A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday set aside a judge's ruling that bondholders had valid claims against Venezuela's state-run oil company related to its U.S. refiner Citgo, and directed the judge to apply Venezuela law in assessing the claims. The decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan could provide a boost to opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who have since 2019 controlled some of the Petroleos de Venezuela's (PDVSA) overseas assets.

China and the European Commission have been in negotiations since last week over the curbs that Beijing and some European automakers want scrapped.
China's President Xi Jinping made a congratulatory call on Thursday to incoming European Council President Antonio Costa, Chinese state media said, a few hours before European Commission curbs on Chinese electric cars are scheduled to take effect. The Commission is set to confirm provisional import tariffs of up to 37.6% on Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles (EVs), after the bloc accused the world's No.2 economy of providing its firms with heavy state subsidies. Xi said he "attaches great importance to the development of China-EU relations" as Europe braces for retaliatory measures from Beijing and the possible opening up of a new front in the West's tariff war with the $18.6 trillion economy.
