China's Finance Ministry: “The U.S. imposition of abnormally high tariffs on China seriously violates international and economic trade rules, basic economic laws and common sense and is completely unilateral bullying and coercion.”
For those who thought the president was under “enormous internal pressure” because his “billionaire friends were losing money”:
“This is the right time to buy,” he said, lifting the tariffs shortly after—later cheerfully recounting how his friends and allies made $2.5 billion and $900 million.

China officially announced today that the world’s two largest economies are now decoupled. In a statement this morning, the Chinese government declared it is raising import tariffs on American goods to 125%, adding that at this level of taxation, trade between the U.S. and China is no longer viable—so Beijing will not raise tariffs further, even if Trump does.
China called Donald Trump’s tariffs a “numbers game with no practical economic relevance” that “will expose U.S. bullying and coercion” and “will become a joke.”
The Dow tumbled today roughly 1,000 points, closing down 2.5%, while the S&P 500 fell 3.46% and the Nasdaq Composite slid 4.31%, erasing nearly a third of the recovery seen at close yesterday spurred by U.S. President Trump’s announcement of a “90-Day PAUSE” on the reciprocal tariffs revealed in early April.
The U.S. Supreme Court tonight in a unanimous 9-0 vote, ruled that the Trump Administration must return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian residing in Maryland on a “special immigration status” who was arrested without warrant and wrongfully deported last month to the notorious CECOT maximum-security mega-prison in El Salvador, alongside roughly 100 other illegal migrants who immigration officials claimed were violent criminals and/or members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang operating in North, Central and South America.
Douglas Murray explains Hamas’s war strategy to Dave Smith and Joe Rogan:
“They’re a force that not only ignores the rules of war — they weaponize *your* adherence to them against you.”

Chinese authorities have acknowledged that China was behind a widespread series of cyberattacks targeting U.S. infrastructure, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Chinese delegation — during a meeting held in December 2024 — linked years of intrusions into computer networks at ports, water utilities, airports, and other U.S. targets to the growing political support from the United States for Taiwan, the WSJ report says.

PM Netanyahu:
“Canada has always sided with civilization. So should Mr. Carney. But instead of supporting Israel, a democracy fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, he attacks the only Jewish state.
Mr. Carney, backtrack your irresponsible statement!”

Trump: ״There is progress on the hostage issue, we are moving towards releasing hostages.״

Trump: “Was with the hostages. We’re making progress. You know, there’s 59 hostages, but only 24 of them are living. That’s the way it’s been presented to me by the mothers and fathers of some of the dead hostages. They want the bodies of their baby — as they say, their baby.
Their young boys — they want them back as much as if they were alive. It’s amazing. When I met the hostages two weeks ago here, I couldn’t believe what they had to go through. But when I met them, they said, “Yeah, there’s 59, but 24 are living.” And they actually consider — I guess if you’re a parent, you do consider it this way — that the remainder who are dead, the 24 that are alive, the remainder that are dead, they want them back just as much as they would want them back if they were alive. It’s really pretty amazing and pretty sad.
So we’re getting close to getting them back. A lot came back. A lot of people are very grateful. Some came back in pretty bad shape. Some came back — they’re okay. I think they’re going to be scarred mentally for a long time, because if you sit down and talk to them, as I have, what they went through is incredible.
But we’re making progress. We’re dealing with Israel. We’re dealing with Hamxs. And it’s a nasty group.”
