U.S. warns Pirelli on possible sale restrictions over Chinese investors, Bloomberg says
Pirelli declined to comment, while the U.S. Commerce Department was not immediately reachable for comment.
Italy's Pirelli, whose largest shareholder with a 37% stake is Chinese state group Sinochem, has developed technology allowing data from its so-called Cyber Tyres to be collected and transferred in real time to the vehicle.
The U.S. is cracking down on Chinese technology in the automotive industry, banning key software and hardware from Chinese-controlled companies in connected vehicles on U.S. roads. Software prohibitions take effect in the 2027 model year, those on hardware in 2029.
The informal advisory to Pirelli was outlined in a letter dated April 25 by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, Bloomberg said.
It added that the letter, sent in response to a request for an advisory opinion by Pirelli, said automakers that incorporate Cyber Tyre technology into their vehicles would likely need to apply for a specific authorization to sell them in the U.S.
Pirelli and its second-largest investor Camfin, the vehicle of Italian businessman Marco Tronchetti Provera, have entered a dispute with Sinochem over the tyremaker's governance, claiming Sinochem's leading shareholding position was hindering the group's ability to expand its business in the U.S.
Pirelli makes around 25% of its revenue in North America, which it mostly serves through plants in Mexico, South America and Europe, although it also runs a smaller facility in the U.S. state of Georgia.
Last week CEO Andrea Casaluci said in an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera that Pirelli was in a risky situation after Sinochem rejected a proposal by the company to solve its governance issues.

I'm a single mom who hates cooking. I always keep these Costco items stocked for effortless meals.
As a business owner and mom who hates cooking, Costco has become my go-to for low-effort meals. We're constantly running between school and sports practice, so dinner needs to hit the table fast. Some of my favorite items include Costco's street-taco kit and pre-seasoned salmon filets. As a business owner and mom of two, my workdays vary wildly. Some are packed with travel and meetings, and others are more relaxed. No matter the pace, Costco is my go-to for meals that feel homemade with minimal effort. I've been shopping at the warehouse for 13 years, and have found these 10 staples help keep our fridge stocked, our routine calm, and our meals balanced. This Caesar salad kit comes together quickly and lasts for days. I love heading to Costco's prepared food section and picking up this Caesar salad with dressing and croutons. It can be a full lunch when I'm working from home, or a tasty side to pair with dinner. You'll always find Barilla pasta in our kitchen. Barilla pasta is a pantry staple that disappears quickly, so I always make sure to repurchase some when I head to Costco. It's incredibly versatile, and can be used in everything from hearty meals to a simple after-school butter pasta. Rao's marinara sauce is made with real Italian tomatoes. Rao's marinara sauce is my go-to because it's all-natural. It contains no added sugar and the primary ingredient is whole Italian tomatoes. I stock up and serve it with pasta and a quick side salad for easy late-night dinners. I can have dinner ready in one step with these pre-seasoned salmon fillets. These generously portioned fillets come pre-seasoned with butter and herbs, and just need to be popped in the oven. We make the most of the leftovers by using them in tacos, giving us two meals from one prep. The beef loin top sirloin is great for grilling. Costco's beef loin top sirloin are a weekend favorite. They're delicious grilled, and the leftovers can be used in rice bowls. It's like a restaurant meal without the hefty price tag. We add asparagus to our meals to up our veggie intake. We love adding a side of veggies to our protein, and this bag of asparagus can stretch across multiple meals. We like it roasted alongside steak or chopped into eggs. Sliced mango makes a great snack. Costco has a great selection of fresh produce. These mango slices are delicious on their own as a healthy snack or diced in a quick mango salsa to pair with tacos. Costco's croissants are so versatile. I always like to pick up a package of Costco's butter croissants. They're delicious on their own with coffee, make excellent breakfast sandwiches with eggs, and are the perfect base for turkey sandwiches for lunch. This street-taco kit has dinner ready in minutes. This taco kit includes tortillas, slaw, salsa, and your choice of seasoned protein — grilled chicken or shrimp — all for under $20. It's a dinner that's easy, interactive, and customizable. As someone from Maryland, I approve of Phillips jumbo lump crab meat.

Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom
Utah is betting that the 2034 Winter Olympics can do more than bring the world to Salt Lake City. It wants the Games to jumpstart a lasting economic transformation. Local governments and agencies issued more than $4 billion of municipal bonds this year, fueling a surge of development across Salt Lake City, nearby ski resorts and the booming tech corridor to the south. Those debt issuances mark a 140% increase compared what Utah-based borrowers sold during the same period last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
