Avantor CEO Michael Stubblefield To Step Down; Board Begins Global Search For Successor

Ryan Petersen, founder and CEO of supply chain platform Flexport Inc., believes President Donald Trump will ultimately be the one to &#8220;blink&#8221; in this trade war with China.
What Happened: Speaking with Scott Galloway on The Prof G Pod on Thursday, Petersen said he believes the U.S. will be the first to blink in the ongoing tariff standoff with China. &#8220;You can kind of game theory this out,&#8221; he said. &#8220;One side is going to budge. If neither does, it's catastrophic. But if one side has to blink, it's the U.S.&#8221;
Petersen argued that the perception of the trade conflict differs sharply between the two countries, suggesting that &#8220;the Chinese will see this as something being done to them by a foreign imperialist power,&#8221; while Americans are more likely to view it as &#8220;something being done to us by our own leadership.&#8221;

Petersen said, pointing to mechanisms like elections, financial markets, and bond markets that put pressure on U.S. leadership. American people &#8220;are way softer,&#8221; he says, in contrast to the Chinese, who &#8220;have suffered worse and can bear it.&#8221;
Petersen then highlights the workarounds and second-order effects stemming from the tariffs. &#8220;The market finds a way,&#8221; he says.
One common workaround is known as &#8220;tariff engineering,&#8221; which involves shifting Chinese components to Southeast Asian countries for &#8220;substantial transformation,&#8221; or enough value-added processing to legally reclassify the products as originating from, for example, Vietnam, thus bypassing the high tariffs imposed on China.
Petersen also warned of a likely spike in tariff &#8220;fraud,&#8221; citing growing incentives for misreporting shipment values. &#8220;There's now a huge incentive to lie about the value of your goods,&#8221; he said, noting that U.S. Customs and Border Protection does not have agents in China to go chase you down.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Several others have echoed the view that Trump may ultimately be the first to blink in the ongoing standoff. 
Economist Nouriel Roubini recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44754363/dr-doom-transforms-to-dr-boom-nouriel-roubini-says-mickey-mouse-could-be-us-president-and-economy-will-keep-growing">described the situation</a> as a &#8220;three-way game of chicken&#8221; involving Trump, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and said that Trump is the most likely to back down.
Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler shared similar views <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/44969920/its-not-going-to-end-well-former-sec-chair-gensler-says-chinese-are-tough-negotiators-who-believe-they-can-outwait-us-policy-volatility">during his appearance</a> on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; on Thursday, saying that the Chinese &#8220;are tough negotiators,&#8221; and that &#8220;they [China] think time is on their side and that they can outwait the volatility of policy on the other side.&#8221;

U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;hinted that his contribution to the Abraham Accords could potentially make him a worthy contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.
What Happened: During&nbsp;a meeting with Norwegian Prime&nbsp;Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump alluded to the possibility of more nations joining the Abraham Accords.
This significant agreement, signed during his first presidency, led to the normalization of relations between Israel and four Arab countries.

When asked about his potential eligibility for the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump responded, "I don&#8217;t want to get ahead of myself in this one, but they say for the Abraham Accords,&#8221; reported National Desk.
He also took a swipe at his successor, President Biden, stating, &#8220;We have four [countries] and Biden did nothing on that one too.&#8221;
"It&#8217;s the same four but they&#8217;re great countries, and they were brave doing it and it&#8217;s worked out very well,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: The Abraham Accords were signed at the White House in 2020, with the UAE and Bahrain being the first signatories, followed by Morocco and Sudan. Despite attempts by former President Joe Biden to extend the agreements to include Saudi Arabia, progress was halted due to the war in Gaza. Trump&#8217;s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, played a crucial role in the Abraham Accords, but later distanced himself from the President&#8217;s political influence.
The U.S. President has been nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize as a result of his role in facilitating the Abraham Accords. In 2020, Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde nominated Trump for the prize, while in 2025, Congressman, Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Darell Issa put forward Trump&#8217;s name for the same reason.
Trump, now in his second term, has pledged to reinitiate efforts to expand these treaties. His first major foreign trip is scheduled for next month, where he will visit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. The Abraham Accords are expected to be a key point of discussion during this trip.

