🇺🇸🇯🇵🇨🇳 THE U.S. CAN’T NEGOTIATE??
This is WILD.
Former Asst. Secretary of Defense Chas Freeman says the Trump admin literally couldn't explain to Japan what they wanted during trade talks.
The Japanese said ‘what is it that you want?’ And the Americans COULD NOT explain what they wanted.
Freeman also says the U.S. has broken almost every deal it’s made recently — including Trump’s own NAFTA replacement.
Why would anyone negotiate with that track record?
China sure won’t:
What is China’s incentive to negotiate when the U.S. has no stated objectives that make sense and no record of compliance with its own agreements?
They’re playing the long game — waiting for Americans to feel the pain when Walmart & Amazon shelves go empty.

President Vladimir Putin has announced an unexpected and brief unilateral Easter truce in Russia’s war on Ukraine while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists that Russian “assault operations” and “artillery fire are ongoing”.
Zelenskyy initially called the announcement on Saturday “another attempt by Putin to play with human lives. … Air raid alerts are spreading across Ukraine,” and “Shahed drones in our skies reveal Putin’s true attitude toward Easter and toward human life.

France said Tuesday it was expelling 12 Algerian diplomatic officials a day after Algeria announced the expulsion of the same number of French officials in escalating tensions between the two countries.
Algeria said Monday that its expulsion of 12 French officials was over the arrest of an Algerian consular official by French authorities in a kidnapping case, but relations between the two sides have been deteriorating since last summer.

A Louisiana immigration judge said Friday that Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil – a legal permanent resident – can be deported after the United States government argued his presence posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.”
The decision by Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Jamee Comans comes after the federal government submitted evidence to the court on Wednesday, including a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio alleging Khalil is deportable because of his “beliefs, statements or associations” that would compromise US foreign policy interests.
Khalil’s attorneys said the judge’s decision was solely based on Rubio’s memo – which contained no allegations of criminal activity – and was a violation of the graduate’s constitutional right to free speech that sets a harmful precedent.

The European Union is breathing a deep sigh of relief after Donald Trump, under intense pressure from the market, U-turned and agreed to introduce a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs, which have threatened to cause a worldwide recession.
"I welcome President Trump's announcement to pause reciprocal tariffs. It's an important step towards stabilising the global economy," Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement released on Thursday morning.

"Clear, predictable conditions are essential for trade and supply chains to function."

President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to reverse course on his sweeping tariff plan by announcing a three-month pause revealed his threshold for political pain: One week.
“They were getting yippy,” Trump said, explaining the rising criticism raining down on the White House over the last week. “They were getting a little bit yippy, a little afraid.”

A growing trade war? Trump says China ‘wants to make a deal’
But top US trade official suggests Beijing has not sought talks with Washington as deadline for additional tariffs looms.
With the clock ticking for additional United States tariffs to be placed on goods from China, President Donald
Trump has said he is waiting for a call from Beijing to defuse a growing trade war.
After a phone call with South Korea’s acting president, Han Duck-soo, on Tuesday, Trump said South Korean officials are travelling to the US for trade talks.
He added that “many other countries” want to open economic negotiations with Washington.

What do y’all think about this tweet from Mister President?
He’s claiming the U.S. is raking in billions from tariffs, inflation is dead, and China’s crashing while raising tariffs even more. Also says past leaders let other countries walk all over us.
Hot take or hard facts?
Curious where this community stands—agree, disagree, somewhere in between?

For weeks, US airstrikes have pounded Houthi targets in Yemen, hitting oil refineries, airports and missile sites, with President Trump vowing to use “overwhelming force” until the US achieves its goal of stopping the Houthis from targeting shipping in the Red Sea.
The Houthis began the campaign in solidarity with Palestinians when Israel went to war in Gaza in October 2023. The group has carried out more than 100 attacks and have sunk two vessels. The result: 70% of merchant shipping that once transited the Red Sea now takes the long route around southern Africa.

So... 1,200+ protests. All 50 states. Today felt different.
People are angry—not just at Trump, but at everything happening under his watch: mass layoffs of federal workers, immigrant families being torn apart, trans rights under attack, health programs getting slashed. It’s not just “politics” anymore. It’s people’s lives.
What stood out to me the most was how many different groups came together—LGBTQ+ folks, vets, labor unions, civil rights orgs. When you see that kind of unity, you know something real is happening.
Anyone else feel like this is the spark of something bigger? Curious what others are seeing in their cities.

Trump just slapped a 34% tariff on Chinese goods—on top of the 20% earlier this year. That’s 54% total. In response, China’s hitting back with more tariffs and curbs on rare earth exports.

Massive New Tariffs Incoming—How Will This Hit Your Wallet?
Trump just announced huge new tariffs on imports from China (54%), Vietnam (46%), Cambodia (49%), and the EU (20%). Starting May 2, even small packages under $800 from China (AliExpress, Temu, Shein, etc.) will get slapped with the 54% rate.
For context: The U.S. imported $439B worth of goods from China last year. These new tariffs mean higher prices for consumers and potential retaliation from trading partners.
Trump claims these tariffs just "match" what other countries charge us. But the numbers seem... murky. Regardless, this could shake up global trade and hit wallets hard.
Do you think this is a necessary move to protect American jobs, or is it just another tax on consumers? How will this impact your business or spending habits?

President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs are a day away – and they’ll go into effect sooner than some had expected. As in, immediately, the White House said Tuesday.
Although many details remain unknown, perhaps even to Trump himself, the administration’s “Liberation Day” trade policy announcement is expected to be the most aggressive tariff move yet by the most tariff-obsessed president in modern history. Trump is meeting with his trade team Tuesday and the tariffs he announces at a Rose Garden ceremony at 4 pm ET Wednesday will go into effect “immediately,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday a press briefing.

For weeks, President Donald Trump has promoted April 2 as “Liberation Day” in America, when a number of massive tariffs will be announced to fulfill the administration’s ambitious economic agenda. The plan has largely remained a mystery, however, as Trump and his administration have floated a number of constantly changing and conflicting proposals. Now we know a little more about what to expect.
A very little bit: We now know how it will be announced. Maybe.

Trump's Big Gamble: Is America Ready for Tariff-Fueled Prosperity?
This week, President Donald Trump is putting it all on the line.
In a bold move that could reshape the U.S. economy, he’s betting the success of his second term, the financial future of millions, and the country’s economic independence on one core belief: tariffs can bring back the golden age of American wealth.
But is this the answer, or a risky gamble with far-reaching consequences?
Tariffs were supposed to bolster American jobs and industries, but how will they impact everyday Americans — prices, jobs, and the global market?
What’s your take: Will Trump's tariff strategy pay off, or will it backfire? 💭
