🇯🇵🇺🇸 Japan's biggest bank, SoftBank, dumped its Nvidia stocks worth 5.83 billion$

SoftBank Chief Financial Officer Yoshimitsu Goto characterized the Nvidia sale as part of the company’s broader asset monetization strategy rather than a negative view of the chipmaker’s prospects. The firm requires approximately $30.5 billion in capital for fourth-quarter investments, representing more funding activity than the previous two years combined.

The massive capital requirement reflects SoftBank’s determination to establish dominant positions across the artificial intelligence value chain. Beyond the OpenAI commitment, the company plans $6.5 billion for semiconductor firm Ampere and other strategic AI investments through its Vision Fund platform.

This asset rotation strategy allows SoftBank to maintain financial strength while pursuing aggressive investment opportunities in rapidly evolving AI markets.

SoftBank’s artificial intelligence strategy extends beyond software applications into physical AI implementations through robotics and autonomous systems. The company recently completed its $5.4 billion acquisition of ABB Robotics, establishing a major presence in industrial automation and manufacturing intelligence.

"US suspends arms deals with Europe worth billions of dollars. Arms supplies to Ukraine at risk

According to the Axios portal, the US State Department was forced to suspend arms deals worth more than $5 billion due to the shutdown. The suspension of supplies may affect Ukraine's provisioning.

“This really harms both our allies and partners, as well as the American industry that must provide many critically important systems abroad,” a senior State Department official told Axios in an interview.

The suspension concerns AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, Aegis missile defense systems, and Himars MLRS intended for Denmark, Croatia, and Poland. The final destination of the supplies is unclear, but US arms deals with NATO allies are often used to support Ukraine.

Reason for the delay — legislative procedures and staff shortages
According to the Arms Export Control Act, Congress is required to review such deals. However, many State Department employees responsible for informing Congressional committees and completing procedures have been sent on forced leave, causing the delay. Republicans blame Democrats for the ongoing shutdown.

“Democrats are blocking important arms sales, including to NATO allies, weakening American industry and jeopardizing the security of the US and our partners,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said in a comment to Axios.

The situation is particularly acute because China and Russia continue to act without restrictions. In an interview with Axios, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch (Republican, Idaho) said:

“Their efforts to undermine the US and our allies are made easier while our industry suffers and allies’ needs remain unmet.”

"Unknown drones spotted in Belgium — over the airport and nuclear power plant

On the evening of November 9, drones were seen over Liège Airport. Because of this, air traffic was suspended for about an hour. Then, around 10 p.m., several flying devices also appeared over the Doel nuclear power plant. According to the Belga agency, there were three drones.

The energy company Engie meanwhile reported that the drones did not pose a threat. As its representative Hellen Smits stated, their detection did not affect the operation of the nuclear plant.

“The competent units continue to closely monitor the situation,” she assured the RTBF channel.

Just a few days ago, drones were also spotted over the Kleine-Brogel military base — a facility used by both Belgium and NATO. According to unconfirmed reports, this airbase is one of the storage sites for American nuclear weapons in Europe.

📌 The operations of Brussels and Liège airports have already been repeatedly suspended due to the appearance of drones. Last week, the German Ministry of Defense reported that the Bundeswehr is assisting Belgium in countering drones at Belgium’s request."
