As Trump's tariff patience wanes, countries scrambling for deals face hard choice
US trading partners trying to navigate the final weeks of negotiations before President Donald Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs hit are facing a leader who has made clear he has lost patience with talks. Even as negotiators from Brussels to New Delhi are racing to find a way out of the punishing levies he has floated, Trump continued to send letters unilaterally setting rates – while still allowing for a little wiggle room. Early on Saturday, Trump posted letters sent to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, declaring a 30 per cent rate for Mexico and the European Union beginning August 1. He said Mexico had failed to do enough to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States and complained that the EU's trade deficit with the US was unfair. He suggested both partners could take steps to mitigate the rates – or he could increase them further if he did not like their responses. Efforts by those countries and others to find an escape from the punishing levies are expected to intensify next week ahead of a new August 1 deadline for many of the import taxes to kick in. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is heading to Japan, and EU negotiators are focusing their attention on cars and agricultural tariffs in hopes of securing at least a provisional agreement.

Hong Kong's digital-asset strategy aims to solve ‘real economy problems', Chris Hui says
Hong Kong will facilitate more use cases for stablecoins and other tokenised financial products, part of the city's effort to build a trusted and sustainable digital-asset market that can tackle real-world economic problems, said the architect of the strategy. Eleven cryptocurrency exchanges have been licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission to operate in Hong Kong, a sea change over three short years after a raft of policies, regulations and guidelines were put in place to put the city on the leading edge of financial technology. More initiatives are in the works, said the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, Christopher Hui, as Hong Kong becomes the crucible for testing the best global technological solutions for real-world problems. 09:07 Hong Kong charts new phase as digital asset hub with policy blueprint, says FSTB chief Chris Hui Hong Kong charts new phase as digital asset hub with policy blueprint, says FSTB chief Chris Hui 'Finance serves the purpose of easing the smooth operation of the real economy, the value chain, the movement of goods and services, and the transfer of assets and products,' Hui said last week during an interview with the Post. 'I would try to cast our sights even further: it is about Hong Kong [as] a value creator [and] a solution provider for some real economic issues and challenges in the region and across the world.' This was the first time that Hui, an Oxford-educated economist before he entered public service in 1999, laid out the government's strategy across the entire spectrum of digital assets, from cryptocurrencies to stablecoins to central bank digital currencies Based on the principle that similar rules should apply to similar risks, his bureau has formulated regulations for four 'blocks' of digital assets: exchanges, stablecoin issuers, dealing service providers and custodians. The latter two are now part of the legislative proposals in consultation, which is expected to close at the end of next month to address investors' needs for sourcing liquidity, block trading and asset safekeeping.
