Senate Republicans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41950681/trump-once-said-political-career-over-about-john-thune-now-senate-majority-leader-working-with-him-to-pass-gop-agenda">elected Sen. John Thune</a> of South Dakota as the new majority leader Wednesday, succeeding Sen. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell">Mitch McConnell</a> of Kentucky. Thune, who has consistently opposed marijuana legalization, has also criticized efforts to reschedule cannabis and expand the industry&#8217;s access to banking services.
In July, Thune joined fellow GOP lawmakers in a letter challenging the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38880719/biden-announces-monumental-marijuana-rescheduling-doj-to-take-next-steps">Biden administration&#8217;s proposal</a> to reclassify marijuana to Schedule III under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/controlled-substances-act">Controlled Substances Act</a>. The letter argued that the rescheduling lacked sufficient scientific evidence and was &#8220;irresponsible&#8221; given emerging research indicating significant health concerns associated with marijuana use.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Consistent Opposition To Cannabis Reform</h1>
Thune&#8217;s longstanding opposition to marijuana reform, coupled with his new leadership role, indicates there could be challenges ahead for cannabis legalization efforts at the federal level despite President-elect Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40776937/trump-joins-millions-of-americans-who-support-rescheduling-cannabis-weed-industry-responds-to-fo">Trump's comments </a>in which he implied his support for federal cannabis legalization.

Thune's past statements and actions suggest he may continue to resist policy changes aimed at decriminalizing or rescheduling marijuana, as well as initiatives to facilitate banking services for the cannabis industry.
As the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/us/politics/trump-senate-thune-cornyn-scott.html">put it</a>, "Over the years, Mr. Thune has been no automatic yes man to Mr. Trump." But, in view of the president-elect's cabinet choices, which are heavy on yes-men and -women, Thune may fall into line with his colleagues.
That said, some in the cannabis industry are choosing to be optimistic.
"Despite Senator Thune's misguided opinions and policy positions on cannabis up to this point, we're confident that he is capable of evolving on this issue, as have the vast majority of Americans," <a href="https://norml.org/blog/2024/11/13/incoming-senate-majority-leader-has-long-history-opposing-marijuana-policy-reforms/">said</a> NORML political director&nbsp;<a href="https://norml.org/about-norml/staff#mfox">Morgan Fox</a>. 
"While it is extremely doubtful that comprehensive cannabis policy reform will be a priority in the Senate under his leadership, we're hopeful that his record as a level-headed lawmaker means that he will listen to evidence, experience, and the will of the American people, who&nbsp;<a href="https://norml.org/polls/">overwhelmingly want to see federal policy reform</a>." &nbsp;

Unilever PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UL#NYSE">UL</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading relatively flat on Thursday.</a>
The company is reportedly exploring the sale of some of its smaller food brands, including those based in the Netherlands, as part of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37815586/chilling-changes-unilever-to-separate-iconic-ice-cream-brands-in-strategic-shake-up" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategic shift under CEO Hein Schumacher.</a>
The company is looking to streamline its portfolio and refocus on its key power brands, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the discussions.

In addition to its Dutch brands, Unilever is also considering selling smaller food units in the U.K. and other parts of Europe, Reuters added.
This shift in strategy comes amid ongoing tensions with one of its subsidiaries, Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s, which filed a lawsuit against Unilever on Wednesday.
The lawsuit accuses the parent company of attempting to suppress the ice cream maker&#8217;s support for Palestinian refugees and its calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/14/business/ben-and-jerrys-unilever-lawsuit-israel-gaza.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">according </a>to The New York Times.
The legal action deepens a longstanding conflict between the two companies.

The European Commission has penalized a $841 million (797.72 million euros) fine to Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for <a target="_blank" href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_5801" rel="noreferrer noopener">violating EU antitrust laws</a>.
The penalty follows an investigation into Meta's conduct, which found that the company abused its dominant market position by linking its classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, with its primary social media network, Facebook.
The practice forced users into automatic access to Facebook Marketplace, limiting competition by providing the service with an unfair advantage.

The Commission also identified that Meta imposed unfair trading conditions on competing online classified ad providers, leveraging data from Facebook and Instagram ads to benefit its Marketplace service.
The Commission concluded that Meta's actions breached Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), prohibiting the abuse of a dominant market position.
The fine was determined based on the duration and gravity of the violations and the revenue generated by Facebook Marketplace. Meta must cease these practices immediately and avoid similar conduct in the future.
The investigation into Meta's business practices began in June 2021, with formal proceedings initiated by the European Commission. In December 2022, the Commission issued a Statement of Objections, to which Meta responded in June 2023.
Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice President for Competition Policy, stated that Meta integrated Facebook Marketplace with its leading social media platform, Facebook, and set unfair trading conditions for rival online classified ad providers.
Vestager noted that these actions unfairly benefited Facebook Marketplace by giving it a significant advantage over competitors, which violates EU antitrust regulations. Meta is now required to halt these practices immediately.
Meta, in its response, said that they would <a target="_blank" href="https://about.fb.com/news/2024/11/our-response-to-the-european-commissions-decision-on-facebook-marketplace/" rel="noreferrer noopener">appeal the decision</a>. The company said they built the marketplace in response to consumer demand and that the European Commission's decision provides no evidence of competitive harm to rivals or any harm to consumers.&nbsp;
The U.S. Big Tech giants, including Meta Platforms, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Google parent 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 Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), faced scrutiny and penalties from global antitrust regulators for allegedly crushing smaller players by exploiting their undue influence.
In October, Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) won an EU court ruling, intercepting a 1.06 billion euros fine in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41522973/intel-triumphs-in-15-year-legal-battle-eu-court-rejects-record-antitrust-penalty" rel="noreferrer noopener">long-standing antitrust</a> case over chip market dominance.
In September, Google&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40915828/google-wins-1-7b-eu-antitrust-fine-appeal-over-5-year-old-online-search-advertising-case" rel="noreferrer noopener">won its appeal</a> against the European Commission's 1.49 billion euros ($1.66 billion) antitrust fine for anticompetitive practices involving its online search advertising business.
Presidential elect Donald Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41395202/tim-cook-called-to-complain-about-billions-in-eu-fines-imposed-on-apple-says-trump-im-not-going-to-l" rel="noreferrer noopener">discussed antitrust fines</a> imposed on U.S. tech giants during his campaigns. He mentioned a conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook, where Cook highlighted the financial impact of recent EU penalties on Apple.
According to Trump, Cook expressed concern over EU fines totaling $17 billion, including a $15 billion back tax payment and an additional $2 billion antitrust fine.
Trump assured Cook that if elected, he would not allow foreign regulators to exploit American companies, signaling his intent to oppose EU actions targeting U.S. tech firms.
Price Action: META stock is down 0.74% at $575.70 at the last check on Thursday.
