Commerce Bancshares to buy Florida peer FineMark in $585 million deal
(Reuters) -U.S. regional bank Commerce Bancshares has agreed to acquire rival FineMark Holdings in an all-stock deal valued at $585 million, the companies said on Monday. Consolidation among U.S. banks is expected to heighten as rising technology and compliance costs push lenders to scale via mergers and acquisitions. A lighter regulatory touch under the Trump administration is also fueling prospects of bigger deals. Shareholders will receive 0.69 shares of Commerce for each share of FineMark they hold. As of the market close on Friday, the terms represent a 54.7% premium for FineMark shareholders, according to Reuters calculations. Founded in 2007, Florida-based FineMark offers wide-ranging banking and non-banking services to clients through 13 offices in Florida, Arizona and South Carolina. The bank had $4 billion in assets, as of March 31. The company's trust and investment business holds assets under administration of around $7.7 billion. "Together, with over $36 billion in assets and over $82 billion in wealth assets under administration, we are poised to accelerate growth, expand our reach, and deliver even greater value,," said John Kemper, CEO of Kansas City, Missouri-based Commerce Bancshares. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods acted as financial adviser to Commerce Bancshares, while Piper Sandler advised FineMark. The transaction is expected to close on January 1.

Trump Org launches mobile service for $47.45 a month
The Trump Organization announced Trump Mobile as its next venture on Monday, on the 10th anniversary of President Trump announcing his first bid for the White House. Why it matters: The announcement marks yet another expansion for the organization — run by the president's sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. — which made millions in real estate and luxury golf courses, but has pivoted to other avenues, including crypto and digital media. "One of the places where we felt there was lackluster performance was in the mobile industry," Donald Trump Jr. said from Trump Tower in New York City on Monday. State of play: Phones will be both built and remanufactured in the U.S., and the phone plan — which will cost $47.45 a month, a nod to Trump serving as the 45th and 47th U.S. president — will include unlimited data, texting and calls with over 100 countries. Trump Mobile will maintain a flat carrier fee and include a telemedicine partnership at no additional cost, with prescribing doctors available around the clock. It will also offer roadside assistance via Drive America. Customers can elect to use Trump Mobile SIM cards in their existing phones, though a new smartphone called the T1 is set for release in September and will cost $499. An image from the Trump Mobile website shows a gold-plated phone engraved with an American flag on the back. The website says the phones are made in the U.S. The call center will be based in St. Louis, Missouri, Eric Trump said. "It's about time we disrupt this space," he said. The intrigue: Trump Mobile "products and services are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by The Trump Organization," the website said. Our thought bubble, from Axios' Ben Berkowitz: Trump Mobile is entering a crowded space that just so happens to be regulated by the president's appointees. The T1 brand on its phone is owned by the Trump Organization, effectively putting the Trump family in a manner of competition with the likes of Apple and Samsung, both of which the president has threatened to tariff heavily. Zoom out: During his 2024 campaign, the now-president promoted the sales of Trump-branded Bibles, sneakers and cologne.

The Latest: Trump attends G7 summit amid his trade war with US allies
President Donald Trump has arrived for the G7, or Group of Seven, summit in Canada, a country he's suggested should be annexed, as he wages a trade war with America's longstanding allies. If there's a shared mission at this year's G7 summit, which begins Monday in the Rocky Mountains, it's a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions. Here's the latest: Sen. Kaine says he'll force a vote to give Congress more of a say over military force against Iran Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is filing a resolution that would require that Congress authorize a declaration of war or any specific use of military force against Iran. Congress passed a similar resolution in 2020 during Trump's first term. 'It is not in our national security interest to get into a war with Iran unless that war is absolutely necessary to defend the United States. I am deeply concerned that the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran could quickly pull the United States into another endless conflict,' Kaine said. The resolution requires that any hostilities with Iran must be explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force, but would not prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack. Who's attending the G7 summit? The Group of Seven comprises Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. Leaders of each nation will be in attendance. The European Union also attends, as well as other heads of state who are not part of the G7 but have been invited by Carney. These include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is expected to have her first in-person meeting with Trump, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, was invited but will not attend. ▶ Read more about the G7 summit ICE is using no-bid contracts, boosting big firms, to get more detention beds Leavenworth, Kansas , occupies a mythic space in American crime, its name alone evoking a short hand for serving hard time. The federal penitentiary housed gangsters Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly — in a building so storied that it inspired the term 'the big house.' Now Kansas' oldest city could soon be detaining far less famous people, migrants swept up in President Trump's promise of mass deportations of those living in the U.S. illegally. The federal government has signed a deal with the private prison firm CoreCivic Corp. to reopen a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth as part of a surge of contracts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued without seeking competitive bids. ICE has cited a 'compelling urgency' for thousands more detention beds, and its efforts have sent profit estimates soaring for politically connected private companies, including CoreCivic, based in the Nashville, Tennessee, area and another giant firm, The Geo Group Inc., headquartered in southern Florida. ▶ Read more about new immigration detention centers Trump's schedule Monday, according to the White House Trump is expected to have a busy schedule on the first day of the G7 conference. 9 a.m. — Trump participates in a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney 10 a.m. — Trump will attend the event's official welcome 10:30 a.m. — Session one 12:30 p.m. — Session two 2:45 p.m. — Session three 5:45 p.m. — Time for a group photo 6:15 p.m. — Session four 9 p.m. — Trump will attend a 'cultural event' Error!
