A day after <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/i-like-the-idea-of-waiting-until-after-election-for-china-trade-deal-trump-265970">US President Donald Trump </a>said he had "no deadline" on the trade deal, China's foreign ministry echoed his thoughts saying it had "not set any time limit on when the deal will or will not be reached".&nbsp;

"We will not set any time limit on when the deal will or will not be reached," Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, adding, "This agreement and these negotiations must be based on equality and mutual respect."

President Trump while speaking to reporters in London for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/nato-leaders-including-trudeau-macron-caught-mocking-trump-on-camera-266158">NATO summit </a>said that he "liked"&nbsp;the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal.

"I'm doing very well in a deal with China, if I want to make it," Trump said while asserting that "I don't think it's 'if they want to make it', it's 'if I want to make it'. And we'll see what happens."

The Chinese foreign ministry said that it would defend its "legitimate and lawful interests" in negotiations with the US.

"If we are faced with the pressure of unilateralism, protectionism, and trade bullying, we will have no choice and must take resolute and decisive measures to defend our legitimate and lawful interests," Hua added.

World stocks were hit on Tuesday after Trump warned there was no deadline for a trade deal with China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at 27,502.81, down one per cent.

S&amp;P 500 shed 0.7 per cent, closing at 3,093.21, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index also dropped 0.6 per cent to 8,520.64.

Tokyo stocks closed lower on Tuesday as investors locked in profits following declines in American shares.

After Trump, China says 'no time limit' on trade deal with US

Just hours after US President Trump said nobody needs NATO more than France, the US president met French President Emmanuel Macron in London ahead of the&nbsp;NATO anniversary summit.

On NATO, the US president said: "There are some countries that aren't fulfilling their commitments and those countries are going to be dealt with. Maybe I will deal with them from a trade standpoint, maybe I will deal with them in a different way."

"NATO is becoming different than it was, much bigger than it was and much stronger than it was. Because people are now fulfilling their commitments," the US president added.

The French president said NATO is "not just about money" while asserting "the first burden we share, the first cost we pay, is our soldiers'' lives. And I do believe that in such circumstances, we do pay what we have to pay for collective security."

Macron acknowledged that the US had "invested decades after decades" on NATO. "I do share the statements, that is why I am a strong supporter of a stronger European component in NATO," he said.

Macron had earlier called NATO "brain dead", during the meeting with Trump the French president said he stood by his statement made last month.&nbsp;

"It's a tough statement, though, when you make a statement like that, that is a very, very nasty statement to essentially 28, including them, 28 countries," Trump had told reporters.

Trump also spoke on the Frech digital tax calling it a "minor dispute" as the US threatened to impose tariffs on French cheese, champagne and handbags.

"We do a lot of trade with France and we have a minor dispute," Trump said.&nbsp;

I think we'll probably be able to work it out but we have a big trade relationship and I'm sure that within a short period of time things will be looking very rosy," the US president added.

On Turkey, Macron alleged that Turkish forces "sometimes" worked with fighters linked to the Islamic State group in its operation in northern Syria.

"When I look at Turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us. And sometimes they work with ISIS proxies," Macron said at a news conference with US President Donald.

"We have lost cooperation with Turkey, on security and trade and migration and European Union and France," Macron added.

The French president is due to meet Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan later in the day ahead of the NATO summit.

In a surprise move, the French president called for "strategic dialogue with Russia" but cautioned that the alliance should do so "with its eyes wide open".

Some countries not fulfilling their commitments in NATO, they will be dealt with: Trump

The Trump administration considered banning China's Huawei from the US&nbsp;financial system earlier this year as part of a host of policy options to thwart the blacklisted telecoms equipment giant, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The plan, which was ultimately shelved, called for placing <a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/huawei-plans-to-shift-research-center-to-canada-from-us-globe-and-mail-265889">Huawei Technologies Co Ltd</a>, the world's second-largest smartphone producer, on the Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.

One of the people familiar with the matter, who favours the move, said it could be revived in the coming months depending on how things go with Huawei.

The plan was considered by the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/frustrated-trump-lashes-out-at-impeachment-probe-263974">White House National Security Council</a> and seen by officials as a nuclear option atop a ladder of policy tools to sanction the company, two of the people said. Such a designation can make it virtually impossible for a company to complete transactions in US&nbsp;dollars.

Administration officials drafted a memo and held interagency meetings on the issue, according to one of the people, showing the extent to which administration officials mulled deploying the United States' most aggressive sanctioning tool against the Chinese company.

