Trump's Vietnam Deal Shows China Tariffs Won't Fall Much Further
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's new trade deal with Vietnam sends a clear signal about where US tariffs on Chinese goods might ultimately land, as talks between Washington and Beijing continue following their recent truce. NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds Massachusetts to Follow NYC in Making Landlords Pay Broker Fees Foreign Buyers Swoop on Cape Town Homes, Pricing Out Locals What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing Chinese goods currently face tariffs of around 55%, a level expected to remain through August. But under the latest Vietnam agreement, the US will slap a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports to the US and a steeper 40% levy on goods deemed to be transshipped — the latter targeting a well-worn backdoor used by Chinese exporters since the first China-US trade war to dodge American tariffs. By closing the loopholes, the Trump administration is signaling what any future deal with China might look like. The 40% tariff on transshipped goods suggests that even if tariffs on China are eventually reduced, they're unlikely to fall significantly below that threshold. 'The 40% figure in the Vietnam deal might reflect a broader conviction in the Trump administration about the appropriate tariff level on China, which would be similarly reflected in other bilateral deals,' said Gabriel Wildau, a managing director at Teneo focused on political risk analysis in China. 'However, I am skeptical that Trump has a specific red line for minimum tariffs on China.' Beijing and Washington reached a trade framework last month following talks in London, which remains in effect through mid-August. As part of the deal, China agreed to resume shipments of rare earths — key inputs for wind turbines, electric vehicles and military hardware. In return, the US offered to ease some export restrictions on ethane, chip-design software and jet engine components. US tariffs on Chinese goods have been cut back to around 55%, down from as high as 145% in early April. But 20% tariffs tied to fentanyl remain in place. Beijing has since tightened controls on two precursor chemicals used to make the drug — one of the few obvious avenues it has to win further tariff relief. 'The 20% is really the focal point where all the attention is centered right now,' said Christopher Beddor, deputy China research director at Gavekal Research. 'The thinking is that the Chinese government is very willing to do a deal on something related to fentanyl. They've been telegraphing that months.' Still, those efforts are unlikely to bring Chinese tariffs below the 40% rate now applied to Vietnam. If China's duties were to fall to 35%, for instance, it would restore a competitive edge to China and encourage firms to shift operations back, running counter to the Trump administration's broader objectives. 'If China ends up with a lower tariff level than Vietnam that would certainly shift the competitiveness calculations somewhat, but keep in mind that moving production facilities is not as easy as flipping a light switch on and off,' said Stephen Olson, a former US trade negotiator now with the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 'From the perspective of Chinese companies, there is zero confidence that once Trump sets a tariff level that it will remain at that level.' For now, here are signs both sides are following through on the terms of the London agreement and displaying signs of goodwill. The Trump administration has lifted recent export license requirements for chip design software sales in China, and approved US ethane exports to China without additional approvals. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Chinese rare earth magnets are flowing, although they haven't yet bounced back to the levels seen before Chinese imposed export curbs in early April. The US remains hopeful that China will further ease restrictions on those exports after their London deal, he said in an interview Tuesday on Fox News. Meanwhile, a senior Chinese official on Thursday delivered one of Beijing's most positive messages about his nation's ties with the US in weeks. Liu Jianchao, head of the Communist Party's International Department, said at the World Peace Forum that he was 'optimistic' about future relations. 'China is keenly aware of what it's gained from China-US cooperation,' Liu said 'Our cooperation is mutually beneficial. The act of putting up barriers will hurt the other and ourselves as well.' Other Negotiations Apart from Vietnam, Beijing is growing increasingly cautious about US efforts to strike trade deals that could isolate China. With a July 9 deadline approaching, when Trump's higher 'reciprocal' tariffs are set to take effect, American officials are ramping up negotiations with key partners in Asia and Europe. Washington is pushing for new deals that would include limits on how much Chinese components in goods can be used in exports for the US, or commitments to counter what the US views as unfair Chinese trade practices. India, another nation racing to complete a deal, has been negotiating over 'rules of origin.' What Bloomberg Economics says... 'The looming question now is how China will respond. Beijing has made clear that it would respond to deals that came at the expense of Chinese interests and the decision to agree to a higher tariff on goods deemed to be 'transshipped' through Vietnam may fall in that category. Given China's position as Vietnam's largest trading partner and key source of inputs for domestic production, any retaliatory steps could have an outsized impact on Vietnam's economy.' — Rana Sajedi and Adam Farrar. Click here to read the full report. Beijing on Thursday said it's taken note of the US-Vietnam trade deal and is currently assessing the situation. 'We're happy to see all parties resolve trade conflicts with the US through equal negotiations, but firmly oppose any party striking a deal at the expense of China's interests,' He Yongqian, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, said at a briefing. 'If such a situation arises, China will firmly strike back to protect its own legitimate rights and interests,' she added, repeating a familiar warning. Olson cautioned against relying too much on the US-Vietnam trade agreement as a blueprint for assessing Washington's approach to China. The stakes in US-China negotiations are significantly higher, shaped by strategic rivalry and a wider set of geopolitical considerations. There is also much less of a power discrepancy in the US-China discussions. 'One important takeaway for China from both the Vietnam deal and the previous deal with the UK is that the US intends to use these negotiations to apply pressure on China,' Olson said. 'This could lead China to a much more sober assessment of what it might be possible to achieve with the US in these negotiations.' --With assistance from Jacob Gu.

