G7 summit in Canada to see how EU, US align on Russia sanctions, says German official
G7 summit in Canada to see how EU, US align on Russia sanctions, says German official
BERLIN - The upcoming Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Canada will be about the extent to which the EU and U.S. align on sanctions against Russia, a German government official said on Thursday.
"In many respects, the G7 summit is also a milestone as far as Ukraine is concerned," said the official, adding that it was important to keep the United States engaged and move the sanctions debate "a little bit further" in the right direction.
On continued military and financial support for Ukraine, the official said realism was needed.
"If we maintain the status quo, that the Americans continue to provide certain very important services to Ukraine, then we are doing well," added the official. REUTERS

Trade partners grow restless waiting for Trump's tariff breaks
[LONDON] UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared at a Jaguar Land Rover factory in May that his world-leading trade deal with US President Donald Trump included a cut in US tariffs on British steel to zero. More than three months later, steel lobbyist Peter Brennan was still waiting for that relief to become reality. Brennan, director of trade and economic policy at industry body UK Steel, said most members had seen US orders fall because of the uncertainty over America's 25 per cent import tax. One producer that makes particularly price-competitive products said that they'd be out of business by year-end if tariffs are not reduced to zero, he added. 'Concern is growing that finalising the deal on steel has fallen down the priority list both for the UK and US governments,' Brennan said last week. 'The will to close the deal may well be faltering on both sides.' Frustration and economic losses like those in the UK are growing in Japan, the European Union and South Korea. Those three made similar announcements over the past month: that Washington granted them leniency on auto exports in the haggling over the level of Trump's across-the-board tariffs that took effect Aug 7. But for the trio of car export powerhouses, which, unlike the UK face a 50 per cent duty on their steel and aluminium, the wait for Trump's concession continues while an American levy justified on national security grounds on imported Toyotas, BMWs, Hyundais and others remains at a crippling 25 per cent.

Sign Up Sign Up 'We are continuing to see damage, the bleeding hasn't stopped,' Japan's chief trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said on Friday in a reference to the country's car industry. 'We want the US to sign the executive order as soon as possible.' Spokesmen for the White House, the US Trade Representative's office and the Commerce Department did not reply to requests for comment. 'Forever negotiations' It was three weeks ago that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shook hands with Trump in Scotland over what she called an 'all-inclusive' tariff of 15 per cent that officials in Brussels later understood to be a ceiling that would also apply to cars. VDA, which represents Germany's car industry, is pressing for fast implementation to alleviate a 'considerable burden' on manufacturers and their suppliers. 'The deal between the EU and the US has not yet brought any clarity or improvement for the German automotive industry,' VDA president Hildegard Müller said on Thursday (Aug 14). 'The costs incurred run into the billions and continue to rise.' Cecilia Malmstrom, the former European commissioner for trade who's now a non-resident fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, cautioned that any delays may be purely administrative. But 'if nothing happens, there will be huge pressure on the European Commission to retaliate or to act in some way, especially from carmakers in Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and others', she said. 'There are so many other things that are vague in the EU-US deal, and in the others as well, so it is likely we will see forever negotiations and a lot of filibustering.' At a press briefing on Aug 14, European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said that Washington and Brussels are finalising a joint statement. 'The US has made political commitments to us in this respect and we look forward to them being implemented,' he said. Japan's uncertainty Less than a week before the EU's announcement, the US and Japan clinched a surprise deal on Jul 22 that lowered across-the-board tariffs and car levies to 15 per cent. So far, the broader duties have been implemented, but the added tax on autos remains at 25 per cent. Officials in Asia's No 2 economy are waiting for an executive order from Trump to bring down the car levies, as well as an official directive, like the EU already received, to clarify that the universal tariffs don't stack on top of existing duties. Akazawa has mentioned how a Japanese carmaker is losing 100 million yen (S$870,500) every hour due to the tariffs. Last month, Nissan Motor said that it foresaw a 300 billion yen hit from the lower tariff rate, down from a previous estimate of 450 billion yen. But chief executive officer Ivan Espinosa has warned of the difficulties in giving an accurate forecast as long as it's unclear when the tariffs will take effect and in what way. Akazawa flew to the US earlier this month to confirm that the US will be adjusting its executive order soon to remove the stacking and pay back overcharges on tariffs. Neither has yet to materialise. Hyundai, Kia Facing similar questions is South Korea, which announced a trade agreement with Washington on Jul 31. That pact would impose a 15 per cent tariff on imports to the US, including autos, alongside a US$350 billion Korean investment pledge focused on shipbuilding, and US$100 billion in energy purchases. The 15 per cent universal tariff took effect earlier this month under Trump's order, but like Japan, the sectoral auto tariff remains at 25 per cent. While South Korea's exports overall have stayed resilient in the first half of the year, thanks to front-loading by companies anticipating higher US tariffs, the value of car shipments to the US fell nearly 17 per cent, and steel exports dropped more than 11 per cent, trade data showed. South Korea's top automaker Hyundai Motor and affiliate Kia could face as much as US$5 billion in additional costs this year even under the new 15 per cent auto tariff, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Joanna Chen. While avoiding a 25 per cent levy will save more than US$3 billion, the duty squeezes margins amid softer demand and tighter subsidies, intensifying competition with Japanese automakers, Chen said. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's planned summit with Trump on Aug 25, their first meeting since Lee took office in June, will test the durability of the US$350 billion investment pledge, as well as their alliance over sensitive issues such as defence spending, US troop levels and North Korea policy. 'Just overwhelmed' For Starmer and the UK, most aspects of the pact have now come into force, including a 10 per cent so-called reciprocal rate that's the lowest among all US trading partners. Yet Trump's 25 per cent tax on British steel still chafes amid the delays in cutting it. Among the issues to resolve is the US's insistence that steel should be melted and poured in the UK in order to qualify. That's a requirement which Tata Steel UK, one of the country's biggest producers, is no longer able to fulfil after closing down its blast furnace last year. Its new electric arc furnace is not due to be ready until late 2027. People familiar with the government's thinking are cautiously optimistic that they might be able to secure exemptions to the melt-and-pour rule, whereby steel imported from certain European countries before being further processed in the UK is allowed to qualify as British. 'It's not for lack of trying by the UK government,' said Tim Rutter, director of public affairs at Tata Steel. 'We hear that US departments are just overwhelmed.' A spokesperson for the UK Department for Business and Trade said officials will continue to work with Washington to implement the deal as soon as possible. Late on Friday in Washington, the US Customs and Border Protection agency issued new inclusions to steel and aluminium product lists for tariffs that take effect Monday, with some of the guidance affecting imports from the UK. Japan's Akazawa acknowledged that even with the UK, actual implementation of key parts of their deal took 54 days. As a result, he's said that it's 'not bad' if an executive order from the US comes by around mid-September. 'It's just further confirmation that negotiations never really end,' especially with more US tariffs coming for sectors including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, said Sam Lowe, a partner at Flint Global in London and head of its trade and market access practice.

