US trade advisor says Trump tariff rates unlikely to change
3 Aug 2025 20:22 WASHINGTON (AFP) New US tariff rates are "pretty much set" with little immediate room for negotiation, Donald Trump's trade advisor said in remarks aired who has wielded tariffs as a tool of American economic might, has set tariff rates for dozens of economies, including the European Union, at between 10 and 41 percent, come August 7, his new hard deadline for the a pre-taped interview broadcast Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said "the coming days" are not likely to see changes in the tariff rates."A lot of these are set rates pursuant to deals. Some of these deals are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or surplus we may have with the country," Greer said."These tariff rates are pretty much set."Undoubtedly, some trade ministers "want to talk more and see how they can work in a different way with the United States," he "we're seeing truly the contours of the president's tariff plan right now with these rates."Last Thursday, the former real estate developer announced hiked tariff rates on dozens of US trade will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline. Meanwhile, White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said that while talks are expected to continue over the next week with some US trade partners, he concurred with Greer's tariffs assessment in that the bulk of the rates "are more or less locked in."

OPEC+ Set to Approve Oil Output Hike Amid Supply Fears
OPEC+ members are poised to approve a significant increase in oil output at a crucial meeting scheduled for Sunday. Sources indicate that the group will likely raise production, though discussions are still ongoing over the exact size of the hike for September. The decision follows rising concerns about global oil supplies and the potential for further disruptions from Russia. This move comes as the international community grapples with the impacts of sanctions and geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The oil cartel, comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other non-member allies like Russia, has been accelerating production increases over the past few months. The decision stems from a combination of factors, with an acute focus on the global oil stockpiles, which have remained low despite efforts to stabilize supply. The urgency is compounded by seasonal slowdowns in demand, which have raised questions about balancing supply with market conditions. OPEC+ leaders have also been closely monitoring the evolving situation in Russia, which continues to face economic and energy sanctions from Western nations. These sanctions, aimed at curbing Russia's oil exports, have prompted the Kremlin to seek alternative buyers for its crude oil. At the same time, the United States has renewed its calls for India to reduce its purchases of Russian oil, intensifying diplomatic pressure. Washington's strategy is driven by its broader geopolitical objective of isolating Moscow economically while pushing for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict. ADVERTISEMENT This dynamic has placed India in a delicate position. As one of the largest consumers of Russian oil, India has maintained its imports despite mounting external pressure. This situation has intensified after the European Union's sanctions on Russia, forcing some Indian state refiners to suspend their purchases of Russian oil. With OPEC+ members aware of the broader geopolitical context, their decisions will be shaped not just by market conditions but also by the complex web of international relations and the shifting allegiances in global energy trade. In recent months, the collective oil production of OPEC+ members has become a focal point in global discussions on energy security. The cartel's decisions carry significant weight in influencing oil prices, particularly as economies emerge from the pandemic and recover from inflationary pressures. The oil market has shown signs of volatility, with fluctuations in prices reflecting both the tightening supply and rising concerns about geopolitical tensions. The meeting scheduled for Sunday will likely be decisive for OPEC+ members, many of whom are keen to boost production to meet global demand. Saudi Arabia, as the group's leading producer, has expressed concerns about the pace of supply increases, but has also indicated its willingness to cooperate on finding a balanced approach. The UAE and other Gulf states have similarly shown a commitment to addressing market imbalances, although there are notable differences in opinion regarding how aggressively the group should ramp up output. A key issue at the heart of the debate is the uncertainty surrounding the Russian supply. Moscow's ability to maintain its oil exports amid sanctions has been questioned by some members, and the broader impact of any further disruptions is a critical point of discussion. Russia's oil output has remained relatively stable despite sanctions, but the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and potential future sanctions may disrupt this trend. Further complicating the situation is the fact that some OPEC+ members, such as Iraq and Algeria, have been more cautious about increasing output due to concerns over market stability. They argue that the global oil market remains fragile, and any major increase in production could lead to oversupply, ultimately lowering prices and undermining efforts to stabilize the market.

Iraq's PM launches gas power plant
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani launched on Saturday the construction works for the first phase of the Second Beiji Gas Power Plant in Salah al-Din Province, with a total capacity of 1,014 megawatts. The Iraqi News Agency (INA) quoted a statement from the Media Office of the Prime Minister, in which Al-Sudani commended the efforts made to prepare for the launch of this vital project, affirming that the energy sector is a cornerstone of any comprehensive development plan. He explained that the government has allocated the necessary financial resources to develop all sectors of electricity—generation, transmission, and distribution—in order to improve energy production across all regions of the country. The project will be implemented by a consortium of Siemens Energy (Germany) and CSCEC (China). The contract includes the rehabilitation of six Siemens gas generation units, each with a capacity of 169 megawatts, for a total capacity of 1,014 megawatts. It also includes the establishment of a load dispatching network consisting of seven circuits at 400 kilovolts, which will feed six lines into the national grid, as well as the construction of a new 132-kilovolt network comprising 16 lines to serve Salah al-Din Province. The first two units are scheduled to be operational within 27 months, followed by the remaining units at a rate of one unit every two months. In April, Mohammed Al-Sudani laid the foundation stone for a giant power plant in the southern Iraqi province of Dhi Qar. With a planned capacity of around 921 megawatts, the new power plant will run on natural gas, with the potential to eventually implement hydrogen mixing technology. The project, which is being carried out by German-based Siemens next to the Nasiriyah Thermal Power Station, is a significant project that will raise the standard of energy supply in Iraq's national grid.
