Rubio announces visa revocations on Brazilian judge for ‘political witch hunt’ against ex-president Bolsonaro

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced visa restrictions on a Brazilian judge after the country’s Supreme Court issued search warrants and restraining orders against former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, his unspecified allies on the court and his immediate family members will face visa revocations, according to Rubio, who criticized what he called a ‘political witch hunt’ against the former president.

‘President Trump made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States,’ Rubio said in a statement. 

‘Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil’s shores to target Americans,’ he continued.

As part of the court’s orders, Bolsonaro is prohibited from contacting foreign officials, using social media or approaching embassies over allegations he sought the interference of U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the decision issued by Moraes, who cited a ‘concrete possibility’ of him fleeing the country.

Federal police raided Bolsonaro’s home, and he had an ankle monitor placed on him.

Trump has already attempted to pressure Brazil’s officials to help Bolsonaro by announcing a 50% tariff on goods from the country from August 1 in a letter that began by criticizing Bolsonaro’s trial before Brazil’s Supreme Court on accusations of attempting to overturn the last election.

The U.S. president has pushed Brazil to end the case against Bolsonaro, arguing that the former Brazilian leader was the victim of a ‘witch hunt.’

Bolsonaro is on trial before Brazil’s Supreme Court on charges of plotting a coup to stop President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023.

Bolsonaro told Reuters that he believed the orders against him were issued in response to Trump’s criticism of his trial.

The former president described Moraes as a ‘dictator’ and called the latest court orders acts of ‘cowardice.’

‘I feel supreme humiliation,’ he said about wearing the ankle monitor. ‘I am 70-years-old, I was president of the republic for four years.’

Bolsonaro denied any plans to leave the country, but said he would meet with Trump if he could obtain access to his passport, which was seized last year. He also said he had contacted the top U.S. diplomat in Brazil to discuss Trump’s tariff threat.

White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said on Friday, citing previous comments from Trump, that ‘Bolsonaro and his supporters are under attack from a weaponized court system.’

On Thursday, Trump shared a letter he sent to Bolsonaro.

‘I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you. This trial should end immediately!’ he wrote.

Moraes said in his decision that the restrictions against Bolsonaro were because of allegations that the former president was attempting to have the ‘head of state of a foreign nation’ interfere in Brazilian courts, which the judge called an attack on national sovereignty.

The judge added that Trump’s threats of higher tariffs sought to create a serious economic crisis in Brazil to interfere in the country’s judicial system.

Bolsonaro was also prohibited from contacting key allies, including his son Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman who has been working in the U.S. to gather support for his father.

The former Brazilian president told Reuters he had been talking to his son almost daily and denied any concerted U.S. lobbying effort on his behalf. He said he expected his son to seek U.S. citizenship to avoid returning to Brazil.

A five-judge panel of Brazilian Supreme Court judges upheld Moraes’ decision.

Trump says 10 hostages will be returning from Gaza ‘very shortly’ during White House dinner with allies

During a celebratory dinner at the White House with a number of Donald Trump’s GOP allies, including several Republican lawmakers from Congress, the president signaled that 10 more hostages in Gaza would be ‘coming very shortly.’

The dinner was largely focused on touting the achievements Republicans have had over the last six months, but while praising his administration’s work on foreign policy, Trump commented about the hostages. 

‘Gaza – we got most of the hostages back,’ Trump said when his comments turned to the Middle East. ‘We’re going to have another ten coming very shortly. And we hope to have that finished pretty quickly,’ the president added.

So far, the U.S. has brought home five total American hostages captured by Hamas, three of whom were alive, two of whom were dead. Two Americans reportedly still remain in captivity, in addition to dozens of other non-Americans.

The rest of Trump’s address Friday night mostly included praise for Congressional Republicans over their work passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, with the president stating he doesn’t ‘think anybody’s ever come close to’ passing such sweeping legislation with such a small majority. 

In particular, Trump thanked by name Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, Republican Policy Committee Chair Shelly Moore-Capito, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham.

‘Nobody’s done so much, so fast. And probably you could say, with so few votes,’ Trump praised. ‘You stayed in session for a marathon ten consecutive weeks, and that’s the longest of any Senate in 15 years. And you held over 400 votes, more than any Senate in 35 years. And they were successful votes. And just a few weeks ago, we had the biggest victory of them all. When you passed the one big beautiful bill.’ 