Its use was tabled in favour of other measures, such as placing Huawei on a trade blacklist, which forces some suppliers to obtain a special license to sell to it.

Huawei did not respond to a request for comment. A Treasury spokesperson said the agency "does not comment on investigations or prospective actions, including to confirm whether one exists."

Huawei would have been among the largest companies ever added to the list, which has included Russia's Rusal, the world's second-largest aluminium company, Russian oligarchs, Iranian politicians, and Venezuelan drug traffickers.

Annie Fixler, a cyber expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank, said designating the company "would have broad, widespread implications for Huawei across the globe," noting that its business would be "severely impacted" in Europe and in Asia outside of China.

The US&nbsp;government has brought criminal charges against Huawei, alleging theft of trade secrets, bank fraud, violations of US&nbsp;sanctions against Iran, and has sought to convince allies to ban it from 5G networks over spying fears.

But placing the company on the "SDN list" would mean a host of logistical, diplomatic and economic difficulties for the US&nbsp;government.

The designation prohibits American companies or citizens from trading or conducting financial transactions with those listed and freezes assets held in the United States.

Adding Huawei would, therefore, hammer US&nbsp;allies that already rely on the company for their 4G networks, since almost all dollar payments clear through U.S. financial institutions.

The Treasury could grant licenses to exempt US&nbsp;banks involved in those transactions. But it has generally shied away from doing so, concerned that too many exemptions would blunt the strength of the tool, experts said.

Huawei's sprawling size, with dozens of subsidiaries, would significantly complicate enforcement and carve-out efforts, experts said.

"The larger an entity is, the harder it is for a US&nbsp;Administration to foresee and prepare for the major effects, foreign and domestic, that placing it on the SDN list may cause" said Matthew Tuchband, a former Treasury official who added that careful consideration is needed before designating a company the size of Huawei.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who is seen by many China hawks in the administration as sympathetic to Beijing, has rarely overseen the use of the tool against China, designating a handful of Chinese persons for trafficking in fentanyl and over violations of sanctions against North Korea and Iran.

Nevertheless, some lawmakers still see designating Huawei as worth considering.

"Given Huawei's relentless drive to dominate the 5G landscape, it is one of the most urgent national security threats facing the free world," Republican Congressman Michael Gallagher said.

"All options should be on the table in order to impose maximum pressure," he added.

Malaysia's government on Tuesday tabled a parliamentary bill seeking to set a two-term limit for the premiership, as Prime Minister<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/goldman-sachs-has-done-wrong-things-in-1mdb-case-pm-mahathir-mohamad-176997"> Mahathir Mohamad</a>'s administration seeks to fulfill an election pledge aimed at preventing potential abuses of power.

Last May, Mahathir's Pakatan Harapan coalition won a shock election victory on the back of popular anger over high living costs and perceptions of rampant corruption, particularly allegations that billions of dollars were plundered from state fund 1MDB that was founded by former premier <a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions/what-najib-razaks-corruption-trial-means-for-malaysia-and-the-region-207838">Najib Razak</a>.

The bill seeks to amend the federal constitution to specify a maximum of two terms for a prime minister and would require support from two-thirds of the 222 elected members of parliament to pass.

It is scheduled to be debated in March next year.

The constitutional amendment was among a raft of election pledges that Mahathir's coalition made, aiming to root out corruption and limit the powers of the prime minister.

Najib, who held power for nearly three terms, faces dozens of graft and money laundering charges over allegations that he received about $1 billion in funds from 1Malaysia Development Berhad. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Mahathir, who is in his second stint as prime minister, holds the record for Malaysia's longest-serving premier at 22 years after first holding the post from 1981 until 2003.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/oil-prices-jump-to-61-over-opec-supply-cut-reports-265782">Oil prices</a> gained on Tuesday, as hopes rose for OPEC and its allies to agree deeper output cuts when they meet this week, although gains were limited, amid some analysts' skepticism over the achievement of further reductions.

Brent futures rose 17 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $61.09 a barrel by 0516 GMT, after having gained 0.7 per cent&nbsp;on Monday.

US&nbsp;West Texas Intermediate crude was up 25 cents, or 0.5 per cent, at $56.21 a barrel. The contract rose by 1.4 per cent&nbsp;on Monday.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/oil-prices-tumble-ahead-of-opec-meeting-global-stocks-fall-265363">OPEC</a>) and its allies, known as OPEC+, are discussing a plan to increase an existing supply cut of 1.2 million barrels per day (BPD) by a further 400,000 BPD and extend the pact until June, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Saudi Arabia is pushing the plan to deliver a positive surprise to the market before the initial public offering (IPO) of state-owned Saudi Aramco, the sources said.