Trump Says He May Deserve A Nobel Peace Prize For This Reason

Shark Tank Season 15 alumnus Ramon van Meer says the Trump-era tariff spike is exposing a hard truth about patriotic shopping: most buyers bolt when the price tag jumps.
What Happened: In a blog post published this week, the entrepreneur and founder of a water-filter brand named Afina, described a real-world A/B test in which 25,650 web visitors were shown identical filtered showerheads — one marked "Made in Asia" for $129, the other "Made in the USA" for $239.
"We created a secret landing page. … The only difference? One was labeled ‘Made in Asia' and priced at $129. The other, ‘Made in the USA,' at $239," he wrote. Not a single U.S.-made unit sold.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Everyone says they'd pay more for "Made in the USA." I tested it. We make a $129 filtered showerhead manufactured in China. With tariffs surging to 170%, we explored reshoring. We found a U.S. supplier. Our costs nearly tripled. I ran a clean A/B test: &#x1f447;

Van Meer's costs soared after tariffs on Chinese imports jumped from 25% to as much as 170%, pushing his domestic production bill to nearly triple the overseas rate. Broader consumer-goods makers, from sneakers to showerheads, are dealing with the same math as President Donald Trump's second-term duties — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44886711/trump-expresses-reluctance-to-escalate-china-tariffs-hints-at-trade-deal">145% on most Chinese shipments</a> — ripple through supply chains.​
Afina already sources its KDF-55 filter material in the United States, but labor and tooling in California still dwarf Asian quotes. "Supporting U.S. manufacturing becomes a luxury most can't afford — even if they want to," van Meer said, warning policymakers that "idealism doesn't always survive contact with a price tag."​
Why It Matters: The unhappy entrepreneur isn&#8217;t the only one disgruntled by the need to pivot. Mark Cuban, who&#8217;d co-invested in van Meer&#8217;s other company, &#8216;Genius Litter&#8217; on the Shark Tank stage, recently posted on X, stating that the fate of U.S. manufacturing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44884915/mark-cuban-backed-a-startup-that-tried-to-push-buy-american-while-you-shopped-no-one-cared-they-had-to-pivot">lies less with Washington</a> and more with shoppers' wallets.
Cuban argued that Americans could have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44661665/manufacturing-resurgence-not-without-a-workforce-says-blackrocks-fink">preserved factory jobs</a> simply by buying only domestic goods, but didn&#8217;t. To test the theory, Cuban backed a browser extension that flagged U.S-made alternatives while users shopped online, but the tool fizzled because "no one cared," forcing the startup to pivot. The flop, he said, proves consumers talk about supporting local industry yet abandon that ideal at checkout.
Cuban now calls critics of offshoring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44786027/mark-cuban-criticizes-tariff-supporters-who-dont-buy-american-you-are-a-hypocrite">"hypocrites"</a> if they demand tariffs while filling carts with imports, urging them to "lead by example and get friends and family to do the same." Until buyers consistently choose American products, he concludes, nostalgia for lost factory jobs — and anger over tariffs — ring hollow.

The goal in building the tech stack – dubbed "Space Llama" – is to not only replace paper documents onboard the ISS National Lab, but also decrease reliance on instructions received from the ground while deployed at the edge. The result will be lower costs, less computing power required, and faster outcomes when responding to onboard anomalies or maintenance issues, without depending on Earth-bound internet.

Black reiterated that he wasn't criticizing the company for its "toe in the water" approach to the Robotaxi's launch. "One mishap or injury in Austin and the MSM will be all over this &#8211; particularly with no TSLA PR effort." He said.
However, the investor pointed out the difference in valuation between Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Tesla.
"GOOGL trades at 17.5x 2025 Non-GAAP EPS, while TSLA trades at 114x 2025 Non-GAAP EPS.&nbsp; TSLA's robotaxi test with 10-20 cars employing remote drivers to some extent to ensure no mishaps does not YET warrant $ billions of robotaxi valuation potential." Black said in the post.
There could be an increase in his $310 price target for Tesla if the Austin robotaxi launch progresses smoothly, and if the platform can be expanded to other locations, he said, but noted that investors' estimates of "$500B-$1.0T" is absurd for a concept that isn't proven successful yet.
Why It Matters: The investor's comments come in as Waymo has announced it reached the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001569/waymo-announces-250000-weekly-paid-rides-across-four-us-cities-sundar-pichai-says-personal-ownership-an-option-in-the-future">250,000 weekly paid rides</a> milestone across 4 cities in the U.S., like Austin, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.

Tesla Bull Gary Black Says Robotaxi 'Experiment' In Austin With '10-20' Cars Does Not Warrant Billions In Valuation Potential

The President Donald Trump administration is under scrutiny after Charles Gasparino reported on Thursday that high-ranking Wall Street executives are receiving inside updates on international trade talks.
What Happened: Gasparino, a Senior Correspondent at Fox Business, posted on X that "people inside the Trump White House are alerting Wall Street execs they are nearing an agreement in principle on trade with India." 
Gasparino said that his sources are "senior Wall Street execs with ties to the White House" and that the India deal could be used as a model for negotiations with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44999320/japans-counterpunch-to-trump-tariffs-emergency-measures-deployed-as-us-trade-talks-loom">other countries like Japan.</a>
Gasparino went on to add: "No details on timing, and recall that we have been here before with Japan only to have the goal posts changed, and terms renegotiated. But if this holds, the India deal being envisioned will include agreed upon goals, and issues that have been addressed and resolved as well as a deadline for the fully-baked trade pact."

When Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal raised questions about its significance, he wrote: "Isn't the big story that The White House gives Wall Street executives early heads up on trade negotiations, rather than the existence of the deals themselves?"
Meanwhile, The Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/c2be45b8-cfad-4cbb-9a1a-bfd0626be372">reported</a> that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) intends to shift all iPhone assembly for the U.S. market to India, beginning next year. The move is part of a broader supply chain overhaul triggered by trade tensions with China. The company reportedly wants to fulfill all U.S. orders—over 60 million iPhones every year—from Indian factories by the end of 2026.
The White House did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The conjunction of these developments indicates the increasing convergence of trade policy, corporate tactics, and political influence. 
Gasparino drew attention to the peculiarity of the authorization. Numerous X users expressed concerns regarding transparency in response to his report, but Gasparino stated that this did not amount to insider trading.

Trump White House Accused Of Privately Tipping Off Wall Street Execs On India Trade Talks, Report Sparks Transparency Concerns

Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates&#8216; former wife, Melinda French Gates, is brushing off criticism from tech industry leaders about her philanthropic efforts, reaffirming her commitment to her mission despite high-profile detractors.
What happened: During a recent interview on Scott Galloway&#8216;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgRks8ktRJc">podcast</a>, French Gates addressed criticism she and Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos&#8217; former wife, MacKenzie Scott, have received from billionaires like Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk regarding their charitable giving. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m in the arena doing the work,&#8221; French Gates stated, emphasizing her focus on meaningful impact rather than commentary from critics. 
Musk has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39443853/elon-musk-thinks-scorned-billionaire-wife-to-democrat-activist-could-be-downfall-of-western-civiliza">suggested French Gates&#8217; political activities </a>could be &#8220;the downfall of western civilization,&#8221; while Pershing Square Holdings CEO Bill Ackman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40152510/bill-ackman-hits-back-at-melinda-gates-advocates-elon-musks-for-profit-solutions-over-philanthropy-g">argued that for-profit solutions</a> are more effective than philanthropy in addressing societal problems.

Why it matters: French Gates has pivoted to concentrate on her own initiative, Pivotal Ventures, after leaving the Gates Foundation. 
She recently launched a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41298321/melinda-french-gates-pledges-250m-to-address-womens-biggest-needs-need-to-do-a-better-job">$250 million &#8220;Action for Women&#8217;s Health&#8221;</a> fund focused on improving women&#8217;s mental and physical health, part of her broader $12.5 billion commitment to philanthropic causes. 
French Gates&#8217; substantial financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41298321/melinda-french-gates-pledges-250m-to-address-womens-biggest-needs-need-to-do-a-better-job">commitments signal continued investment</a> in women&#8217;s health sectors, which she describes as &#8220;underfunded, overlooked, and misunderstood.&#8221;

The&nbsp;Federal Reserve&nbsp;revoked its guidance for banks that required them to inform the regulator before engaging in any cryptocurrency-related activity on Thursday.
What Happened: The Fed retracted its 2022 supervisory letter that mandated banks to notify in advance about their&nbsp;cryptocurrency endeavors, among other risk management practices and compliance controls, according to a press release.
The central bank said it no longer&nbsp;expects such notifications and will instead monitor banks&#8217; cryptocurrency activities through the regular supervisory process.

The Fed also pulled back its 2023 supervisory letter related to the banks&#8217; engagement with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/33669212/fed-cracks-down-on-banks-crypto-activities-signaling-wider-regulatory-war-on-digital-asset">dollar-backed stablecoins</a>. 
&#8220;The Board intends to&nbsp;work with the agencies to&nbsp;evaluate if there is a need for additional guidance to promote innovation, including crypto-asset activities,&#8221; a statement read.
Cryptocurrency mogul and Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) co-founder Michael Saylor cheered the announcement, stating, &#8220;Banks are now free to begin supporting Bitcoin.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This decision comes on the heels of Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8217;s statement earlier this month indicating a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44850021/fed-chair-powell-says-crypto-and-banking-rules-will-loosen-as-sector-matures">relaxation of certain cryptocurrency and banking regulations</a>. 
Powell acknowledged the increasing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies and emphasized the need for a clear regulatory framework, especially around stablecoins. 
The Trump administration has been vocal about its support for the cryptocurrency industry, instituting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/01/43110946/sec-launches-crypto-task-force-to-establish-clear-regulatory-framework">dedicated SEC crypto task force</a>, repealing an accounting directive that prohibited banking institutions f<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43181875/sec-repeals-sab-121-policy-that-restricted-banks-from-providing-custody-services-for-bitcoin-crypto-mom-says-bye-bye">rom providing custodial services for digital assets</a>, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">establishing </a>a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve.