The president also lauded Republicans for all the work they have done on immigration, border security, foreign diplomacy, speedy cabinet nominations, deregulation and spending cut efforts, calling out Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff specifically for their work on U.S. foreign diplomacy.

Top of mind Friday night was the GOP recission package as well, which Trump praised the passage of. Trump did not indicate when he would sign the GOP bill, but did note that ‘we have numerous other recissions coming up, adding more, many more $10 billion dollars to it.’

Meanwhile, Trump also predicted that, in 2026, the GOP majority ‘is going to be stronger in both the House and the Senate.’ Typically, conventional wisdom predicts that the party that won the presidency will not typically perform as well two years later during the midterm elections. 

‘I don’t understand why they say that when you win the presidency, you always almost automatically lose the midterms, because nobody’s had a more successful period of time than we have,’ Trump told the crowd of attendees at the White House Friday evening. ‘Based on that, we should do great.’

Trump added Friday that ‘We achieved more in six months than almost any administration could accomplish in eight years.’

‘And we’re going to have a lot of good six months left. We’re going to have a six and another six and another six. So we’ll keep going,’ he continued. ‘Over the next year and a half, we’ll have an incredible record to share with the American people,’ he continued. ‘As long as we continue to keep our promises to the voters, Americans will continue to stand by our side.’

Slovenia approves law to legalize assisted dying for terminally-ill adults

Slovenian lawmakers became the first Eastern European country to legalize a law on Friday to allow medically-assisted suicide for terminally-ill adults, in a shift in regional end-of-life policy. 

The country’s lawmakers passed the bill following a closely watched parliamentary vote with 50 votes in favor, 34 against and three abstaining. The vote also focused on a national referendum demanding expanded end-of-life rights. 

The legislation comes after a consultative referendum last year in which 55% of voters supported the right to end-of-life autonomy. While the move is being praised as historic, the law’s implementation will not be immediate as the procedures and oversight mechanisms are still being developed.

The law applies to terminally ill adults who are experiencing unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement. In order for candidates to qualify, they must be mentally competent and have already exhausted their available treatment options. Individuals suffering solely from mental illness will be excluded from eligibility. The patient has to provide informed, voluntary, and repeated consent. It is believed that the process may require evaluation by multiple medical professionals.

Although it is being hailed as a landmark move, it will not be immediately implemented as the detailed procedures and oversight mechanisms are still being finalized. 

‘This is a victory for compassion and dignity,’ said one lawmaker in support of the bill. A civil rights group opposed to the law referendum to overturn the measure.

A civil rights group opposing the new law pledged on Friday to seek public backing for a potential attempt to force a referendum on the measure.

Several other countries, including Canada, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Australia and Colombia, have legalized the so-called death with dignity.

Last month, Britain’s parliament voted to legalize assisted dying, although the bill must still clear the upper chamber of parliament.

In the U.S., 11 states allow medical aid in dying: Delaware, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. Lawmakers in some other states are considering similar legislation.

Washington, D.C., also permits physician-assisted suicide.

Heritage Foundation founder Edwin J. Feulner dies at 83

Edwin J. Feulner, a prominent figure in the American conservative movement and co-founder and former president of the Heritage Foundation, died on Friday at the age of 83.

Feulner served as the organization’s president from 1977 to 2013 and again from 2017 to 2018. He was well known for transforming the once-obscure think tank into one of the most influential policy powerhouses in Washington, D.C.

He was its longest-serving president after helping to create the Washington, D.C.-based think tank in 1973.

‘Ed Feulner was more than a leader—he was a visionary, a builder, and a patriot of the highest order,’ Heritage President Kevin Roberts and Board of Trustees Chairman Barb Van Andel-Gaby said in a joint statement. ‘His unwavering love of country and his determination to safeguard the principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in human history shaped every fiber of the conservative movement—and still do.’

The group had organized Project 2025, a controversial initiative that offered right-wing policy recommendations for the second Trump administration. Feulner co-wrote the initiative’s afterward and he and Roberts met with President Donald Trump ahead of last year’s election. Feulner was also on Trump’s transition team ahead of his first term.

Under his leadership, Heritage instituted a new model of conservative policy advocacy. This helped shape Reagan-era reforms and pushed market-based ideas into political mainstream. Feulner has remained active through Project 2025 and a transition plan for a second Trump term which is drawing praise and criticism for its hardline policy proposals.

An author of nine books and a former congressional aide, he was also involved in various other conservative organizations.

