‘Not going to rush': Ahead of Trump's tariff deadline, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shares update; says ‘more concerned about…'
The US will not fast-track trade deals simply to meet deadlines, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said, signalling that the Trump administration remains focused on securing high-quality agreements even as a key tariff deadline approaches. In an interview with CNBC, Bessent stated, 'The Trump administration is more concerned with the quality of trade agreements rather than their timing. We're not going to rush for the sake of doing deals.' The remarks come ahead of the August 1 deadline, when tariffs on several US trade partners could kick in if talks fail to yield progress, according to an ET report. While describing the ongoing negotiations as 'moving along,' Bessent warned that failure to reach agreements could escalate trade tensions. 'If we boomerang on August 1 tariffs, higher tariffs could put more pressure on countries,' he said. Allies under pressure as US sticks to its terms Bessent pointed to growing engagement from the European Union, noting, 'They've become more engaged,' and said he expects Brussels may aim to speed up negotiations. 'I imagine they would want to negotiate faster,' he added. On Japan, Bessent clarified that Washington's focus remains firmly on securing the best outcomes for the US, not adapting to domestic political calendars in partner countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'Our priorities are not internal government but best deals for U.S.,' he said. Despite the approaching deadline, Bessent expressed confidence in the ongoing discussions. 'Trade is in a good place,' he said. Russia tariffs tied to political goals Touching on Russia, Bessent acknowledged that tariff measures can go beyond trade. 'Tariffs can be a means to political ends,' he said, referring to current conversations around sanctions. He also hinted at a possible joint strategy with allies, saying, 'Would urge Europe to follow us if we implement secondary tariffs,' without naming affected sectors or timelines. China discussions may restart, focus on overcapacity and oil On China, Bessent said talks could resume 'in the near future,' but flagged overcapacity as the primary concern. 'The elephant in the room with China is overcapacity,' he said, mentioning steel and solar as key pressure points. He also pointed to two new areas of concern that may enter future negotiations—Beijing's trade ties with Russia and its stance on Iranian oil. 'Could start talking about Iranian oil,' Bessent said, while adding that the US 'could discuss [China's] trade with Russia' as part of broader diplomatic talks.

India's share in US imports increasing in electronics, agri, textiles: Official
The restructuring of tariffs by the US has led to a shift in the list of key product suppliers to the American market, with India emerging as one of the beneficiaries at the expense of China and Canada, an official said on Monday. As per an analysis, India's share in the USA's electronics exports has increased to 7.2 per cent to 3.5 per cent year-on-year in May, while China's share dipped to 11 per cent from 22 per cent during the same period.

Overall electronics exports in April-June were up 47 per cent to USD 12.41 billion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Similarly, China's share in textiles exports to the US fell from 27 per cent to 14 per cent, at a time when India's share in the US textiles' import market grew from 9 per cent to 12 per cent and Vietnam's share grew from 14 per cent to 18 per cent. In the agriculture and marine products sector, China's share to America has dipped from 3.5 per cent to 1.5 per cent, and despite no overlap in export commodities, India's share has grown from 1.7 per cent to 2.2 per cent. Live Events Indonesia and Vietnam ended up grabbing a portion of China's space in agriculture exports to the US. The official also said that in the first quarter of 2025-26, India, Mexico and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a positive growth in exports to the US, while China has seen the sharpest fall in exports to the US among G20 countries (around 5 per cent), followed by Canada and many other countries. China's exports to the US have suffered as it has faced the highest tariffs among major exporters to America. Even after the agreement between the US and China the tariffs on China stay at 55 per cent. On the other hand, Indian goods attract an additional 10 per cent duty in the US markets. Besides, there is 50 per cent duty on steel and aluminium, and 25 per cent on auto and auto parts. According to experts, these high sector duties may have implications for India. As steel and aluminum have 50 per cent additional duties, the domestic steel prices in the US are 40 per cent more than international prices. This high price and tariff uncertainty has resulted in fall in order inflow. Another sector that has suffered due to tariff uncertainty is chemicals. India's share of US import of chemicals has come down to 3.5 per cent from 4.4 per cent between May 2024 and May 2025. As pharma tariffs have been left untouched so far, India is maintaining its share in the US market. India maintains 40 per cent share of the US generic drugs imports. US President Donald Trump has threatened 200 per cent duties on pharma but India is expected to maintain its share as its products are 30 per cent to 80 per cent cheaper than the competition.

Trump admin takes first step towards a wage-linked weighted selection process for H-1B visas
Trump admin takes first step towards a wage-linked weighted selection process for H-1B visas The Trump administration is working on a new rule to create a 'weighted selection process' for H-1B cap visas. Weights are likely to be assigned, based on the salary offered to the foreign beneficiary (individual who is being sponsored for the H-1B visa by an American employer). The writing was on the wall. Now it is much clearer. Recently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), which is the White House office that reviews rules. Post its review, the rule will be published in the Federal Register kicking off the process of implementation of a final rule. The process could take several months as it also involves keeping a window open for inviting public comments and reviewing. 'But they are moving fast, so that could happen within the calendar year,' said Doug Rand, a former DHS official. It may be recalled that in early January 2021, with just a few days left for the Biden administration to take charge, the annual H-1B cap lottery process (which was a random selection process) was replaced with a wage-based selection process vide a final rule. Under this, H-1B cap visas were to be allocated according to wage levels, giving priority to those earning the highest salaries in their respective occupations and geographic areas of employment. In effect, the H-1B cap visas were to be awarded first to beneficiaries in Level 4 (which is the highest of the four wage categories and covers very experienced workers), then to those at Level 3, and so on, until the annual quota of 85,000 has been met. This rule was frozen by the Biden administration and subsequently vacated by a court order. The revived proposal by the Trump administration could be similar. Rand points out, 'When the US Congress established the H-1B program in 1990 as a temporary work visa for professionals in 'specialty occupations', many of today's occupations didn't exist. American businesses get no more than 85,000 new H-1B cap slots each year; but the demand is 4-5 times higher.' Indians are major H-1B beneficiaries. For the fiscal ended September 2023, they accounted for 68,825 (58%) of initial employment visas and 2.10 lakh (79%) of extensions, far outpacing China, the second-largest source, with significantly lower allotments of 16,094 and 29,250, respectively. Thus, any change will significantly impact Indians aspiring to work in the US. Rand states that there is a difference between long-term employers (such as MNCs, thousands of startups, small business and community hospitals) and the short-term employers – which could include a handful of unscrupulous staffing companies. 'Heedless of this distinction, the Trump administration is about to (re)attempt a major change to the H-1B lottery. It sounds reasonable at first to allocate scarce H-1Bs to the highest-paid workers in each occupation. But, this would be disastrous in practice. Sure, it might force the short-term H-1B employers to either pay their workers more or get out of the business. But the long-term H-1B employers typically hire early-career researchers, engineers, doctors, and other professionals, often fresh out of US graduate school. They may be well-compensated, but they wouldn't hit the top quartile, so they would be effectively frozen out of the lottery selection process,' explains Rand. Education experts point out that typically international students transitioning to H-1B visas after completing their optional practical training (which is three years for STEM students) are hired at entry levels. Higher wages will make it difficult for companies to hire them. Immigration attorneys also hold the view that it would adversely impact the health sector, scientific research and certain hospital positions.
