Very happy with China tariffs: Trump official who slammed India over Russian oil
US treasury secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said he is "very happy" with the tariff arrangement the country currently has with China, adding the status quo on the subject was "working pretty well" with China. US President Donald Trump (L) and Chinese President Xi Jinping (R)(AFP) When asked about the current tariff situation and a potential trade agreement with China, Bessent said, "We're very at 50–55% tariffs on China, by far the largest line of tariff if it's not broke, don't fix it." Bessent's remarks came during an interview with Fox News. 'We have had very good talks with China. I imagine we'll be seeing them again before November," Bessent added. The US's tariff deadline for China, which was scheduled to end on August 12, was extended by President Donald Trump by 90 days earlier this month, now expected to end in November. The US currently charges 30% tariffs on Chinese imports, including a 10% base rate and 20% in fentanyl-related tariffs. In another interview around the same time, Bessent had lashed out at India as he explained his rationale behind the US not sanctioning China over buying Russian oil. India has been 'profiteering' and 'making billions' from its reselling of the oil, Bessent said to a question asked to him during the CNBC interview. "India is just profiteering, they are reselling... They made 16 billion in excess profits, some of the richest families in India," said Bessent. "This is a completely different thing. Indian arbitrage, which is buying cheap oil and reselling it, has just sprung up during the [Ukraine] war. This is just unacceptable," he added further. Bessent claimed that 42% of India's oil imports came from Russia. Meanwhile, news agency Reuters has said in a report that China's import of crude oil from Russia rose by 16.8% from a year earlier to 8.71 million metric tons in the month of July. Russia was China's biggest supplier for the month, the report further said. Scott Bessent's latest remarks on tariffs follow US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent remarks detailing "implications" if additional tariffs were levied on China. "Let's say you were to go after the oil sales oil to China, China just refines that oil, which is sold into the global marketplace and anyone who is buying that oil would be paying more for it or if it doesn't exist, would have to find an alternative source for it," Rubio had said in an interview to Fox News. Last month, Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on Indian imports into the US, further doubling the duties a few days later over India's oil trade with Russia. Trump's move received backlash in India, with the government saying in its response that the US was acting against New Delhi 'for actions that several other countries are also taking in their own national interest'.

How a rare $25 million pink diamond was stolen in Dubai and recovered within 8 hours
An 'exceptionally' rare pink diamond worth $25 million was stolen in Dubai by a group of Asian thieves posing as wealthy buyers. The European trader, who owned the diamond, was lured to a villa where the gang nabbed the 21-carat gem and fled. However, Dubai Police tracked and arrested three robbers within eight hours, recovering the jewel The rare pink diamond, which is worth $25 million, had a clarity and symmetry so rare that the chances of finding another like it were just 0.01 per cent. Image for Representation. AFP A major heist unfolded in Dubai when a rare pink diamond, valued at $25 million, was stolen in a daring daylight theft. For a few tense hours, it appeared that the precious stone had vanished without a trace. According to Dubai Police, the 'exceptionally' rare diamond was taken from a trader by a group of thieves who had planned the heist for over a year. But the dramatic story didn't end there. Thanks to the swift response of Dubai Police, the culprits were tracked down within hours, and the gem was safely recovered on the very same day. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD So how did the theft happen? And how did authorities manage to catch the thieves so quickly? Here's a closer look. How the heist played out During the investigation, Dubai Police found that the theft was carefully planned over months Disguised as intermediaries for a wealthy buyer, the suspects approached the diamond trader, who had flown in from Europe with the rare gem. Police said the group had been working on the plan for more than a year, meticulously building trust to pull off the heist. 'To establish credibility, the suspects posed as wealthy individuals by renting luxury cars and arranging meetings at upscale hotels, eventually persuading the merchant to move the diamond out of his secure shop, enabling them to steal it,' the release said. At one stage, they even hired a diamond expert to inspect the stone, which further convinced the trader that the deal was genuine. The level of detail in their act made the seller believe he was dealing with serious buyers. The diamond the thieves were targeting was worth $25 million and weighed more than 21 carats. It came with a unique purity rating. Officials said its clarity and symmetry were so rare that the chances of finding another like it were just 0.01 per cent.

AP The trap was finally set when the suspects invited the trader to a villa under the pretence of closing the deal. As soon as the diamond was brought out, they snatched it and fled. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I just had a problem,' a man can be heard saying in a desperate emergency call released by the Dubai Media Office. 'I came to meet a client to sell a diamond to them. They looked at the stone and now … it's stolen.' How Dubai police hunted down the robbers Police were quick to act. Within hours of the heist, investigators identified three suspects and launched Operation 'Pink Diamond' to stop the jewel from being smuggled out of the country. Dubai has, in recent years, positioned itself as a major hub for the global diamond trade, benefiting from its strategic location between Africa and India as well as its low tax environment. The police then created specialised teams that relied on advanced surveillance tools and artificial intelligence to track their every move. In less than eight hours, officers arrested three men from an unspecified Asian country and recovered the diamond, authorities said. 'Thanks to the efforts of specialised and field teams, and by using the latest artificial intelligence technologies,' the police said in a statement.

Footage released by the Dubai Media Office showed the blurred faces of the suspects after their arrest, alongside CCTV footage of the heist. Police said the swift recovery highlighted the city's commitment to maintaining security and trust in its markets. With input from agencies
