On Jan. 29, 2022, Sir Michael Morgan Jr., an 18-year-old member of the Muscogee Nation, shot and killed Isaiah Jones, also 18, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Morgan couldn’t legally own a handgun, so he had borrowed one—a 9 mm semi-automatic Canik pistol with room for 19 rounds of fire.

The shooting coincided with the United States’ peak COVID-19 outbreak, when Americans were buying guns in record quantities and those guns were turning up at crime scenes at record pace. But as inflation rose and some U.S. factories closed for pandemic lockdowns, guns were increasingly imported from countries where production was cheaper and uninterrupted.

Leading that trend was Turkey, which since 2021 has been the United States’ top gun exporter. And top among Turkish brands is Canik, owned by the parent company Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS).

At the time of Jones’s murder, the Canik pistol had become a hot commodity, uniquely suited for the growing U.S. market. Gun designers and marketers were trying to expand their customer base among women, children, and Black consumers like Morgan and Jones, and Canik’s 9 mm pistol—designed for small hands, with an easy-to-use trigger and a light frame—was ideal for a shooter with little experience. More importantly, the Canik pistol was cheap, usually costing less than $400.

“Turkey kind of occupies this niche all on their own,” Iain Harrison, a marksman and editor in chief of Recoil magazine, told Foreign Policy. While Turkish manufacturers’ price points compare with lower-quality guns from countries with less developed industries, “quality-wise, even despite the price, they’re right up there with the European guys.”

Though U.S. gun sales have dropped since their peak in 2020 and SYS’s competitors’ sales have largely shrunk, SYS’s brands are growing beyond their pre-pandemic numbers. The company says it can produce up to 460,000 9 mm pistols a year, which would make it second in production after the German giant Sig Sauer—but, crucially, at half the sales price.

Turkish companies’ success in the United States is partly due to their pivot to producing semi-automatic 9 mm pistols—a type of gun that has been linked to gun violence, which disproportionately affects poor neighborhoods. Of the guns traced to crime scenes in 2023, 74 percent were pistols, according to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); almost half of those were 9 mm. While information on the makes of these guns is spotty, in a recent study by Everytown for Gun Safety that collected data from 34 cities, four of the 10 most commonly traced brands in 2023 were foreign, including those marked Century Arms, Canik’s importer.

“It’s pretty simple; economic factors influence firearm purchases,” said Sarah Burd-Sharps, former senior director of research at Everytown for Gun Safety. “More access to very cheap guns equals more potential for harm.”

Cheap foreign guns have outperformed local ones in the United States before, but this is the first time that a country with such a young industry and such low production costs has done so well. Further, as U.S. tariffs stand to jolt prices up across the board, Turkish guns may be spared from the biggest hikes.

To those who see gun ownership as a right to self-defense, the popularity of Turkish guns marks a step toward expanding access and diversifying options. But to those who worry that high gun supply spells more harm, it may contribute not only to a more violent United States, but to a more violent world.

Ankara invested little in modernizing its small arms manufacturing prior to the 1990s, when war against Kurdish guerrillas created a need for more sophisticated weapons. The state-owned Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKE) distributed permits to factory owners, formalizing pockets of a sprawling gun cottage industry.

SYS was the most ambitious of Turkey’s young firms. The family patriarch, Huseyin Cahit Aral, had made a fortune as an industrialist, founding Turkey’s first fruit juice and frozen food factories. His son Zafer bought a small arms workshop in 1998 and, through partnerships with national and multinational defense companies, grew it into a multi-campus, high-tech operation.

This transformation was possible in part because of reforms beginning in 2004 by then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that aimed to free Turkey’s defense industry from its dependence on Western firms. In this effort, he has largely succeeded. The defense and trade ministries now extend subsidies, marketing support, and favorable loans to enterprising Turkish defense companies and reward them with hefty contracts to arm the military and police.

By the 2010s, boosted by growing gun ownership at home, Turkish firearm companies started eyeing the U.S. market. In 2012, SYS representatives traveled to the Las Vegas SHOT Show, where they met with Century International Arms, the United States’ biggest surplus gun importer. The two agreed to try out a partnership in which Century Arms would help SYS understand American tastes and navigate the legal landscape.

To start, Century Arms executives sent a wish list to SYS engineers of pistol features that would please American gun buyers. The pistols based on these designs sold well, and the profits were reinvested into better engineering.

Canik pistols are now Century Arms’s bestselling gun. And Turkish brands, once marginal, have stacked up multiple industry awards. They have their own fan groups and dedicated forums, and their stands at gun shows bring in loyal crowds.

