SANTIAGO, April 27 (Reuters) - Chilean President Sebastian Pinera on Tuesday abandoned his challenge to an opposition-led bill allowing citizens to draw down a third tranche of their pensions, saying he would sign it into law.
Earlier in the day, the country’s Constitutional Court rejected a bid by Pinera to block the fresh drawdown on pensions, saying it would not overrule Congress, which gave final approval to the project on Friday.
Pinera had also sought to head off the bill by announcing his own version on Sunday night that provided for repayments and taxation on some withdrawals, but members of Congress made clear they would oppose it.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, April 14 (Reuters) - Haiti’s Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe announced his resignation on Wednesday amid worsening gang violence and political turmoil in the poorest country in the Americas.
Jouthe, who had been in the role for just over a year, announced on Twitter around 1 a.m. local that he was stepping down, saying it had been an honor to serve his Caribbean country as prime minister. He did not say why he was resigning.
Haitian President Jovenel Moise, himself facing calls from the opposition to step down, shortly thereafter confirmed Jouthe’s resignation. Moise said on Twitter he had appointed his Foreign Minister Claude Joseph as interim premier.
If vehicle maker CNH Industrial decides to sell its truck unit Iveco to China's FAW the move would have to be approved first by the Italian government, the industry minister said on Thursday.

QUITO, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Leftist Ecuadorean presidential candidate Andres Arauz said in an interview on Wednesday that he will not comply with the conditions of a financing package negotiated with the International Monetary Fund if he is elected.
Arauz, 35, has promised a return to the socialist policies of his mentor, former President Rafael Correa. Ecuadorean bonds have been trading lower for months on concerns that the election may swing the country’s policies back to the left.
“The agreement with the IMF under the current conditions. will not be complied with, because they undermine Ecuadorean families and a program of economic growth in Ecuador,” he said in a telephone interview with Reuters. The IMF did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
