China vice premier to meet US delegation for trade talks: Beijing
Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng will meet a US delegation for talks next week in Britain, Beijing announced Saturday amid a fragile truce in the trade dispute between the two powers.
He will visit the United Kingdom from June 8 to 13 at the invitation of the British government, China's foreign ministry said in a statement.
It said He and American representatives will co-chair the first meeting of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism.
US President Donald Trump had already announced on Friday that a new round of trade talks with China would kick off in London beginning Monday, after he spoke by phone with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in a bid to end a bitter battle over tariffs.
Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet the Chinese team.
A first meeting, held in mid-May in Geneva, brought a pause to the US-China trade dispute.

Nearly 8,000 Killed In Syria Within Six Months: Monitor
At least 7,670 people, mainly civilians, have been killed in Syria since the fall of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's government and the establishment of a new transitional authority, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has documented in a new report. According to the war monitor, the number includes more than 2,130 'extrajudicial executions' and 'identity-based killings.' It warned of a 'pattern of organized violence' across the country. The SOHR report documents 'the killing of 7,670 people across Syria from 8 December 2024 to 6 June 2025,' adding that among those killed are '5,784 civilians, including 306 children and 422 women.' SOHR warned that 'this grim toll is a result of ongoing violence and violations by local and external parties, alongside widespread security chaos,' which reflects 'the fragility of the security situation and the increasing danger to the most vulnerable constituents of society.' The over 2,130 executions were 'committed in brutal ways.' In March this year, Syrian government forces carried out a series of brutal massacres targeting Alawite civilians on the Syrian coast. Damascus said it would launch a probe, the results of which have not been made clear. SOHR says '1,726 liquidations' were recorded during the March massacres against Alawites. Unofficial estimates at the time said the number could be way higher, possibly several thousand. The killings were carried out in response to an armed uprising against security forces launched by elements of the former government's armed forces. The UK-based monitor went on to say that since the collapse of the Assad government, 1,886 non-civilian combatants have been killed, including 496 members of the Syrian Defense and Interior Ministries. Additionally, 627 members of various armed factions, many linked to the new authorities in Damascus, were also among those killed. Over 250 members of the US-backed Kurdish militia, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), have been killed as well, according to SOHR. SOHR notes that 75 percent of all the deaths are civilians. The new Syrian army is dominated by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former Al-Qaeda branch with a history of war crimes and violent, sectarian ideology. Several other extremist factions, including notorious groups such as Jaish al-Islam, have been incorporated into Damascus's forces as well. Alawites continue to be targeted by Syria's military and groups under its command. In the last five days, at least 18 Alawites have been killed in a new wave of violence targeting the minority group. Meanwhile, the country faces a widespread Israeli occupation and regular bombardment. The new SOHR report comes as Syria is being pulled out of years of isolation – with the US, UK, and EU taking steps to lift the sanctions on the country, which had been imposed for 14 years. Julani's terror army is distributing flyers in rural villages of western Homs that say: 'We are coming to slaughter you, O Alawites. Leave your villages.' — Kevork Almassian (@KevorkAlmassian) June 9, 2025 The EU is set to provide Syria with nearly $200 million (€175 million) to boost reconstruction, the health sector, agriculture, and the country's economy, EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica announced while visiting Damascus on 4 June. Syria's President Ahmad al-Sharaa – a former Al-Qaeda and ISIS chief who went by the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani – has met with world leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Donald Trump.

Europe warns of ‘perfect storm'
Europe is facing a 'perfect storm' on defence as it presses to rearm in the face of Russian aggression and doubts over US engagement, the EU's defence commissioner said yesterday. 'Our readiness for defence is not sufficient. It demands an urgent ramp-up and a longer term strategy how to replace American capabilities in Europe,' commissioner Andrius Kubilius said. 'The forthcoming American withdrawal from Europe is a new reality.' Kubilius said Europe needs to avoid an 'angry divorce' with Washington as US President Donald Trump's administration weighs shifting forces from the continent. NATO countries look set to agree at a summit in the Hague later in the month to massively ramp up defence spending in a bid to keep Trump on side. The EU for its part has launched a raft of initiatives worth some 800 billion euros aimed at helping countries bolster their defences. Next week, Brussels will unveil proposals to slash red tape to allow Europe's defence industry to bolster production.
