Trump and Xi reach limited trade truce, easing restrictions on rare earths and chip firms

Trump and Xi reach limited trade truce, easing restrictions on rare earths and chip firms The White House announced Saturday that the United States and China had reached a new trade agreement aimed at easing tensions between the two economic powers. Under the deal, Beijing will suspend export controls on key rare earth minerals such as gallium, germanium, and graphite, while Washington will pause planned tariff hikes originally set for November. “This meeting will lead to everlasting peace and success. God bless both China and the USA!” Trump declared after what he called a “G2 meeting” with Xi. The agreement also halves US tariffs on fentanyl-related products from 20 to 10 percent and commits China to purchase 12 million tonnes of American soybeans this year, with a minimum of 25 million tonnes annually over the next three years. Additionally, China will allow the Chinese facilities of Dutch chipmaker Nexperia BV to resume exports — a move expected to ease pressure on global semiconductor supply chains. While the deal offers a temporary reprieve, analysts caution that the commitments are short-term, lasting only a year. “It’s a truce in the trade war, not its end,” said Josef Mahoney, a professor at East China Normal University in Shanghai. The agreement follows Trump’s “G2” summit in Busan, where he claimed that “the relationship between the United States and China has never been better.”

This Indian city glows as brightly as Tokyo, Singapore in ISS night images

Washington [US], November 21 (ANI): The International Space Station (ISS) has shared a new series of nighttime photographs showcasing major global cities illuminated after sunset, with Delhi included among the most striking views. One of the images captures the Indian capital glowing intensely, its network of lights forming a clear and intricate pattern visible from orbit. According to the alt text attached to the photograph, 'India's National Capital Territory of Delhi, home to approximately 34.67 million people, is the second-largest metropolitan area in the world after Tokyo.' This description highlights the vast scale and density that make Delhi's nightscape so prominent from space. Adding to the visual details, the ISS noted, 'This nighttime view from the International Space Station, taken at approximately 10:54 pm local time, shows the city split by the Yamuna River. The bright rectangular area near the right center marks Indira Gandhi International Airport, one of the busiest aviation hubs in South Asia.' The image not only shows Delhi's brightness but also maps out its key landmarks from orbit. The ISS placed Delhi's visuals in a global context by releasing nighttime images of other major cities. A photograph of Singapore shows the city-state separated from Johor Bahru in Malaysia by the Johor Strait, while another captures Japan's capital region and surrounding suburbs illuminated along Tokyo Bay. Sharing the visuals, the ISS stated, 'Cities like Delhi, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo are among the most luminous urban centers seen from the International Space Station at night.' This comparison underscores Delhi's place among the world's brightest and most recognisable urban landscapes. Alongside the images, the space station marked a major milestone, noting that it completed 25 years of uninterrupted human presence on November 2, 2025. The ISS traces its origins to a design period between 1984 and 1993, with construction contributions from the United States, Canada, Japan and European partners, reflecting decades of global collaboration. This continuous occupancy began when the Expedition 1 crew reached the ISS on November 2, 2000. Since that day, at least one astronaut or cosmonaut has remained aboard daily, making it the longest sustained human presence in space. The first resident crew, NASA astronaut William Shepherd and Roscosmos cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev, reached the station two days after launching from Kazakhstan on October 31, 2000, laying the foundation for ongoing scientific research. The milestone reflects the ISS's role as a symbol of international partnership. Since its first mission, the station has hosted nearly 300 visitors from 26 countries and supported thousands of experiments aimed at improving life on Earth and advancing future missions to the Moon and Mars.
