Trump tariffs live updates: US-China trade talks going well, could stretch into Wednesday, Lutnick says

Trade talks between the US and China resumed on Tuesday, with talks stretching well into the evening in London. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the talks were progressing "really, really well," but that they could stretch into Wednesday as the sides iron out details. After day one, US officials were upbeat but vague on progress. President Trump said on Monday he received "good reports" but added that "China's not easy." The high-stakes negotiations follow Trump's call with Xi Jinping last week, which both leaders framed as positive. US-China tensions have risen in the aftermath of the countries' trade truce reached in mid-May in Geneva, with both countries accusing the other of breaching that truce while ratcheting up pressure on other issues. The US and China are also now using their control over certain key materials to gain control in the trade war. Bloomberg reported on Friday that the US dominates in exports of ethane, a gas used to make plastics, and China buys nearly all of it. Washington is now tightening control by requiring export licenses. China's curbs on exports of rare earth minerals, crucial for autos in particular, have drawn Washington's ire. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet The US-China talks come as Trump pushes countries to speed up negotiations. The US sent a letter to partners as a "friendly reminder" that Trump's self-imposed 90-day pause on sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs is set to expire in early July. White House advisers have for weeks promised trade deals in the "not-too-distant future," with the only announced agreement so far coming with the United Kingdom. US and Indian officials held trade talks this week and agreed to extend those discussions on Monday and Tuesday ahead of the July 9 deadline. New tariffs are coming into play: Effective Wednesday, June 4, Trump doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%. Meanwhile, Trump's most sweeping tariffs face legal uncertainty after a federal appeals court allowed the tariffs to temporarily stay in effect, a day after the US Court of International Trade blocked their implementation, deeming the method used to enact them "unlawful." Here are the latest updates as the policy reverberates around the world. US-China talks stretched on Tuesday, and they may continue into Wednesday, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told reporters outside of Lancaster House in London, where delegations from both countries are meeting. "I think the talks are going really, really well," Lutnick said. "We're very much spending time and effort and energy — everybody's got their head down working closely." "I hope they end this evening," he added, "but if they need be, we'll be here tomorrow." The teams from China and the US, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, have been holding negotiations since Monday. The London summit followed a phone call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Overall, US seaborne imports fell 7.2% annually in May to 2.18 million 20-foot equivalent units. The decline snaps a streak of increases fueled by companies frontloading goods to avoid higher duties, which has kept US seaports, such as the Port of Long Beach, busy.

Katrina Kaif's Kay Beauty to Launch at Space NK

Indian mass cosmetics brand Kay Beauty, founded by Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, will launch this summer at Space NK, the retailer's chief executive Andy Lightfoot revealed on stage at day one of The Business of Beauty Global Forum in Napa Valley, California. 'Just keep it between us and the thousands of people watching online,' Lightfoot joked to executive editor Priya Rao during the forum's first session, where he spoke alongside Nykaa Beauty CEO Anchit Nayar. Kay Beauty was launched in 2019 by Kaif in partnership with Nykaa Beauty, India's largest beauty retailer. Space NK is the brand's first retail partnership outside of India, and the brand will launch there in August, in tandem with Space NK's store opening in Birmingham, its largest store outside of London. Lightfoot said the retailer discovered the brand when Space NK chief commercial officer Margaret Mitchell met Nayar in 2022 at The Business of Beauty Global Forum, citing it as an example of the retailer's differentiating strategy of 'hunting' compelling and rare beauty labels. 'Our mentality is to find those brands, wherever they are, and bring them back to the UK,' Lightfoot said, noting that 13 percent of the country's population come from the Indian subcontinent. Kay Beauty's collection spans products for the lips, eyes and complexion, with most prices under 1500 INR ($14 USD).
