Battling tariffs is no trivial pursuit for US games retailer
COLLEGE PARK, US: At a strip mall in Maryland, a miniature landscape extends across a table between Dash Krempel and his friend as a war game unfolds. But their hobby is becoming more expensive as US tariffs take a toll. Krempel, 29, told AFP the cost of models for tabletop games have surged from inflation, and continued rising since US President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on trading partners this year. UK-made figurines that cost $60 around three years ago now go for $94.50, he said. 'Prices have gotten bigger,' he added. 'It's a very expensive hobby to begin with, so it's maybe pricing a lot of people out.' Instead of buying more products, he now tries to support retailer Game Kastle College Park by renting tables to play in-store. For the shop's owner, Boyd Stephenson, stocking new board games, paints and hobby supplies has only become more challenging. To avoid the harshest of Trump's tariffs, some suppliers had to delay shipments or postpone new releases. As they raised their suggested retail prices, so has Stephenson at Game Kastle. About a fifth of his store's products have seen cost hikes, with increases ranging from 5 percent to 20 percent. 'If we see higher prices or higher tariffs, I'm going to see higher wholesale prices, and then I have to raise my prices accordingly,' he said. Asked what percentage of his store relies on imports, Stephenson replied: 'Almost all of it.' Stephenson estimates some 7,000 board games were released last year from 5,000 different companies. 'You're really looking at 5,000 different approaches (to tariffs),' he said. 'Some producers are saying, 'We're going to eat the cost.' Some producers are saying, 'We're passing the cost through all the way.' And other producers are doing some sort of mix of that.' Like other US retailers, Stephenson could face more cost pressures come August 1, when steeper tariffs are set to hit dozens of economies like the European Union and India. The elevated rates mark an increase from the 10 percent levy Trump imposed on goods from most economies in April. While China—a crucial manufacturing hub for games—is temporarily spared, Trump has separately imposed fresh 30 percent tariffs on products from the world's second biggest economy this year. US tariffs on Chinese products could return to higher levels from August 12 if officials fail to extend their truce. Yet, there is no quick fix to return manufacturing to the United States. 'US manufacturers just don't have the capacity to do that anymore,' said Stephenson, showing an intricate board game figurine. 'Really, the people that are good at that, that's China,' he said. 'The best modeling paints come from Spain.' 'So if you see tariffs get put up on the EU, then all of a sudden I'm going to have to pay higher prices on modeling paint when I bring it into the country,' he added. Trump has threatened the bloc with a 30 percent tariff. 'Universally bad' Stephenson tries to absorb some cost hikes, but said: 'I have to be able to pay the staff, pay the electric company, pay the landlord.' Trump's on-again, off-again approach to duties has also made suppliers' price changes more unpredictable. 'What is always universally bad for business is uncertainty,' Stephenson said. He usually stocks up on inventory ahead of the year-end holiday season, but expects to be more strategic with purchases this year to avoid unwelcome surprises. Many companies are delaying merchandise imports as they lack certainty, said Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy at the National Retail Federation. —AFP

Kuwait explores use of Bayraktar TB2 drones for environmental monitoring
Newly-acquired drones to support surveillance of borders, critical infrastructure KUWAIT: Kuwait is moving to integrate its newly acquired Bayraktar TB2 drones into environmental surveillance and civilian operations, according to a statement by the General Staff of the Army following a high-level coordination meeting held Sunday. The meeting, chaired by Deputy Chief of the General Staff Lt Gen Sabah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, gathered senior military officials and representatives from the Ministry of Public Works, Kuwait Municipality, and the Environment Public Authority, alongside other civil and security agencies. Discussions focused on how to organize reconnaissance flights and enhance the use of drone-generated data across state institutions, 'in support of observation and follow-up efforts' and to 'enhance the state's capabilities in addressing security and environmental changes,' the statement said. The meeting also reviewed the technical systems onboard the Bayraktar drone and explored its applications in defense, environmental monitoring, and the protection of vital infrastructure and borders. Lt Gen Al-Sabah emphasized the importance of using the drone beyond military settings. 'The utilization of the Bayraktar drone's capabilities is not limited to the military side only but extends to include many civilian sectors of the state,' he said. He called for greater coordination between military and civilian entities to maximize the benefits of this advanced aerial system. He described the drone as 'a qualitative leap in capabilities for monitoring, environmental surveillance, and the protection of facilities and borders,' and underscored the responsibility to invest and deploy the system effectively. The Bayraktar TB2 is capable of flying non-stop for 24 hours, carrying up to 650 kilograms. In 2019, it completed a test flight in Kuwait that lasted 27 hours and 3 minutes, despite high temperatures, strong winds, and sandstorms. The coordination meeting follows the arrival of Kuwait's first Bayraktar drones earlier this month, after a $367 million purchase agreement was signed with Turkish defense company Baykar in January 2023. Kuwait became the 28th country to acquire the TB2, a drone that has been used in conflict zones including Ukraine, Libya, and Azerbaijan. Kuwait has also been training personnel for drone operations, with the first batch of TB2 operators graduating in Turkey in July 2024, and a second group earlier this year. While Kuwait's discussions mark an early step in integrating drones into environmental oversight, drones have increasingly been used for that purpose in recent years. In Pakistan's Punjab province, officials launched a drone-linked environmental monitoring system in September 2024 to track factory emissions and enforce environmental laws. In the Arctic, high-speed drones were tested earlier this year to assess the rate of glacier retreat in Greenland. Research also points to the use of drones at landfills to detect methane emissions with high spatial and temporal precision, offering a low-cost alternative to traditional monitoring methods. — Agencies

