Trump, EU chief seek deal in transatlantic trade standoff
TUNBERRY, UK: US President Donald Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen were set for make-or-break talks in Scotland Sunday, aimed at ending a months-long transatlantic trade standoff, as negotiations went down to the wire. Trump has said he sees a one-in-two chance of a deal with the European Union, which faces an across-the-board US levy of 30 percent unless it strikes a trade pact by August 1 -- with Washington warning Sunday there would be "no extensions." Von der Leyen's European Commission, negotiating on behalf of EU countries, is pushing hard for a deal to salvage a trading relationship worth an annual $1.9 trillion in goods and services. According to an EU diplomat briefed ahead of the meeting, set for 4:30 pm (1530 GMT), the contours of a deal are in place after talks went late into Saturday night -- but key issues still need settling. And of course the final word lies with Trump. "A political deal is on the table -- but it needs the sign-off from Trump, who wants to negotiate this down to the very last moment," the diplomat told AFP. The proposal, they said, involves a baseline levy of around 15 percent on EU exports to the United States -- the level secured by Japan -- with carve-outs for critical sectors including aircraft and spirits, though not for wine. Any deal will need to be approved by EU member states -- whose ambassadors, on a visit to Greenland, were updated by the commission Sunday morning, and would meet again after any accord. According to the EU diplomat, the 27 countries broadly endorsed the deal as envisaged -- while recalling their negotiating red lines.

Russia Begins Monthly Direct Flights To North Korea Amid Ukraine Conflict
Russia on Sunday began direct commercial flights to North Korea, in a further sign of closer ties with its Asian ally helping its offensive in Ukraine. The first Moscow-Pyongyang flight, operated by Nordwind Airlines, was scheduled to take off at 1600 GMT and land in the North Korean capital some eight hours later, according to the carrier's website. Nordwind Airlines -- a company that used to serve holiday destinations in Europe before the EU imposed a ban on Russian flights -- had tickets priced at 45,000 rubles ($570). Russia's state news agency TASS reported that the first flight going the other way, from Pyongyang to Moscow, would take place on Tuesday. Russia's transport ministry said the route would be serviced once a month. Russia and North Korea restored train links on June 17 after suspending them in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. The two countries have been forging closer military bonds in recent years, with Pyongyang supplying troops and weapons for Russia to use in its military operations in Ukraine. They signed a mutual defence pact last year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea. North Korea confirmed for the first time in April that it had deployed a contingent of its soldiers to the frontline in Ukraine, alongside Russian troops.

Trump, EU chief meet in Scotland to avert transatlantic trade war
US President Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen met Sunday in Scotland in a last-ditch effort to resolve a transatlantic trade dispute. With a 30% tariff threat looming and key sectors like autos and pharmaceuticals at stake, the two leaders are racing against an August 1 deadline to secure a deal that could redefine the $1.9 trillion US-EU trade relationship read more US President Trump with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during the 50th World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 21, 2020. File image/ Reuters US President Donald Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen planned to meet in Scotland on Sunday in an effort to resolve a months-long transatlantic trade dispute that is nearing its end. Trump, who has threatened to impose punitive tariffs on dozens of nations unless they reach an agreement with Washington by August 1, has stated that he believes there is a 50/50 possibility of striking an agreement with the European Union. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD An all-encompassing charge of 30 percent from that date is presently threatening the EU. Negotiating on behalf of the EU's member nations, von der Leyen's European Commission has been putting a lot of effort into reaching an agreement to preserve a trade relationship that generates $1.9 trillion in products and services annually. Any deal with the United States will need approval by all 27 member states. EU ambassadors, on a visit to Greenland, were to meet Sunday morning to discuss the latest negotiations – and again after any accord. Sunday's sit-down between Trump and the EU chief was to take place at 4:30 pm (1530 GMT) in Turnberry, on Scotland's southwestern coast, where Trump owns a luxury golf resort. The 79-year-old American leader said Friday he hoped to strike 'the biggest deal of them all' with the EU. 'I think we have a good 50-50 chance' of a deal, the president said, citing sticking points on 'maybe 20 different things'. He praised von der Leyen as 'a highly respected woman' – a far cry from his erstwhile hostility in accusing the EU of existing to 'screw' the United States. But late-night EU talks with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Saturday to hammer out the final details were 'combative at times,' The Financial Times reported. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As of Saturday evening, there were 'still quite a few open questions' – notably on pharmaceutical sector tariffs, said one EU diplomat. Tariff levels on the auto sector were also crucial for the Europeans – notably France and Germany – and the EU has been pushing for a compromise on steel that could allow a certain quota into the United States before tariffs would apply. Baseline 15 percent According to European diplomats, the deal on the table involves a baseline levy of around 15 percent on EU exports to the United States – the level secured by Japan – with carve-outs for critical sectors including aircraft, lumber and spirits excluding wine. The EU would commit to ramp up purchases of US liquefied natural gas, along with a series of investment pledges. Hit by multiple waves of tariffs since Trump reclaimed the White House, the EU is currently subject to a 25-percent levy on cars, 50 percent on steel and aluminium, and an across-the-board tariff of 10 percent, which Washington threatens to hike to 30 percent in a no-deal scenario. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The EU has focused on getting a deal with Washington to avoid sweeping tariffs that would further harm its sluggish economy, with retaliation as a last resort. While 15 percent would be much higher than pre-existing US tariffs on European goods – at 4.8 percent – it would mirror the status quo, with companies already facing an additional flat rate of 10 percent. Should talks fail, EU states have greenlit counter tariffs on $109 billion (93 billion euros) of US goods including aircraft and cars to take effect in stages from August 7. Brussels is also drawing up a list of US services to potentially target. Beyond that, countries like France say Brussels should not be afraid to deploy a so-called trade 'bazooka' – EU legislation designed to counter coercion through trade measures which involves restricting access to its market and public contracts. But such a step would mark a major escalation with Washington. Ratings dropping STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump has embarked since returning to power on a campaign to reshape US trade with the world. But polls suggest the American public is unconvinced, with a recent Gallup survey showing his approval rating at 37 percent – down 10 points from January. Having promised '90 deals in 90 days,' Trump's administration has so far unveiled five, including with Britain, Japan and the Philippines. Early Sunday, ahead of his meeting with Von der Leyen, Trump was out again on the golf course, having spent most of Saturday playing at Turnberry amid tight security. The trip to Scotland has put physical distance between Trump and the scandal around Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of sex trafficking who died in prison in 2019 before facing trial. In his heyday, Epstein was friends with Trump and others in the New York jet-set, but the president is facing backlash from his own MAGA supporters demanding access to the Epstein case files. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With the uproar refusing to die down, a headline agreement with the EU – in addition to bolstering Trump's dealmaker credentials – could bring a welcome distraction.
