Chinese Trade: Beijing, Washington held professional, candid trade talks
Beijing - Saba:
Li Zhenggang, Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce, confirmed on Wednesday that his country and the United States held in-depth, rational, professional, and candid trade talks.
Chinese state television quoted Zhenggang as saying at the conclusion of two days of intensive negotiations in London: "The two sides (the United States and China) held professional, rational, in-depth, and candid talks."
He explained that China and the United States agreed on a "basic framework for implementing the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries during a telephone conversation on June 5, as well as during the trade talks between the two sides in Geneva."
For his part, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick stated that "US and Chinese officials have agreed on a framework to suspend reciprocal trade measures and resolve Chinese export restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets."
US President Donald Trump had previously announced that these talks represent an attempt to resolve trade disputes between Washington and Beijing after the recent round of tensions that have plagued their bilateral relations.
White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt announced last Friday that the phone call between President Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, was productive and useful, and that Washington maintains its strategic interests in China's economy and market.
Trump previously announced that Washington and Beijing are working to resolve the dispute over rare earth mineral supplies, and that teams from the two countries will meet to discuss the issue.
The Chinese president stated that Washington must be cautious on the Taiwan issue and not allow pro-independence separatists to drag Beijing and Washington into conflict.
The United States and China agreed to suspend mutual 24% tariffs for 90 days, a move aimed at calming tensions after the two countries imposed heavy tariffs on each other's imports.

Washington's military intervention with Zionist enemy against Iran... Where does this lead? Report
Sana'a - Saba: Anyone who has studied American decisions over the decades will not find any fundamental difference or discrepancy between the effects and objectives underlying this decision. This decision still has an imperialist, hegemonic dimension, targeting those who stand in the way of its imperialist projects. Israeli Occupation is undoubtedly a purely American project. Even if it is a Western creation in its structure, its meaning and substance still rest on America. Its weapons are American, its advisors are American, and its decision-making institutions enjoy American support in whatever direction they go. Before and after that, it has been Washington that has guarded it since its inception. While the Israeli enemy has been reeling after days of accurate missile and complex strikes; Washington understood and understood well that the continuation of this missile attack would gradually target the Zionist enemy's most important capabilities, thus depleting its capabilities, which underpin its hegemony in the region. After four days of continuous Iranian attacks, the Americans were forced to threaten to target Iran and enter into a war with Israel. Although American could have continued, as usual, to provide unlimited support in the form of weapons and ammunition, American knew this would be futile. Or so the Israeli enemy portrayed the matter to it, in order to draw Washington into the arena of war in the region. By this luring, the Israeli enemy saves itself and moves the war from one stage to a new one, one in which the confrontation is between Washington and Tehran. The Israeli enemy thus overcomes the deadly Iranian attacks and their inevitable defeat, while simultaneously plunging the region into a war deadlock that will not stop with Iran and the United States. There is no alternative but for Washington to enter the war directly to save the Israeli enemy from the daily loss of life. The rival here is Iran, which possesses a missile arsenal far superior in its capabilities to what Israeli fighter jets achieve in targeting Iranian territory. Iranian missiles reach their targets in a few minutes, perhaps a little more. They have a very high destructive power and can bypass air defense systems. Within minutes, Iran can launch dozens or even hundreds of missiles at numerous targets, defeating Israel's air defense systems. Israeli fighter jets, however, require significant time and supplies to reach Iranian territory, may not even bypass air defenses, and achieve only a fraction of the results achieved by Iranian missiles. Washington's threat reflects the nature of the American decision, its background, its relationship with "Israel" in particular, and the extent of Jewish dominance over American decision-making, even if the decision ultimately favors America. "Israel" grew and flourished under the American umbrella, if that is the case, and what the entity is committing in Gaza is being done with American cover. Trump's statements about reinvesting in the Gaza Strip and displacing its population cannot be ignored; these statements suggest that the killer is one and the same. The massacres of starving people at so-called aid distribution centers have been brought to light, revealing they are under Israeli-American company supervision. This demonstrates that American support provides both the weaponry for all Israeli crimes and the cover for all Zionist transgressions. From the above, It is concluded that the United States' threat to wage war against Iran is nothing new, but this time it has gone beyond the calculations of the American institutions themselves, which are behind the decision-making process. This can be seen in the reactions of some members of Congress, most recently Senator Tim Kaine, who said: "We cannot risk American lives on a foolish mission." The question: Will Congress do it this time and prevent Trump from risking America's existence in the quagmire of the Israeli entity? Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

"Le Manité": Israel only country with nuclear arsenal
Paris – Saba: The French newspaper "Le Manité" reported on Monday that "Israel is the only country in the Middle East with an arsenal of approximately 100 nuclear warheads," thanks to a French-backed program that operates in complete ambiguity and disregard for international law. Le Manité said: "None of the previous US presidents, including Donald Trump, dared to demand that Israel sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), on the contrary, during Trump's first term, in 2019, the United States withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty that bound it to Russia.
