US and China ‘back to square one' after two days of trade talks
Talks between the US and China are 'back to square one' after two days of trade negotiations in London failed to secure a major deal. Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's commerce secretary, said the two sides had agreed on a 'framework' to put their trading relations back on track and repair the truce initially agreed in Geneva last month. There was little market reaction to the announcement at Lancaster House shortly after midnight, with the dollar strengthening a little and stock markets opening marginally higher. The two sides have until Aug 10 to negotiate a more comprehensive agreement to ease trade tensions, or US tariffs on China will snap back from about 30pc to 145pc, with China's levies on America increasing from 10pc to 125pc. Josh Lipsky, of the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center in Washington, said: 'They are back to square one but that's much better than square zero.' Jim Reid, a Deutsche Bank analyst, added: 'While the mood music has stayed positive, investors may be wary of the pattern that emerged during the previous US-China trade talks in 2018-19, when apparently constructive in-person meetings seemed to take a step back as the negotiating teams returned to their capitals. 'So there's perhaps a little disappointment this morning that we haven't yet got a bigger announcement, even though there's time to hear the full conclusions of the meeting.' Senior officials from Washington and Beijing had gathered in London after accusations from both sides that they had violated the terms of the deal made in Switzerland. Mr Trump and Xi Jinping held a call last week that Mr Lutnick said 'gave the fundamental foundation on which we were able to reach agreement'. Mr Lutnick said: 'We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus and the call between the two presidents. 'The idea is we're going to go back and speak to President Trump and make sure he approves it. 'They're going to go back and speak to President Xi and make sure he approves it, and if that is approved, we will then implement the framework.' In a separate briefing, Li Chenggang, China's vice commerce minister, said a trade framework had been reached in principle that would be taken back to US and Chinese leaders. Mr Lutnick said China's restrictions on exports of rare earth minerals and magnets to the US would be resolved as a 'fundamental' part of the framework agreement. He also said the agreement would remove some of the recent US export restrictions, but did not provide details. Kathleen Brooks, the research director at XTB, a trading platform, said: 'Overall, the US-China trade agreement is taking its time, and it could test the market's patience.' Meanwhile, the European Union reportedly believes it could extend its trade negotiations with the US beyond the initial deadline next month. The EU thinks there could be scope for further talks if it agrees a deal in principle by July 9, which is considered its best-case scenario, according to Bloomberg. The Trump administration is scheduled to enforce 50pc tariffs on EU goods beyond that date unless a deal is reached. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

SINGLETON BIRCH, MLC AND CENTRICA REACH FUNDING MILESTONE FOR PRODUCING LOW-CARBON LIME USING HYDROGEN
NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE, England, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Singleton Birch, an MLC company, has partnered with Centrica Energy Storage Ltd to produce hydrogen fuel for low-carbon lime at its North Lincolnshire operation. The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has shortlisted the project for funding under the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2) initiative. Singleton Birch is part of MLC, an international provider of lime-based products, technical services and solutions. The MLC and Singleton Birch teams are developing shared investment strategies to reduce the environmental impact of producing lime, an essential mineral for many industries. "The UK funding supplements our investment to help us achieve our vision for this project, advancing progress toward our climate targets by cutting carbon emissions, reducing natural gas dependence and securing a reliable source of green energy. We're also evaluating its feasibility as a solution to leverage at other operations," said Fiona Woody, director of ESG and sustainability at MLC. Centrica will construct the hydrogen plant at Singleton Birch for commissioning in 2028. The plant will convert water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, providing 20% of the energy needed to fuel Singleton Birch's lime kilns, reducing natural gas consumption. HAR2 is a funding initiative to support low-carbon hydrogen production across the UK. According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, investment in hydrogen will enable decarbonisation of vital industries, economic growth, energy security and new jobs. "Carbon neutrality will require not only our own commitment to new strategies, but also new technologies, supportive legislation and appropriate infrastructure. Our partnership with Centrica and support from the UK government will help us to achieve ambitious goals for reducing our climate impact," said Edward Arnott, technical director at Singleton Birch. MLC has invested hundreds of millions of US dollars within the past several years on projects that reduce emissions, energy consumption and waste, as well as enhancing fuel flexibility and efficiency. At Singleton Birch, the company recently allocated capital to develop an eco-park to restore previously quarried land for beneficial use and is the proposed location for the hydrogen facility. Singleton Birch also made upgrades to its three anaerobic digesters, which provide renewable, bio-based energy for its own operations and the local electrical grid. Considering what's next, Woody explained that another promising area the company is evaluating is carbon capture. A separate MLC project to evaluate carbon-capture technologies was selected for negotiations by the US Department of Energy earlier this year and could provide learnings that could be leveraged internationally.

Whitebridge Capital Partners Acquires R&B Grinding in Racine, Wisconsin
Former division of J&E Companies to be Renamed CHICAGO, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Whitebridge Capital Partners, LLC today announced it is acquiring certain assets of R&B Grinding of Racine, Wisconsin, a 67-year-old manufacturer of machined components serving a variety of industrial customers including Fortune 500 OEMs. R&B was previously a division of J&E Companies. Whitebridge, Maynards Industries and Holland Industrial Group collaborated on the transactions and have a long-standing and shared history of successfully navigating complex transactions. The acquisition of R&B Grinding assets represents a collaborative solution to the challenges facing J&E Companies and underscores the firms' ability to provide thoughtful, value-driven outcomes in special situations. R&B Grinding will be renamed RB Industrial Manufacturing LLC, in recognition of the full range of machining processes the company can provide from its 140,000 square foot facility. "We are delighted to once again work with our colleagues Taso Sofikitis and Stephen Wolf at Maynards to restore approximately 100 jobs to Racine while rebuilding a strong and growing company," said Whitebridge partner Todd DiBenedetto. "With the renewed emphasis on domestic manufacturing and our background in revitalizing industrial businesses, we are confident that this will once again be a thriving business contributing to the local economy."

It recently acquired Wolf Industrial Advisors and appointed Stephen Wolf president of the industrial solutions group. Holland Industrial Group brings more than 40 years of expertise in industrial auctions, asset management, and real estate solutions. "We were able to align with Maynards to revitalize R&B and carve out a strong US-based business that can capitalize on the renewed national focus in American manufacturing," said Heinze. "We believe there is an opportunity to restore many manufacturing businesses that struggled due to the past emphasis on offshoring. That trend is now reversing and we are well-positioned to help companies reorganize." Whitebridge Capital provides both capital and hands-on management to distressed companies. "Our focus is on working directly with current ownership, current operators, current or new financiers by calling on highly creative deal structures to save US based manufacturing businesses," said Budz. Prior to forming Whitebridge, DiBenedetto was a co-founder and president of Big Shoulders Capital where he led numerous successful turnarounds for more than 15 years. Heinze specializes in organization restructuring through vendor consolidation, sales program re-design, recapitalization, cash management and manufacturing process improvements.
