U.S. Asks China To Suspend Trade With Russia

Secretary of State Blinken will press Chinese officials on a wide range of issues, including its support for Russia, cheap Chinese exports that U.S. officials say threaten American jobs, and Chinese ships’ aggressive maneuvers in the South China Sea, a senior State Department official told reporters in a telephone briefing.Western officials have grown increasingly vocal about concerns that China is backing Russia in its war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, during her own visit to China earlier this month, warned of “significant consequences” if Beijing provides material support.Chinese officials are likely to bring up American support for Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims, and trade restrictions that Beijing calls discriminatory.

Western businesses backtrack on their Russia exit plans

Western companies, including Avon Products, Air Liquide and Reckitt, have remained in Russia despite saying they planned to leave after the invasion of Ukraine, as bureaucratic obstacles increase and consumer activity rebounds.The Natura-owned cosmetics brand, the French industrial gas producer and the UK consumer group that produces everything from painkillers to condoms are among hundreds of western groups that have stayed in the country since the full-scale invasion in 2022.“Many European companies have found themselves really between a rock and a hard place,” said one executive working with western companies in the country. “They said they’d leave. They were presented with a choice of buyers that were unacceptable to them.”Overall, more than 2,100 multinationals have stayed in Russia since 2022, the Kyiv School of Economics has found, compared with about 1,600 international companies that have either quit the market or scaled back operations.A rebound in consumer activity and “bureaucratic obstacles” are making the companies stay, the outlet suggested.

Ireland slams ‘outrageous’ Israeli threats against its peacekeepers.

Irish President Michael D Higgins slammed what he called “outrageous” threats against the peacekeepers from the Israel Defense Forces that “sought to have them evacuate the villages that they are defending”. His intervention came days before Ireland’s premier was due to visit the White House.Ireland has 347 peacekeeping troops stationed in southern Lebanon as part of a joint battalion with Polish soldiers. Two of the 25 outposts on the Blue Line in effect dividing Lebanon from Israel and the Golan Heights are under Irish command.Irish troops have been serving as peacekeepers in Lebanon since 1978 and government and military officials insist morale among Irish troops is good.Capt Kenny said Irish troops had not come under fire directly but “on occasion, and when appropriate, they take cover in protective installations [bunkers]”.“We view our presence there as essential. We are the eyes and ears of the international community. Our aim is to provide the space for diplomacy to happen and the delivery of humanitarian aid as necessary,” he added.Higgins, in his statement on Saturday, called Israel’s demand that Irish peacekeepers leave “an insult” both to the UN and to the soldiers risking their lives. An Irish peacekeeper, Private Seán Rooney, was killed in an attack on a convoy in Lebanon in December 2022.

Germany ‘reopens old wounds’ with strict border controls

Germany recently imposed border controls on all its land borders, raising fears for the future of the Schengen Agreement and freedom of movement in the EU.The move follows a terror attack in Solingen, Germany, where a suspected ISIS operative killed three people.France is considering similar border control measures, citing European rules that allow such actions.Schengen's freedom of movement is seen as one of the EU’s greatest achievements, and these controls threaten its future.Border areas like Saarbrücken, near Germany’s border with France, are particularly concerned about the impact on daily life and trade.The reintroduction of border checks brings back memories of pandemic-related border closures, which caused significant disruption.Transport groups warn that long border waits increase costs for businesses, adding €100 for each hour a vehicle is delayed.Some officials admit that border controls are more symbolic than effective at curbing irregular migration.Right-wing populists in Europe, like Italy’s interior ministry and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, have welcomed Germany's actions.There are growing concerns that Germany’s decision may set off a "domino effect," encouraging other EU member states to implement similar controls, challenging the Schengen system.