“I think this is a very beautiful example of a symbiotic relationship,” Adam Ruonala, vice president of marketing and business development for Century Arms, told FP.

The United States has generally prohibited gun imports since 1968, following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination using an Italian Carcano rifle. But this prohibition has only had two major updates since then, and carve-outs remain for guns used for “sporting purposes”—a definition importers quickly found ways of expanding and manipulating to include certain military-style models.

Because of the United States’ patchwork gun laws, some models can be imported but only sold in certain states. Some Turkish semi-automatic pistols are banned in a handful of states because of their large magazine capacity, but dealers simply sell the same gun there with smaller magazines. (Some models, such as several by Austria’s Glock, can even be converted into fully automatic weapons with a cheap but illegal switching device.)

Even guns that fail the “sporting purposes” import test can eventually be sold in the United States. One way of doing this is for a gun maker to import the parts and assemble them locally with a minimum number of U.S.-made parts. The other way is for the foreign company to open a factory in the United States to bypass the compliance process entirely.

In 2022, when its new pistol model did not pass the import test, SYS subsidiary Canik USA decided to build its first U.S. factory in Florida and bypass import rules altogether. The factory, which opened in December, has started production with this Canik pistol model and will eventually branch out to heavy machine guns and medium-caliber cannons.

With this move, SYS joins other foreign companies that have onshored production, including Germany’s Sig Sauer, Austria’s Glock, Israel’s IWI, and Brazil’s Taurus. By opening American factories, these companies now have better odds of winning big U.S. government contracts and an easier process for making military-style models, whose sale and manufacture are often much less controlled at U.S. bases than in their home countries.

This onshoring not only deflates companies’ importation figures, but it also obscures the fact that revenues generated in U.S. headquarters eventually cycle back to these companies’ home countries—and their national defense industries.

Last year, SYS brought in $190 million, more than three times the peak amount of U.S. security assistance to Turkey. Washington reduced this assistance in 2020 as it blocked arms exports and sanctioned Turkey for buying a Russian S-400 missile system. Today, even as U.S. defense sanctions remain, American gun buyers are still, in a way, helping fund Turkish companies’ military weapons production, such as SYS’s cannons and turrets and Sarsilmaz’s drone systems and killer robots.

Turkey avoids selling such conventional arms to U.N.-sanctioned countries—with some exceptions—but its small arms sales are tougher to track and regulate. Top gun-producing countries such as the United States and Germany report their firearms sales regularly and even monitor where they end up to help crack down on trafficking; Turkey does not. It also has not yet ratified the U.N.’s Arms Trade Treaty, which bans the sale of both conventional and small arms to countries where there is a “substantial risk” that they will be used in human rights violations.

Total Turkish firearms sales abroad are therefore unknown, but SYS and Sarsilmaz reports show that Turkish handguns have been sold to police and military forces in Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, and the Philippines. They have also shown up in smuggled stockpiles in embargoed countries such as Burkina Faso, Chad, and Libya, according to Interpol and U.N. reports.

Turkish semi-automatic shotguns have also dominated legal gun sales in various conflict areas. Miles Vining, a defense consultant who previously researched small arms in the Middle East, said that he saw Turkish shotguns “all over the place” in Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, and Syria. He said that to criminal actors and insurgents, buying these guns is a “no-brainer” because of their low price and accessibility, and because they have military-esque features such as pistol grips and collapsible buttstocks.

“They occupy a big part of these markets because oftentimes they’re some of the only legal firearms that civilians can have per the books,” Vining said. Not only do these authoritarian countries impose strict gun control on their populations, but arms embargoes prevent them from buying guns from abroad, with the exception of shotguns, whose sale is legal almost everywhere.

The spread of cheap Turkish guns—to militaries, rebel groups, and criminal gangs around the world—may stem just as much from weak trafficking enforcement as from weak gun control in the United States, which has lifted these brands’ prestige and profits. Tightening U.S. gun laws is certainly more straightforward than tightening international regulation; however, it has proved elusive even to leaders who want to make changes.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, however, might be the first in more than three decades to shake up the flow of foreign guns. In Trump’s first term, the associate deputy director of the ATF had proposed bringing the “sporting” category up to date with action sports, which currently embrace AR-15s and AK-47s.

But this time around, Trump’s presidency may end up upsetting U.S. gun makers more than it rewards them. The ATF is expecting dramatic slashes to its budget, personnel, and purview, perhaps even closure. This may cause a de facto green light for all gun imports, but more likely confusion and backlog for those awaiting arrival.

