Chinese exporters say US markets are ‘frozen’, and more – Five stories you need to know | Reuters

From Reuters.

1. Most Chinese exporters Reuters spoke with said U.S. orders have either been delayed or stopped coming – a bad sign for the world’s second-largest economy, whose growth last year relied heavily on running a trillion-dollar trade surplus.
No other country comes close to matching China’s sales of more than $400 billion in goods to the U.S. each year.

2. Harvard on Monday rejected numerous demands from the Trump administration that it said would cede control of the school to a conservative government that portrays universities as dangerously leftist.

3. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that it was not easy to agree with the United States on the key parts of a possible peace deal to end the war in Ukraine and that Russia would never again allow itself to depend economically on the West.

4. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said at the White House on Monday he had no plans to return a man mistakenly deported from the United States, suggesting that doing so would be like smuggling a terrorist into the country.

5. China and Vietnam took initial steps during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Hanoi this week to develop new rail links, as they agreed to conduct feasibility studies for two lines, according to one of the agreements reviewed by Reuters.