Former Mercury interim coach Nikki Blue accuses team in lawsuit of racial and gender discrimination
PHOENIX — Lawyers for former Phoenix Mercury interim coach Nikki Blue have filed a lawsuit against the organization, alleging unequal treatment based on race and gender, unequal pay based on race and that her employment was terminated in retaliation for complaints about unequal treatment. The suit was filed on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Arizona. Blue, who is Black, was hired in 2022 as an assistant coach and was named the team's interim coach in June 2023 after Vanessa Nygaard was fired midseason. Blue had a 7-21 record in the interim role. Blue was not retained after the season. The Mercury hired Orlando Magic assistant Nate Tibbets, who is white. The suit claims that Blue was paid $250,000 in her interim role, which was less than the $375,000 that Nygaard, who is white, was making. Tibbets is reportedly making more than $1 million per season. Blue also claims that the Mercury organization set her up to fail, making roster decisions in 2023 that made the team noncompetitive. 'Despite her exemplary record and professionalism, Ms. Blue was cast aside, demeaned, and denied the opportunity to lead,' the law firm Mesidor PLLC, co-counsel on the case, said in a statement. 'This lawsuit is not just about one woman's career — it's about the pervasive, institutional disrespect for Black women in sports leadership.' One of Blue's lawyers is Sheree Wright, who has filed other suits against the NBA's Phoenix Suns and the Mercury in recent seasons. 'This is the fifth lawsuit brought against the organization by Sheree Wright, an attorney who has been disciplined twice by the Supreme Court of Arizona for committing numerous violations of the rules of professional conduct — including making false and unsupported allegations of racial bias against a judge,' Suns and Mercury senior vice president of communications Stacey Mitch said in a statement. 'Like Ms. Wright's other cases, this case is completely meritless. Ms. Blue was interviewed and considered for the head coach position, but didn't get the position based on her performance as interim head coach, as well as her limited professional coaching experience. 'Sheree Wright's continued abuse of the legal system for financial gain is unethical.' ___ AP WNBA:

Man indicted for shooting near Dayton bar
Jul. 3—A man was indicted for allegedly shooting a man near a Dayton bar in June. Jacob A. Brady, 27, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of illegal possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises. Each felonious assault charges also included a three-year firearm specification. The charges stem from June 22, when Dayton police responded to a shots fired call at Pat's Bar, 2725 Linden Ave. When officers arrived, they learned a man had been shot and was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle, where he was listed in critical condition. Crews gathered bullet casings and began speaking to witnesses. According to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court, surveillance video showed a man, later identified as Brady, shoot a person. "It appeared that Jacob Brady shot (the man) due to a female that had dated (the man) and did not want to be romantically involved with Mr. Brady," a detective wrote in the affidavit. Brady told police he shot the man because he made threats, court documents said. "Mr. Brady was investigated on jail calls laughing at the fact he had shot (the man), stating, 'I'm gonna put that on a t-shirt, BLAM, that boy down,'" an affidavit read. Brady is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled to be arraigned July 8.
