Tariff Tracker, June 14: US-China talks restore May 12 status, World Bank forecasts slowdown
Dear reader, Washington will host a massive military parade commemorating 250 years of the US Army on Saturday (June 14), which also happens to be US President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. The event is estimated to cost between $25 million and $45 million, and feature over 6,000 soldiers, 128 army tanks, armoured personnel carriers and artillery, as well as an aerial display featuring 62 aircraft, according to AP reporting. Traditionally, US military parades have been conducted at the end of a war to celebrate victory or to welcome the returning troops. The last military parade took place in 1991 at the end of the Gulf War, and was a less contentious event than Saturday's festivities. The timing is significant as well. Over the last week, the Trump administration has initiated a new phase of its sweeping crackdown against illegal immigration. Raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the garment district in Los Angeles resulted in a flurry of arrests, triggering protests by residents. As the standoff escalated, the US President fanned the fire further, deploying the National Guard and Marines in the city. These moves are unprecedented – the last time a US president deployed the National Guard bypassing a state governor's mandate, it was Lyndon B Johnson in 1958 (check year) seeking to protect Civil Rights activists marching from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama. The use of the National Guard, typically a decision exercised by the state, was challenged in court by California Governor Gavin Newsom, and a federal court ruled in his favour on Friday, ordering control of the troops to be restored to Newsom. However, this order was almost immediately stayed following an appeal by the Trump administration. The latest round of trade talks between the US and China this week reportedly resulted in a handshake agreement between the officials of the two countries on Wednesday (June 11) in London. In a social media post, Trump wrote, 'OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI (Jinping) AND ME.' While details of the agreement are still to be revealed, reports suggest a return to the terms agreed by both countries on May 12 in Geneva. You will recall that the US and China agreed to lower their tariffs on each other by 115%, reducing US tariffs on China to 30% and Chinese tariffs to 10%. The escalating trade war between the US and China began in February, with Trump announcing a 10% fentanyl tariff on China along with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which was doubled to 20% in March. Unlike other nations, China did not immediately seek talks with the US president, and instead, announced countermeasures targeting Liquefied Natural Gas, coal, and farm machinery, among other products. Trump's Liberation Day tariff announcements singled out China, and in the days that followed, saw US tariffs on Chinese products reach 145%, while China charged 125% tariffs. China also decided to hit the US (and by extension the rest of the world) where it hurts most, by announcing an elaborate licensing system to restrict rare earths exports, citing a national security risk. We explained why this move is significant in the Tariff Tracker on June 2. The May 12 agreement had extracted an assurance from the Chinese side to resume rare earths exports. However, the Trump administration accused China of acting slowly in this regard and moved to retaliate, restricting access to a range of software, products, chemicals and technologies critical to the Chinese manufacture of advanced chips and jet engines. Ultimately the a detente became possible following a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last Thursday (June 5) to iron out the differences. For now, the talks have resulted in one certain outcome – that American restrictions on exports of tech and ethane gas to China, as well as visa restrictions targeting Chinese students, would be removed. In exchange, China has agreed to grant rare earths licences to US firms, according to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. However, these licences would only be valid for 6 months, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal citing people familiar with the matter. On May 29, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed an order by the US Court for International Trade, which had ruled Trump's tariffs were illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 1977 (IEEPA). These pertained to two sets of tariffs – the Liberation Day tariffs, which stipulated a 10% baseline tariff for all countries and the country-specific tariffs, as well as the fentanyl tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. On Tuesday (June 10), the appeals court ruled that the tariffs could continue even as legal challenges against them were being heard. However, the court allowed for the cases challenging the tariffs to be expedited, and that the case will be heard on a sped-up basis by the full panel of judges at the court. 'The court also concludes that these cases present issues of exceptional importance warranting expedited en banc consideration of the merits in the first instance,' the order said. The May 29 ruling had said that Trump had exceeded his powers as president in using the emergency powers under the IEEPA to impose tariffs on all countries, using the US's trade deficit as a rationale. In the Tariff Tracker on May 29, we explained how emergency laws have been used in the US, and how the federal court ruled thus. In its biannual Global Economic Prospects report, the World Bank forecasted a global economic slowdown due to 'substantial headwinds, emanating largely from an increase in trade tensions and heightened global policy uncertainty.' However, this would likely stop short of a full-blown recession. The World Bank also announced that the fallout of Trump's tariffs could lead to the weakest decade of economic growth since the 1960s, with global output expected to slow to 2.3% in 2025 from 2.8% last year. The decline would be most acutely felt by the US, with growth estimated to decline to 1.4% from 2.8% last year. 'The rise in trade barriers, heightened uncertainty and the spike in financial market volatility are set to weigh on private consumption, international trade and investment,' the report said. It also anticipated a decline in investment 'due to record-high uncertainty, the rise in financing costs, and reduced domestic and external demand.' The World Bank also said that if the tariff rates were to be halved, global economic growth could rise by 0.2% over the next two years. Emerging markets and developing economies would continue to outperform developed nations this year too, but the extent of growth would not be sufficient to narrow income gaps with richer countries, boost job creation, and reduce extreme poverty. India is projected to grow by 6.3% over 2025-26, the fastest-growing large economy. In the face of global uncertainty, investments and exports would remain subdued. The number aligns with the IMF's forecast of 6.2% over the coming year in its World Economic Outlook report.

