News roundup for Fri, Apr 9, 2021

There have been six consecutive days of riots in Northern Ireland, with most of the unrest centered around Brexit-related trade and border issues. While leaders from all political backgrounds are urging calm, real solutions to the underlying problems remain scarce. Tensions continue to simmer as communities on both sides of the border grapple with the consequences of post-Brexit arrangements. Meanwhile, the U.S. has set new records for corn exports to China, with American corn becoming a vital part of China’s livestock feed supply. As China's pig population continues to grow, so does its reliance on imported corn. However, the Chinese government has started pushing for greater self-sufficiency in feed production, which raises questions about how long this corn export boom will last. On the global stage, tensions remain high along the Ukraine-Russia border. Open-source intelligence indicates that Russia has deployed its Iskander missile systems near the border, raising concerns about potential escalation. In response, the U.S. is reportedly considering sending warships into the Black Sea to signal support for Ukraine. A U.S. defense official confirmed that such a move could happen in the coming weeks. The global pandemic continues to evolve, with over 134.5 million confirmed cases worldwide. In the past week alone, more than 4.4 million new cases were reported. The death toll has surpassed 2.9 million globally. In the U.S., the situation remains dire, with over 31.7 million cases and more than 573,000 deaths. The country recorded over 950 deaths in the last 24 hours and added more than 75,000 new cases in a single day. Cases are rising again, fueled by the spread of the UK variant. The B.1.1.7 variant, first identified in the UK, has now reached all 50 U.S. states. Health experts are sounding the alarm, warning that it could lead to another surge in infections. Brazil is currently reporting nearly 4,000 daily deaths, while India has become the world leader in new daily cases, with over 131,000 reported in the last 24 hours. The virus shows no signs of slowing down, and the global health landscape remains highly volatile.
