U.S. Department of Defense: Welcome Syrian opposition leaders' comments on chemical weapons, but will wait for their actions to judge.Brazil's Vale said it had reached an agreement with the US Department of Energy to provide financing of $282.9 million for the Louisiana plant until 2031.Aiming at the low-interest inclusive credit intermediary packaging, I recently visited a number of loan intermediaries and found that these companies are very similar in business layout and office space. The bank logo on the wall is standard, and the daily performance information of loan managers is scrolled on the electronic screen hanging at the entrance. Observing the screen, it is not difficult to find that the Pratt & Whitney mortgage loan for small and micro enterprises is the main product of loan managers in the near future. Customizing shell companies for borrowers according to bank audit requirements to apply for mortgage loans has become a routine means for loan intermediaries to attract customers. Although many banks explicitly require that cooperation with loan intermediaries is not allowed, the attitude of bank branches and grassroots employees towards loan intermediaries is ambiguous. According to industry insiders, inclusive loans are special loans that benefit small and micro enterprises, farmers and other special groups and must be implemented. With the implementation of the financing coordination mechanism for small and micro enterprises, banks and enterprises are expected to achieve accurate docking, so that credit resources can flow to small and micro enterprises with real financing needs.

Erdogan, Turkey: Thanks to the leaders of Somalia and Ethiopia for achieving historical reconciliation.Competitors criticized Google for changing its search results and asked the European Union to file antitrust charges. More than 20 price comparison websites in Europe criticized Google's suggestions for modifying its search results on Wednesday, saying that these suggestions still did not meet the technical rules of the European Union, and urged regulators to file charges against Google. For more than a year, Google has been discussing with price comparison websites, hotels, airlines, restaurants and retailers how to abide by the Digital Market Law, which prohibits Google from favoring its own products and services on its platform. Last month, the company announced its latest proposal, which includes expanding the unit with the same format, allowing users to choose between comparison websites and supplier websites. If it can't reach an agreement with its competitors, it may return to the "ten blue links" format many years ago as an alternative. This form is currently being tested in Germany, Belgium and Estonia.Hungarian Prime Minister: Zelensky explicitly rejected the ceasefire on December 25th.

Optimize the layout of branches. Brokers accelerate the transformation of wealth management. Recently, a number of brokers announced the cancellation of business offices to further optimize the layout of business outlets. According to insiders, the cancellation or establishment of a new business department of a securities company is mainly due to the strategic development of the company and the consideration of meeting the diversified needs of investors.
