Trump uses tariffs as foreign policy tool against India, China

Trump uses tariffs as foreign policy tool against India, China

U.S. President Donald Trump is using tariffs as a foreign policy tool by imposing secondary duties on Indian goods because of India’s purchase of Russian oil, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview with Fox News on Thursday. “President Trump is using tariffs as an instrument of foreign policy, and he is putting secondary tariffs on India for buying Russian oil,“ Bessent told Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” program. Asked if the U.S. could slap additional tariffs on Chinese goods over Beijing’s purchase of Russian oil, Bessent said Trump is keeping all options open to stop the war in Ukraine and “China tariffs could be on the table at some point.” - Reuters

Analysis warns new data centre incentives could add 10 million tons of emissions annually

Analysis warns new data centre incentives could add 10 million tons of emissions annually

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s rapid data centre expansion could significantly drive up national greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new analysis by environmental watchdog RimbaWatch. In its report “Climate Impacts of Malaysia’s Data Centre Expansion”, the group estimated that 14 new data centres — including three completed between 2023 and November 2024, two under expansion, five under construction, and four proposed — will add 2.2GW of capacity nationwide. Its director Adam Farhan said in a statement today, of this, 1.7GW has no immediate renewable energy plans, meaning it will depend on Malaysia’s largely fossil fuel-powered grid. “Based on projected annual consumption of 12,920 GWh, the facilities could generate 9.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) a year once fully operational. “That’s like putting over two million more cars on Malaysian roads. It’s also equivalent to the 2023 emissions of entire countries like Papua New Guinea,” he added. Adam said the high emissions figure stems from the country’s energy mix, which in 2022 was 81% fossil fuels. He emphasised that Malaysia’s plan to increase gas-fired power plant capacity by 50% to cater to rising data centre demand is inconsistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. “Therefore, we urge a rapid fossil fuel phase-out in data centre expansion, with a sector-wide carbon budget aligned to the 1.5°C target. “Additionally, only centres running on 100% renewable energy and adding extra capacity to the grid should be approved, while water use must be limited to protect household and sector needs.” He also stressed that all data centre projects must also undergo mandatory environmental impact assessments, which should be open for public consultation and permanently accessible to the public. “As the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) plans a new 2025 investment incentive framework for data centres with carbon and water indicators, we urge the ministry to set and enforce strict emissions and water-use limits. “This should include near- and long-term water budgets that account for household needs, other economic sectors, and climate risks.” The full RimbaWatch analysis and methodology are available at rimbawatchmy.com .

Trump memo requires universities to disclose race-based admissions data

Trump memo requires universities to disclose race-based admissions data

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a memorandum that requires universities to collect admissions data to prove they are not engaged in efforts to shape their student bodies along racial lines, according to the White House. But the largest higher education policy and lobbying organization in the U.S. said the wording of the memo was vague and it may be illegal for schools to collect the data on race that the White House seeks. The move is the latest effort in the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle affirmative action policies at universities. It has launched dozens of investigations and threatened to cut off funding to schools that promote diversity, equity and inclusion programs. According to the memorandum, a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling knocked down the use of affirmative action in college admissions, but universities have been getting around the decision because of a lack of admissions data and by relying on “diversity statements” students provide in applying that indicate their race. The U.S. Department of Education said in a statement that Education Secretary Linda McMahon had directed the National Center for Education Statistics to now collect from universities data on the race and gender of their applicant pool, on the students admitted and of all enrolled undergraduates. But Jonathan Fansmith, senior vice president at the American Council on Education, a higher education lobbying and advocacy organization with 1,600 member schools, said collecting such data was illegal under the very Supreme Court ruling that ended affirmative action. “You can’t consider race in admissions, so schools don’t collect data on race from applicants,“ Fansmith said. “This seems to be an effort to get institutions to provide information that we don’t have and that we can’t collect.” The White House and the Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Fansmith’s assertion that collecting the data would be illegal. - Reuters
