Trump tariffs live updates: EU weighs 10% tariff deal to dodge US hikes after Trump's unilateral tariff threat
Brussels negotiators hope that by agreeing to a 10% US tariff on all European Union exports, they can avoid higher tariffs on cars, medicines and electronics, according to a report in German newspaper Handelsblatt on Monday. Citing senior EU officials, the paper said the offer to the US would come with conditions and is not permanent. President Trump and other heads of state are preparing to gather in Canada this week for the annual G-7 summit. Tensions in the Middle East, following Israel's strike on Iran, are expected to dominate discussions, along with another hot topic: trade. Trump told reporters last week that he would send letters to trading partners in the next week or two setting unilateral tariff rates. 'At a certain point, we're just going to send letters out. And I think you understand that, saying this is the deal, you can take it or leave it,' the president said at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Soon after introducing steep new tariffs that roiled markets, Trump instituted a pause on his most punishing duties that expires July 9. His latest comment, however, only muddies the waters about what could happen next as the deadline approaches. Earlier last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress that it is "highly likely" that the tariff pause would be extended for countries that are negotiating with the administration "in good faith." The diverging signals came as the US made key progress with China, as the nations agreed to a framework and implementation plan to ease tariff and trade tensions. Trump signaled his approval, saying the deal was "done" pending sign-off from him and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump and other US officials indicated the deal should resolve issues between the two countries on rare earth mineral exports, though reports later indicated China would only loosen restrictions for a six-month period. Trump also said the US will allow Chinese students in US colleges, a sticking point that had emerged in the weeks following the countries' mid-May deal in Geneva. Trump said the US would impose a total of 55% tariffs on Chinese goods. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reports, citing a White House official, that Trump arrived at that figure by adding together an array of preexisting duties and not any new tariffs. Last week Tuesday, a federal appeals court held a decision saying his tariffs can temporarily stay in effect. The US Court of International Trade had blocked their implementation last month, deeming the method used to enact them "unlawful."

US chip curbs on China have forced Nvidia to exclude the Chinese market from its revenue and profit forecasts, Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jenson Huang told CNN on Thursday. CNN reports: Read more here. On a company earnings call Thursday, RH (RH) CEO Gary Friedman shared a frank account of how the furniture retailer navigated a "chaotic and unpredictable" quarter due to tariffs, market volatility, and a weak housing market. "Everywhere got rocked from the reciprocal tariff announcements," Friedman said. "When the market went down, our business went down. You had to pull forward, give back. It's like a noisy, noisy time right now to run your business." Friedman emphasized that President Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement, which took tariffs on China to 54% and then to over 100%, rattled the supply chain, as did the subsequent pause on most tariffs. "What happened when the reciprocal tariffs hit, we stopped shipments," the CEO said. "People stopped producing. ... I mean, it created disruption for several weeks in the supply chain, and when you try to ramp back up quickly in a chaotic time like that, things are just — things are late. Things get backed up." RH expects the tariff disruption will negatively impact Q2 revenues by 6 points but that revenue will recover in the second half of the year. The company continues to shift sourcing out of China and said it projects 52% of its upholstered furniture will be made in the US and 21% will be produced in Italy by the end of the year. Despite the noisy environment, RH reported an unexpected profit in Q1, sending shares 19% higher in premarket trading on Friday. Friedman added that RH's vendor partners absorbed a "meaningful portion" of the tariffs and that the trade wars may allow the company to take share from smaller competitors. "I mean there's a lot of people going bankrupt," he said. "A lot of the ankle-biter businesses, the little online things, ... they can't raise capital. ... A lot of them are blowing up. They're going away." "The businesses that I think don't make it through the rest of this year, they don't have the scale to deal with the tariffs," he continued. "They don't have the leverage. They don't have the strategic flexibility. So you want to position yourself for the other side. The other side's where all the upside is." Japan's trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa said he expects a deal with the US to hopefully prevent Toyko from getting higher auto tariffs, even if President Trump increases them against other nations.

EXIM Bank considers $120m loan for rare earths mine in Greenland
Critical Metals has received a letter of interest (LoI) from the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) for financing the company's Tanbreez rare earths mine in Greenland with a loan of up to $120m, according to a Reuters report, citing sources. This move could mark the Trump administration's first overseas investment in a mining project and potentially reduce US reliance on China for critical minerals. Amid trade tensions, Beijing imposed export restrictions on rare earths, intensifying the global search for new sources. Critical Metals was informed that it meets the initial criteria to apply for the loan, which offers a 15-year repayment term. According to the report, the loan is contingent on the project being well-funded with equity from strategic investors. The Tanbreez mine, with an estimated cost of $290m, is expected to begin initial production by 2026, eventually yielding 85,000 tonnes per annum of rare earths concentrate. Critical Metals CEO Tony Sage was quoted as saying: 'This funding package is expected to unlock significant value for our project and our stakeholders.' The loan would support technical work and reaching initial production stages. EXIM representatives could not be reached for immediate comment. Washington has previously shown support for Greenland's mining sector, with Biden administration officials lobbying Tanbreez Mining to avoid a sale to a Chinese developer. The mining sector in Greenland has faced challenges including limited investor interest and environmental concerns. Only two small mines are currently operational in the region. Greenland's Minister for Business and Mineral Resources, Naaja Nathanielsen, has highlighted the need for external investment to bolster the country's mining and tourism sectors, urging Europe and the US to consider investment opportunities. Critical Metals still needs to develop material processing facilities within the US, a goal bolstered by the potential EXIM loan. The company previously sought funding from the US Department of Defense for a processing facility, but the process stalled. To meet additional funding requirements, Critical Metals is exploring options such as offtake agreements and funding from other US agencies. The company has engaged in supply discussions with Lockheed Martin and other defence contractors. EXIM has also expressed interest in financing Perpetua Resources' mine in Idaho. "EXIM Bank considers $120m loan for rare earths mine in Greenland" was originally created and published by Mining Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.
