(CNSNews.com) – As pushback continues against Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop sales in the territories disputed between Israel and the Palestinians, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday set in motion a process that could result in the state being prohibited from buying any assets in the ice cream maker’s British-based parent company.
In Texas, meanwhile, the state comptroller of public accounts announced he has instructed his staff to determine if the actions by Ben & Jerry’s and its owner, the consumer goods conglomerate Unilever, would require a bar on the Lone Star State entering into contracts with them.
