UK unveils a softly Brexit plan
https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-publishes-brexit-white-paper/
LONDON — The U.K. will formally ask the EU for a post-Brexit “association agreement” including a “free-trade area” for goods, a looser arrangement for financial services, alongside a security partnership and continued membership of many EU agencies, according to a long-awaited white paper.
Confirming plans agreed by Theresa May’s Cabinet at a summit on Friday, which led to the resignation of Brexit Secretary David Davis and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, the white paper proposes that the U.K. abide by the EU’s common rule book for regulation and product standards for goods, to protect “just-in-time” supply chains.
Under the proposal, a joint EU-U.K. committee would judge whether an EU rule change applies to the association agreement, and then the U.K. parliament would have the right to decide to continue to abide by EU rules “recognizing there could be proportionate implications” for trade between the two if MPs decided not to.
The proposed relationship would require continued close cooperation with the EU, including “regular dialogue between U.K. and EU leaders.” The white paper acknowledges that as the arbiter of the EU’s regulations, U.K. courts must make reference to the European Court of Justice, but stipulates that an independent arbiter should settle any disputes between the U.K. and EU.
On customs, the white paper confirms the U.K.’s plan for a “facilitated customs arrangement,” (FCA) collecting EU tariffs at its border for goods destined for the EU market, while applying U.K. tariffs to goods destined for the U.K. market. The system will be subject to a “phased” implementation, with both the U.K. and EU having to make preparations, but the white paper gives no timeframe for the FCA to be up and running.

Trump: soft Brexit will 'kill' UK's chances of US trade deal
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/12/may-bids-for-trump-brexit-backing-with-vow-to-rip-up-red-tape
Theresa May will come under intense pressure to secure a future trade deal with the United States as she sits down with Donald Trump just hours after he warned that her soft Brexit blueprint would “kill” Britain’s chances.
In an extraordinary interview that threatened to undermine her new Brexit strategy, painfully thrashed out with her cabinet last week, Trump questioned whether her plans upheld the referendum result and accused her of ignoring his advice.
Against a backdrop of furious protests across the country, the US president openly humiliated May by suggesting that former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, who quit in opposition to her Brexit plans this week, would make a great prime minister.
On Thursday evening, as May told a dinner held in Trump’s honour at Blenheim Palace that her policy would create an “unprecedented opportunity” for a free trade agreement, his damaging statements were revealed.
In the interview, which ignores all usual diplomatic conventions, Trump warned that her soft Brexit approach would scupper any hopes of a free trade agreement, a cherished prize of many Brexiters.
“If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal. If they do that, then their trade deal with the US will probably not be made,” he said.

其實trump都係重申返美國政府一貫立場，英國留係common market 美國就直接同EU deal, 退咗就同英國分開deal. 唔同嘅係trump 可以比us-uk deal 行fast track, 唔洗排隊等. 成件事其實好正路，如果唔係英國就會成為eu/us 嘅backdoor 避關稅。

Trump prods Europe to get tough on Iran
https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-prods-europe-on-iran-ncri-bomb-plot/
The U.S. is raising pressure on European allies to isolate Iran in the wake of a foiled terrorist attack in France last month that Washington believes targeted American citizens, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Administration officials are citing the failed bombing in their effort to push European governments to choke off Iran’s access to everything from their airspace to cash deposits, arguing that Tehran’s involvement in terrorist plots obligate America’s allies to take a much harder line with the Islamic Republic. It was a message President Donald Trump delivered behind the scenes at this week’s NATO summit in Brussels, according to people familiar with the meetings.
“I would say there might be an escalation between us and the Iranians,” Trump said at a news conference in Brussels on Thursday.
“We ask our allies and partners to join our economic pressure campaign against Iran’s regime,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted before meeting European allies to discuss Iran on Thursday.
“We must cut off all funding the regime uses to fund terrorism and proxy wars. There’s no telling when Iran may try to foment terrorism, violence & instability in one of our countries next.”
So far, the Americans have had little luck in winning over the Europeans. They have run into resistance from allies angered by Trump’s harsh criticism of Europe, which many fear is undermining the transatlantic relationship. European leaders are also still trying to salvage what they can of the Iran nuclear deal, which they argue was the West’s best chance of keeping Tehran from building a nuclear arsenal. The EU has even vowed to try to protect European companies against American sanctions.

Sweden freaks out
https://www.politico.eu/article/sweden-joins-the-club-far-right-democrats-jimmie-akesson-stefan-lofven-general-election/
STOCKHOLM — In some respects, the far-right Sweden Democrats have already won September’s election.
It’s not just their spectacular rise in opinion polls, which has politicians no longer just speculating whether they’ll overtake the conservative Moderates to become the second-biggest party but whether they could even knock the Social Democrats off of the No. 1 perch they’ve held since 1917.
It’s also that, even in the unlikely event that the Sweden Democrats underperform in the general election on September 9, the far right will have succeeded in dictating the style and substance of a fear-filled campaign, where migration and violent crime have risen to the fore.
“Migration, and law and order has never been in the focus of any election in Sweden, ever,” said Gunnar Strömmer, who as party secretary of the Moderates is running the conservative party’s campaign.
To be clear: Sweden is not in chaos, and the election campaign, for the moment at least, is low-key even by drab European standards. Despite an increase in gang-related violence involving shootings and even some grenade attacks, the country’s police chief told POLITICO there has only been a small rise in the murder rate of about 100 per year (and no, there are no zeros missing).
Most polls currently see the Social Democrats, who won back power at the head of a leftist alliance in 2014 with 32 percent, dropping to about 24 percent. The Moderates — the traditional “law-and-order” party — are on track for about 20 percent, just below their historic average; and the Sweden Democrats are seen surging to at least 20 percent — and in some polls much higher — from zero seats in 2006 and 12.9 percent in 2014. It’s now an “open race … in a totally new landscape,” said Strömmer of the Moderates.
“Voters are saying ‘the economy is doing well and will probably do well with the conservatives or the Social Democrats, but what’s happening with integration and crime?'” Ygeman told POLITICO in his office in the Riksdag. “We’ve had our big losses when this question has dominated the agenda.”

The pair will meet for talks in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, on Monday.
"It's on," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters.
But there are calls for the meeting to be cancelled after the US charged 12 Russian intelligence officers with election interference on Friday.

US lifts order against China's ZTE
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-44825878
The US has lifted an order that blocked Chinese tech giant ZTE from doing business with US companies, forcing the firm to halt major operations.
US President Donald Trump had intervened to end the ban, which was imposed in April and tied to ZTE violations of US sanctions against Iran and North Korea.
Instead the US said ZTE would be fined and forced to shake up its management.
The US Commerce Department said the firm had now complied with all steps.
ZTE paid a $1bn penalty last month and has now placed an additional $400m in a holding account against further violations, the Commerce Department said on Friday.
It suspended major operations this spring after the US imposed the ban. The US said the firm had lied about punishing employees involved in violating US sanctions against North Korea and Iran.
