Trump demands trade concessions as EU holds fire in push for tariff negotiations
US President Donald Trump has warned the European Union and Mexico that they must offer better trade deals or face new import taxes. He said on Saturday that starting August 1, the US would impose a 30% tariff on most goods from the EU and Mexico unless they improve their trade offers. Trump gave the countries less than three weeks to finalise a new deal to avoid the message will put pressure on America's trading partners, many of whom are still trying to negotiate fair trade terms. His top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, said on Sunday that the current offers made by other countries are not enough."The president thinks that deals need to be better," Hassett said in an interview with ABC's This Week. "To basically put a line in the sand, he sent these letters out to folks, and we'll see how it works out."EU CHOOSES TALKS OVER IMMEDIATE RETALIATION In response, the European Union said on Sunday that it will not immediately respond with its own tariffs, but will extend its pause on countermeasures until early August. The EU is still hoping for a negotiated agreement instead of starting a trade von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said the EU's goal remains a peaceful solution. "We have always been very clear that we prefer a negotiated solution. This remains the case, and we will use the time that we have now," von der Leyen told also confirmed that the EU will extend the suspension of its planned tariffs, which were originally set to expire on European Commission is trying to avoid a worsening trade conflict, even though it has prepared a list of US goods worth billions of euros that could face tariffs if talks break Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday that he supports peaceful talks and will work closely with von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron in the next few weeks to find a solution."If that (30% tariff) were to happen, we would have to postpone large parts of our economic policy efforts because it would interfere with everything and hit the German export industry to the core," Merz said in an interview on German public LEADERS SPLIT ON HOW TO HANDLE TRUMPNot all EU leaders agree on how patient the bloc should be. French President Macron said the EU should take a tougher stand to protect its economy and jobs. He called on the European Commission to be more firm and to consider using tools like the Anti-Coercion Instrument, which lets the EU hit back when a country tries to pressure it Commission needs more than ever to assert the Union's determination to defend European interests resolutely," Macron Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil also warned that if the talks fail, the EU must be ready to act."If a fair negotiated solution does not succeed, then we must take decisive countermeasures to protect jobs and companies in Europe," Klingbeil told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung EU already has two sets of possible tariffs prepared:One targets 21 billion euros of US goods in response to earlier steel and aluminium tariffs. That plan was suspended for 90 days starting in April.A second package, created in May, could hit 72 billion euros of US goods. This second list is still secret and needs approval from EU member der Leyen said the EU's Anti-Coercion Instrument is not being used yet."The instrument is created for extraordinary situations, we are not there yet," she she explained that it gives the EU the power to respond if foreign countries use economic threats. Possible actions could include limiting market access or blocking certain EU is also moving ahead with other trade partnerships. Von der Leyen said a political deal with Indonesia has been reached, showing the bloc's effort to diversify trade ties.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersTrending Reel

U.S. Allies Grope for Response to Trump's Tariff Squeeze
BRUSSELS—America's biggest trading partners have tried tactics ranging from appeasement to retaliation to avoid higher tariffs. Most have come away bruised and empty-handed. Mexico took Trump's drug-enforcement demands seriously and boosted security measures. The European Union paused retaliation plans to focus on trade talks. Canada hit back with tariffs several months ago before shifting to a more conciliatory approach. All are faced with tariffs that have risen sharply since President Trump took office. This past week he threatened most of them with further escalation. Now they are grappling with how to respond to a U.S. administration that is using trade policy for a range of political and economic objectives. Over the past week, Trump sent letters containing fresh tariff threats to about two dozen countries. Some, including Japan and the EU, had sought to address his concerns in recent months, said Simon Evenett, a professor at IMD Business School who runs Global Trade Alert, a trade-policy monitoring site. But he said it's unclear whether engagement has resulted in better treatment. 'They found out that it's not a negotiation—it's a take-it-or-leave-it situation,' he said. Most countries will probably still try to negotiate a deal ahead of Aug. 1, Evenett said. But they should also start thinking about how to adapt to Trump's tariffs by supporting their exporters and helping companies find new markets, he said. