US could soon lift international student visa restrictions
The administration of US President Donald Trump may soon end its temporary restrictions on international student visa applications, a move sure to bring relief to prospective scholars who had secured spots at US universities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last month told embassies and consulates around the world to pause new foreign student interviews as the State Department implemented enhanced screening of applicants' social media histories. Mr Rubio also said he would cancel visas for Chinese students with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or who are studying in critical fields. But on Wednesday, Mr Trump said Chinese students would be allowed to attend US colleges and universities as part of trade negotiations with Beijing. "We will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities," he said on Truth Social. The Trump administration has taken particular aim at Harvard University, barring it from enrolling international students. Mr Trump has claimed the elite college has too many international students and has harboured anti-Semitism. A judge last month blocked his action against Harvard. The various directives and decrees relating to international students threw thousands of people's plans into disarray, leaving them uncertain as to whether they would be able to start their courses in the new academic year. On Tuesday, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce suggested that embassies and consulates would soon resume interviews for international student visas and said people should start looking for interview spots to open. "People should watch for those spaces to be open, should continue to apply. This is not going to be a lengthy or an ongoing dynamic," Ms Bruce told reporters. "It was meant for a specific, almost an administrative adjustment." She said the interview pause was to ensure embassies and consulates knew what to expect in terms of additional vetting. "And that process, we were told, would be rapid," Ms Bruce said. A protracted delay in student visas would hurt universities that rely heavily on foreign students' tuition fees. In 2023-24, the US hosted an all-time high of 1.1 million international students. About 90,000 are from the Arab World, according to estimates, while more than 300,000 are Indian. The Trump administration's clampdown on international student visa processing caused dismay across campuses in the US and among people hoping to study here. Dechen Parkel, 21, who is studying at George Washington University in the US capital, said reducing international student numbers would impact campus life for domestic students too. The university enrols about 2,800 students. "We live in a world where it's like, we're all connected," he said. "It would be sad to see them go, because I just think it's such a cool part of [Washington] DC. ... Being able to interact with people from different cultures is what makes college worth it." An international student at Harvard said the moves against the university and international students had been demoralising. "I feel like the visa ban is nonsense as it deprives the smartest students in the country to reach their full potential and finish their studies, and it turns the 'American dream' into an American nightmare," he said. "Morale is definitely down among students as we are all scared not knowing what will come next, but we're more united than ever. He said the changing visa regulations had impacted him personally as he is now afraid to leave the US over fears he would be denied re-entry. China is the second-largest country of origin for international students in the US, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 academic year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up about a quarter of all foreign students in the US.

A fragile truce reached during US-China trade talks
After 20 hours of intense negotiations in London – and a late-night delivery from a well-known restaurant – the US and China have emerged with a framework trade agreement that offers a pause in escalating tensions but falls short of a full breakthrough. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described the outcome with cautious optimism. 'We finally have meat on the bone,' he told reporters in London. 'This is progress – not just atmospherics – and it reflects meaningful give on both sides.' Three pillars of the London framework Tariffs stopped until August 10: Both nations have agreed to a temporary halt in tariff escalation to allow space for continued dialogue. Concessions from China have been agreed on to ease export controls on rare earth elements and industrial magnets, critical for the US defence and automotive sectors. This move is seen as a strategic opening, particularly given China's grip on global rare earth supplies. US concessions include a rollback on selected semiconductor restrictions, a signal that Washington is open to de-escalation in the sensitive tech space. Implementation or illusion? The agreement is now in the so-called 'implementation phase', awaiting ratification by Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. But the reaction from financial markets is one of cautious recalibration. 'Markets have seen the movie of a US-China deal falling apart, so too have markets seen the patch-up movie many times,' said veteran analyst Terry Haines at Pangaea Policy. Equities, bonds and foreign exchange markets registered only marginal moves. The hesitation is rooted in scepticism, given the long history of similar efforts unravelling. 'China's not interested in geopolitical moderation,' Mr Haines said. 'Today's geopolitical situation argues against China wanting to do any broad deals – especially with China's client states, Russia and Iran, both becoming more belligerent and difficult over the past week.' Cynicism or realism? The broader concern among analysts is that China may be engaging in what's been called 'extend and pretend' – offering incremental concessions to avoid conflict while avoiding deeper structural change. What happens next? Markets and risk takers have a simplistic take on 'fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me'. The framework agreed to in London represents a moment of stability in a volatile relationship, but few are mistaking it for a turning point. Markets, policymakers and analysts alike are watching closely – not for more words, but for tangible implementation and long-term change.

US-China trade deal is 'done', Trump says as tariff truce on track
A U.S.-China trade deal is "done," U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, hours after negotiators from Washington and Beijing agreed on a framework to get a fragile trade truce back on track and remove Chinese export restrictions on rare earth minerals and other critical industrial components. Trump took to his social media platform to offer some of the first details to emerge from two days of marathon talks held in London that had, in the words of U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, put "meat on the bones" of an agreement reached last month in Geneva to ease bilateral retaliatory tariffs that had reached crushing triple-digit levels. "Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me," Trump said on the Truth Social platform. "Full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China. Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!). We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%." A White House official said the 55% represents the sum of a baseline 10% "reciprocal" tariff Trump has imposed on goods imported from nearly all U.S. trading partners; 20% on all Chinese imports because of punitive measures Trump has imposed on China, Mexico and Canada associated with his accusation the three facilitate the flow of the opioid fentanyl into the U.S.; and finally pre-existing 25% levies on imports from China that were put in place during Trump's first term in the White House. The U.S. president later posted: "President XI and I are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!" Other specifics for how the deal would be implemented remained unclear. China's commerce ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment and more information. Framework for a deal Officials from the two superpowers had gathered at a rushed meeting in London starting on Monday following a call last week between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping that broke a standoff that had developed just weeks after a preliminary deal reached in Geneva that had defused their trade war. The Geneva deal had faltered over China's continued curbs on critical minerals exports, prompting the Trump administration to respond with export controls preventing shipments of semiconductor design software, aircraft and other goods to China. Lutnick said the agreement reached in London would remove restrictions on Chinese exports of rare earth minerals and magnets and some of the recent U.S. export restrictions "in a balanced way," but did not provide details after the talks concluded around midnight London time (7 p.m. EDT). "We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus and the call between the two presidents," Lutnick said, adding that both sides will now return to present the framework to their respective presidents for approvals. "And if that is approved, we will then implement the framework," he said. In a separate briefing, China's Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang also said a trade framework had been reached in principle that would be taken back to U.S. and Chinese leaders. Trump's shifting tariff policies have roiled global markets, sparked congestion and confusion in major ports, and cost companies tens of billions of dollars in lost sales and higher costs. The World Bank on Tuesday slashed its global growth forecast for 2025 by four-tenths of a percentage point to 2.3%, saying higher tariffs and heightened uncertainty posed a "significant headwind" for nearly all economies. The U.S.-China deal may keep the Geneva agreement from unravelling over duelling export controls, but does little to resolve deep differences over Trump's unilateral tariffs and longstanding U.S. complaints about China's state-led, export-driven economic model. The two sides left Geneva with fundamentally different views of the terms of that agreement and needed to be more specific on required actions, said Josh Lipsky, senior director of the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center in Washington. "They are back to square one, but that's much better than square zero," Lipsky added. It was not immediately clear from Trump's comments where things stood regarding the timeline for a more comprehensive deal that had been reached last month in Geneva. There, the two sides set August 10 as the deadline to negotiate a more comprehensive agreement to ease trade tensions, or tariff rates would snap back from about 30% to 145% on the U.S. side and from 10% to 125% on the Chinese side.