"We believe the global oil supply-demand balance requires an extension of the current OPEC+ cuts," Goldman Sachs said in a research note.

The factors behind this view included a large increase in production from legacy non-OPEC projects and a still uncertain outlook for demand growth, it added.

The investment bank said it expected Brent to trade around $60 a barrel in 2020, "absent new growth or geopolitical shocks".

OPEC ministers will meet in Vienna on Thursday and the wider OPEC+ group will gather on Friday.

"(The) oil price is little moved today, suggesting that traders are skeptical about the additional 400,000 BPD cut on top of the extension of (the) current production cut agreement," said Margaret Yang, market analyst at CMC Markets in Singapore.

Concerns about the inability of the United States and China, the world's two biggest oil users, to reach a preliminary deal to resolve their 17-month trade dispute also weighed on oil prices, along with discouraging US&nbsp;economic data.

A senior adviser to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/americas/china-loves-ripping-off-america-says-us-president-donald-trump-218218">President Donald Trump</a> said a US-China trade deal was still possible before the end of the year, adding that the first phase of the agreement was being put to paper, although the talks have dragged on for weeks.

While OPEC may cut output,&nbsp;US&nbsp;producers have been only too happy to meet any market shortfalls, with production set successive records. Growth into 2020, though, may range between 100,000 BPD and 1 million BPD.

US&nbsp;crude inventories are expected to have declined last week, which may support prices, with analysts in a preliminary Reuters poll suggesting a contraction of 1.8 million barrels.&nbsp;

In a sign of buying interest for oil, fund managers increased net long positions in US&nbsp;crude futures and options in the week to November&nbsp;26, the US&nbsp;Commodities Futures Trading Commission said.

&nbsp;A typhoon struck the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/one-killed-over-two-lakh-evacuated-as-typhoon-kammuri-pounds-philippines-closes-manila-airport-265891">Philippines</a> on Tuesday, killing at least three people, disrupting air travel and forcing government offices and schools to shut.

Authorities evacuated some 225,000 people ahead of the arrival overnight of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/evacuations-airport-closure-as-typhoon-kammuri-nears-philippines-265793">Typhoon Kammuri</a>, known locally as Tisoy. Officials said their precautions prevented greater loss of life, while warnings of floods, storm surges, and landslides were issued in the wake of the country's 20th typhoon of the year.

"We've seen great improvement in local government management of preparations for disasters," disaster agency spokesman Mark Timbal told news channel ANC.

Winds gusting up to 200 kph (124 mph) damaged homes and structures and tore down trees and signage as it barrelled through central islands south of the capital, as it moved across the archipelago towards the South China Sea.

A man died after being electrocuted while attempting to fix his roof in Camarines Sur province, according to a civil defense official. Two people who ignored a mandatory evacuation were killed in Oriental Mindoro, one hit by a falling tree and the other by a sheet of metal roofing material.

"It could have been more if we did not have pre-emptive evacuation," Humerlito Dolor, governor of Oriental Mindoro province, told DZMM radio.

Some 499 flights were postponed and 100,000 people impacted by a precautionary closure of Manila's main airport for 12 hours until 11:00 pm&nbsp;Tuesday (1500 GMT). Flights continued in unaffected areas of the country.

Pictures posted on social media showed waves crashing against bulwarks, panels flying off roofs, and fallen trees.

Authorities warned of storm surges of up to three meters and possible floods and landslides ahead after heavy winds and rain. Commercial sea travel was halted.

Government offices and schools in Manila were closed and utility firms warned of power outages.

Worst hit was the airport in Legazpi City, which suffered structural damage, with a television showing cables, lighting, and panels hanging from the ceiling over the departure areas.

NATO must address the "security implications" of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/nato-praises-europe-defence-spending-boost-as-summit-looms-265274">China's rise</a> as a military power, the head of the alliance said on Tuesday, but insisted he did not want to make an adversary of Beijing.

Jens Stoltenberg said China's growing military capabilities -- including missiles that could hit Europe and the United States -- meant the alliance had to tackle the issue together.

The leaders of NATO's 29 member states kick off a two-day summit on Wednesday where they are set to approve a report on how the alliance should approach China and its growing international assertiveness.

"We have now recognised that the rise of China has security implications for all allies," the NATO secretary general said at an event in London.

"China has the second-largest defence budget in the world and has recently displayed a lot of new, modern capabilities including long-range missiles able to reach the whole of Europe and the United States."&nbsp;

The fiercely contested South China Sea has become a flashpoint for Beijing and the US, with Washington accusing China of "intimidation".

