<p><strong>BYD Co., Ltd. </strong>(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), the Chinese new energy vehicle (NEV) giant, has reportedly expanded its global footprint by entering the Ethiopian market.</p>
<p>On December 21, the company partnered with Ethiopian distributor Moenco, a subsidiary of the <strong>Inchcape Group</strong>, to launch its brand in the East African country, CnEV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/12/24/byd-enters-ethiopia/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.</p>

<p>The brand unveiling, held in Addis Ababa, introduced five of BYD&#8217;s battery electric vehicle (BEV) models, including the compact Seagull hatchback and the Tang SUV, marking a significant step in BYD&#8217;s efforts to expand its presence in Africa.</p>
<p>This move comes on the heels of BYD&#8217;s recent entry into<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42485764/tesla-rival-byd-enters-omani-market-launches-five-ev-models-as-part-of-gulf-expansion-report" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the Omani automotive market</a>.

<p>Authorities shut down the workers&#8217; lodgings and issued a statement in cooperation with BYD and construction contractor Jinjiang Construction Brazil Ltd.

KLA Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

<p>Kevin O'Leary, known for his straightforward attitude on Shark Tank, recently stated that you don't have to love Donald Trump to appreciate his policies. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAEDN5TLnmY">appearance</a> on Fox Business, O'Leary praised the president-elect&#8217;s pro-business strategies, saying they are exactly what America needs to boost the economy and create jobs.</p>
<p>O'Leary is working on a massive project in Alberta, Canada – supposedly the world's largest AI data center. However, his attention is equally focused on the U.S., where he believes Trump's policies could fast-track similar ventures. Trump recently promised expedited permits for large infrastructure projects, something O'Leary says would be a game-changer.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"><strong> </strong><strong>for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>"If he can deliver that," O'Leary said, "it's going to bring capital back to the United States." He explained that permitting delays often scare off investors and stall big projects. By cutting red tape, Trump's plan could open the floodgates for investment, particularly in the energy and tech sectors, per O&#8217;Leary.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42486613/kevin-oleary-has-recently-noted-the-increasing-demand-for-data-centers-describing-them-as-a-notable-combination-of-real-estate-and-technology-with-considerable-potential">AI data center</a> he is building in Canada will rely on natural gas turbines for power, an interim solution until nuclear energy becomes more viable. He is also exploring similar projects in West Virginia and North Dakota but says U.S. permitting delays are a major hurdle.</p>
<p>According to O'Leary, Trump's promise to simplify the permitting process is exactly what is needed to turn these ideas into reality.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jobs and Economic Growth</h2>
<p>O'Leary also believes that policies promoting infrastructure and energy projects will create significant jobs. "This is what we need," he said. "You can still hate Trump, but you've got to love his policies because that will bring jobs to these states."</p>
<p>O'Leary argues that these initiatives can breathe new life into local economies by cutting through bureaucracy and encouraging private investment. He is particularly optimistic about how such policies can attract capital, boost industries and ultimately create long-term stability.</p>
<p>Critics fear that cutting corners on permits could result in problems for the environment and public safety. Some contend that these rules prioritize corporations over regular citizens. O&#8217;Leary, however, is adamant and emphasizes the necessity of bold action to boost businesses and lessen supposed dependency on imported energy.</p>

<p>O'Leary is focused on outcomes. For him, it is not about politics – it is about what works. Whether AI data centers in Canada or energy projects in the U.S., he sees Trump's business-first approach as a blueprint for success.</p>
<p>In October, O'Leary also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41750727/kevin-oleary-supports-elon-musks-2-trillion-plan-to-slash-government-spending-with-trumps-backing-it">weighed in on Elon Musk's ambitious $2 trillion plan</a> to slash federal spending. Backed by Trump, Musk is proposed to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Trump&#8217;s second term. O'Leary called for Musk's cost-cutting expertise to be unleashed across federal agencies. "Let them in there and come back with a shopping list of ideas and let's debate it. Why not? We need to find some savings," he said.</p>
