• China's exports to US fell 16% in August as Trump escalates trade war China's exports unexpectedly fell in August as shipments to the United States slowed sharply, pointing to further weakness in the world's second-largest economy and underlining a pressing need for more stimulus as the Sino-U.S. trade war escalates. August exports fell 1% from a year earlier, the biggest fall since June, when it fell 1.3%, customs data showed on Sunday. Analysts had expected a 2.0% rise in a Reuters poll after July's 3.3% gain.

• France's Macron says U.K. has given E.U. 'no clear or concrete proposals' for new Brexit deal French President Emmanuel Macron stated that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not presented any clear or concrete proposals to the EU for a new Brexit deal since taking office two months prior. Macron noted that there has been a lot of noise without serious discussion, and EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier confirmed that there have been very few discussions with British negotiators since July 24. Macron emphasized that the deadlock is a British issue, not a European one, and any proposals must comply with EU requirements to move forward. On September 4, British lawmakers voted to make a no-deal Brexit illegal, despite speculation that it might be Johnson's preferred option. Johnson's cabinet member Amber Rudd resigned on September 7, citing doubts about the government's intentions. Macron mentioned that France might veto further Brexit extensions and suggested that the UK could cancel Brexit by revoking Article 50. source: time.com
