Adnoc Gas Plans $8B Expansion, Apple Tests Chinese Memory Chips
Adnoc Gas announces $8B capacity boost, Apple trials CXMT chips, Taylor Farms recalls jalapeño items, and Trump names new White House counsel.
The United Arab Emirates' Adnoc Gas has announced plans to invest over $8 billion to expand its production capacity. The move comes just months after the country exited the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), signaling a strategic push to strengthen its independent energy position.
In the technology sector, Apple has been testing memory chips from China's CXMT across its product lines, including iPhones and MacBooks. The trials are aimed at mitigating a component shortage that has been exacerbated by the artificial intelligence boom, which has driven up demand for memory chips globally.
Meanwhile, Taylor Farms has initiated a recall of prepared food items containing jalapeños over potential salmonella contamination. This follows the company's earlier removal of lettuce from Mexico, which U.S. authorities had linked to the cyclospora parasite.
In U.S. political news, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that White House staff secretary Will Scharf will become White House counsel and assistant to the president, effective September 1.
