- Forbes reports: "Within the next days, the reboot of talks between Bejing and Washington begins again as trade delegates from China are supposed to show up sometime this month. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since June 3. Other than the Russian election meddling story, President Trump's China policy has been the biggest international headline impacting markets since Inauguration Day. On the campaign trail, Trump told his fanbase that they would become so tired of winning that they would beg him, "Mr. President, please. Stop winning!" Who is winning this trade war so far?"
- Reuters reports: "A broad cross-section of U.S. businesses has a message for the Trump administration: new tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports will force Americans to pay more for items they use throughout their daily lives, from cradles to coffins. Six days of public hearings on the proposed duties of up to 25 percent will start on Monday in Washington as part of President Donald Trump's and the U.S. Trade Representative's efforts to pressure Beijing for sweeping changes to its trade and economic policies."
- The New York Times reports: "President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan visited Houston over the weekend, her second brief stop in the United States in one week, a sign of efforts to deepen relations between Washington and Taipei despite vehement opposition from China. Ms. Tsai stopped in Los Angeles last Monday, on her way to Paraguay and Belize, and then in Houston on Saturday on her way back home. During the earlier stop, she met with three California lawmakers, including one, Representative Brad Sherman, a Democrat, who called on the United States to formally invite her to Washington, which would break with decades of American practice. The United States has not officially recognized Taiwan since 1979, when it shifted to recognizing China's Communist government."
