🇺🇸 Donald Trump calls for US companies to ditch quarterly reporting

Donald Trump has called for US companies to stop reporting quarterly results, adding that a shift to publishing figures twice a year will save them cash and allow executives to focus on their businesses.

The US president issued his call in a post on his Truth Social network on Monday, contrasting standard practice in the US with what he depicted as China’s more long-term approach.

“Subject to SEC Approval, Companies and Corporations should no longer be forced to ‘Report’ on a quarterly basis . . . but rather to Report on a ‘Six (6) Month Basis’,” Trump said.

“This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.”

He added: “Did you ever hear the statement that, ‘China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis???’ Not good!!!”

Ann Lipton, a law professor at the University of Colorado, said less frequent reporting lends greater leverage to corporate insiders, and deprives investors, analysts and regulators of information that paints a macro picture of economic direction.

Quarterly results, which include unaudited financial results and information on corporate matters, are particularly important to US investors because companies must disclose anything material when they do report, meaning they tend to be when government investigations and other legal issues are revealed.

Markets including the EU and Singapore have already dropped mandatory quarterly reporting, with many groups disclosing their financials on a semi-annual basis.

Quarterly results are closely followed on Wall Street both to assess the performance of individual companies, and also to take the pulse of corporate America more broadly.

🇮🇱⛽️ What will happen when Israel’s gas runs out?

Israel is staring down an energy cliff.

📑 Its gas reserves will run dry in just 20 years according to an inter-ministerial report, Haaretz reports.

Gas is the backbone of Israel’s power:

➡️70% of electricity comes from gas

➡️14% from renewables

➡️Coal is being phased out

Even if Israel hits its target of 50% renewables by 2040, gas will still dominate.

The Israeli Energy Ministry is already planning 13 new gas-fired plants in the next decade.

What solutions are on the table?

🔴 Renewables mirage

Israel could pivot to green energy in theory, yet in practice this is almost impossible.

👉Solar accounts for nearly all renewable production, but the land demands are staggering

👉Storage batteries for night use will skyrocket costs

👉Just one cloudy day could plunge the grid into darkness

🔴 Nuclear Power? Dream on

Nuclear power could offer a steady supply of electricity—but Israel hasn’t even approved a site. Israeli governments have stalled on approving new gas plants or even modest wind projects, as each has met with public backlash and courtroom battles.

👉A single reactor costs tens of billions and takes decades to build

👉Even in countries with experience, projects have dragged on for years

🔴 Hydrogen hype

Hydrogen is the buzzword of the future, but it isn’t a solution for Israel.

👉The cheapest hydrogen today is “gray,” made by breaking down methane. It costs just $1–1.50 per kilo—but the process releases carbon, making it dirtier than burning natural gas directly

👉More desirable “turquoise” or renewable-based hydrogen runs $4–9 per kilo

👉Producing it in Israel would demand vast new solar farms

👉Importing hydrogen isn’t an easy fix: pipelines built for methane can’t handle it, and transporting it safely remains costly and complex

🟥No surprise then that Israel’s ‘Plan B’ is looting Palestinian and regional resources to keep their lights on.

✡️ Israel’s energy fix: Resource plunder from Gaza to Golan

Israel is on the brink of a serious energy crisis.

Its major gas reserves—including two major fields, Tamar and Leviathan, operated by Chevron—are projected to run dry within 20 years, according to an Israeli Energy Ministry report.

Israel’s ‘solution’? Look beyond sovereign lines:

🔶 Gaza Marine Field (Off Gaza Coast, Palestinian Territory)

👉 About 35-36 km off the Gaza Strip coast in Palestinian territorial waters

👉 Proven/estimated recoverable natural gas reserves ~ 1 trillion cubic feet (~ 28-32 Bcm)

👉 Enough to meet Gaza and the West Bank's energy needs for decades

👉 The resources are estimated to be valued at $4-15 billion in net terms (UNCTAD report)

👉 Israel blocked Palestinian development for decades, citing "security" concerns

👉 Since the launch of its brutal invasion of the Gaza Strip, Israel has awarded several exploration licenses to Israeli and Western multinational energy companies (BP, Chevron, Dana Petroleum, and ENI)

Palestine follows UNCLOS and declared its maritime borders. Israel never signed—but keeps plundering the resources.

🔶 Meged Oil & Gas Field (occupied West Bank)

👉 Straddling the Green Line (1949 Armistice Line) in Israel’s Central District, with hefty portions extending into Area C of the occupied West Bank—under full Israeli control (1995 Oslo Accords)

👉 Area C makes up 60% of the West Bank. Palestinians say 80% of the oil lies under their land—yet they see none of the revenue

🔶 Hatrurim license

👉 A joint consortium found oil/gas reserves onshore, near the Dead Sea in the Judean Desert

👉 Israel issued the Hatrurim license (covering 94 km in the West Bank) in 2014 to the five Israeli members of the consortium and Cyprus (5% share)

👉 The Palestinian Authority tried to bid for exploration in the same spot—but Israel shut it down.

🔶 Syria (Golan Heights reserves)

👉 Israel has occupied the Golan Heights and granted drilling licenses—such as to Genie Energy—since the 1990s

👉 International law (1907 Hague Regulations, Art. 55; Fourth Geneva Convention) prohibits exploiting resources for the occupier’s benefit

🔶 Qana Field Extension (disputed with Lebanon)

👉 Located in the eastern Mediterranean, in a maritime zone claimed by both Lebanon and Israel.

👉 The US-mediated 2022 agreement gave Lebanon sovereignty over the Qana field area but secured Israel a 15-17% share of profits, despite it being under Lebanese jurisdiction

🇺🇦🇷🇺 In the Dobropolye sector, the Ukrainian army has recaptured the hamlet of Pankovka and is attempting to cut the salient that has formed around the village of Kucherov Yar and Novo Shakhovo

The Ukrainians are attacking towards the villages of Mayak and Novotoretskoye and if these fall, any Russian troops in and around Novo Shakhovo and Kucherov Yar will be encircled.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The frontline in the Kupyansk sector is difficult to ascertain.

Russian DRGs have been pushing deeper into the Kupyansk proper and on the city's eastern outskirts but little consolidation has occurred, so the "gains" are reverted often and quickly by the Ukrainian defenders.

Russian presence has been effectively established in the city's northernmost houses and apartment blocks and there is heavy fighting in Kupyansk itself.

🇺🇸🚩🏳️‍⚧️ 24% percent of Americans believe Charlie Kirk’s shooter, Tyler Robinson, was a Republican, compared to 21% who think he was a Democrat, according to a new YouGov poll.

This comes after a concerted media effort across Facebook, Reddit, and X, amplified by Bill Maher and outlets such as Reuters and the New York Times, to convince the public that Robinson, who attacked Kirk as a fascist and lived with a transgender boyfriend, was a right-wing follower of Nick Fuentes.