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday that the bloc would keep on hold its retaliatory tariffs until early August while it negotiates with the U.S. She added that the EU is also continuing to ready further countermeasures, 'so we are fully prepared.' French President Emmanuel Macron says the European Union should speed up the preparation of countermeasures in case a trade deal with the U.S. isn't reached. Ambassadors from the EU's member states were due to meet Sunday to discuss Trump's letter, which threatened to increase blanket tariffs on most European goods to 30% from the current 10% level. European officials had believed until recently that progress in their talks with the U.S. meant they wouldn't be among the trading partners receiving a letter last week. The results could change before Aug. 1. Some analysts viewed Trump's letters as a negotiating tactic that aims to put more pressure on governments before next month's deadline. Dan Mullaney, a former assistant U.S. trade representative for Europe and the Middle East, said he thinks Trump's letter to the EU is about pushing the bloc toward a better deal. Trump previously threatened imminent 50% tariffs on the EU in May, in a move that appeared to speed up negotiations. Still, Mullaney said the letter is likely to embolden those in the EU who want to retaliate and have argued that the U.S. isn't serious about doing a deal. 'Those people will feel like they're now justified in their beliefs,' he said. French President Emmanuel Macron said Saturday that the EU should speed up preparation of its countermeasures in case a deal isn't reached, 'by mobilizing all the instruments at its disposal.' He said that includes the EU's so-called anticoercion instrument, a legal tool that could allow the bloc to impose levies on U.S. services, among other measures. Von der Leyen said Sunday that the anticoercion instrument exists for extraordinary situations. 'We are not there yet,' she said. 'This is now the time for negotiations.' She made the comments on Sunday while announcing a political agreement on a trade deal with Indonesia, which she said shows how the EU is looking for new markets. Just two countries have secured outline trade deals with the Trump administration: the U.K. and Vietnam. China and the U.S. reached a tariff truce after a tit-for-tat escalation earlier this year. The range of U.S. trading partners that are now facing new tariff threats from the U.S. shows how difficult it is to draw conclusions from the different approaches countries took in responding to the Trump administration, said Dmitry Grozoubinski, senior trade adviser at Aurora Macro Strategies. Mexico and Canada had a pre-existing trade relationship with the U.S. that was based on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a deal that Trump himself had pushed for during his first term as president, Grozoubinski said. And both countries boosted border security in response to Trump's demands. The EU appeared to be negotiating constructively. And Brazil, which Trump threatened to put 50% tariffs on this week based on grievances not related to trade, imports more American goods than it exports to the U.S., resulting in a trade surplus for the U.S. 'I legitimately do not know what you could possibly advise someone in terms of best negotiating approach, when it is very, very clear that what constitutes an acceptable landing zone is entirely within one person's mind and constantly shifts,' Grozoubinski said.

Govt eases exhaust gas rules for thermal power plants, may lower power prices
New Delhi: The government has relaxed the universal implementation of the flue-gas desulphurization (FGD) systems at coal-based power plants across the country, in a move that is likely to lower electricity prices. A 12 July notification from the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEF&CC) said thermal power plants outside a 10km radius of cities with a population of 1 million people or more will be excluded from the requirement to install the system. Flue gas is a residue from thermal power plants, emits sulphur dioxide (SO2), which can mix in the atmosphere and create secondary particulate matter, an air pollutant. While plants in the National Capital Region (NCR) and other cities with at least 1 million population will have to comply with the norm, for those within 10km radius of critically polluted areas or non-attainment cities, the need for FGD installation will be decided on a case-by-case basis by the Centre based on recommendations of the expert appraisal committee in charge of thermal power projects. 'The sulphur dioxide emission standards shall not be applicable to all Category C thermal power plants subject to ensuring compliance of stack height criteria notified vide notification number GSR 742 (E), dated the 30th August, 1990,' said the notification referring to the plants outside the radius of 10km of cities with 1 million population. These plants, which are exempted from the requirement to install FGD systems, account for nearly 79% of the overall 180 operational power plants in the country. Plants within a 10km radius of the NCR or cities with a population of 1 million initially had to install FGD systems by 2017 but have been given multiple extensions. Now, they need to comply by 2027-end. A report by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur, in collaboration with NITI Aayog, in December said the ambient SO2 concentration in all the monitoring stations (CAAQMS) is well below the prescribed norms of 80 micrograms per cubic meter. It noted that installation of FGDs in thermal power plants leads to higher capital investment, increased power consumption, increased consumer tariff and a higher water and carbon footprint without environmental benefits. 'There is a need to revisit the stack emission norms for SO2 as per the circular of MoEF&CC, 2015, with consideration of India's latitudinal position, close to the equator compared to European countries, the USA, the UK, developed countries who have given guidelines for SO2 emission control. India has higher and stronger solar insolation, leading to high ground-level heating, vertical convection, high mixing height, high ventilation, etc.,' the report said. According to the report, the sulphur content of coal of other countries is much higher compared to Indian coal. In case of Indian coal, the sulphur content is less than 0.5%. On the cost implication of implementing FGD systems, the report said that the current cost of FGD systems is around ₹ 1.40 crore per megawatt. Citing data from the Central Electricity Authority, it said around ₹ 1.47 trillion capital investment would be required for the installation of the remaining 105GW coal-based power plants.