Outline emerges of Putin's offer to end his war in Ukraine, World News
LONDON - Russia would relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine and Kyiv would cede swathes of its eastern land which Moscow has been unable to capture, under peace proposals discussed by Russia's Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at their Alaska summit, sources briefed on Moscow's thinking said. The account emerged the day after Trump and Putin met at an airforce base in Alaska, the first encounter between a US president and the Kremlin chief since before the start of the Ukraine conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is due to travel to Washington on Monday (Aug 18) to discuss with Trump a possible settlement of the full-scale war, which Putin launched in February 2022. Although the summit failed to secure the ceasefire he said he had wanted, Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that he and Putin had discussed land transfers and security guarantees for Ukraine, and had "largely agreed". "I think we're pretty close to a deal," he said, adding: "Ukraine has to agree to it. Maybe they'll say 'no'." The two sources, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said their knowledge of Putin's proposals was mostly based on discussions between leaders in Europe, the US and Ukraine, and noted it was not complete. Trump briefed Zelenskiy and European leaders on his summit discussions early on Saturday. It was not immediately clear if the proposals by Putin were an opening gambit to serve as a starting point for negotiations or more like a final offer that was not subject to discussion. Ukrainian land for peace At face value, at least some of the demands would present huge challenges for Ukraine's leadership to accept. Putin's offer ruled out a ceasefire until a comprehensive deal is reached, blocking a key demand of Zelenskiy, whose country is hit daily by Russian drones and ballistic missiles. Under the proposed Russian deal, Kyiv would fully withdraw from the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in return for a Russian pledge to freeze the front lines in the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, the sources said. Ukraine has already rejected any retreat from Ukrainian land such as the Donetsk region, where its troops are dug in and which Kyiv says serves as a crucial defensive structure to prevent Russian attacks deeper into its territory. Russia would be prepared to return comparatively small tracts of Ukrainian land it has occupied in the northern Sumy and northeastern Kharkiv regions, the sources said. Russia holds pockets of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions that total around 440 square km, according to Ukraine's Deep State battlefield mapping project. Ukraine controls around 6,600 square km of Donbas, which comprises the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and is claimed by Russia. Although the Americans have not spelled this out, the sources said they knew Russia's leader was also seeking - at the very least - formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, which Moscow seized from Ukraine in 2014. It was not clear if that meant recognition by the US government or, for instance, all Western powers and Ukraine. Kyiv and its European allies reject formal recognition of Moscow's rule in the peninsula. They said Putin would also expect the lifting of at least some of the array of sanctions on Russia. However, they could not say if this applied to US as well as European sanctions. Trump said on Friday he did not immediately need to consider retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil - which is subject to a range of Western sanctions - but might have to "in two or three weeks." Ukraine would also be barred from joining the Nato military alliance, though Putin seemed to be open to Ukraine receiving some kind of security guarantees, the sources said. However, they added that it was unclear what this meant in practice. European leaders said Trump had discussed security guarantees for Ukraine during their conversation on Saturday and also broached an idea for an "Article 5"-style guarantee outside the Nato military alliance. Nato regards any attack launched on one of its 32 members as an attack on all under its Article 5 clause. Joining the Atlantic alliance is a strategic objective for Kyiv that is enshrined in the country's constitution. Russia would also demand official status for the Russian language inside parts of, or across, Ukraine, as well as the right of the Russian Orthodox Church to operate freely, the sources said. Ukraine's security agency accuses the Moscow-linked church of abetting Russia's war on Ukraine by spreading pro-Russian propaganda and housing spies, something denied by the church which says it has cut canonical ties with Moscow. Ukraine has passed a law banning Russia-linked religious organisations, of which it considers the church to be one. However, it has not yet started enforcing the ban.

India confident of meeting fiscal deficit target, despite planned tax cuts
[NEW DELHI] India is confident of meeting its fiscal deficit target of 4.4 per cent for the current fiscal year, according to a government source with knowledge of the matter, despite its plans to cut consumption tax later this year. In the biggest tax overhaul since 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced sweeping changes to the complex goods and services tax (GST) regime which will make daily essentials and electronics cheaper. 'India's federal and state governments have options to offset any loss of revenue due to lowering of rates,' the government source said without providing further details. The source also said it will end the practice of collecting compensation cess by December. The GST compensation cess is an additional levy imposed on certain items to compensate states for any revenue loss incurred due to the implementation. India's finance ministry did not respond to a request for comment sent outside of office hours. REUTERS