Beijing has built military installations, rammed vessels and sent survey ships into disputed territory in the sea, where several countries have competing claims.

NATO's defence remit is limited to Europe and North America, but Stoltenberg said China's influence was beginning to reach its shores.

"It's not about moving NATO into the South China Sea but about taking into account that China is coming closer to us in the Arctic, in Africa, investing heavily in our infrastructure in Europe, in cyberspace," he said.

But he insisted the new NATO approach was "not to create a new adversary but to analyse and understand and respond in a balanced way to the challenges China poses".

The leaders of NATO's 29 member states kick off a two-day summit on Wednesday where they are set to approve a report on how the alliance should approach China and its growing international assertiveness. "We have now recognised that the rise of China has security implications for all allies," the NATO secretary general said at an event in London. "China has the second-largest defence budget in the world and has recently displayed a lot of new, modern capabilities including long-range missiles able to reach the whole of Europe and the United States." The fiercely contested South China Sea has become a flashpoint for Beijing and the US, with Washington accusing China of "intimidation". Beijing has built military installations, rammed vessels and sent survey ships into disputed territory in the sea, where several countries have competing claims. NATO's defence remit is limited to Europe and North America, but Stoltenberg said China's influence was beginning to reach its shores. "It's not about moving NATO into the South China Sea but about taking into account that China is coming closer to us in the Arctic, in Africa, investing heavily in our infrastructure in Europe, in cyberspace," he said. But he insisted the new NATO approach was "not to create a new adversary but to analyse and understand and respond in a balanced way to the challenges China poses".

China's rise has security implications for all allies: NATO chief Stoltenberg

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, is due to take the stand to go on trial for a defamation suit filed against him by Vernon Unsworth, British cave explorer who helped with the rescue of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-apologises-to-british-thai-cave-rescuer-after-calling-him-pedo-152580">12 boys and their soccer coach</a> from a cave in Thailand in July last year.

Musk has now-deleted the tweet which described Unsworth as a “pedo guy” for which Unsworth is now seeking punitive and compensatory damages for harming his reputation.&nbsp;

The trial which begins on Tuesday before US district judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles. It will&nbsp;last for five days. The row started after Musk offered a SpaceX mini-submarine to help with the rescue mission of kids trapped in a cave in Thailand, to which Unsworth gave a statement to CNN on July 13, 2018, claiming it was a “PR stunt”.

Two days later, Musk took to Twitter to lash out against Unsworth in a series of tweets, including one which said, “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it."

When questioned about the accusations Musk replied with “bet ya a signed dollar it's true,” all of which were later deleted. Musk later sent out a tweet expressing apology after Tesla’s stock price dipped by as much as 4 per cent.&nbsp;

“His actions against me do not justify my actions against him...spoken in anger after Mr Unsworth said several untruths and suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini-sub, which had been built as an act of kindness and according to specifications from the dive team leader,” Musk tweeted.&nbsp;

Judge Wilson earlier denied Musk’s legal team’s request to define Unsworth as a “public figure” due to which Unsworth does not have to provide proof that Musk acted with “actual malice”, lowering the bar necessary to win the case.&nbsp;

Unsworth now only needs to prove negligence on Musk’s side and not an actual intent to defame. Unsworth is required to prove Musk’s comments to be false and that people believed them to be true.&nbsp;

Musk is expected to testify in his own defence with his legal team insisting on not making any out-of-court settlements. “Pedo guy was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up,” &nbsp;said Musk in a court filing, which was claimed to be “offensive to the truth” by Unsworth’s legal team.&nbsp;

"It is synonymous with ‘creepy old man’ and is used to insult a person’s appearance and demeanour, not accuse a person of paedophilia,” according to the Tesla chief.

Musk’s legal team has claimed that the tweets were Musk’s opinion, not a statement of fact, and also that Unsworth aimed to gain profit from his role in the rescue mission.&nbsp;

The team also claims that Unsworth’s comments to CNN implying that Musk did not care about the lives of the trapped boys provoked Musk’s response.&nbsp;

Russia on Tuesday said it had blocked pages of the American photo <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/russia-to-pre-install-their-local-software-in-every-smartphone-and-computer-265929">agency Shutterstock</a> over images it said insulted state symbols, with one showing a Russian flag placed in excrement.

Communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said "certain pages of Shutterstock have been added to the (banned) register", according to state news agency TASS.

