EU's Von der Leyen to Meet Trump in Bid to Clinch Trade Deal
(Bloomberg) -- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she will travel to Scotland this weekend to meet with US President Donald Trump, as the two sides aim to conclude a trade deal ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline when 30% tariffs on the bloc's exports are otherwise due to kick in. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy After months of talks and shuttle diplomacy between Brussels and Washington DC, the two sides have been zeroing in on an agreement this past week that would see the EU face 15% tariffs on most of its trade. Limited exemptions are expected for aviation, some medical devices and generic medicines, several spirits, and a specific set of manufacturing equipment that the US needs, Bloomberg previously reported. Steel and aluminum imports would likely benefit from a quota under the arrangements under discussion but above that threshold they would face a higher tariff of 50%. 'We'll see if we make a deal,' Trump said as he arrived in Scotland on Friday. 'Ursula will be here, highly respected woman. So we look forward to that.' Trump reiterated that he believed there was 'a 50-50 chance' of a deal with the EU, saying there were sticking points on 'maybe 20 different things' that he did not want to detail publicly. Trump gave similar odds in Washington before leaving, but also said the EU had a 'pretty good chance' of reaching an agreement. Trump announced tariffs on almost all US trading partners in April, declaring his intent to bring back domestic manufacturing, to pay for a massive tax-cut extension and to stop the rest of the world from taking advantage of the US. He has also sought to remove what he describes as barriers for American companies to do business around the world. Alongside a universal levy, the US president has hit cars and auto parts with a 25% levy, and steel and aluminum with double that. He's also threatened to target pharmaceuticals and semiconductors with new duties as early as next month, and recently announced a 50% tariff on copper. The EU has been seeking quotas and a ceiling on future sectoral tariffs that the US has yet to implement but it's unclear if an initial agreement will shield the bloc from potential future levies at this stage. The agreement would also cover non-tariff barriers, cooperation on economic security matters and strategic purchases by the EU in sectors such as energy and artificial intelligence. The terms of any initial deal, which is expected to take the form of a short joint statement, would need to be approved by member states, according to people familiar with the matter. The statement is seen as a stepping stone toward more detailed negotiations. Because of the ongoing uncertainty, the EU has in parallel put together countermeasures in the event of a no-deal scenario, which would see it quickly hit American exports with up to 30% tariffs on some €100 billion ($117 billion) worth of goods — including Boeing Co. aircraft, US-made cars and bourbon whiskey — in the event of no-deal and if Trump carries through with his threat to impose that rate on most of the bloc's exports after Aug. 1 or in future. The package also includes some export restrictions on scrap metals. In a no-deal scenario, the bloc is also prepared to move forward with its anti-coercion instrument, a potent trade tool that would eventually allow it to also target other areas such as market access, services and restrictions on public contracts, provided that there is a majority of member states backing its use.

Empire Petroleum Announces Extension of Previously Announced Rights Offering and Clarifies Unit Subscription Price
TULSA, Okla., July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Empire Petroleum Corporation (NYSE American: EP) ("Empire" or the "Company"), an oil and gas company with current producing assets in New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Texas, and Louisiana, announced today that it has extended the expiration date and clarifies the unit subscription price of its previously announced subscription rights offering ("Rights Offering") pursuant to which it intends to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $5.0 million, including $2.5 million from the exercise of the warrants issued as part of the Rights Offering. The Company is distributing at no charge to holders of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), as of the close of business on July 10, 2025 (the record date for the Rights Offering), one subscription right for each share of Common Stock held. Each subscription right entitles the holder to purchase one unit at a subscription price of $0.07367 per unit, each unit consisting of 0.0139 shares of Common Stock and one warrant exercisable for 0.0136 shares of Common Stock at $5.46 per whole share. As a result, a stockholder must hold at least 72 shares of Common Stock to receive subscription rights to purchase at least one whole share at $5.30 per share, as well as at least 74 shares of Common Stock to receive warrants to purchase one whole share at $5.46 per share. The subscription rights and warrants are non-transferable, and will not be listed for trading on any stock exchange or market. In addition, holders of subscription rights who fully exercise their subscription rights are entitled to over-subscribe for additional units, subject to proration. For example, if you owned 100 shares of our Common Stock on the record date, you would be granted subscription rights to purchase an aggregate of 1.39 shares of Common Stock and warrants exercisable for 1.36 shares of Common Stock at the subscription price. If you are entitled to receive a fraction of a share, we will round down the number of shares to which you are entitled to purchase to the nearest whole number. As such, for the above example, you would receive 1 share of Common Stock and 1 warrant due to rounding. The Rights Offering is now expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 18, 2025 ("Expiration Date"), subject to extension or earlier termination. The Company has extended the expiration date in order to allow its stockholders to have more time to consider their participation and arrange finances for the Rights Offering. We had previously set the subscription price at $5.30 per unit, but adjusted the subscription price to $0.07367 per unit to more accurately reflect the intended terms of the offering. Phil E. Mulacek, Chairman of the Board of Empire and one of the Company's largest shareholders, has indicated that he intends to participate in the Rights Offering and fully subscribe to the units corresponding to his subscription rights. He has also indicated that he intends to fully exercise his over-subscription rights to purchase his pro rata share of the underlying securities related to the Rights Offering that remain unsubscribed at the Expiration Date. Holders of subscription rights who hold their shares directly have received a prospectus, a prospectus supplement, a letter from Empire describing the Rights Offering, and a subscription rights certificate. Empire will also be providing an additional prospectus supplement regarding the updated terms noted in this news release. Those holders who intend to exercise their subscription rights and over-subscription rights should review all of these materials, properly complete and execute the subscription rights certificates, and deliver the subscription rights certificates and full payment to Securities Transfer Corporation, the subscription agent for the Rights Offering, at the address set forth in the prospectus supplements referenced below. The Rights Offering is more fully described in the prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 10, 2025, as supplemented by the prospectus supplements filed with the SEC on July 24, 2025 and July 25, 2025. A copy of the prospectus, prospectus supplements or further information with respect to the Rights Offering may be obtained by contacting Securities Transfer Corporation, the subscription and information agent for the Rights Offering, at (469) 633-0101. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
