Labour unions urge Trump to boost US shipbuilding against China's dominance

The heads of four major labour unions on Wednesday called on President Donald Trump to boost American shipbuilding and enforce tariffs and other "strong penalties" against China for its increasing dominance in that sphere. The presidents of the United Steelworkers, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers argue that China's efforts have hurt American workers and national security. In a draft of the letter obtained by AP, they urged Trump to "impose tough penalties against vessels built according to the plans, policies, and actions of the Chinese Communist Party and to adopt complementary policies that rebuild America's shipbuilding capacity and workforce". Last year under President Joe Biden, the unions filed a petition seeking to address China's shipbuilding under Section 301 of the 1974 US Trade Act, hoping to start a process by which tariffs and other measures could

Trump wants denuclearisation talks with Russia, China to cut defence budget

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump lamented the hundreds of billions of dollars being invested in rebuilding the nation's nuclear deterrent and said he hopes to gain commitments from the US adversaries to cut their own spending. There's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons, we already have so many, Trump said. You could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons, and they're building nuclear weapons. We're all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully much more productive," Trump said. While the US and Russia hold massive stockpiles of weapons since the Cold War, Trump predicted that China would catch up in their capability to exact

China launches antitrust probe into Google, labels 2 other firms unreliable

China Tuesday announced a flurry of retaliatory measures against the US, including tariffs on imports of products such as coal, liquefied natural gas products and crude oil, as well as an antitrust probe into Google. It also placed two other US firms on an unreliable entity list that could bar them from investing in China. China and Google have had a long and entangled relationship going back to the early 2000s. Here's a look at Google's history in China and what the antitrust probe means for the company: What is Google's relationship with China? Google launched Chinese-language search engine google.cn in 2006. It was censored to comply with Beijing's laws, and in 2009, was a major search engine in China with about 36% market share. In 2010, in response to a cyberattack and an increasing unwillingness to comply with censorship rules, Google said it was no longer willing to block search results and shut down its Chinese search engine, redirecting users to its Hong Kong site ...

US, Philippine jets jointly patrol disputed shoal region guarded by China

US and Philippine fighter aircraft staged a joint patrol and training Tuesday over a disputed South China Sea shoal where Chinese fighter jets fired flares last year to drive away a Philippine aircraft, Philippine officials said. The joint patrol and air-intercept drills over the hotly disputed Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines were the first by the longtime treaty allies since US President Donald Trump took office again. Trump's America First foreign policy thrust has sparked concerns among Washington's allies in Asia about the scale and depth of US commitment to the region in his new term. His predecessor, Joe Biden, had moved to strengthen an arc of security alliances in the region to counter China's increasingly assertive actions. Two US Air Force B-1 bomber aircraft and three Philippine Air Force FA-50 fighter jets joined the brief patrol and training, which involved practising how to intercept a hostile aircraft, Philippine air force spokesperson Maria Consuel

US-China trade war to benefit Indian exporters in increasing shipments

The trade war between the US and China is expected to benefit Indian exporters in increasing their shipments to the American market, sources said. They said the country was the fourth-largest gainer when the US imposed higher duties on Chinese goods during US President Donald Trump's first tenure. After coming to power again, Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose stiff tariffs on imports from China, fulfilling a campaign promise but raising the prospect of increased prices for American consumers. "India is likely to gain out of this trade war. Significant rise in exports are expected from India," a source said. Exporters have also stated that the imposition of customs duties by the US on imports from China provides huge export opportunities for India to America. The tariffs would affect exports from China to the US as they would push prices of their goods in the American market, making them less competitive. "The move can create opportunities for Indian exports due to the tr
