Trump: Auto trade with Japan 'not fair'
US President Donald Trump says automobile trade between Japan and the United States is "not fair," indicating again that he will not easily compromise on the extra US tariff on vehicle imports. Trump made the remark in a Fox News interview aired on Sunday. The 25 percent levy on car imports to the US is a key point of contention in bilateral tariff negotiations. He said he could send a letter to Japan to say, "You're going to pay a 25 percent tariff on your cars." Trump added, "They won't take our cars, and yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States." Describing the situation as unfair, he said: "I explained that to Japan. They understand it." Trump went on to note that the US has a huge trade deficit with Japan. He said Japan could buy a lot of American oil and other products to slash the imbalance.

Trump says Iran sanctions can be lifted depending on its response
US President Donald Trump has reiterated that US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were a success and suggested that he could lift sanctions on Iran depending on its future responses. Trump said in a Fox News interview aired on Sunday that Iran's nuclear facilities were "obliterated like nobody's ever seen before." He also indicated that Iran was unable to move enriched uranium from its nuclear facilities before the US strikes. His comments came after some US media reported on an early assessment of the US strikes suggesting that Iran's nuclear program had been set back by only a few months. Trump also stressed his position that Iran should not proceed with its nuclear development program. He said he would lift the sanctions against Iran if "they can be peaceful, and if they can show us they're not going to do any more harm." The president is apparently pressuring Iran to make concessions over its nuclear program by suggesting that sanctions can be lifted depending on its response.

Powell and Lagarde count cost of Trump's turbulence
The global economy's concussion from five months of Donald Trump's presidency is likely to feature when five of the world's leading central bank chiefs discuss monetary policy in public on Tuesday. From tariff-related trade ructions to oil-price gyrations caused by Middle East hostilities, the question of how to handle the fallout from White House decisions may loom large as Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell speaks on a panel with peers from the euro zone, Japan, South Korea and the U.K. The high-powered gathering at the European Central Bank's annual retreat in Portugal will be the first time that its president, Christine Lagarde, has shared a stage for a public discussion with her U.S. counterpart since the same event in 2024.
