Trump says a China trip is 'not too distant' as trade tensions ease
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Tuesday said a trip to China might be 'not too distant,' raising prospects that the leaders of the world's two largest economies may meet soon to help reset relations after moving to climb down from a trade war. Trump made the remarks while hosting Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House, where he praised the 'fantastic military relationship' with Manila as the U.S. looks to counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Yet, Trump still said the U.S. is 'getting along with China very well. We have a very good relationship." He added that Beijing has resumed shipping to the U.S. 'record numbers' of much-needed rare earth magnets, which are used in iPhones and other high-tech products like electric vehicles. Widely speculated about since Trump returned to the White House, a summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would be expected to stabilize — even for a short while — a difficult relationship defined by mistrust and competition. Beijing believes a leader-level summit is necessary to steady U.S.-China relations and that Trump must be wooed because he has the final say on America's policy toward China, despite more hawkish voices in his Cabinet, observers say. The question, however, is when. Danny Russel, a distinguished fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, said Trump has consistently shown his hunger for a visit to China and that Beijing has used that to bolster leverage. 'As soon as the leadership in Beijing is satisfied that Trump will be on his best behavior and will accept terms for a deal that they think are favorable, they will give a green light to the visit,' Russel said. Sun Yun, director of the China program at the Washington-based think tank Stimson Center, said a visit 'is in the making' with two sides likely to strike a trade deal. What Trump said might mean the visit would not be in September but "potentially November, but still depends on whether they play ball on trade and other things we want," Sun said. Trump's campaign to impose tariffs on other countries kicked off a high-stake trade war with Beijing. China raised tariffs on U.S. goods to 125% in response to Trump's hiking the tax on Chinese goods to 145%. Both sides also imposed on each other harsh trade restrictions on critical products: China on rare earths, and the U.S. on computing chips and jet engine technology. Trade tensions, however, eased following two rounds of high-level talks in Geneva and London, when the two sides agreed to lower tariffs — pending a more permanent deal by mid-August — and pull back on trade restrictions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday on Fox Business' 'Mornings with Maria' that he will be meeting with his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm next week to work on 'what is likely an extension' of the Aug. 12 deadline. 'I think trade is in a very good place with China," Bessent told host Maria Bartiromo. 'Hopefully, we can see the Chinese pull back on some of this glut of manufacturing that they're doing and concentrate on building a consumer economy.' He said he also expects to bring up China's purchases of Russian and Iranian oil and Beijing's role in aiding Moscow in its war against Ukraine. Beijing has not announced any travel plans for Vice Premier He Lifeng, who led trade negotiations in both Geneva and London on behalf of the Chinese government, but it is not unusual for China to make such announcements closer to a travel date. In a possible friendly gesture, Beijing on Tuesday said it suspended an antitrust investigation into chemical maker DuPont's operations in China. China's State Administration for Market Regulation made the announcement in a one-line statement but gave no explanation for the decision. DuPont said in a statement that it is 'pleased" with China's action. Chinese regulators launched the investigation in April against DuPont China Group, a subsidiary of the chemical giant, as part of Beijing's broad, retaliatory response to Trump's sky-high tariffs. Beijing also has agreed to approve export permits for rare earth elements and rare earth magnets that U.S. manufacturers need to build cars, robots, wind turbines and other high-tech products. The U.S. has eased restrictions on some advanced chips and other technologies.

