Mexico plans national security screening for foreign investments in key tech sectors — 2dMexico is pushing a reform to the Foreign Investment Law to create a formal national-security review for foreign acquisitions above 49% in strategic sectors such as energy, AI, semiconductors, data management and cybersecurity, with the Defense Ministry, Navy and Security Ministry joining the National Foreign Investment Commission and penalties as high as 200,000 times the UMA for noncompliance. The CNIE would set the asset threshold, impose mandatory pre-approval or mitigation measures, and, if no decision is reached within the statutory period, treat the filing as a denial, as Mexico seeks to curb security risks while continuing to attract investment amid US pressure and ongoing USMCA concerns.

Luis Robert Jr. on waivers by MetsSports — 3dThe New York Mets placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on outright waivers, giving a 48-hour window for another team to claim him and assume about $5 million guaranteed (roughly $3 million in 2026 salary plus a $2 million buyout) with a $20 million club option for 2027; if unclaimed, he remains with the Mets and could be postseason-eligible for a claiming team if done by Sept. 1. The move is framed as a cost-cutting measure by the Mets amid injury history and uneven production, though Robert has shown a burst of strong performance recently and remains an attractive but uncertain asset.