Moreover, ongoing trade uncertainty is forcing globalized firearms supply chains to untangle themselves from important steel and parts importers, including Canada, China, and Mexico, which will likely drive prices up and sales down. Amid the prospect of uneven worldwide tariffs, the price of European and American firearms stand to climb, just as Turkish guns—which expect only a baseline 10 percent tariff and are made of locally produced steel—are positioned to keep prices low.

While Trump may hope that tariffs will onshore foreign gun manufacturing, they may instead shift the advantage to gun makers less affected by rising costs and relocations. If that is the case, then Turkish companies will not only weather the trade war, but they may also emerge with an even wider lead.

Brazil’s agri exports to Egypt rise 91.4%

Data released by Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock show that the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were the top Arab clients of Brazil’s agribusiness. Exports to the Middle East and Africa grew.

Brazilian agribusiness exports to Egypt reached USD 3.3 billion last year, a 91.4% increase compared to 2023, according to information from the Latin American giant’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock released on Wednesday (8). Overall, Brazilian agribusiness exports grossed USD 164.4 billion in 2024, a 1.3% decrease compared to 2023. This represents the second-best performance in the historical series.

According to the ministry’s information, the decline is due to the drop in the value of exported products last year compared to 2023, including soybeans, corn, sugar, beef, cotton, chicken, and pork. Regarding Egypt, the detailed report released by ministry indicated that the largest growth in the value of imports of Brazilian products was recorded in the purchases of corn, raw cane sugar, soybeans, and unprocessed tobacco. Egypt alone accounted for 2% of Brazil’s agribusiness exports.

..."The goods these prisoners produce wind up in the supply chains of a dizzying array of products found in most American kitchens, from Frosted Flakes cereal and Ball Park hot dogs to Gold Medal flour, Coca-Cola and Riceland rice. They are on the shelves of virtually every supermarket in the country, including Kroger, Target, Aldi and Whole Foods. And some goods are exported, including to countries that have had products blocked from entering the U.S. for using forced or prison labor.

Many of the companies buying directly from prisons are violating their own policies against the use of such labor. But it’s completely legal, dating back largely to the need for labor to help rebuild the South’s shattered economy after the Civil War. Enshrined in the Constitution by the 13th Amendment, slavery and involuntary servitude are banned – except as punishment for a crime.

That clause is currently being challenged on the federal level, and efforts to remove similar language from state constitutions are expected to reach the ballot in about a dozen states this year.

Some prisoners work on the same plantation soil where slaves harvested cotton, tobacco and sugarcane more than 150 years ago, with some present-day images looking eerily similar to the past. In Louisiana, which has one of the country’s highest incarceration rates, men working on the “farm line” still stoop over crops stretching far into the distance.

Willie Ingram picked everything from cotton to okra during his 51 years in the state penitentiary, better known as Angola.

During his time in the fields, he was overseen by armed guards on horseback and recalled seeing men, working with little or no water, passing out in triple-digit heat. Some days, he said, workers would throw their tools in the air to protest, despite knowing the potential consequences.

“They’d come, maybe four in the truck, shields over their face, billy clubs, and they’d beat you right there in the field. They beat you, handcuff you and beat you again,” said Ingram, who received a life sentence after pleading guilty to a crime he said he didn’t commit. He was told he would serve 10 ½ years and avoid a possible death penalty, but it wasn’t until 2021 that a sympathetic judge finally released him. He was 73.

The number of people behind bars in the United States started to soar in the 1970s just as Ingram entered the system, disproportionately hitting people of color. Now, with about 2 million people locked up, U.S. prison labor from all sectors has morphed into a multibillion-dollar empire, extending far beyond the classic images of prisoners stamping license plates, working on road crews or battling wildfires.

Though almost every state has some kind of farming program, agriculture represents only a small fraction of the overall prison workforce. Still, an analysis of data amassed by the AP from correctional facilities nationwide traced nearly $200 million worth of sales of farmed goods and livestock to businesses over the past six years – a conservative figure that does not include tens of millions more in sales to state and government entities. Much of the data provided was incomplete, though it was clear that the biggest revenues came from sprawling operations in the South and leasing out prisoners to companies.

Corrections officials and other proponents note that not all work is forced and that prison jobs save taxpayers money. For example, in some cases, the food produced is served in prison kitchens or donated to those in need outside. They also say workers are learning skills that can be used when they’re released and given a sense of purpose, which could help ward off repeat offenses. In some places, it allows prisoners to also shave time off their sentences. And the jobs provide a way to repay a debt to society, they say.

