China rejects Trump's criticism, says US and EU also trade with Russia

Dismissing US President Donald Trump's criticism that India and China are the "primary funders" of the Ukraine war through purchases of Russian oil, Beijing on Wednesday pointed out that America and the European Union are also engaging in trade with Moscow. Addressing a media briefing here, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun warned that Beijing will take countermeasures to safeguard its interests if its companies' normal trade with Russia is obstructed, as he rejected Trump's criticism. An overwhelming number of countries, including the US and EU, are engaging in trade with Russia, he said, reminding the American leader that Washington too is indulging in trade with Moscow. Chinese and Russian companies' normal exchanges and cooperation are in line with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules and market principles, Guo said, adding that Beijing's actions are not targeted against any third party and "should not be interfered with and influenced".

US President Donald Trump arrived at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, kicking off a two-day state visit to Britain as the guest of King Charles III. The president's Marine One helicopter landed in the private Walled Garden at the Windsor estate.

US employers add only 22,000 jobs in August amid policy uncertainty

US employers added just 22,000 jobs last month as the labour market continued to cool under uncertainty over President Donald Trump's economic policies. The Labour Department said Friday that hiring decelerated from 79,000 in July. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3 per cent, also worse than expected and the highest level since 2021, the Labour Department said. When the department put out a disappointing jobs report a month ago, an enraged President Donald Trump responded by firing the economist in charge of compiling the numbers and nominating a loyalist to replace her. Talking to reporters Thursday night at a dinner with wealthy tech executives, Trump had seemed to shrug off whatever hiring numbers would come out Friday. The real numbers that I'm talking about are going to be whatever it is, but will be in a year from now, the president said. The US job market has lost momentum this year, partly because of the lingering effects of 11 interest rate hikes by the inflation fight

Putin slams Trump for using colonial-style tactics on India, China leaders

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reprimanded his US counterpart Donald Trump for attempting to exert colonial-era pressure tactics on leaders of powerful economies like India and China, saying that is not the way to deal with the partners. Powerful economies like India and China, with heavy populations, have their domestic political mechanism and laws, Putin, who is here to attend China's victory parade, told the media here on Wednesday. When somebody tells you, they are going to punish you, you have to think about the leadership of those countries, those big courtiers, which have difficult periods of their history too, will react," the Russian president said. These countries had to deal with colonialists, with attacks on their sovereignty for long periods of time, he added. You have to understand that if one of them shows weakness, his political career will be over, so that influences his behaviour, he said. The colonial era is over. They have to realise they cannot use this
