Swatch apologises, pulls ad in China over 'slanted eye' backlash
SHANGHAI: Swiss watchmaker Swatch has issued an apology and pulled ads featuring images of an Asian male model pulling the corners of his eyes up and backwards in a "slanted eye" pose. The images for the Swatch Essentials collection were widely condemned online in China, where many comments said they appeared to mimic racist taunts about Asian eyes. In an apology posted in both Chinese and English on its official account on the Weibo social media platform Saturday, Swatch said that it has "taken note of the recent concerns" and removed all related materials worldwide. "We sincerely apologise for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused," the statement said. It also posted the same apology on Instagram. Swatch Group did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further comment. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, is heavily exposed to China for revenue, with around 27 per cent of the group's sales last year coming from the China, Hong Kong and Macau region. Revenue for the watchmaker last year slumped 14.6 per cent to 6.74 billion Swiss francs (US$8.4 billion) in 2024, hit by a downturn in demand in China, where Swatch said it was seeing "persistently difficult market conditions and weak demand for consumer goods overall." --REUTERS

NATO-like protection in focus for Trump meeting with Ukraine, Europe
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump could offer NATO-like protection to Ukraine, and Russia is open to the idea, one of his top foreign policy officials said on Sunday ahead of a meeting with Ukraine and European leaders to hammer out details of possible security guarantees for Kyiv. "We were able to win the following concession, that the United States could offer Article 5-like protection," Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to Russia, told CNN's State of the Union programme. "The United States could offer Article 5 protection, which was the first time we had ever heard the Russians agree to that." Witkoff was referring to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which regards any attack against one of its 32 members as an attack on all. He suggested that a security guarantee of that scale could be offered to Ukraine in lieu of NATO membership, which Putin has ruled out. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and has been gradually advancing for months in the deadliest war in Europe for 80 years. Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who were both in the room when Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, gave a series of TV interviews ahead of a Monday meeting in Washington with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and leaders of some European allies. "We made some progress, we believe, and now we have to follow up on that progress," Rubio told CNN's State of the Union about the meeting with Putin. "Ultimately, where this should lead is to a meeting between the three leaders — Zelenskiy, Putin and President Trump — where we can finalise, but we've got to get this thing closer before we get to that point." Russian officials are opposed to Western troops in Ukraine but have not ruled out a security guarantee for Kyiv. Speaking during a joint media appearance with Trump after their nearly three-hour-long meeting, Putin said on Friday: "I agree with President Trump. He said today that Ukraine's security must be ensured by all means. "Of course, we are ready to work on this." Witkoff told Fox News Sunday that Russia had also agreed to passing a law against taking any more of Ukraine by force. "The Russians agreed on enshrining legislatively language that would prevent them, or that they would attest to, not attempting to take any more land from Ukraine after a peace deal, where they would attest to not violating any European borders," he said. Any security guarantees offered to Zelenskiy could also include a commitment from the United States, Rubio told Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, an option that many of Trump's MAGA supporters have rejected up to now. "It would be a very big move by the president if he were to offer a US commitment to a security guarantee," Rubio said. "It tells you how badly he wants peace, how much he values peace, that he would be willing to make a concession like that ... That's what we'll talk about tomorrow." In a social media post, Trump wrote: "BIG PROGRESS ON RUSSIA. STAY TUNED!" but he gave no details. Rubio said US officials discussed security details for Ukraine with the national security advisers of multiple European countries on Saturday, adding that the aim would be to build in details that could ultimately be presented to Russia as part of a peace agreement. He told Fox News that the talks between Trump and Putin on Friday had narrowed the number of key issues, which include drawing borders and military alliances for Ukraine as well as security guarantees. "There's a lot of work that remains," Rubio added. According to sources, Trump and Putin discussed proposals for Russia to relinquish tiny pockets of occupied Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine ceding a swathe of fortified land in the east and freezing the front lines elsewhere. Rubio said Russia and Ukraine would not be able to get everything they want. "If one side gets everything they want, that's not a peace deal. "It's called surrender, and I don't think this is a war that's going to end anytime soon on the basis of surrender," Rubio told CNN. In a separate interview on ABC, Rubio said if a deal could not be reached to end the war, existing US sanctions on Russia would continue, and more could be added. When Zelenskiy visited the White House in February, the meeting ended in a shouting match. "Rubio, speaking to CBS, dismissed the idea that the European leaders were coming to Washington to protect Zelenskiy. "They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelenskiy from being bullied. They're coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans," he said. "We invited them to come."

No plans yet to penalise China for buying Russian oil
FILE PHOTO: A view shows a pressure gauge near oil pump jacks outside Almetyevsk, in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia July 14, 2025. REUTERS/Stringer/File Photo WASHINGTON: US president Donald Trump says he does not immediately need to consider retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil but might have to 'in two or three weeks'. Trump has threatened sanctions on Moscow and secondary sanctions on countries that buy its oil if no moves are made to end the war in Ukraine. China and India are the top two buyers of Russian oil. The president last week imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing its continued imports of Russian oil. However, Trump has not taken similar action against China. He was asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity if he was now considering such action against Beijing after he and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce an agreement to resolve or pause Moscow's war in Ukraine. 'Well, because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that,' Trump said after his summit with Putin in Alaska. 'Now, I may have to think about it in two weeks or three weeks or something, but we don't have to think about that right now. I think, you know, the meeting went very well.' Chinese President Xi Jinping's slowing economy will suffer if Trump follows through on a promise to ramp up Russia-related sanctions and tariffs. — Reuters
