US, China seek to extend trade truce with London talks
US President Donald Trump accused China of violating a tariff de-escalation deal last month. (AP pic) LONDON : The US and China are to sit down at the negotiating table in London today to attempt to preserve a fragile truce on trade, despite simmering tensions. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and trade representative Jamieson Greer are leading the US delegation, president Donald Trump announced on Friday. Chinese vice-premier He Lifeng – who led Beijing's negotiating team at previous talks with the US last month in Geneva – would also head the team in London, China's foreign ministry announced at the weekend. 'The meeting should go very well,' Trump said on his Truth Social platform. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told Fox News today: 'We want China and the US to continue moving forward with the agreement that was struck in Geneva.' While the UK government reiterated that it was not involved in the content of the discussions in any way, a spokesman said: 'We are a nation that champions free trade.' UK authorities 'have always been clear that a trade war is in nobody's interests, so we welcome these talks', the spokesman added. Rare earths The talks in London come just a few days after Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping finally held their first publicly announced telephone talks since the Republican returned to the White House. Trump said the call, which took place on Thursday, had reached a 'very positive conclusion'. Xi was quoted by state-run news agency Xinhua as saying that 'correcting the course of the big ship of Sino-US relations requires us to steer well and set the direction'. The call came after tensions between the world's two biggest economies soared, with Trump accusing Beijing of violating a tariff de-escalation deal reached in Geneva in mid-May. 'We need China to comply with their side of the deal. And so that's what the trade team will be discussing tomorrow,' Leavitt said today. A key issue in the negotiations will be Beijing's shipments of rare earths – crucial to a range of goods including electric vehicle batteries and which have been a bone of contention for some time. 'Rare earth shipments from China to the US have slowed since President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs in April,' said Kathleen Brooks, research director at trading group XTB. 'The US wants these shipments to be reinstated, while China wants the US to rethink immigration curbs on students, restrictions on access to advanced technology including microchips, and to make it easier for Chinese tech providers to access US consumers,' she added. In April, Trump introduced sweeping worldwide tariffs that targeted China most heavily. At one point the US hit China with additional levies of 145% on its goods as both sides engaged in tit-for-tat escalation. China's countermeasures on US goods reached 125%. Then in Switzerland, after two days of talks, the two sides agreed to slash their staggeringly high tariffs for 90 days. But differences have persisted, including over China's restrictions on exporting rare earth minerals. The impact was reflected in the latest official export data released today in Beijing. Exports to the US fell 12.7% on month in May, with China shipping US$28.8 billion worth in goods last month. This is down from US$33 billion in April, according to Beijing's general administration of customs. There is also huge uncertainty around the outcome of other trade disputes. 'Green channel' Throughout its talks with Washington, China has also launched discussions with other trading partners – including Japan and South Korea – in a bid to build a united front to counter Trump's tariffs. On Thursday, Beijing turned to Canada, with the two sides agreeing to regularise their channels of communication after a period of strained ties. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chinese Premier Li Qiang also discussed trade and the fentanyl crisis, Ottawa said. Beijing has also proposed establishing a 'green channel' to ease the export of rare earths to the European Union, and the fast-tracking approval of some export licenses. China is expected to host a summit with the EU in July, marking 50 years since Beijing and Brussels established diplomatic ties.

Samenta calls for higher SST threshold to help SMEs
Samenta said many small businesses are already struggling with high costs, weaker customer spending and uncertainty in export markets. PETALING JAYA : The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (Samenta) has called on the government to raise the sales and services tax (SST) threshold or exempt micro and small enterprises to protect them from financial pressure when the The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (Samenta) has called on the government to raise the sales and services tax (SST) threshold or exempt micro and small enterprises to protect them from financial pressure when the revised tax starts on July 1. Samenta chairman William Ng said the current threshold of RM500,000 in annual turnover should be raised to RM2 million so that only medium and larger businesses are affected. He said that many small businesses are still dealing with high operating costs, weakening consumer demand and uncertainty in export markets — conditions that could get worse after the halt in US tariffs ends on July 8. 'Against this backdrop, revising the SST without sufficient exemptions or a higher threshold for SMEs risks compounding the cost burden on businesses that are least equipped to absorb it,' he said in a statement today. William Ng. 'This impact is not limited to raw material costs but extends to rent and business-to-business services that will now fall under the SST's expanded scope. 'These increases will almost certainly be passed on to consumers, further driving up the cost of living.' Ng also urged the customs department to immediately issue sector-specific guidelines to help SMEs determine their tax obligations under the expanded scope. 'Without clarity, many SMEs risk falling into unintentional non-compliance, despite the enforcement grace period until the end of 2025,' he said. He also asked for clarification on whether the tax should be applied based on when invoices are issued or when payments are received, especially for invoices sent before July 1. While supporting the idea of a fair and progressive tax system, Ng also criticised the lack of meaningful consultation with stakeholders. 'While we were given a briefing on the expanded SST, they cannot consider this a consultation when it is presented as 'fait accompli',' he said.

Vietnam's EV maker reports US$712mil net loss in Q1
Vinfast delivered 36,330 EVs in the first three months of the year. (EPA Images pic) HANOI : Vietnam's first homegrown car manufacturer Vinfast today said it recorded net losses of US$712 million in the first quarter of the year despite more deliveries. The communist nation's electric vehicle (EV) firm is aiming to compete with global giants such as Tesla but has struggled to break into the international market. The company said today it delivered 36,330 EVs in the first three months of the year, representing a year-on-year increase of 296%. Total revenues were US$656.5 million, up by almost 150% from the same period in 2024. Vinfast chairman Thuy Le said the increase in deliveries represented an 'encouraging start to 2025 amid ongoing global uncertainties'. Last year, the company's net loss was over US$3 billion despite almost tripling deliveries of its cars. Global trade has been disrupted by a tariff blitz launched in April by US President Donald Trump. Hanoi said last week it was making progress in talks with Washington to head off Trump's threatened 46% levy against export-reliant Vietnam. VinFast's parent company Vingroup is hugely powerful in Vietnam, and its business interests span everything from healthcare to real estate and education to tech.