While most critics don’t believe all jobs should be eliminated, they say incarcerated people should be paid fairly, treated humanely and that all work should be voluntary. Some note that even when people get specialized training, like firefighting, their criminal records can make it almost impossible to get hired on the outside.

“They are largely uncompensated, they are being forced to work, and it’s unsafe. They also aren’t learning skills that will help them when they are released,” said law professor Andrea Armstrong, an expert on prison labor at Loyola University New Orleans. “It raises the question of why we are still forcing people to work in the fields.”

A Deep Dive into Indirect Taxation in India: What You Need to Know

Introduction: The Growing Relevance of Indirect Taxation in India

Over the years, indirect taxation in India has become a cornerstone of the country’s fiscal system. Unlike direct taxes that are charged on income or profits, indirect taxes are levied on goods and services. These taxes are collected by businesses and passed on to the government, with the burden ultimately falling on consumers. This makes indirect taxes an integral part of every transaction across various industries in India.

Key Forms of Indirect Taxes in India

India has witnessed significant transformation in its indirect tax regime, especially after the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017. Let’s explore the major types of indirect taxes that are in practice today:

1. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

GST is the most comprehensive form of indirect taxation in India. It combines several earlier taxes like service tax, VAT, and central excise into one unified system. It is divided into:

CGST – for intra-state sales collected by the central government.

SGST – for intra-state sales collected by state governments.

IGST – for inter-state sales, shared by both central and state governments.

2. Customs Duty

This tax applies to goods that are imported into or exported from the country. It includes components like Basic Customs Duty and safeguard duties to protect domestic industries.

3. Excise Duty (Limited Use)

Excise duty is still applied to specific products such as petroleum and tobacco, although most goods now fall under GST.

Why Indirect Taxes Matter in India

Essential Source of Revenue

Indirect taxation in India contributes significantly to the government's income, ensuring funding for public infrastructure and welfare programs.

Drives Consumer Behavior

High taxes on luxury and harmful goods like tobacco help influence consumption patterns in a socially responsible manner.

Uniform Tax Environment

The GST system has created a uniform tax structure across the nation, replacing complex multi-tax systems and enhancing compliance through transparency.

Common Issues in the Current System

Despite its benefits, indirect taxation poses several challenges:

Frequent GST updates create confusion among businesses.

High compliance burden, especially for MSMEs.

Complex product categorization, sometimes leading to tax disputes.

What Lies Ahead for Indirect Taxation in India

With India moving towards greater digitization, the future of indirect taxation in India looks promising. Technologies like e-invoicing, real-time data sharing, and AI-driven audits are making tax administration smarter and more efficient. Expansion of GST to include fuel and electricity could simplify the tax system even further.

Conclusion

Understanding the structure and significance of indirect taxation in India is essential for businesses and consumers alike. As the system evolves, keeping up with the latest changes will help ensure better compliance and informed decision-making. Indirect taxes not only fund national growth but also shape the way trade and commerce function in modern India.

Asian Economies Scramble to Appease Trump as U.S. President Ratchets Up Tariff Threats

President Donald Trump announced plans to impose reciprocal tariffs, matching those levied on U.S. goods by respective countries, potentially taking effect as soon as Tuesday.

According to Barclays, most Asian economies had higher average import tariffs than the U.S. as of 2023, based on World Trade Organization (WTO) data.

Analysts caution that even if some economies avoid immediate tariffs, the risk remains high for future measures.

As the threat of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs looms, several Asian economies with substantial trade surpluses with the U.S. are rushing to negotiate favorable terms to avoid higher duties.

Trump stated on Friday that he would soon unveil tariffs designed to match the duties other nations impose on U.S. exports. While he did not specify which countries would be affected, he hinted at a broad effort to eliminate U.S. trade deficits.

Although specifics remain uncertain, analysts at Barclays suggested on Monday that most emerging Asian economies will likely see increased U.S. import tariffs, except for Singapore and Hong Kong, with which the U.S. maintains trade surpluses.

According to WTO estimates, India had the highest simple average tariff rate in Asia at 17% for most-favored-nation (MFN) status countries, while the U.S. tariff stood at 3.3%. The U.S. extends MFN status to most major economies except Russia.

Trade Surpluses and Tariff Exposure

Based on U.S. Census Bureau data, the countries with the highest trade surpluses with the U.S. last year were:

China: $295.4 billion

Vietnam: $123.5 billion

Taiwan: $74 billion

Japan: $68.5 billion

South Korea: $66 billion

Stefan Angrick, senior economist at Moody’s Analytics, warned that even if some nations dodge immediate tariffs, Washington’s stance could shift, making them vulnerable to future duties.

