Poll: 60% of Americans disapprove of Trump's trade and tariff policies
According to a poll by NBC News Decision Desk, 45 per cent of US citizens said that they completely disapproved of Trump's handling of the issue, while 15 per cent said they somewhat disapproved read more FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Trump delivers remarks on tariffs, at the White House. Reuters A majority of Americans surveyed to express their approval of tariffs said that they do not support US President Donald Trump's handling of tariffs and trade with countries across the world. According to a poll by NBC News Decision Desk, 45 per cent of US citizens said that they completely disapproved of Trump's handling of the issue, while 15 per cent said they somewhat disapproved. The latest poll results are similar to those from a mid-April survey, which found that 61 per cent of respondents disapproved of his handling of the issue, while 39 per cent approved. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD That earlier poll followed Trump's April 2 'Liberation Day' announcement, in which he introduced over $600 billion in import tariffs affecting nearly all US trading partners, including tariffs nearing 100 per cent on Chinese goods. G7 pushes Trump for deal Meanwhile, world leaders at the Group of Seven summit in Canada on Monday pushed US President Donald Trump to back away from his punishing trade war, arguing that it poses a risk to global economic stability. Most countries represented at the G7 are already subject to a 10 per cent baseline tariff imposed by Trump, with European countries and Japan also hit with additional levies on cars, steel, and aluminium. 'Several participants asked to end the tariff dispute as soon as possible,' a senior German official told reporters on condition of anonymity. They argued that the dispute weakens the G7's economies and 'in the end will only strengthen China,' the official said. Trump signs deal with UK However, Trump has successfully signed a deal with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the summit, which would give London protection from any future tariffs. 'I just signed it, and it's done. And so we have our trade agreement with the European Union, and it's a fair deal for both, and it produces a lot of jobs, a lot of income,' Trump told reporters. Asked if the UK has impunity against future tariffs, the US president said, 'The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them – that's their ultimate protection.'

Chinese chatter: Why Beijing is worried about Modi's G7 visit
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Canada to attend the G7 talks, two big concerns seem to have gripped China's strategic G7 jointly deal with China's rare-earth control?Beijing's restrictions on rare earth exports in recent months disrupted global supply chains, particularly in the defence and automobile sectors. The Indian automobile industry was not Chinese sources, Beijing has been actively negotiating the issue with various countries, including India. On June 12, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong visited New Delhi and met Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and National Security Advisor Doval. The key agenda reportedly was to see if a deal could be reached where India's requirement for rare earths was exchanged for China's requirement of resuming direct flights between New Delhi and Direct flights are important for China from an economic perspective, because they ensure more Indian customers purchase raw materials and semi-finished products from the Chinese the Chinese side is upset that while on one hand, India is negotiating with China, on the other hand, it is publicly criticising it for abusing its dominant position in key minerals, portraying it as an "unreliable or untrustworthy" supplier, and loudly warning the world to be vigilant against China's "weaponisation of resources."India, the Chinese argued, is also threatening to look for alternative sources of rare earths around the world and accelerate the development of domestic rare earth reserves so as to reduce its dependence on China. The Chinese side noted that India was not the only one. On the eve of the G7 Summit, the United States, the European Union, Japan, and other countries jointly called for the establishment of a "rare earth security supply chain" to reduce dependence on China. Given the global trends, there is concern in Beijing that G7 leaders could take up the issue of jointly dealing with China's control of rare-earth prevent the formation of a global front against China's export control measures, the Chinese strategy has been to avoid a "one-size-fits-all" blockade for all. Chinese officials have also been negotiating individually with each nation on a case-by-case India, the overall sentiment is that, given India's continued unfriendly attitude, it rightly "deserves the pain". Chinese strategists further issued a warning that the G7 could do little to address India's rare-earth crisis. On the other hand, given India's industrial strength, it will probably take a long time for Indian companies to use the rare earth materials produced independently. Therefore, India has little choice but to continue importing rare earths from China, on Chinese Indian diplomacy balance the West and South?The other question that dominated the Chinese discourse was whether Indian diplomacy could balance the interests of the West and the Global has always been suspicious of the G7 platform. Despite the intergovernmental body actively inviting China to join it from 1999 to 2006, China has repeatedly refused, stating it would have to accept and abide by the rules set by the West and assume the international responsibilities assigned by them. It feared that joining the G7 would mean that China would either be subjected to a second 'Plaza Accord', humiliated like Russia, or lose the trust of the vast third world or the developing India, they noted, has chosen a different path. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar once positioned India as a "southwest country", implying it was a bridge between the West and the global South. India, they argued, is seeking to leverage the support of the G7, a Western camp platform, to demonstrate the international community's recognition of its economic size, to strengthen its global economic voice, and thereby enhance its influence in the global goal of becoming a developed country by 2045 is, in a way, also putting pressure on China, whose official stance is that "it will always be a developing country". China has long complained that the West's continuous attempts to force China to become a developed country are really only a ploy, aimed at slowing down China's economic development."India cannot have its cake and eat it too', argued Hu Shisheng, deputy secretary-general of the Academic Committee at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, adding that 'the roles it plays in the West and the global South are mutually contradictory, and India will sooner than later find itself in a rather isolated situation, where it fails to please either side'.advertisementHe cited India's absence from Russia's Victory Day parade or its refusal to criticise the US tariff war at the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting as evidence of India's policy of being a fence-sitter, 'playing both sides', thereby causing dissatisfaction among countries of the South, and diluting their Minister Modi's C position in the group photo of the 2024 G7 summit created ripples on the Chinese internet last year. This year too, China will keep a close eye on the G7 Summit to accurately grasp the geopolitical headwinds.(Antara Ghosal Singh is Fellow, ORF, New Delhi.
