Trump Forces Switzerland to Question Its Love for Farmers
A country whose lush Alpine pastures, cowbells and cheese underpin the national identity, and whose agricultural lobby wields outsized influence to match, is in danger of a tough reckoning over what that's worth when economic prosperity is at stake.

Report – Inter Milan Ready To Raise Offer For Atalanta Talisman To €45M
Inter Milan are reportedly ready to raise their offer to sign Atalanta and Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman to €45 million. This according to the Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter have already had one offer for Ademola Lookman rejected. Last week, the Nerazzurri put a bid of around €40 million on the table for the Nigerian international. They hoped that this would be enough to quickly seal a deal. However, Atalanta rejected this first offer. Reportedly, La Dea are holding out for somewhere in the region of €50 million. Inter Milan To Increase Ademola Lookman Offer To €45M BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Atalanta's rejection has not deterred Inter, however. This coming week, the Nerazzurri will make an improved offer. According to the Corriere dello Sport, this new offer will arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Inter's intention is to wrap things up as soon as possible. They do not want their pursuit of Lookman to turn into a long transfer soap opera that goes on for much of August. Therefore, Inter will present a new offer worth around €45 million, according to the Corriere dello Sport.

Fabrizio Romano: Everton in ‘advanced talks' to hijack Liverpool's move for €50m forward
Everton Target Malick Fofana in Bid to Boost Attacking Options Advanced Talks Underway for Belgian Talent Everton are pressing forward in their pursuit of Olympique Lyonnais winger Malick Fofana, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Talks are now at an advanced stage, with direct contact established between the Toffees and the French club over a potential summer move. The 20-year-old Belgian international appears poised to leave Lyon this window, as the club navigates financial pressures following their reinstatement to Ligue 1 by the DNCG. Fofana, who has already attracted interest from Liverpool and Bayern Munich, is one of Lyon's more valuable assets and now sits firmly on Everton's radar. The Merseyside club are looking to bolster their wide options and see the versatile attacker as a key addition ahead of the new Premier League campaign. Relegation Reversal Spurs Lyon Fire Sale Lyon's financial constraints have become a central theme of their summer business. The club's reprieve from relegation came with strict conditions from the DNCG, requiring them to raise funds through player sales. Fofana, whose development at OL has not gone unnoticed across Europe, now finds himself at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war. Personal Terms and Player Preference Still Pending While Everton have established contact with Fofana's representatives, personal terms are yet to be finalised. A fee had reportedly been agreed between Lyon and Nottingham Forest earlier this window, but Fofana declined the move. His willingness to join Everton remains uncertain. The Toffees now face a crucial period in convincing the player of their project, especially with clubs like Liverpool and Bayern also showing interest. Strategic Move or Risky Gamble? At just 20 years of age, Fofana would represent both a long-term investment and a potential game-changer for David Moyes' side. Everton are in urgent need of pace and creativity in wide areas – two qualities the Belgian has shown in flashes during his time in Ligue 1 and on the European stage. Whether they can land their man may depend on how compelling a pitch they present in the coming days. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From an Everton fan's point of view, the move for Malick Fofana feels like a bold but sensible step toward modernising a squad that's cried out for dynamism. The club has lacked real flair on the flanks since Richarlison's departure, and Fofana, with his ability to beat players and break lines, could be the injection of energy needed. However, there are understandable reservations. Fofana is young, largely unproven in top-flight football outside of France, and might need time to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League. Fans will remember past gambles on potential – names like Moise Kean and Jean-Philippe Gbamin – which didn't quite work out. That said, this feels like a different scenario. Fofana turned down Forest, which suggests he's making decisions based on football, not finances. There's also the question of whether David Moyes can fully utilise a player like Fofana, who thrives in a more expansive system. Moyes' teams often lean on structure over flair, but with the club aiming to progress, perhaps this is a sign of stylistic evolution. If Everton can seal the deal and give him the platform to grow, it could be one of the smarter deals of the summer. But if he opts for a club like Bayern or Liverpool, fans will understand – and perhaps rue – another opportunity missed.

USDA to relocate HQ in part to Northern Colorado, Congressman Gabe Evans and cattlemen celebrate
The United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA, will close down a major portion of its current headquarters in Washington, D.C., moving some of the staffers to Northern Colorado. Fort Collins was selected as one of five locations around the country where the headquarters will be relocated. "At first blush, everything about having offices out here makes sense," said Kenny Rogers, a cattleman in Yuma. Rogers has been a cattleman for decades, at times serving in leadership roles among his peers. He said the announcement of the partial move to Fort Collins was a surprise to him, but one he welcomes. "Getting boots on the ground where the action is occurring, rather than in an office in Washington, D.C., that is not a bad thing," Rogers said. "If you are USDA, this is where the action is, right around this area." Congressman Gabe Evans said he learned about the USDA's plans on Thursday. "It was great news for us to find out about," Evans said. Evans, who represents a large portion of Northern Colorado, said this change will be beneficial not only for his rural constituents but also for the surrounding area near the office. The office is currently located in the center of Fort Collins near the CSU veterinary sciences school. "We are a massive agricultural producing region here. In Colorado as a whole, but specifically in Northern Colorado," Evans said. "(By moving to Fort Collins) they are closer to the farmers and ranchers. They are closer to the people doing the boots on the ground hard work of producing America's food supply. That can only help our agricultural producers by closing that gap between the bureaucracy and the actual farmers and ranchers," Evans said. The USDA has a wide reach of oversight, including the U.S. Forest Service and even nutrition in schools. While the exact number of jobs moving to Fort Collins has not yet been announced, Evans said he is hoping the change will benefit urban and rural parts of Colorado. "It is a huge boost to our agricultural producers, and it is a boost to the region, honestly. That is more good paying jobs that will be coming to Northern Colorado," Evans said. Both Evans and Rogers noted that the Bureau of Land Management's headquarters was relocated to Colorado years ago, bringing more jobs and access to Colorado. Evans said he hopes the relative proximity of both the BLM and USDA in Colorado will also help cut down fire risks by creating a symbiotic relationship when it comes to ridding of fuels in the Colorado mountains. Rogers said he also hoped the change would save taxpayers money. "I would assume square footage office rental is much less than it is out in D.C.," Rogers said. The other cities selected for USDA offices were Indianapolis, Kansas City, Salt Lake City and Raleigh.
