EU, Indonesia strike political agreement to advance free trade deal
The trade deal, dubbed Cepa for Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, will create more opportunities in key industries such as agriculture and the automotive sector, von der Leyen added.
'There's a lot of untouched potential in our trade relationship, and therefore this agreement comes at the right time because the new agreement will open new markets', she said at a press conference with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
Said Subianto: 'We consider Europe to be very important to us. That's why we would like to see more European presence and more European participation in our economy. I think that in this era of instability or confusion, we are setting a right example.' Reuters

EU plans to engage more with other nations hit by US tariffs: Sources
The move comes as talks between the EU and the US have dragged on and continue to be stuck on several issues. The EU is preparing to step up its engagement with other countries hit by Mr Donald Trump's tariffs following a slew of new threats to the bloc and other US trading partners, according to people familiar with the matter. The contacts with nations including Canada and Japan could include the potential for coordination, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. The move comes as talks between the EU and the US have dragged on and continue to be stuck on several issues, including cars and tariff rates on agriculture. Member states were briefed on the status of talks on July 13. Earlier in the day, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc will extend the suspension of trade countermeasures against the US until Aug. 1 to allow for further talks. The measures had been adopted in response to tariffs imposed earlier by Mr Trump on steel and aluminium before being paused a first time, and were due to snap back into place at midnight on July 15. 'At the same time, we will continue to prepare further countermeasures so we are fully prepared,' Ms von der Leyen told reporters in Brussels on July 13, while reiterating the EU's preference for a 'negotiated solution.' The current list of countermeasures would hit about €21 billion (S$31.4 billion) of US goods, while the EU has another one ready of about €72 billion, as well as some export controls, that will be presented to member states as early as July 14, said the people.

'The ACI is created for extraordinary situations,' she said. 'We are not there yet.' In a social media post responding to Mr Trump's announcement, French President Emmanuel Macron called for the speeding-up of preparations for credible countermeasures, including the anti-coercion tool, if no agreement is reached by Aug. 1. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on July 14 evening said 30 per cent tariffs would hit exporters in Europe's largest economy 'to the core' if a negotiated solution in the trade conflict can't be found. Mr Merz said he was coordinating closely with other leaders to ensure tariffs of such magnitude don't come into force. 'That requires two things: unity in the European Union and good lines of communication with the American president,' the conservative leader told ARD in an interview. Mr Trump has sent letters to a slew of trading partners, tweaking tariff levels proposed in April and inviting them to further talks. In a letter published July 12, the US president warned the EU it would face a 30 per cent rate from August if better terms can't be negotiated. The EU had sought to conclude a tentative deal with the US to stave off higher tariffs, but Mr Trump's letter punctured recent optimism in Brussels over the prospects for an 11th-hour agreement. Other countries like Mexico, which has also been negotiating with the US, were surprised to receive similar letters. The EU is seeking a tariff no higher than 10 per cent on agricultural exports. An offset mechanism that some carmakers had pushed as a way to grant tariff relief to companies in return for investments in the US isn't under consideration for now, amid worries from the EU that it could shift production across the Atlantic. The bloc's negotiators are focusing talks on car tariffs instead, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. Negotiations between the US and EU are expected to continue this week, said the people. The US and the EU have been discussing an initial deal that would see most EU exports hit with a 10 per cent tariff, with limited exemptions for some industries such as aviation and medical devices, Bloomberg previously reported. The EU has also been arguing for lower rates on spirits and wines, as well as mitigating through quotas the 50 per cent tariffs that Mr Trump has imposed on steel and aluminium. The US has proposed a 17 per cent tariff on agricultural products. Any initial agreement would also cover non-tariff barriers, economic security cooperation and strategic purchases. In addition to a universal levy now due in August, Mr Trump has also introduced 25 per cent levies on cars and parts, as well as double that on metals. The president is working to introduce sectoral levies in other areas, including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, and recently announced a 50 per cent duty on copper. Any deal at this stage wouldn't automatically shield the EU from those sectoral measures, but the bloc continues to seek preferential treatment in the potentially affected industries. BLOOMBERG

King Charles to host Trump in September for state visit to Britain, palace says
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox MANCHESTER, England - Britain's King Charles will host U.S. President Donald Trump in September for his unprecedented second state visit to Britain, Buckingham Palace said on Monday. The visit will take place from September 17 to 19. "His Majesty the King will host the President and Mrs Trump at Windsor Castle," the palace said in a statement, adding that further details would be announced in due course. Trump said last month he had agreed to meet Charles after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer handed him a handwritten letter from the monarch in the Oval Office. The U.S. president will be the first elected political leader in modern times to be hosted for two state visits by a British monarch. The late Queen Elizabeth welcomed Trump to Buckingham Palace for a three-day state visit in June 2019 during his first term in office, during which he had a private lunch with the sovereign and had tea with Charles, who was then heir. Starmer and Trump are also due to meet in Scotland later this month, a source told Reuters last week, with details including the specific date yet to be finalised. The two leaders have developed a warm relationship in recent months, and last month signed a framework trade deal on the sidelines of a G7 meeting that formally lowered some U.S. tariffs on imports from Britain. In May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney criticised Britain's invitation to Trump for a state visit, saying it undermined his government's effort to project a united front against the U.S. president's talk of annexing Canada. Trump's past visits to Britain have attracted large protests, with his 2018 trip costing police more than 14 million pounds ($18.88 million) as 10,000 officers were deployed from all over Britain. Most Britons have an unfavourable view of the president, according to opinion polls. State visits are usually pomp-laden affairs featuring an open-top carriage trip through central London and a banquet at Buckingham Palace. REUTERS

Siemens and SAP call for EU to revise its AI regulations
ZURICH :Siemens and SAP CEOs have urged the European Union to revise its artificial intelligence legislation, saying the current rules stifle innovation. SAP CEO Christian Klein and Siemens CEO Roland Busch told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that a new regulatory framework is needed to support rather than hinder technological advancement. The EU's AI Act, which became law last year, governs the development and use of AI systems to ensure they are safe, transparent and respect fundamental rights. The law classifies AI applications into risk categories, according to which providers must meet certain security and transparency requirements. But Siemens' Busch said the Act was a key reason Europe is lagging, adding overlapping and sometimes contradictory regulations are hampering progress. He said the EU's Data Act, another law which sets out obligations on how companies use consumer and corporate data, was "toxic" for developing digital business models. While several companies including Google owner Alphabet and Facebook owner Meta recently wrote to Brussels asking for the rules to be postponed, Busch declined to sign their letter, saying the proposal did not go far enough. SAP's Klein warned against simply copying the U.S. and only investing heavily in infrastructure and data centres, emphasizing that infrastructure shortages are not the main barrier in Europe. Instead, both CEOs called for reforming data rules before investing in data centres.