India moves to conserve its rare earths, seeks halt to Japan exports: Report
Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal asked IREL to stop its exports of rare earths, mainly neodymium, a key material used in magnets for electric vehicle motors, one of the sources said. (Image used only for representational purpose) (REUTERS) Check Offers India has asked state-run miner IREL to suspend a 13-year-old agreement on rare earth exports to Japan and to safeguard supplies for domestic needs, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, aiming to reduce India's dependence on China. IREL also wants to develop India's capacity for rare earth processing, which is dominated globally by China and has become a weapon in escalating trade wars. China has curbed its rare earth materials exports since April, pressuring automakers and high-tech manufacturers worldwide. In a recent meeting with auto and other industry executives, Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal asked IREL to stop its exports of rare earths, mainly neodymium, a key material used in magnets for electric vehicle motors, one of the sources said. The Commerce Ministry, IREL and the Department of Atomic Energy, which oversees IREL, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The sources declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. Under a 2012 government agreement, IREL supplies rare earths to Toyotsu Rare Earths India, a unit of Japanese trading house Toyota Tsusho, which processes them for export to Japan where they are used to make magnets. In 2024, Toyotsu shipped more than 1,000 metric tons of rare earth materials to Japan, commercially available customs data showed. That is one-third of the 2,900 tons mined by IREL, although Japan relies mainly on China for its rare earths supply. Toyota Tsusho and Toyotsu did not immediately respond to requests for comment. IREL has been exporting rare earths due to a lack of domestic processing capacity, but following the recent disruptions to supplies of Chinese material it wants to keep its rare earths at home and expand domestic mining and processing, a second source said, adding that IREL is awaiting statutory clearances at four mines. However, India may not immediately be able to stop supplies to Japan because they fall under a bilateral government agreement, the person said. IREL wants this to be "amicably decided and negotiated because Japan is a friendly nation", the person added. Japan's Trade Ministry said in a statement to Reuters: 'We would like to refrain from answering questions about bilateral exchanges in general, not just about this matter." EXPANSION PLANS China's recent export controls on rare earth materials have rocked the global auto industry, which has warned of supply chain disruptions and production halts. China also weaponised its supplies in 2010, when it briefly stopped shipments to Japan. That prompted the Japanese to turn to India for rare earths. India has the world's fifth-largest rare earth reserves, at 6.9 million metric tons, but there is no domestic magnet production. India relies on imported magnets, mainly from China. In the fiscal year to March 2025, India imported 53,748 metric tons of rare earth magnets, government data showed. These are used in automobiles, wind turbines, medical devices and other manufactured goods. Rare earth mining is restricted to IREL, which supplies India's Atomic Energy Department with materials for nuclear power projects and defence-related applications. India lacks wide-scale technology and infrastructure to mine rare earths, and the development of any commercially viable domestic supply chain is years away, analysts said. IREL has a rare earths extraction plant in the eastern Indian state of Odisha and a refining unit in Kerala, in southern India. The miner, founded in 1950, plans to produce 450 metric tons of extracted neodymium in the fiscal year to March 2026, with a plan to double that by 2030, the second person said. It is also looking for a corporate partner for the production of rare earth magnets for the auto and pharmaceutical industries, the person said. India is firming up plans for incentives to companies to set up rare earth processing and magnet production facilities to meet local demand, people familiar with the matter told Reuters earlier this month.
