South Korea considers playing US tech card as tariff deadline nears

(Nikkei montage/Source photos by Reuters) KIM JAEWON SEOUL -- South Korea is trying to fend off U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff pressure and buy more time ahead of a key deadline by suggesting Seoul could soften plans to regulate U.S. tech companies. Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo, Seoul's point man for negotiations, said the export-driven economy would take a "flexible" approach to U.S. tech companies in ongoing tariff talks in a bid to protect its own manufacturers.

Israel's Netanyahu Says He Believes Trump Can Help Seal Ceasefire Deal

JERUSALEM, July 6 (Reuters) – Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he believed his discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday would help advance talks on a Gaza hostage release and ceasefire deal, as Trump predicted an agreement could be reached this week. Israeli negotiators taking part in the ceasefire talks that resumed in Doha on Sunday have clear instructions to achieve a ceasefire agreement under conditions that Israel has accepted, Netanyahu said on Sunday before flying to Washington. 'I believe the discussion with President Trump can certainly help advance these results,' he said, adding his determination to ensure the return of hostages held in Gaza and to remove the threat of the Palestinian militant group Hamas to Israel. It will be Netanyahu's third visit to the White House since Trump returned to power nearly six months ago. Trump said he believed a hostage release and ceasefire deal could be reached this week, which could lead to the release of 'quite a few hostages.' 'I think there's a good chance we have a deal with Hamas during the week,' Trump told reporters before flying back to Washington after a weekend golfing in New Jersey. Public pressure is mounting on Netanyahu to secure a permanent ceasefire and end the war in Gaza, a move opposed by some hardline members of his right-wing coalition. Others, including Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, have expressed support. Palestinian group Hamas said on Friday it had responded to a U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal in a 'positive spirit', a few days after Trump said Israel had agreed 'to the necessary conditions to finalize' a 60-day truce. But in a sign of the potential challenges still facing the two sides, a Palestinian official from a militant group allied with Hamas said concerns remained over humanitarian aid, passage through the Rafah crossing in southern Israel to Egypt and clarity over a timetable for Israeli troop withdrawals. The first session of indirect Hamas-Israel ceasefire talks in Qatar ended inconclusively, two Palestinian sources familiar with the matter said early on Monday, adding that the Israeli delegation didn't have a sufficient mandate to reach an agreement with Hamas. Netanyahu's office said in a statement that changes sought by Hamas to the ceasefire proposal were 'not acceptable to Israel'. However, his office said the delegation would still fly to Qatar to 'continue efforts to secure the return of our hostages based on the Qatari proposal that Israel agreed to.' Netanyahu has repeatedly said Hamas must be disarmed, a demand the militant group has so far refused to discuss. Netanyahu said he believed he and Trump would also build on the outcome of the 12-day air war with Iran last month and seek to further ensure that Tehran never has a nuclear weapon. He said recent Middle East developments had created an opportunity to widen the circle of peace. HOSTAGES On Saturday evening, crowds gathered at a public square in Tel Aviv near the defence ministry headquarters to call for a ceasefire deal and the return of around 50 hostages still held in Gaza. The demonstrators waved Israeli flags, chanted and carried posters with photos of the hostages. The latest bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Gaza's health ministry says Israel's retaliatory military assault on the enclave has killed over 57,000 Palestinians. It has also caused a hunger crisis, displaced the population, mostly within Gaza, and left the territory in ruins. Around 20 of the remaining hostages are believed to be still alive. A majority of the original hostages have been freed through diplomatic negotiations, though the Israeli military has also recovered some.

Trump says countries aligning themselves with BRICS' 'anti-American policies' will be hit with additional 10% tariffs

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media upon his arrival at Morristown Airport, in Morristown, New Jersey, U.S., July 6, 2025. REUTERS/Nathan Howard/File Photo U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said that countries aligning themselves with the "Anti-American policies" of BRICS, will be charged an additional 10% tariff. "Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump did not clarify or expand on the "Anti-American policies" reference in his post. The original BRICS group gathered leaders from Brazil, Russia, India and China at its first summit in 2009. The bloc later added South Africa and last year included Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia as members. © Thomson Reuters 2025.
