US and China to talk in Stockholm on trade with eye on Trump-Xi summit later this year

Top Officials Meet to Discuss Tariffs, Trade Imbalances, and Fentanyl Controls Ahead of Leader Summit
Top officials from two major economies are scheduled to meet in Stockholm to discuss maintaining current tariff levels and preparing for a potential summit between their leaders later in the year. The talks aim to address longstanding trade imbalances, market access, industrial overcapacity, and chemical controls related to fentanyl production. Previous rounds have resulted in a status quo of tariffs, with the importing country maintaining a 30% rate and the responding country a 10% rate, alongside specific fentanyl-related tariffs. The discussions may also cover broader geopolitical issues, including energy purchases from sanctioned countries and possible security concessions. While tariff reductions are unlikely at this stage, the meeting is viewed as a critical step toward a more comprehensive trade agreement and easing tensions between the two nations.

US-EU trade deal wards off further escalation but will raise costs for companies, consumers

US and EU agree on 15% tariff for most European goods, excluding strategic items, under new trade deal
The United States and the European Union have reached a trade agreement imposing a 15% tariff on most European goods imported into the U.S., reducing the threat of a previously proposed 30% tariff. The deal excludes certain strategic goods from tariffs and involves the EU purchasing significant amounts of U.S. energy and investing heavily in the U.S. However, key issues remain unresolved, including tariffs on steel and pharmaceuticals, and specific details on agricultural tariffs and investment sources. The higher tariffs are expected to increase costs for U.S. consumers and reduce profits for European exporters, potentially slowing economic growth. The agreement maintains market access and provides some stability but leaves uncertainty due to incomplete terms. Reactions vary, with some welcoming the avoidance of escalation and others warning of negative impacts on export industries, particularly automotive companies affected by prior tariffs.

US-EU deal sets 15% tariff on most goods, averts threat of trade war with global shock

US-EU Agree on 15% Uniform Tariff with Key Exemptions to Avoid Trade War and Boost Energy, Investments
The United States and the European Union reached a trade agreement establishing a uniform 15% tariff on most goods to prevent the imposition of higher tariffs that threatened to trigger a trade war. The deal includes commitments by the EU to purchase substantial U.S. energy supplies and increase investments, alongside a major military equipment acquisition. Certain strategic products, such as aircraft, chemicals, generic drugs, semiconductor equipment, and some agricultural goods, will remain exempt from tariffs. The agreement requires further negotiation and approval by EU member states and lawmakers. The framework aims to provide stability and predictability in transatlantic trade, with both parties emphasizing fairness and open market access. The agreement averts imminent tariff imposition deadlines and potential retaliatory measures that could have significantly impacted various sectors on both sides.

US, EU reach an 'across the board' agreement on tariffs

US and EU Agree on 15% Tariff Cap to Prevent Punitive Import Taxes and Retaliatory Trade Measures
The United States and the European Union reached a comprehensive tariff agreement following high-level negotiations aimed at preventing the imposition of punitive import taxes scheduled by the U.S. The deal addresses longstanding trade imbalances and aims to avoid retaliatory tariffs from the EU on American goods. The agreement was finalized shortly before a firm U.S. deadline for tariff enforcement, which had threatened to impose rates up to 30 percent on EU imports. The parties agreed on tariff rates comparable to a recent U.S.-Japan deal, around 15 percent, with no willingness to lower them further. The resolution averts potential economic disruptions affecting a wide range of products, including agricultural goods and industrial items, and reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize transatlantic trade relations amid broader geopolitical and economic negotiations.

The agreement was announced shortly before a scheduled deadline for the US to impose tariffs, which had been threatened at rates up to 30 percent.

This development follows months of negotiations and threats of tariffs intended to reduce the US trade deficit with key partners. The agreement represents a mutual effort to prevent escalation and promote more stable trade relations between the parties.

Trump heads into high-stakes trade meeting saying he won't go below 15 per cent tariffs on EU

US and EU trade talks stall over 15% tariff demand, risking higher tariffs and trade tensions by August 1 deadline
The United States and the European Union engaged in critical trade negotiations aimed at resolving disputes over tariffs, with the US insisting on maintaining a minimum 15 percent tariff rate on EU imports. The US threatened to impose a 30 percent tariff if no agreement was reached by the August 1 deadline, while the EU warned of retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Despite ongoing talks involving high-level officials, including the US President and the European Commission chief, no final deal was secured, with fairness and tariff rates remaining key issues. The US Commerce Secretary confirmed the tariff deadline was firm but indicated continued openness to negotiations. Failure to reach an agreement risks escalating trade tensions and increasing costs on a wide range of products between the two major economies.

EC should not show 'institutional arrogance ', must stop SIR exercise: Abhishek Manu Singhvi

Political coalition challenges Election Commission's citizenship verification under Section 14A, citing voter disenfranchisement risks
A political coalition challenged the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar, alleging it functions as an unlawful citizenship test and constitutes disenfranchisement ahead of state elections. They argued the Commission lacks authority to verify citizenship and that the process is rushed, lacking transparency and consultation with political parties. Concerns were raised about removal of millions of voters, including deceased individuals and those with multiple registrations, with claims that the exercise disproportionately affects marginalized groups. The coalition urged the Commission to halt the SIR until after elections, emphasizing that citizenship verification should be conducted by designated authorities through proper procedures. The Election Commission reported receiving enumeration forms from over 91% of voters, identifying significant numbers of deceased, relocated, or duplicate registrants during the exercise. The coalition indicated plans for intensified opposition to the process, asserting it undermines democratic inclusivity.

Over 2,700 Government Schools Need Repairs, Rs 254 Crore Pending Approval After Deadly Roof Collapse

A recent roof collapse at a government school resulted in seven child fatalities and multiple injuries, highlighting the urgent safety concerns. Reports indicate administrative delays and lack of budget sanctioning have hindered timely repairs. Local authorities faced criticism for quickly dismantling the collapsed structure, raising suspicions of evidence tampering. Political leaders condemned bureaucratic inertia and called for prompt action to address the hazardous conditions. Despite prior warnings and requests to relevant officials about unsafe school infrastructure, no substantial remedial measures have been taken, exacerbating risks to student safety.

NCRTC begins sourcing power through power exchange, eyes Rs 1 crore annual savings

Transport Corporation Cuts Costs by Buying Electricity via Power Exchange, Targets 15% Green Energy Use
A regional transport corporation has initiated electricity procurement through a power exchange for a key sub-station, aiming to reduce operational costs and enhance sustainability. This transition is projected to save approximately Rs 1 crore annually from a single drawl point in the first year. The corporation consumes around 326 million units of electricity yearly, with power expenses constituting 30 to 35 percent of total operational costs. Agreements have been established with power trading and transmission entities to facilitate this shift. The electricity sourced via the exchange is expected to be more economical than traditional utilities, and the corporation plans to obtain at least 15 percent of its power annually from green energy sources. The power exchange model is being implemented in phases along a major transport corridor, with full commissioning anticipated later in the year.