Roskomnadzor said pages on Shutterstock, which says it has 300 million images, were blocked due to "insulting state symbols" and showing "methods of suicide".

Roskomsvoboda, a freedom of information campaign group, publicised the ban on Monday, saying that it affected a page showing a Russian flag placed in a pile of excrement.

The state watchdog's website confirmed that the page was blocked on prosecutors' request.

However, the image could still be accessed on Shutterstock's site on Tuesday afternoon. Webpages that "insult state symbols" can be blocked by the state watchdog without any court decision, obliging providers to block sites if owners do not delete the material.

The watchdog's website said four pages had been blocked on its initiative and on the request of the Prosecutor-General's Office, without specifying which pages.

One of Shutterstock's domains is blocked in Russia, though its main website is still available. The communications watchdog said the ban requests dated back to October.

The deputy head of Roskomnadzor watchdog, Vadim Subbotin, told TASS that Shutterstock had not responded to requests to delete the content. "We're ready to discuss further effective cooperation when they get in touch," he said.

Shutterstock did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Russia blocks Shutterstock pages over flag row

The European Union warned today that it will "act and react as one" as the Trump administration <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/france-will-be-pugnacious-over-new-us-tariff-threat-minister-265915">tariffs on French goods</a> ranging from Champagne, handbags to cheese and other products.

US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer had said that the US "is focused on countering the growing protectionism of EU member states, which unfairly targets US companies" while adding that the Trump administration "was exploring whether to open similar investigations into the digital services taxes of Austria, Italy and Turkey".

The move comes as the US government concluded that France's new digital services tax would harm US tech companies. The French parliament had earlier passed a law taxing digital giants like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon for revenues earned inside the country.

"As in all other trade-related matters, the EU will act and react as one and it will remain united," said EU commission spokesman Daniel Rosario after the US threatened tariffs on French goods.

The USTR said its "Section 301" investigation found that the French tax was "inconsistent with prevailing principles of international tax policy, and is unusually burdensome for affected US companies," including Alphabet Inc's Google, Facebook Inc, Apple Inc and Amazon.com Inc.

The list of products that the US could target also includes cosmetics, porcelain, soap. The new French tax laws target three per cent levy on the revenues earned by technology firms in France.

French finance minister Bruno Le Maire and US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were involved in months of talks over the issue.

Meanwhile, stocks prices of French luxury handbag maker Hermes fell by around 2 per cent, while luxury goods companies LVMH and Kering fell 1.5 per cent and 1.2 per cent after the announcement by the USTR on taxing French goods.

The shares of glass bottle maker Verallia, which makes glass containers for brands like Dom Perignon champagne, fell 2.5 per cent.

Will act and react as one: European Union on proposed US tariffs on French goods

US President Donald Trump who arrived in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/donald-trump-says-uk-pm-boris-johnson-very-capable-265958">London to attend the NATO </a>summit said he has "no deadline" for a trade deal with China while adding that he "could wait until after the election for the China deal".

"I have no deadline," Trump told reporters in London. "In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal."

The US president, however, was quick to add a deal would "surprise" everyone, asserting, "I don't know if I want to make it but you're going to find out pretty soon, it's going to surprise everybody."

"I'm doing very well in a deal with China, if I want to make it," Trump said at a press conference ahead of the NATO summit.

"I don't think it's 'if they want to make it', it's 'if I want to make it'. And we'll see what happens."

US and China have been locked in a trade war for the past 18 months with China recently demanding that US tariffs&nbsp;be rolled back as part of phase one of the trade deal.

Last week, President Trump had said the US was in the "final throes" of a deal aimed at defusing the trade war with China, however, the US president added that failure to get the trade deal will prompt more tariffs even as analysts fear it would result in lower sales in the Christmas season ahead.

Trump had earlier warned about 15 per cent additional tariffs on $156 billion worth of Chinese-made consumer goods scheduled to take effect on December 15. Trump had earlier agreed in October to skip raising those tariffs to 30 per cent from the 25 per cent rate.

A 15 per cent tariff on about $125 billion of goods had gone into effect on September 1, including flat-panel television sets, flash memory devices, smart speakers, Bluetooth headphones, bed linens, multifunction printers among other products.

I like the idea of waiting until after election for China trade deal: Trump

President Trump said today that "effective immediately" the US would be restoring "tariffs on all steel and aluminium" on Brazil and Argentina.

Trump blamed "massive devaluation of currencies" for the recent tariffs, adding, "the Federal Reserve should likewise act so that countries, of which there are many, no longer take advantage of our strong dollar by further devaluing their currencies."
