European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg on June 16 voted to approve legislation implementing the EU-US trade agreement; the text will be submitted to the EU Council for approval. Parliament and EU Council negotiators agreed on May 20 to grant preferential tariff treatment for US exports to the EU while bolstering safeguard mechanisms to protect the EU and its member states. Trump had warned he would sharply raise US tariffs on EU exports if the EU had not implemented the deal by July 4.

Hunan provincial party secretary Shen Xiaoming chaired a June 16 planning meeting on industrial development and major project construction, directing the province to plan for future industries, solidify advantaged sectors and upgrade traditional industries to expand industrial capacity. He called for long-term strategic patience and a determined effort to tackle difficulties, better situational and trend analysis to support policy decisions, and fuller use of universities and research institutes to drive industrial innovation. The province will push for return of Hunan entrepreneurs, raise the quality and efficiency of government investment funds, and pursue a dual stock-and-flow approach—spatially prioritizing activation of existing assets while strengthening incremental industrial capacity—to lift economic quality and achieve reasonable scale growth.
