Trump: Xi Jinping Is a Tough Negotiator - Jordan News
Former U.S. President Donald Trump described Chinese President Xi Jinping as 'a very tough person to negotiate with,' in a new statement posted on Truth Social, amid rising tensions between Washington and Beijing despite a recently agreed tariff truce. اضافة اعلان 'I like President Xi—I always have, and I still do—but he is very tough, and it's very hard to make any deal with him!!!' Trump wrote. His remarks come after trade talks meant to usher in a new phase of cooperation between the two global powers stalled, despite a 90-day truce deal signed in Geneva last month to temporarily freeze mutual tariffs. Mutual Accusations Amid Stalled Talks Trump accused China of violating the agreement, while Beijing denied the claims, instead accusing the United States of undermining mutual understandings through recent actions, particularly in technology and education sectors. Delayed Phone Call Between Leaders Although a phone call between Trump and Xi was expected to revive momentum, it has not yet taken place. Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said the call would "likely happen this week," while Treasury Secretary Scott Peasent expressed hope that key issues could be resolved during a near-future conversation. However, China's Foreign Ministry responded that it had 'no information' regarding any such call. Escalating Sanctions and Restrictions On the ground, tensions have continued to rise: The U.S. doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%. Restrictions were imposed on companies using AI chips from Chinese tech giant Huawei. Visa limitations were introduced targeting Chinese students with ties to the Communist Party or sensitive scientific fields. In response, China maintained export controls on rare earth minerals—crucial to electronics, electric vehicles, and defense industries—a move the Trump administration views as retaliatory. Diplomatic Engagement in Beijing Amid these tensions, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with new U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue in Beijing, urging Washington to 'return relations to the right track.' Responding to Trump's comments, China's Foreign Ministry reiterated that its stance on relations with the U.S. remains consistent and clear.

US formally lifts sanctions on Syria
The United States on Friday lifted comprehensive economic sanctions on Syria, marking a dramatic policy shift following the end of Bashar al-Assad's regime and opening the door for new investment in the war-torn country. Syria must "continue to work towards becoming a stable country that is at peace, and today's actions will hopefully put the country on a path to a bright, prosperous and stable future," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. The US Department of State is also issuing a waiver under Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act (Caesar Act) that will enable America's foreign partners, allies, and the region to 'further unlock Syria's potential' – the department said in a statement. 'This is just one part of a broader U.S. government effort to remove the full architecture of sanctions imposed on Syria due to the abuses of the Bashar al-Assad regime,' it continued. The sanctions relief 'does not allow for transactions that benefit Russia, Iran, or North Korea—key supporters of the former Assad regime,' the department declared.

Dollar swoons on fiscal worries, bitcoin extends record rally
Ammon News - U.S. fiscal concerns and a tepid auction of Treasury bonds pushed the dollar to a two-week low versus the yen on Thursday, while the U.S. Congress moved closer to passing President Donald Trump's bill for massive cuts in taxes and spending. The lacklustre 20-year bond sale reinforced the "Sell America" narrative, weighing not just on the dollar but on Wall Street as well, with traders already jittery after Moody's cut the triple-A U.S. credit rating last week. Bitcoin pushed to an all-time high on Thursday, partly as investors sought out alternatives to U.S. assets. Gold also benefited, reaching an almost two-week top of $3,325.79 and putting it within $175 of April's record peak. "Despite falling equities, the U.S. dollar has not seen traditional safe-haven demand, with gold, the euro and the yen instead benefiting," said James Kniveton, a senior corporate FX dealer at Convera. In the process of getting Trump's bill to the Senate, "fiscal restraint could emerge, but market sentiment suggests scepticism," he said. The dollar slipped as much as 0.4% to 143.15 yen , the weakest level since May 7. The euro was last flat at $1.1326, after rising 0.4% on Wednesday for a third straight session. Sterling rose 0.1% to $1.3431. The Swiss franc ticked up 0.1% to 0.8246 per dollar.