Vietnam Faces Economic Fallout

Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable economies due to its significant trade surplus and Chinese investments. The country’s surplus with the U.S. grew by nearly 18% last year to a record high, while its MFN average tariff stood at 9.4%.

Tariffs on specific imports to Vietnam include:

Beverages and tobacco: 45.5%

Sugars, confectionery, fruits, and vegetables: 14%-34%

Clothing and transport equipment: 14%-34%

Trump previously referred to Vietnam as "almost the single worst abuser" of trade practices in 2019. While he has not made recent remarks on the country since his re-election, Vietnamese officials have sought to appease Washington by increasing purchases of U.S. aircraft, liquified natural gas (LNG), and other goods.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed Cabinet members to prepare for a global trade war scenario.

India Prepares Concessions

India may face steep reciprocal tariffs due to its significantly higher import duties compared to the U.S. Estimates suggest that U.S. tariffs on India could rise from 3% to over 15%.

To mitigate risks, New Delhi recently lowered tariffs on:

Motorcycles

Electronics

Critical minerals

Lithium-ion batteries

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to discuss further tariff reductions and increased energy and defense purchases from the U.S. during his upcoming meeting with Trump.

During Trump’s first term, relations with Modi were relatively warm, but the former president has since criticized India’s trade policies, labeling it a "very big abuser" of tariffs.

Some experts speculate that Trump may revisit discussions on a U.S.-India free trade agreement, an initiative reportedly dismissed by the Biden administration.

Japan Maintains Favorable Trade Status

Japan appears to have secured a favorable relationship with Trump, avoiding immediate tariff threats. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba recently concluded a visit to Washington, where he negotiated trade agreements.

Key developments:

Japan agreed to import more U.S. natural gas and expressed interest in an Alaskan LNG pipeline project.

Instead of allowing Nippon Steel to acquire U.S. Steel, Japan proposed investing heavily in the U.S. steel industry.

Japan remains the largest foreign investor in the U.S., pledging to expand investments to $1 trillion from $783.3 billion in 2023.

Analysts suggest Japan may avoid the aggressive trade tactics the U.S. has deployed against Canada, Mexico, and China. James Brady, Vice President at Teneo, described Japan as one of Trump’s most favored nations in trade relations.

China Braces for Retaliatory Measures

China remains the primary target of Trump’s new tariff policies. Last week, the U.S. imposed an additional 10% blanket tariff on Chinese goods, while Canada and Mexico received exemptions.

Beijing retaliated on Monday with new tariffs on select U.S. imports. Reports suggest China attempted to arrange a direct call between President Xi Jinping and Trump, but negotiations failed.

Outlook

As Trump moves forward with reciprocal tariff policies, Asian economies are scrambling to adjust. Vietnam and India face the highest risks, while Japan appears to have secured a strategic advantage. China’s trade war with the U.S. shows no signs of de-escalating, and further economic tensions remain likely in the coming months.

According to a new report published by UnivDatos Markets Insights, the glycerol market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6% from 2022-2028. The analysis has been segmented into the source (biodiesel, fatty alcohol, fatty acids, and soap); type (crude and refined); end-user (food & beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care & cosmetics, and others); region/country.

The glycerol market report has been aggregated by collecting informative data on various dynamics such as market drivers, restraints, and opportunities. This innovative report makes use of several analyses to get a closer outlook on the market. The market report offers a detailed analysis of the latest industry developments and trending factors in the market that are influencing the market growth. Furthermore, this statistical market research repository estimates the Glycerol market at the global and regional levels.

Market Overview

The myriad properties of glycerol make it one of the crucial raw materials in the manufacturing of processed food & beverage, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and beauty and personal care products. For instance, glycerol is used as an emollient, humectant, solvent, and lubricant in many products in the personal care industry such as toothpaste, mouthwashes, shaving cream, and soaps. Furthermore, due to its hygroscopic properties glycerol is used in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent the drying of creams and ointments. It is also sprayed on tobacco to prevent disintegration due to dryness. As a result, the large and growing market for the aforementioned industries owing to the rising population, disposable income, changing lifestyle, and growing urbanization is transforming the entire landscape, eventually boosting the demand for glycerol.

COVID-19 Impact

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the world and has brought a state of shock to the global economy. The global pandemic has impacted industrial operations in a negative way, which has impacted the demand for glycerol as its highly dependent on industries’ performance.

The global glycerol market report is studied thoroughly with several aspects that would help stakeholders in making their decisions more curated.

Based on type, the market is categorized into crude and refined glycerol.