‘Whether he was bringing together the various corners of the conservative movement at meetings of the Philadelphia Society, or launching what is now the Heritage Strategy Forum, Ed championed a bold, ‘big-tent conservatism,” Roberts and Andel-Gaby wrote. ‘He believed in addition, not subtraction. Unity, not uniformity. One of his favorite mantras was ‘You win through multiplication and addition, not through division and subtraction.’ His legacy is not just the institution he built, but the movement he helped grow—a movement rooted in faith, family, freedom, and the founding. ‘

‘His ‘Feulnerisms’ still resonate in the halls of Heritage—where they will always be remembered. ‘People are policy,’ for instance— the heartbeat of his mission—to equip, encourage, and elevate a new generation of conservative leaders, not just in Washington, but across this great country,’ the statement continued. ‘And we still remember his adjuration to never be complacent or discouraged: ‘In Washington, there are no permanent victories and no permanent defeats.”

Roberts and Andel-Gaby vowed to honor Feulner’s life by ‘carrying his mission forward with courage, integrity, and determination.’

‘Thank you for showing us what one faithful, fearless man can do when he refuses to cede ground in the fight for self-governance,’ the leaders said of Feulner.

Heritage did not disclose Feulner’s cause of death.

Feulner is survived by his wife Lina, as well as their children and grandchildren.

Osisko Metals

Investor Insight

Osisko Metals’ high-quality copper and zinc assets present a compelling investment opportunity amid a rapidly expanding critical and base metals market. North America is continuing to prioritize domestic mineral supply chains, and Osisko Metals is well-positioned with its two brownfield, past-producing assets in Canada: the Gaspé Copper project and the Pine Point zinc-lead project.

Overview

Osisko Metals (TSXV:OM,OTC:OMZNF,FRANKFURT: 0B51) is an exploration and development company focusing on two base metal assets in Canada – Gaspé Copper and Pine Point – targeting copper and zinc, both critical minerals necessary for the global transition to clean energy. These assets are past-producing, brownfield projects of significant potential for future production.

The Gaspé Copper project in Québec has a rapid development plan to begin mining the indicated resource of 824 million tons (Mt) of ore grading 0.34 percent copper equivalent. As the gap between available copper supply and growing demand widens, Osisko Metals is well-positioned to help create and strengthen a domestic supply chain for the North American market.

The company’s Pine Point zinc-lead project in the Northwest Territories contains an indicated mineral resource estimate of 49.5 Mt at 4.22 percent zinc and 1.49 percent lead, in addition to significant inferred resources. Zinc is a necessary mineral for the clean energy transition and has important applications throughout the manufacturing industry. This widespread use of zinc has analysts cautioning about a looming supply shortage.

A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed in 2022 indicates the Pine Point project has the potential to become a world-class, high-grade zinc asset, with an after-tax net present value (NPV) of C$602 million and internal rate of return (IRR) of 25 percent. A feasibility study is now fully underway, and is expected to be completed in 2025.

In February 2023, Osisko Metals announced a C$100-million investment agreement with Appian Natural Resources Fund III for a joint venture on the Pine Point project. The agreement includes C$75.3 million of funding for the project and up to C$24.7 million in cash payments to Osisko Metals. In February 2024, Osisko Metals sold an additional 5 percent ownership interest in Pine Point Mining to a subsidiary of Appian for approximately C$8.33 million. Appian now has the right to earn up to 65 percent of the project, with Osisko Metals retaining 35 percent.

Pine Point Mining and the Town of Hay River have also signed a memorandum of understanding to seize opportunities for long-term sustainable growth for Hay River through the development and operations of the Pine Point mining project.

Led by a management team with a wide range of expertise throughout the natural resources industry and experience in geology, exploration, corporate finance and corporate administration, Osisko Metals is well-poised to become a world-class supplier of base metals.

