Saudi foreign minister arrives in Syria for economic talks
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived in Damascus on Saturday with an economic delegation on a visit to discuss ways to support Syria's war-ravaged economy, authorities said. On a visit to Riyadh earlier this month, US President Donald Trump said he would lift US sanctions on Syria, a move that paves the way for economic recovery in the war-torn country. Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani welcomed Prince Faisal, who is 'heading a high-level delegation,' on arrival at Damascus airport, a Syria foreign ministry statement said. The pair were scheduled to hold a press conference this afternoon. A Saudi foreign ministry statement said Prince Faisal would meet with President Ahmed al-Sharaa and 'the high-level economic delegation' would hold talks with Syrian officials about ways of cooperating 'that contribute to supporting Syria's economy and strengthen institution building.' In February, al-Sharaa visited Saudi Arabia in his first trip abroad as president. Last month, Saudi Arabia and Qatar announced they would settle Syria's debt to the World Bank totaling roughly $15 million. Damascus is hoping that the lifting of sanctions, particularly by the United States, will pave the way for support from the international community. Years of war and sanctions have battered the country's economy, infrastructure and industry. A recent United Nations Development Program report estimated Syria's 'lost GDP' during the 2011-2024 war to be around $800 billion. Prince Faisal first visited Syria's new authorities in January. with AFP

EU Commission ‘strongly' regrets announced increase in US steel tariffs
The European Commission said on Saturday that it 'strongly' regrets an announced increase of US tariffs on steel imports and that the EU is prepared to impose countermeasures. US President Donald Trump said on Friday he planned to increase tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50 percent from 25 percent, putting more pressure on global steel producers and deepening his trade war. 'We strongly regret the announced increase of US tariffs on steel imports from 25 percent to 50 percent,' a European Commission spokesperson said in an emailed statement. 'This decision adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic,' the spokesperson said, adding that 'the tariff increase also undermines ongoing efforts to reach a negotiated solution.' The spokesperson noted that the European Union had paused its countermeasures to create space for continued negotiations. 'The EU is prepared to impose countermeasures, including in response to the latest US tariff increase,' the spokesperson said. 'The European Commission is currently finalizing consultations on expanded countermeasures. If no mutually acceptable solution is reached, both existing and additional EU measures will automatically take effect on 14 July — or earlier, if circumstances require,' they added.
