Lutovinov appointed Ukrainian ambassador to Japan
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Yuriy Lutovinov, former minister-counselor at the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan, as ambassador to Japan. The appointment was announced on Monday. Of the Group of Seven major powers, which have led assistance to Ukraine amid the Russian invasion of the East European country, Japan had been the only country with a vacant Ukrainian ambassador post. Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Japan Sergiy Korsunsky left his post this spring. Lutovinov, fluent in Japanese, may take up his new post as early as September. Korsunsky became Ukrainian ambassador to Japan in 2020. He worked to secure Japan's backing in Kyiv's fight with Moscow, and focused on spreading information through X, formerly Twitter. Zelenskyy is believed to expect Lutovinov to play a similar role. Ukraine on Thursday carried out its first drastic change in government personnel since the Russian invasion began three and a half years ago, launching the cabinet of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. Zelenskyy met reappointed Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on Monday to revamp Kyiv's diplomatic missions. According to local media, Lutovinov and 15 others have been newly appointed as ambassadors, including one named ambassador to Canada. The Ukrainian president has indicated he may appoint former Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna as ambassador to the United States to bolster ties with the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Western aid cuts cede ground in Southeast Asia to China, study suggests
China is set to expand its influence over Southeast Asia's development as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and other Western donors slash aid, a study by an Australian think tank said Sunday. The region is in an "uncertain moment," facing cuts in official development finance from the West as well as "especially punitive" U.S. trade tariffs, the Sydney-based Lowy Institute said. "Declining Western aid risks ceding a greater role to China, though other Asian donors will also gain in importance," it said. Total official development finance to Southeast Asia — including grants, low-rate loans and other loans — grew "modestly" to $29 billion in 2023, the annual report said. But Trump has since halted about $60 billion in development assistance — most of the United States' overseas aid program. Seven European countries — including France and Germany — and the European Union have announced $17.2 billion in aid cuts to be implemented between 2025 and 2029, it said. And the United Kingdom has said it is reducing annual aid by $7.6 billion, redirecting government money toward defense. Based on recent announcements, overall official development finance to Southeast Asia will fall by more than $2 billion by 2026, the study projected. "These cuts will hit Southeast Asia hard," it said. "Poorer countries and social sector priorities such as health, education, and civil society support that rely on bilateral aid funding are likely to lose out the most." Higher-income countries already capture most of the region's official development finance, said the institute's Southeast Asia Aid Map report. Poorer countries such as East Timor, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar are being left behind, creating a deepening divide that could undermine long-term stability, equity and resilience, it warned. Despite substantial economic development across most of Southeast Asia, around 86 million people still live on less than $3.65 a day, it said. "The center of gravity in Southeast Asia's development finance landscape looks set to drift East, notably to Beijing but also Tokyo and Seoul," the study said. As trade ties with the United States have weakened, Southeast Asian countries' development options could shrink, it said, leaving them with less leverage to negotiate favorable terms with Beijing. "China's relative importance as a development actor in the region will rise as Western development support recedes," it said. Beijing's development finance to the region rose by $1.6 billion to $4.9 billion in 2023 — mostly through big infrastructure projects such as rail links in Indonesia and Malaysia, the report said. At the same time, China's infrastructure commitments to Southeast Asia surged fourfold to almost $10 billion, largely due to the revival of the Kyaukphyu Deep Sea Port project in Myanmar. By contrast, Western alternative infrastructure projects had failed to materialize in recent years, the study said. "Similarly, Western promises to support the region's clean energy transition have yet to translate into more projects on the ground — of global concern given coal-dependent Southeast Asia is a major source of rapidly growing carbon emissions."

U.S. seeking best deal for Americans in talks with Japan, Bessent says
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that the United States will seek the best deal for itself in tariff negotiations with Japan. "Our priorities are not the internal workings of the Japanese government," Bessent told U.S. broadcaster CNBC. "Our priorities are giving the best deal for the American people." Ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline for countries to secure trade deals or face steep tariffs, Bessent also said that the administration of President Donald Trump is more concerned with the quality of trade agreements than their timing. "We're not going to rush for the sake of doing deals," he said. Asked whether the deadline could be extended for countries engaged in productive talks with Washington, Bessent said Trump would decide. "We'll see what the president wants to do. But again, if we somehow boomerang back to the Aug. 1 tariff, I would think that a higher tariff level will put more pressure on those countries to come with better agreements," he said. The treasury secretary's remark came after Japan held an election for the Upper House on Sunday. He had previously said that the poll was a constraint on reaching an agreement. Bessent's remark appeared to keep Tokyo in check as it sought a review of U.S. automobile tariffs. He added that he did not discuss trade when he held talks with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and chief trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa during his visit to Japan last week for the Osaka Expo. Akazawa departed for trade talks in Washington on Monday morning, his eighth visit in three months, after the ruling coalition of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba suffered a bruising defeat in the Upper House election shaped in part by voter frustration over U.S. tariffs. Trump has upended the global economy with a trade war that has targeted most U.S. trading partners, but his administration has fallen far short of its plan to clinch deals with dozens of countries. Negotiations with India, the European Union, Japan, and others have proven more trying than expected. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Trump could discuss trade when he meets with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House on Tuesday. She said the Trump administration remained engaged with countries around the world and could announce more trade deals or send more letters notifying countries of the tariff rate they faced before Aug. 1, but gave no details. Leavitt's comments came as European Union diplomats said they were exploring a broader set of possible countermeasures against the U.S., given fading prospects for an acceptable trade agreement with Washington. An increasing number of EU members, including Germany, are now considering using "anti-coercion" measures that would let the bloc target U.S. services or curb access to public tenders in the absence of a deal, diplomats said. "The negotiations over the level of tariffs are currently very intense," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told a press conference. "The Americans are quite clearly not willing to agree to a symmetrical tariff arrangement." On China, Bessent said there would be "talks in the very near future." "I think trade is in a good place, and I think, now we can start talking about other things. The Chinese, unfortunately ... are very large purchasers of sanctioned Iranian oil, sanctioned Russian oil," he said. "We could also discuss the elephant in the room, which is this great rebalancing that the Chinese need to do." U.S. officials have long complained about China's overcapacity in various manufacturing sectors, including steel. Bessent told CNBC he would encourage Europe to follow the United States if it implements secondary tariffs on Russia. Indian trade negotiators returned to New Delhi after almost a week of talks in Washington, but officials were losing hope of signing an interim trade deal before the Aug. 1 deadline, government sources said.