Company Highlights

  • Osisko Metals (OM) is focused on becoming a significant base metals producer by bringing two past-producing Canadian brownfield assets back into production: the Gaspé Copper project in Québec and the Pine Point zinc-lead project in the Northwest Territories.
  • OM’s 100-percent-owned Gaspé Copper project is advancing rapidly with a fully funded 110,000-metre 2025 drill program and the goal of converting and expanding its large-scale NI 43-101 resource base.
  • Copper Mountain hosts the largest undeveloped copper asset in Eastern North America, with an in-pit indicated resource of 824 million tonnes (Mt) grading 0.34 percent copper equivalent (CuEq) and an inferred resource of 670 Mt grading 0.38 percent CuEq. The resource contains 4.91 billion pounds of copper, 274 million pounds of molybdenum, and 46 million ounces of silver.
  • The Pine Point project has the potential to become a top-ten global zinc producer, supported by updated 2024 resource estimates and a positive PEA. It is operated through a joint venture with Appian Natural Resources Fund III, which has the right to earn up to 65 percent of the project.
  • A C$100-million investment agreement with Appian includes C$75.3 million in project funding and allows for a staged increase in Appian’s ownership. Osisko Metals retains a 35 percent interest.
  • The 2022 PEA for Pine Point returned an after-tax IRR of 25 percent and an NPV (8 percent) of C$602 million, with clean, high-grade zinc and lead concentrates appealing to global smelters.
  • A highly experienced management team with a successful track record of discovery, development and value creation is leading Osisko Metals’ transformation into a leading North American base metals developer.

Key Projects

Gaspé Copper Project

The Gaspé Copper project in Québec is among the most significant copper development projects in eastern North America. Osisko Metals completed the 100-percent acquisition of Gaspé Copper in July 2023 and has since launched a fully funded, 110,000-metre drill program. Québec is consistently ranked as a top-tier mining jurisdiction with supportive permitting processes and access to infrastructure.

Project Highlights:

  • Significant Mineral Resource Estimate: The current NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate (effective November 2024) outlines an in-pit indicated resource of 824 Mt grading 0.34 percent copper equivalent and an inferred resource of 670 Mt grading 0.38 percent copper equivalent. Contained metals include 4.91 billion pounds of copper, 274 million pounds of molybdenum, and 46 million ounces of silver.
  • Prolific Past Production: The historic Gaspé mine produced more than 141 Mt at 0.9 percent copper between 1955 and 1999 through both underground and open-pit mining. The site has undergone over C$150 million in reclamation, creating a well-positioned brownfield development opportunity.
  • Robust Infrastructure: The site benefits from year-round road access, on-site hydroelectric power, proximity (under 100 km) to a deep-sea port in Gaspé, and remaining legacy infrastructure, including oxide stockpiles, administration buildings and a water treatment facility.
  • 2025 Drill Program: The 110,000-metre drill campaign initiated in February 2025 targets both infill and expansion zones. Goals include upgrading inferred resources, extending mineralization up to 250 meters below the current pit shell, testing areas toward Needle East Mountain, and better delineating high-grade skarn zones (grading 0.5 to 3.0 percent copper). Recent results include:
    • Drill hole 30-1090 – 279.0 meters averaging 0.49 percent copper and 108.0 meters averaging 0.84 percent copper
      Drill hole 30-1075 – 258.0 meters averaging 0.33 percent copper including 15.6 meters averaging 1.47 percent copper
    • Wide zones of new mineralization intersected southeast of the Copper Mountain pit, including skarn-hosted copper zones supporting potential for future resource expansion
  • Copper Mountain Updated MRE: The latest resource estimate (Fall 2024) reflects a 53 percent increase in copper-equivalent content in the indicated category and a 100-fold increase in the inferred category compared to prior reports. A high-grade sub-resource of 520 Mt grading 0.54 percent copper equivalent has also been identified at higher cut-off grades.
  • Acquisition of New Claims: In December 2024, Osisko Metals acquired 199 additional mineral claims adjacent to the Gaspé Copper property, expanding the project’s exploration footprint in a highly prospective area.

Pine Point Zinc-Lead Project

The Pine Point asset in the Northwest Territories is a brownfield site with legacy infrastructure and a clear path toward redevelopment. The site is supported by an on-site hydroelectric substation, paved access roads, and proximity to rail and port infrastructure.

Project Highlights:

