EU push to protect digital rules holds up trade statement with U.S., FT reports
The European Union is trying to prevent the United States from targeting the bloc's digital rules as both sides work through the final details of a delayed statement to formalize a trade deal reached last month, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. EU officials said disagreements over language relating to "non-tariff barriers," which the U.S. said include the digital rules, are among the reasons for the hold-up of the statement, the newspaper said. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The European Union, the White House and the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The statement had originally been expected days after the July announcement by EU President Ursula von der Leyen and U.S. President Donald Trump, according to FT. The July deal imposed a 15% import tariff on most EU goods - half the initially threatened rate - and helped avert a broader trade war between the two allies, who together account for nearly a third of global trade. The U.S. wanted to keep the door open for possible concessions on the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), which Washington says stifles free speech and imposes costs on U.S. tech companies, according to FT, which added that the commission has said that relaxing these rules is a red line. The EU's DSA is a landmark law meant to make the online environment safer and fairer by compelling tech giants to do more to tackle illegal content, including hate speech and child sexual abuse material. The commission had anticipated that Trump would sign an executive order by August 15 to cut tariffs on EU car exports to the U.S. from 27.5% to 15%. However, a U.S. official signaled that this would be delayed until the joint statement was finalized, according to FT.

U.S. delegation's India visit reportedly called off as trade tensions simmer
A scheduled visit by U.S. trade representatives to New Delhi later this month has been called off, according to Indian news broadcaster NDTV Profit. The visit that was expected to take place between Aug. 25 and Aug. 29 will likely be rescheduled, NDTV reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The report comes at a time when trade relations between the two countries have soured with U.S. President Donald Trump imposing a 25% blanket tariff on Indian exports, and topping those with another 25% duties — expected to come into effect on Aug. 27 — as a "penalty" for India purchasing Russian crude. Both sides are in contact with each other, but a new schedule for talks not been finalized, the report said. Trump's cumulative 50% tariff rate on India is among the highest on any of the U.S.' trading partners, and has drawn a sharp response from New Delhi. India has said it was being targeted unfairly, while calling out the EU and the U.S. on their continuing trade with Russia. "It is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia. Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion [for them]," the country's foreign ministry said in a statement earlier this month. India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and the Office of the U.S Trade Representative did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comments. The U.S. is India's single largest export partner, with nearly 20% of its overall exports, or $86.51 billion worth of goods, shipped to the U.S. in fiscal year ended March 2025, according to the latest official data.

Fashion giants Shein and Temu in hot water after secret shopper investigation: 'Shocked'
Fashion giants Shein and Temu in hot water after secret shopper investigation: 'Shocked' Online fast-fashion giants Shein and Temu are facing pressure from European regulators after a secret shopper investigation uncovered serious safety violations in a range of their products. What's happening? The European Commission is cracking down on Shein and Temu after discovering dangerous and noncompliant products sold through the platforms. These include baby teethers with choking hazards, sunglasses with no UV protection, and children's raincoats laced with toxic chemicals. A report from members of the European Parliament also found banned substances linked to fertility and developmental harm in cosmetics sold on the sites. EU Justice Commissioner Michael McGrath said he was "shocked" by the findings, as reported by Euro Weekly News. This news is surfacing as the EU struggles to manage an overwhelming influx of imported goods. In 2024, the bloc received 4.6 billion cheap shipments under €150, double the number from the year before. Why are discount and fast-fashion retailers such as Temu and Shein concerning? These violations are putting people at risk. From toxic chemicals to unsafe children's products, the quality issues show how ultra-cheap imports are more dangerous and problematic than people think. In 2023, the EU issued a record 4,137 alerts for unsafe nonfood products. Shein's and Temu's business models are also concerning. Many of their items aren't made to last, feeding into the global mountain of landfill waste. About 101 million tons of textile waste are generated every year. And in the U.S., about 85% of all textiles end up in the dump each year. To make things worse, European companies that play by the rules face higher compliance costs, putting them at a disadvantage compared with low-cost international sellers skirting regulations. What's being done about it? In response, the EU is considering removing the €150 duty-free threshold and introducing a per-package fee to better fund customs, which is already being overwhelmed by the sheer number of orders. McGrath also plans to raise the issue with Chinese officials at the upcoming EU-China summit. Shein has responded by pointing to its compliance investments, and Temu shared a report about its seller vetting and compliance checks. But so far, EU officials remain unconvinced. Consumers can do plenty to curb the environmental effects of fast fashion and cheap retailers. First, rethink your shopping habits. Shopping secondhand can save money while cutting waste. Plus, thrifters often find luxury or valuable items at dirt-cheap prices. Learn about better alternatives in this guide to breaking up with fast fashion. While the scale of the issue is massive, awareness and action from everyday shoppers can help hold retailers accountable for the true cost of cheap goods.
