MON SIX

By Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff

WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has "forever ‌barred" the Internal Revenue Service ‌from pursuing any audits into past tax claims ​for President Donald Trump, his relatives and his companies, according to a one-page document released Tuesday.

The sweeping document, ‌signed by ⁠acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, said the U.S. government could ⁠not audit Trump's tax returns filed before Monday or any matters "that ​were raised ​or could have ​been raised."

The order ‌expanded the settlement agreement Trump reached Monday with the IRS in which he agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit over the leak of his tax ‌returns. As part ​of the settlement, Justice ​Department created a ​nearly $1.8 billion fund to ‌compensate victims of political "weaponization."

Blanche faced ​repeated ​questions Tuesday over that fund in his first congressional testimony since ​taking over ‌as acting attorney general.

After a disappointing turn of events yesterday for theNittany Lions, Matt Campbell's class is still somewhat lacking in high profile offensive linemen.Layton Von Brandtwas someone that theNittany Lionslooked like they could end up getting again after his de-commitment last year, but his commitment to Auburn changed many things in the recruitment process for the Blue and White. Now Campbell and Co. must pivot, with attentions now turned on a three star tackle out of southern California.

WhileLucas Rhoamay be less of a certainty than Von Brandt, he still has showcased many of the traits that coaches and scouts covet in young O-linemen. He is comfortable in space, and a willing blocker in whatever capacity is needed. He will need to sit and learn for a while but he could end up paying dividends in the long run for the Nittany Lions, as any chance at getting offensive linemen on board is helpful to their cause. Six O-line transfers occurred during this offseason, as well as several key players such as Von Brandt and Maxwell Hiller, who was also the No. 1 recruit in the state of Pennsylvania, signing elsewhere.

This could be crunch time in order for the Nittany Lions to come away with an O-linemen of value, and even though Rhoa would be yet another three star recruit, he would still symbolize a huge win for the Nittany Lions. BothOregonandUCLAare rivaling Penn State in the race to sign him, as well as SEC juggernautTexas. All three of those programs have ample NIL resources to attract a player like Rhoa to their schools. For the Nittany Lions, it is paramount that his official visit on June 12th goes very well.

As the 50th ranked O-lineman in his class, Rhoa is certainly not the big swing for the fences at the position Penn State fans may have hoped for. Still, he could add plenty of value to a position of need for the Blue and White.

With tremendous size and athleticism, Kamagate projects as a difference maker at the next level. He's averaging 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game for his Adidas 3SSB team while shooting at a high percentage.

As a member of the 2028 class, Kamagate won't be making a decision anytime soon, but Kentucky is in on him early, and is sure to be heavily involved throughout the process.

SAO PAULO, May 18 (Reuters) - A deal for China to buy more U.S. agricultural goods could prompt Brazil to exploit gaps left by U.S. shipments ‌in other markets, as Washington focuses exports on Brazil’s top trading partner, industry experts said ‌on Monday.

Estimates of the impact on Brazil’s farm sector from the agreement announced on Sunday by the White House ​could be premature, though the competitiveness of Brazil could result in the country pushing in to other markets, the experts said.

Brazil’s agricultural exports to China reached $55.22 billion in 2025 — about one-third of the sector’s total overseas sales last year — according to government data. Soybeans accounted for $34.5 billion of that total, followed ‌by meat at $9.82 billion.

The White House ⁠estimates additional Chinese purchases of U.S. soy at 25 million metric tons and, if they materialize, Brazil would likely redirect its own trade flows, brokerage ⁠Stag International said.

“A Chinese soybean purchase program of 25 million tons would mainly displace buyers outside China toward Brazil and other origins,” the brokerage said in a report.

According to Stag, Brazil remains structurally competitive and, ​with ​a forecast record crop of over 180 million tons ​in 2026, should continue to capture significant ‌demand outside China.

Soybean trading and processing groups Anec and Abiove did not immediately respond to questions.

Ironically, Brazil could boost beef exports to the U.S. if the North American country — facing tight supply — channels more of its product to China.

“In principle, if the renewal of U.S. plant approvals (by China) is confirmed, there could be interest from the United States in recapturing part of its share in ‌the Chinese market. Given the large shortfall in U.S. ​production to meet domestic demand, opportunities could emerge for ​other countries, such as Brazil, to expand ​sales to the U.S.,” said Paulo Mustefaga, CEO of industry group Abrafrigo.

China renewed ‌more than 400 expired export licenses for ​U.S. beef processors, the ​Chinese customs website showed on Friday, after U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a summit in Beijing.

“It is worth noting that the United States, like Brazil, ​is also subject to a ‌quota on beef exports under safeguard measures (by China), which should limit any expansion of ​U.S. sales to the Chinese market,” Mustefaga added.
