Published Today President Donald Trump welcomed farmers, ranchers and agricultural leaders to the White House Thursday night, using the event to highlight trade initiatives, ethanol policy and proposed financial assistance for agriculture. The Administration plans to use frozen Iranian funds to purchase U.S. wheat, corn and soybeans to address food shortages in Iran.

The Manila Times The Manila Times The Manila Times is a national daily newspaper in the Philippines that delivers trusted, quality content. Published Jun 27, 2026 Here are the stories of The Manila Times for Sunday, June 28, 2026. VP Sara: Junk ‘flawed’ impeachment case VICE President Sara Duterte's camp said the impeachment complaint against her should be dismissed for being "fundamentally flawed," while the prosecution maintained that her answer did not engage with the articles, concentrating instead on procedural, jurisdictional and constitutional objections. The Senate, constituted as an impeachment court, on May 18 gave Duterte 10 calendar days to respond to the charges against her. Her reply on May 25 was uploaded to the Senate’s impeachment website this week. In her reply, Duterte said that the entire impeachment process in the House of Representatives Committee on Justice was “tainted by evident bad faith.” The defense also said that the House usurped the Senate's power by conducting a “mini trial” or a “fishing expedition” to build a case, rather than just initiating it. Duterte’s personal items off-limits – lawyers THE defense team of former president Rodrigo Duterte has opposed a request by International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors to access personal

AI is making some workers more productive, but it may also be reshaping workplace connection. As employees turn to AI for quick answers, feedback, and problem-solving, some of the everyday interactions that help teams build trust may be happening less often. For companies, the challenge is no longer just how to use AI efficiently, it's how to make sure productivity does not come at the expense of collaboration, Ana Altchek reports.

Business insiders Akihito reported that one marketing director said he now speaks to his coworkers about 50% less because of ChatGPT. Instead of asking a designer or engineer for help, he asks AI. And he's not alone. Jessica Brief, an incoming management professor at Wharton, said that people are increasingly choosing to work alone. Cisco found that its most active AI users trusted their teams less than intermittent users, likely because. Top users spend more time on their own and less time with their colleagues. The company said that AI can unintentionally create isolation when it's adopted individually rather than collectively. The coaching platform Better Up found that

NewsWorld Cup: Van Dijk assists as Netherlands and Sweden progress Published 16 hours ago By Joe Urquhart Virgil van Dijk provided an assist for the Netherlands in a 3-1 victory over Tunisia as they progressed into the knockout stage of the World Cup. The Liverpool captain produced a headed knockdown for teammate Brian Brobbey from a free-kick to double the lead gained by Ellyes Skhiri's own goal in Kansas City overnight. Hazem Mastouri reduced the Tunisia deficit after the half-time break, before Jan Paul van Hecke swiftly restored the two-goal advantage for the Netherlands as they claimed top spot in Group F. Cody Gakpo, who completed 84 minutes of the match, and Ryan Gravenberch also started for the Dutch. The Netherlands will now face Morocco in Monterrey in the Round of 32 during the early hours of Tuesday. In the same group, Alexander Isak was selected in attack for Sweden during their 1-1 draw with Japan in Dallas. The Reds forward was involved in the whole encounter, during which Daizen Maeda and Anthony Elanga were on target for either country as the points were shared. The result was enough for Sweden to earn themselves a spot in the last 32

Sialkot, Pakistan, is one of the world’s most important football-making hubs, but FIFA certification remains limited to a select group of manufacturers. At Bola Gema, footballs undergo rigorous performance testing before approval. The process requires precision, and steep fees that can add up quickly — but certification can also open the door to major World Cup demand. Watch full video: https://lnkd.in/etKp_mim Like Comment Transcript This factory produces more than two million footballs a year. And right before the World Cup, demand excludes all across Sialkot, a city in Pakistan that makes about 70% of the world's footballs. But only a small percentage of the roughly 1000 factories here are FIFA certified because they need to meet some of the toughest standards in sports manufacturing. Workers check the weight to make sure it meets the FIFA standard of 410 to 445 grams. To keep things fair, all balls should weigh the same. If they're too light, they could easily be pushed around by the wind. If they're too heavy, they would be difficult for players to control and could even hurt them. That's why Bola GEMA has a lab where they run select samples through a series of performance tests. Samples

Semiconductor manufacturing requires a rigorous level of environmental control. Inside Intel's Oregon operation, a single stray particle can destroy a chip. Specialized suits, filtered airflow, controlled lighting, and constant cleaning protect a process that has become increasingly important to US technology and national strategy. Business Insider got rare access to see what it takes to manufacture advanced chips in America, and why rebuilding domestic production is far more complicated than simply opening more factories, Olivia Nemec reports.
