US-China talks in London: Rare earths, export curbs on table
Talks between the US and China kicked off in London on Monday, with the US signaling a willingness to remove restrictions on exports in exchange for assurances that China is easing limits on rare earth shipments. The Trump administration expects that "after the handshake" in London, any export controls from the US will be eased and rare earths will be released by China, Kevin Hassett , head of the at the White House's National Economic Council, told CNBC. It was the clearest signal yet that the US is willing to offer such a concession. The first round of negotiations since the teams met a month ago is aimed at restoring confidence that both are living up to commitments made in Geneva. During those discussions, Washington and Beijing agreed to lower crippling tariffs for 90 days to allow time to hammer out ways to address a trade imbalance that the Trump administration blames on an unfair playing field. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Windows Users Don't Forget To Do This Before Monday Read More Undo Aim is to Dodge Clash The confusion after the Geneva meeting about China's rare earth export-permitting process, combined with US limits on tech shipments and Washington's recent crackdown on Chinese student visas, underscore the complexity of deal-making between China and the US.

The US and China "just want to get back to where they were in Switzerland with a few more agreements down on paper to understand what is gonna be licensed, what gets permitted, what doesn't," he added. A phone call last week between President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping appeared to give fresh momentum to reviving talks and reaching a deal. On Monday at London's Lancaster HouseUS Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will meet a Chinese delegation led by Vice Premier He Lifeng.

Uttam reaffirms Congress govt's commitment to people's welfare
Hyderabad: Irrigation and civil supplies minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Monday reiterated the Congress govt's focus on delivering basic needs—food, shelter, water, and essential services—to all citizens. Speaking in Miryalaguda during the distribution of Indiramma housing sanction letters, he emphasised the govt's mission to provide dignified homes to every family under the ₹22,000 crore scheme, which aims to build 4.5 lakh houses statewide, with each constituency receiving 3,500 homes featuring modern amenities. Uttam credited Congress workers for their role in the party's 2023 victory and lauded chief minister A Revanth Reddy, deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, and housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy for driving the ambitious housing initiative. Turning to irrigation, he assured that all pending projects in Miryalaguda will be completed within the current govt's term. He expressed concern over the Krishna river water sharing imbalance, accusing the previous BRS regime of neglecting Telangana's interests and allowing Andhra Pradesh to illegally divert more than 64% of the water since 2014-15. He highlighted expansions like the Pothireddypadu Head Regulator, which increased AP's water diversion capacity, adversely affecting Telangana's irrigation projects including Kalwakurthy and Palamuru-Rangareddy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo Uttam promised to resume work on the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel to secure 30 tmc of water for the Nalgonda region.
