Biden administration to grant Samsung a $6.6 bn subsidy for Texas chip expansion

United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday (Apr 8) said that the discussions that will take place between Washington and Beijing in the near future will primarily focus on China's need for a shift in policy around industry and the economy.

“We intend to underscore the need for a shift in policy during these talks — building on the over two hours I spent on this topic with the vice premier last week,” she told a news conference as she wrapped up four days of her visit to China.

Yellen said that discussions regarding Beijing's plans for its economy were also held during talks with the Chinese officials.

She met with top Chinese officials including Vice Premier He Lifeng in Guangzhou and Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Beijing during her visit.

“Over the past year, we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing,” Yellen said.

“This has not meant ignoring our differences or avoiding tough conversations,” she said. “It has meant understanding that we can only make progress if we directly and openly communicate with one another.”

As per a readout from China, Li stated that Beijing hoped the United States would comply with the market economy norms and would also refrain from politicizing trade disputes.

He then said that the developments related to China's latest energy sector would also significantly contribute to global carbon neutrality efforts.

The United States and China agreed to “intensive exchanges on balanced growth in the domestic and global economies,” as per a Treasury readout released after Yellen’s meetings in Guangzhou with He.

Both the countries also decided to start "Joint Treasury-PBOC Cooperation and Exchange on Anti-Money Laundering" in order to expand "cooperation against illicit finance and financial crime," stated the readout.

<h2>Biden would not allow repeat of 'China shock', says Yellen</h2>

Yellen issued a warning to China on Monday stating that the United States will not allow Chinese imports to destroy the nascent sectors in the country.

She told the news conference that the US President would not allow a repeat of the "China shock" that took place in the early 2000s, when cheaper Chinese imports flooded the US markets and obliterated over 2 million American manufacturing jobs.

"When the global market is flooded by artificially cheap Chinese products, the viability of American and other foreign firms is put into question. And we've seen this story before. Over a decade ago, massive PRC (People's Republic of China) government support led to below-cost Chinese steel that flooded the global market and decimated industries across the world and in the United States. I've made clear that President Biden and I will not accept that reality again," she said during the news conference.

The United States called the sudden withdrawal of the Israeli military's troops from the southern Gaza Strip a "rest and refit" plan and not something which indicates any new operations.&nbsp;

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby, in an interview with ABC News, said, "As we understand it, and through their public announcements, it is really just about rest and refit for these troops ... and not necessarily that we can tell indicative of some coming new operation for these troops."&nbsp;

Earlier, the Israeli military announced that it is withdrawing troops from south Gaza and that there will be only one brigade six months after the Israel-Hamas war started in the wake of the October 7 attack by the militant group on Israel.

<h2>Israel needs to make more changes: US&nbsp;</h2>

Speaking about the timeline of statements issued by US President Joe Biden and others over the Israel-Hamas war, Kirby said, “I’m glad you brought that timeline up because it shows the degree … the growing degree of frustration that we’ve had with the way these operations are being prosecuted and the way that Israelis are acting on the ground in terms of civilian casualties."

“So we have been increasingly frustrated. And again, that was a core message that the president delivered to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu in their phone call this … past week … that they’ve got to do more, they’ve got to make changes,” he added.

Kirby said that Netanyahu on Sunday (April 7) “assured” Biden that he will make changes in the military operations of Israel.

Donald Trump has insinuated that President Joe Biden may have been under the influence of drugs during his State of the Union (SOTU) address last month. The former Republican presidential candidate made these comments during an interview with radio broadcaster Hugh Hewitt on Thursday (April 4). Referring to reports of cocaine being found in the White House in July last year, Trump claimed, without offering evidence, that Biden was "all jacked up" and "higher than a kite" during his March address.

When asked if he thinks that Joe Biden was using cocaine,&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;said, "I think what happened is, you know, that white stuff that they happened to find, which happened to be cocaine in the White House, I don't know, I think something's going on there".

"I watched his State of the Union, and he was all jacked up at the beginning. By the end, he was fading fast. There's something going on there. I want to debate. And I think debates, with him, at least, should be drug tested. I want a drug test," he continued.&nbsp;

When asked by the host if he is suggesting that the US President used cocaine, Trump responded,&nbsp;&nbsp;"I don't know what he's using, but that was not, hey, he was higher than a kite".

"But he's obviously, he's being helped in some way, because most of the time, he looks like he's falling asleep. And all of a sudden, he walked up there and did a poor job. But he was all jacked up," Donald Trump added.&nbsp;

Reacting to Trump's comments, Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said it was a "weird outburst."
