US State Department to Lay off Over 1,350 Employees
Israa Farhan The United States Department of State is set to begin laying off more than 1,350 employees starting Friday, as part of a sweeping reform plan under President Donald Trump's administration aimed at reshaping the American diplomatic corps. The unprecedented move has drawn strong criticism from former diplomats and analysts who warn it could significantly weaken US foreign policy efforts. According to an internal memo distributed to staff, the layoffs will affect 1,107 civil service employees and 246 members of the domestic diplomatic staff. This marks one of the most significant workforce reductions in the department's recent history. The restructuring comes amid ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to reduce federal spending and streamline government operations. The State Department has faced mounting pressure in recent years to modernize its systems and cut operational costs. Still, many fear the changes could undermine the country's ability to project influence abroad and maintain effective diplomatic engagement. Since taking office, President Trump has pushed for institutional reforms across the federal government, including the Department of State. His approach focuses on reducing workforce numbers and overhauling legacy structures. However, the strategy has provoked concern among foreign policy experts, who argue that such deep staffing cuts risk diminishing America's global diplomatic reach at a time of increasing international complexity. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Trump Announces 30% Tariffs on Imports from Iraq, Algeria, and Libya
Taarek Refaat Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the imposition of new tariffs ranging from 25% to 30% on imports from multiple countries, including a 30% tariff on goods from Iraq, Algeria, and Libya, set to take effect on August 1, 2025. The announcement was made through official letters sent to the governments of the affected nations, according to a report by Economics Time. The new trade measure comes as part of Trump's continued push for what he calls a "fairer and stronger" trade balance for the United States, as he prepares for a possible return to the presidency. Targeted Tariffs Expand to 14 Countries The 30% tariffs will apply to all imported goods from Iraq, Algeria, and Libya. In addition, the United States will impose a 25% tariff on imports from Brunei, Moldova, and the Philippines. These new measures follow a July 7 statement in which Trump confirmed that the additional duties — first discussed earlier in the year — would be delayed until August to align with the finalization of multiple trade deals. 'The delayed tariffs will go into effect August 1, as we finalize historic trade agreements that prioritize American jobs and industries,' Trump said. This marks an escalation of his trade agenda, which mirrors policies from his previous term, targeting countries that, according to Trump, benefit from unbalanced trade dynamics or insufficient economic reciprocity. A Broader Trade Realignment In total, 14 countries received tariff notifications this month. The scope of tariffs ranges from 25% to 40%, with countries like Japan, South Korea, and Serbia also included in the new policy wave. While details about the specific goods affected have not been disclosed, trade analysts expect the tariffs to target sectors such as energy, textiles, and electronics, where U.S. manufacturers have expressed concerns about underpricing and trade imbalances. Early Reactions and Global Implications There has been no official response yet from Baghdad, Algiers, or Tripoli, though economic experts warn the decision could strain diplomatic relations and trigger retaliatory tariffs or realignment of import sources by affected nations. If Trump returns to office following the 2024 election, trade policy is expected to be a key pillar of his economic agenda, signaling a shift toward more protectionist measures in a bid to reinvigorate domestic manufacturing. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Production begins at expansion of EGA Spectro Alloys recycling plant in US - Middle East Business News and Information
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, July 2025: Emirates Global Aluminium, the largest 'premium aluminium' producer in the world, today announced the start of production at the expansion of the EGA Spectro Alloys aluminium recycling plant in Minnesota in the United States. The expansion adds 55 thousand tonnes of secondary billet production capacity in the first phase. The ramp-up to full production is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2026. The expansion takes EGA Spectro Alloys' total production capacity to 165 thousand tonnes per year of recycled aluminium ingots and billets. Metal from the expansion project will be sold under EGA's recycled aluminium product brand RevivAL. The completion of the expansion project at EGA Spectro Alloys brings EGA's global aluminium recycling capacity to 195 thousand tonnes per year, with plants in the United States and Germany. EGA is currently building the UAE's largest aluminium recycling plant in Al Taweelah, which will have a capacity of 170 thousand tonnes per year of aluminium billets. The UAE recycling plant is expected to begin production in the first half of 2026. Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Global Aluminium , said today: 'Reaching first hot metal at the expansion of EGA Spectro Alloys is another milestone in our drive to build a global aluminium recycling business to meet growing demand for this low carbon metal. It is also a milestone in EGA's growth in the United States, already one of our most important markets and where we are progressing our plans to build a primary aluminium production plant in Oklahoma.' Demand for recycled aluminium in the United States is expected to reach some 7.6 million tonnes per year by 2033, according to CRU, an independent business intelligence organisation. The United States is currently the world's second biggest recycled aluminium market. Recycling aluminium requires 95 per cent less electricity than making new metal, and generates a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions. In Oklahoma, EGA plans to develop the first new primary aluminium production plant in the United States of America since 1980. The plant is expected to have a production capacity of 600 thousand tonnes of primary aluminium per year, nearly doubling the United States' current production. Some 85 per cent of the aluminium needs of American industries, from automotive to aviation and construction, are currently met by imports.
