Trump says ‘deal is done', China to remove curbs on exports of critical minerals to US
US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick had earlier late Tuesday evening said that the two sides had agreed to put the 'meat on the bones' on the framework agreed to last month in Geneva to eventually reduce the reciprocal tariffs imposed by Washington DC and Beijing on one another. The deal will also allow Chinese students continued access to elite American universities, following threats from the Trump administration to curb their admissions. New Delhi: US President Donald Trump Wednesday said a 'deal' with China is done and relations between the two largest economies are 'excellent'. This deal will allow for the export of critical minerals from Beijing to Washington DC following two days of intense negotiations between their respective officials in London. The bilateral tariffs imposed on imports to the US from China crossed 100 percent on goods, following Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs' first announced on 2 April. The tit-for-tat trade war had led to both governments agreeing to a framework to reduce tariffs last month. Donald J. Trump Truth Social 06.11.25 08:04 AM EST — Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) June 11, 2025 However, China continued to impose curbs on the exports of critical minerals and technologies to the US, which led to Washington imposing its own curbs on exports of certain goods such as semiconductors to Beijing. The deal struck in London will see the withdrawal of these curbs in a 'balanced way' according to Lutnick. However, the details of the deal have yet to be made public. Minutes after his first statement, Trump in another post on the social media platform added: 'President XI and I are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!' The current round of talks in London came after Trump and the President of China Xi Jinping held a call last week. 'The two sides need to make good use of the economic and trade consultation mechanism already in place, and seek win-win results in the spirit of equality and respect for each other's concerns,' Xi is said to have told Trump during the call, according to the Chinese readout. The 90-minute call between the two leaders last week was the first between the two since Trump returned to the White House in January, reported The New York Times. 'The two sides reached principled agreement on implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone call on June 5 and the framework of measures to consolidate the outcomes of the economic and trade talks in Geneva, and made new progress in addressing each other's economic and trade concerns,' the Chinese readout of the talks in London said, as published by Xinhua. The US delegation consisted of Lutnick, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. China was represented by Vice Premier He Lifeng, who is in charge of economic policy. The deal, if agreed to by both leaders, could see some normalisation in the export of critical minerals from China to the US, which is a key part of the manufacturing of most modern technologies. After Trump's original tariffs on China touched 145 per cent a few months ago, Beijing instituted curbs on the exports of such goods, given its strong hold on the supply of critical minerals and magnets in the global market. The US in retaliation also highlighted a potential ban of Chinese students from studying at American universities.

Trump offers Canada free entry into $175 billion 'Golden Dome' defence plan—But only as 51st state
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Canada could join the United States' new missile defence system free of cost—if it agrees to become the 51st state. Otherwise, he said, it would cost them $61 billion. "I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation," Trump posted on Truth Social. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo "But (it) will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!" — TrumpDailyPosts (@TrumpDailyPosts) There has been no official reply from the Canadian government. Live Events Canada confirms talks, rejects statehood Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that discussions are underway between Ottawa and Washington on the Golden Dome programme. 'Is it a good idea for Canada? Yes, it is good to have protections in place for Canadians,' Carney said at a press briefing last week. However, during a visit to the White House earlier this month, he dismissed any idea of statehood. Carney said plainly that Canada was "never for sale". Despite these firm words, defence cooperation continues. Canada and the US remain core partners in the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), a joint air security programme that dates back to the 1950s. Relations between the two countries have gone through rough patches in recent years. Trump's trade war with Ottawa saw tariffs imposed and diplomatic friction rise. On multiple occasions, he has openly suggested that Canada should become part of the US. Canada, meanwhile, has been increasing its defence commitments. In 2022, it announced a C$38.6 billion (US$28 billion) investment in modernising NORAD, reinforcing its role in continental defence without compromising sovereignty. Now, the Golden Dome system adds another layer of complexity to that defence relationship. What is the Golden Dome? Announced last week, the Golden Dome is a proposed $175 billion missile shield. It aims to protect the US from modern threats—ranging from ballistic and cruise missiles to hypersonic weapons. Trump said it would be fully operational by 2029, in time for the end of his second term. 'This system will protect us—even if [the missiles] are launched from space,' Trump declared from the Oval Office. What makes this system stand out is its ambition. It's designed to intercept attacks at every stage—before launch, early flight, mid-course, and just before impact. That includes, for the first time, the deployment of US weapons in space. But technical doubts remain. Experts have warned that the system's reliance on unproven space-based interceptors poses serious challenges. They also say the cost could significantly exceed Trump's $175 billion estimate. With no official statement from Canada, speculation is growing about whether the country will continue with negotiations or walk away. Talks continue quietly, but Trump's comments have once again put Canada's sovereignty in the spotlight.

His death was also affected by other ailments, including a "previous episode of acute respiratory failure," arterial hypertension and type II diabetes, Vatican's press office said in a statement. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969. Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013, a papal conclave elected Cardinal Bergoglio as his successor on March 13. He chose Francis as his papal name in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi.

After the mourning period, the Cardinals will be called into Conclave to elect the next Vicar of Christ. Earlier, Trump offered condolences on Pope Francis's passing. In a post on Truth Social, the US President said, "Rest in Peace, Pope Francis! May God Bless him and all who loved him!" Prime Minister Narendra Modi also condoled the death of Pope Francis, stating that the Pontiff's "affection for the people of India will always be cherished." "Deeply pained by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In this hour of grief and remembrance, my heartfelt condolences to the global Catholic community. Pope Francis will always be remembered as a beacon of compassion, humility and spiritual courage by millions across the world. From a young age, he devoted himself towards realising the ideals of Lord Christ. He diligently served the poor and downtrodden. For those who were suffering, he ignited a spirit of hope," PM Modi said on X. A three-day State Mourning as a mark of respect following the passing of Pope Francis has been declared in India, according to an official notification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The mourning will be observed across the country on April 22 and 23, and again on the day of the Pope's funeral.