Shareholder Alert: Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP Announces the Filing of Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Apple Inc.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, prominent investor rights law firm Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP ('BLB&G') filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging violations of the federal securities laws by Apple Inc. ('Apple' or the 'Company') and certain of the Company's current and former senior executives (collectively, 'Defendants'). The action is brought on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Apple common stock between June 10, 2024, and June 9, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'). This case is related to a previously filed securities class action pending against Apple captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., No. 5:25-cv-05197 (N.D. Cal.). The case is captioned City of Coral Springs Police Officers' Pension Plan v. Apple Inc., No. 25-cv-06252 (N.D. Cal.). The complaint is based on an extensive investigation and a careful evaluation of the merits of this case. A copy of the complaint is available on BLB&G's website by clicking here. Apple is a multinational technology company most well-known for its iPhone. It also sells other smart technology products and offers a variety of integrated software and services through the operation of various platforms, including the App Store. Since 2011, iPhones and other Apple smart devices have contained software for the Company's digital personal assistant, called 'Siri.' In recent years, a number of Apple's competitors have introduced artificial intelligence ('AI') capabilities, which put pressure on Apple to incorporate generative-AI technology into its iPhones and especially to introduce advanced AI-based Siri features. In 2020, Epic Games, Inc. ('Epic') sued Apple, challenging Apple's restrictions on app developers' ability to communicate with, and direct consumers to, purchasing mechanisms outside of those offered by Apple's App Store (the 'Epic Action'). Apple takes a 30% commission on all revenues generated from its App Store, and Epic's efforts to open other avenues for app-related payments posed a threat to one of Apple's major revenue streams. After the companies initially went to trial in 2021, the court presiding over the action issued a 180-page order enjoining Apple's 'anti-steering' rules, which the court found were anti-competitive (the 'Epic Injunction'). This injunction went into effect on January 17, 2024, after Apple had exhausted its appeals. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made misrepresentations and omissions that fall into two categories: (i) statements regarding the launch of new generative-AI based Siri features; and (ii) statements concerning Apple's compliance with the Epic Injunction, including statements relating to any impacts on revenue from this compliance. Throughout the Class Period, starting with the Company's 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple represented to investors that the Company would be rolling out a number of AI-supported features for Siri in the first half of 2025, promising that 'over the next year' or 'in the coming months,' Siri would gain AI functionality that would enable it to 'take hundreds of new actions in and across Apple and third-party apps,' and 'deliver intelligence that's tailored to the user and their on-device information.' The Company also repeatedly represented that it had implemented a plan to comply with the Epic Injunction. In truth, Apple faced significant undisclosed challenges in developing the generative AI-enabled Siri, including meaningful quality challenges, that would make it unable to rollout the features in the first half of 2025 as had been stated. Additionally, the Company willfully violated the Epic Injunction by implementing new measures to prevent developers from deploying competitive alternatives to in-app purchases. Apple's defenses and justification for those measures were reverse-engineered to hide its anti-competitive motives from the court and investors. The truth began to emerge during a series of evidentiary hearings held by the court in the Epic Action from February 24 through February 26, 2025, in response to a motion from Epic seeking to enforce the injunction and hold Apple in civil contempt. On February 25, 2025, a senior Apple employee testified that the impact on the Company's finances was a key factor in its decision to implement a particular anti-competitive aspect of its 'compliance plan,' and that eliminating this would cost the Company 'hundreds of millions if not billions,' in App Store revenue. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Apple common stock declined by $6.68 per share, or 2.7%. The truth was further revealed on March 7, 2025, when an Apple spokesperson was quoted by multiple news outlets, disclosing that the launch of the Siri generative-AI features would be delayed. Specifically, the spokesperson stated that '[i]t's going to take us longer than we thought to deliver on these features and we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year.' In response to this news, the price of Apple common stock declined by $11.59 per share, or 4.8%, the following trading day. The following week, on March 12, 2025, Morgan Stanley published a report, stating that '[t]he delayed rollout of a more advanced Siri means Apple will have fewer features to accelerate iPhone upgrade rates in FY26.' The report presented evidence that around 50% of iPhone owners who did not upgrade to an iPhone 16 said that the delayed Apple Intelligence rollout impacted their decision not to upgrade. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Apple common stock declined by $11.16 per share, or 5.1% over the following two trading sessions. Then, on April 3, 2025, The Wall Street Journal published an article criticizing Apple for overpromising on its AI capabilities and chiding the Company that it 'shouldn't announce products until they're sure they can deliver them.' On this news, the price of Apple common stock declined by $20.70 per share, or 9.2%. On April 30, 2025, the court presiding over the Epic Action issued an order finding Apple in willful violation of the Epic Injunction, holding Apple in civil contempt, and referring the matter to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California to investigate whether criminal contempt proceedings were appropriate. Finally, on June 9, 2025, Apple held its 2025 Worldwide Developer Conference where it notably failed to announce any updates regarding advanced Siri features beyond that the Company 'needed more time to reach a high quality bar.' Industry commentators were underwhelmed with this news, with CNN commenting that 'it's unlikely that any of the announcements made at Monday's event will change the perception that Apple is behind its competitors in AI.' These disclosures caused the price of Apple common stock to decline by $2.47 per share, or 1.2%. The filing of this action does not alter the previously established deadline to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff. Pursuant to the June 20, 2025 notice published in connection with the Tucker action, under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Apple securities during the Class Period may, no later than August 19, 2025, seek to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff for the Class. Any member of the proposed Class may seek to serve as Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain a member of the proposed Class.