SCO summit charts bold course for shared prosperity and unity
ZHENGZHOU, China, July 27: With the ancient city of Zhengzhou as its backdrop, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Media and Think Tank Summit has emerged as a powerful platform for shaping a more interconnected, peaceful, and prosperous future among member and partner states. Held in the heart of central China's Henan Province from Wednesday through Sunday, the summit drew over 400 delegates representing nearly 200 media outlets, think tanks, government agencies, and international organizations across the SCO family. Under the banner, 'Upholding the Shanghai Spirit to Build a More Beautiful Home,' participants engaged in robust exchanges that culminated in the Zhengzhou Consensus—a collective call to action that highlights the central role of media and academic institutions in fostering regional collaboration, cultural understanding, and sustainable development. Kuwait's Arab Times English newspaper was present at the summit, represented by Managing Editor Marlon Aquino Malinao. His presence at the summit reinforced Arab Times' commitment to fostering international cooperation through responsible and insightful journalism. A Spirit of Unity and Purpose At the summit's plenary session, leading voices underscored the SCO's expanding influence in safeguarding regional security, promoting economic growth, and advancing mutual respect. Delegates emphasized that amid a rapidly shifting global landscape, SCO media and think tanks are uniquely positioned to amplify the values of peace, cooperation, and inclusivity. 'The SCO is no longer just a regional alliance—it is a global force shaping the future,' said Fu Hua, President of Xinhua News Agency. 'By telling the stories of our cooperation and promoting shared development, we can build trust and deliver real impact.' Echoing this vision, Mo Gaoyi, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, called on participants to champion the 'Shanghai Spirit'—mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for cultural diversity, and a desire for shared development. Consensus for the Future According to the newly released Zhengzhou Consensus, SCO media and think tanks should: Strengthen mutual trust and understanding by promoting each country's development path and national conditions. Support the Global Security Initiative, amplifying SCO's peace-focused proposals and narratives. Implement the Global Development Initiative, highlighting the region's strides in economic integration and modernization. Advance the Global Civilization Initiative, promoting respect for cultural diversity and mutual learning. Defend multilateralism by voicing the need for inclusive, fair global governance and opposing hegemonic behavior. The summit also unveiled two major think tank reports: one focusing on building a shared future for the SCO, and another exploring China's modern practices in cultural heritage protection—offering both philosophical grounding and practical models for cooperation. Voices from the Region: Kuwait Highlights Shared Momentum In one of the summit's most well-received addresses, Hebah Abbas, Chairwoman Sustainability Committee of Kuwait Water Association delivered a powerful speech titled 'Advancing Strong Momentum for Shared Prosperity and Development.' Speaking in the plenary's second session, Abbas reflected on the symbolism of hosting the summit in Zhengzhou—where rivers merge, much like the cultures within the SCO. 'China's rise,' she said, 'is not merely an economic miracle—it is an invitation to partnership.' She hailed Chinese-led initiatives such as the Belt and Road, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Development Initiative as engines for shared growth, especially through renewable energy, digital connectivity, and green innovation. Abbas celebrated the 60-year friendship between Kuwait and China, noting milestone collaborations in energy, agriculture, and infrastructure, while calling for bolder regional cooperation through projects such as a Digital Silk Road Fund, a Youth Innovation League, and a Green Finance Accelerator. 'Prosperity,' she concluded, 'is most powerful when shared. Let us stride forward as companions in the same boat, setting sail toward a shore where our children inherit not rivalry, but respect—not scarcity, but abundance.' A United Path Forward With strong endorsements from regional leaders, including a congratulatory message from Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, the summit was a resounding affirmation of the SCO's evolution from a security forum to a multifaceted partnership spanning economic, academic, and civil society domains. As delegates prepare to wrap up the summit on Sunday, the message from Zhengzhou is clear: by aligning voices, sharing stories, and building trust, SCO media and think tanks are not just reporting on change—they are helping lead it. The summit is jointly hosted by Xinhua News Agency, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the Henan Provincial People's Government, under the guidance of China's State Council Information Office.