  • Joint Venture: Pine Point Mining, the project operator, is governed under a joint venture between Osisko Metals and Appian Natural Resources Fund III. The C$100-million agreement includes C$75.3 million in project funding and additional cash payments. In February 2024, Osisko Metals sold an additional 5 percent interest to Appian for C$8.33 million. Appian may earn up to 65 percent ownership; Osisko Metals retains 35 percent.
  • High-grade Clean Concentrates: The project is expected to produce exceptionally clean zinc and lead concentrates, as confirmed by recent metallurgical testing. XRT sorting and flotation achieved recoveries of 87 percent for zinc and 93 percent for lead. Low deleterious element levels make Pine Point’s product highly attractive to smelters seeking premium concentrates.
  • Promising Economics: The 2022 PEA outlines an average annual life-of-mine production of 329 million pounds of zinc and 141 million pounds of lead. It projects an after-tax NPV (8 percent) of C$602 million and an IRR of 25 percent. Estimated dewatering volumes were reduced by 30 percent compared to the 2020 PEA.
  • 2024 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate:
    • Indicated: 49.5 Mt grading 4.22 percent zinc and 1.49 percent lead (5.52 percent zinc equivalent), containing 4.6 billion lbs of zinc and 1.6 billion lbs of lead
    • Inferred: 8.3 Mt grading 4.18 percent zinc and 1.69 percent lead (5.64 percent zinc equivalent), containing 0.7 billion lbs of zinc and 0.3 billion lbs of lead
    • East Mill, Central, and North zones collectively hold ~36.2 Mt of indicated resources grading 5.22 percent zinc equivalent
  • Community Support: Pine Point Mining Limited has secured support through collaboration agreements with Deninu K’ue First Nation and the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, and continues to work under a 2017 exploration agreement with K’atl’odeeche First Nation. A memorandum of understanding was signed in November 2024 with the Town of Hay River to promote long-term economic benefits and local participation.

Editor’s Picks: Silver Price Breaks US$39 Again, Rare Earths Stock Soars

The gold price saw both peaks and troughs this week, reacting to the release of June consumer and producer price index data out of the US, as well as renewed discussions about whether President Donald Trump may fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Silver was the real precious metals star, pushing past the US$39 per ounce level once again.

What’s happened is we broke through that US$37 to US$37.30 resistance level — after failing there, by the way — which is also a technical bullish sign. And then we rallied all the way to the US$39s, but we hit resistance between US$39 and US$40, which is not really unexpected, because it was a really quick move from US$37 to US$39.

I think US$40 is a big, round number that doesn’t have a lot of resistance on the long-term chart, but it’s still there in people’s minds.

It’s going to take a little bit to get through US$40. But once you’re by US$40, then it’s absolutely go time if you don’t think it is already.

Take a watch for more on silver, as well as the gold, platinum and copper markets.

Bullet briefing — MP shares rise, Barrick and Discovery talk Hemlo

MP Materials signs deal with Apple

MP Materials (NYSE:MP) was in the headlines after announcing a US$500 million partnership with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The companies said on Tuesday (July 15) that they have entered into a definitive long-term agreement through which MP will supply Apple with rare earth magnets.

The magnets will be made in the US, and will use 100 percent recycled materials.

The news follows last week’s new partnership between MP and the US Department of Defense. A key component is a 10 year deal that sets up a price floor commitment of US$110 per kilogram for MP’s neodymium-praeseodymium products, a move geared at creating supply chain stability.

The defense department will also become MP’s largest shareholder, buying US$400 million worth of preferred stock and receiving warrants to purchase additional common stock.

Shares of MP spiked on the news and have stayed high since then.

MP describes itself as the only fully integrated rare earths producer in the US, and the moves from Apple and the defense department reflect a growing push to diversify away from China.

Investors are taking note of the rare earths opportunity too. Here’s how Rick Rule of Rule Investment Media described the sector’s potential in a recent interview:

If you want a gamier suggestion, I really like the high-quality rare earths space. Nobody understands it, nobody cares. There are probably 50 pretenders in rare earths, but there are two or three speculations that, while you could easily lose 30 percent of your money, you could also easily enjoy 20 baggers.

Watch the interview for more, including Rule’s favorite ASX-listed mining stocks.

Barrick, Discovery Silver in Hemlo talks

Major miner Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) is reportedly looking to sell Hemlo, its last remaining Canadian gold mine, to Discovery Silver (TSX:DSV,OTCQX:DSVSF).

According to Bloomberg, the companies are in ‘advanced talks’ about a deal.

Located in Ontario, Hemlo’s 2025 output is forecast at 140,000 to 160,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of US$1,600 to US$1,700 per ounce.

The move to sell Hemlo comes as Barrick hones in on tier-one assets and broadens its focus. It changed its name from Barrick Gold to Barrick Mining earlier this year, with its latest divestment being the sale of its 50 percent stake in the Alaska-based Donlin gold project for US$1 billion in cash.

For its part, Discovery Silver has been on an expansion path, closing its acquisition of Newmont’s (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) Porcupine complex this past April.

In addition to Porcupine, Discovery holds the Cordero silver project in Mexico.
