by the U.S. July 4 Independence Day holiday. "In fact, yeah, people that were, were going to vote for it are now enthusiastically going to vote for it, and we expect it to pass," Trump told NBC. Musk had deleted some social media posts critical of Trump, including one that signaled support for impeaching the president, appearing to seek a de-escalation of their public feud, which exploded on Thursday. Trump late on Friday suggested a review of federal government contracts held by Musk. People who have spoken to Musk said his anger has begun to recede and they think he will want to repair his relationship with Trump.
