Trump Considers Weed- International News

 JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US President Trump says he is looking to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug

@TheMontegonian

President Trump has stated that his administration is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. He said he would make a determination on the legal classification of the drug in the next few weeks.

Key Points:

Reclassification Under Consideration: Trump said his administration is "looking at reclassification" of marijuana. This suggests a potential shift in federal policy.

Schedule I Drug: Currently, cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug at the federal level, alongside heroin, LSD, and ecstasy. Schedule I drugs are defined as having "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse".

Possible Move to Schedule III: Reclassifying marijuana could involve removing it from Schedule I and making it a Schedule III drug. This would make it easier to buy and sell cannabis and make the industry more profitable. Schedule III drugs are defined as those with a “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence”.

Biden Administration's Stance: The Biden administration had also considered reclassifying cannabis as a Schedule III drug but did not enact the change before leaving office.

Trump's Comments: Trump acknowledged the complexity of the issue, noting he's heard "great things" about medical-use cannabis but also "bad things about just about everything else" related to the drug. He also expressed concern about the potential negative effects on children.

Impact on Cannabis Stocks: Stocks in cannabis-related businesses increased following Trump's remarks.

Divergent Views: While Trump has expressed openness to reclassification, some of his allies remain opposed to easing marijuana laws.

Trump's consideration of reclassifying marijuana indicates a potential shift in federal policy, though the ultimate decision remains uncertain.

Norway and Israel at Odds- International News

JUST IN: 🇳🇴🇮🇱 Norway's $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund terminates Israel asset management contracts.

@The Montegonian 

Norway's $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, is terminating its asset management contracts with Israeli companies and divesting from some Israeli firms due to the situation in Gaza and the West Bank.

Key Points:

Background: The decision follows an urgent review that was launched after media reports revealed the fund's stake in Israeli jet engine group Bet Shemesh Engines Ltd (BSEL), which provides maintenance services for Israeli fighter jets.

Divestment: The fund has divested from 11 out of 61 Israeli companies it held stakes in as of June 30. The fund stated that it has now completely sold out of these positions. Going forward, the fund's investments in Israel will be limited to companies within the equity benchmark index.

Reasoning: Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) CEO Nicolai Tangen stated that the measures were taken due to extraordinary circumstances, citing the serious humanitarian crisis and worsening conditions in the West Bank and Gaza.

Ethical Concerns: The fund has stated it has long paid particular attention to companies associated with war and conflict, constantly monitoring companies' risk management related to conflict zones and respect for human rights.

Previous Actions: In the past year, the fund sold its stakes in an Israeli energy company and a telecoms group over ethics concerns.

Future Steps: NBIM stated that all investments in Israeli companies managed by external managers would be moved in-house, and contracts with external managers in Israel are being terminated.

Political Reaction: Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre expressed concern over the investment in BSEL and called for clarification.

Parliamentary Context: The Norwegian parliament rejected a proposal in June for the fund to divest from all companies with activities in the West Bank and Gaza.

Broader Trend: Several European financial firms have been cutting back links to Israeli companies amid pressure to end the war in Gaza.

The decision by Norway's sovereign wealth fund reflects growing concerns about the humanitarian situation and the adherence to ethical standards when investing in companies operating in conflict zones.
