China Flexes Muscles at UN Cultural Agency as Trump Exits UNESCO

China is asserting growing influence within UNESCO—using its financial and institutional weight at the U.N.’s cultural agency—just as former President Trump moves ahead with a new U.S. withdrawal from the organization. What We Found The U.S. officially decided on July 22, 2025 to withdraw from UNESCO again, effective December 31, 2026, citing concerns over anti-Israel bias, “woke” cultural policies, and excessive Chinese influence. China has become UNESCO's largest contributor, supplying almost 20% of its budget as of 2023—far outpacing the U.S., which now contributes around 8% thanks to diversified funding. Chinese-backed projects and heritage listings—like protection of Uyghur and other minority cultural properties—have made Beijing a dominant force in UNESCO decision-making and programming. Analysts and U.S. officials emphasize that the U.S. absence creates a vacuum eventually filled by China, ceding global norm-setting authority especially around cultural governance and AI policy. […]

Ethiopia Denies Trump Claim US Funded Grand Ethiopian Dam

Former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted—most recently at a White House dinner and on social media—that the United States “stupidly financed” the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). He claims the dam was built “mostly with American money.” What We Found Ethiopian authorities strongly deny Trump’s assertion. Aregawi Berhe, Director-General of GERD’s coordination office, called the claim “groundless,” affirming that since its inception in 2012, the dam has been financed by Ethiopian citizens and government through bonds, donations, and labor. Funding came solely from domestic efforts, including bond sales and diaspora contributions—no US government financing has been involved. The GERD, costing around US$5 billion, has been built primarily through Ethiopian investment, with additional contributions from China (via its Exim Bank) for turbines and transmission infrastructure—no US backing is recorded. Expert Insight The dam is widely understood in global reporting to be […]

Trump’s Tariff Tactics Are Getting Results, Says Faisal Islam

Faisal Islam, Economics Editor at the BBC, asserts that President Trump's aggressive tariff strategies—such as blanket duties and “reciprocal tariffs”—are starting to yield concrete results. He highlights trade concessions, particularly from Japan, as early signs that international partners are yielding to U.S. pressure. What We Found Islam points to the Japan trade deal as a key example: after facing heavy tariffs, Japan reportedly agreed to concessions, indicating countries may capitulate to avoid U.S. levies. Trump’s second administration (2025) implemented a sweeping package of tariffs—e.g. 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, 25% on autos, and a universal 10% tariff via emergency powers—which reportedly rose average tariffs to over 15% by mid‑2025 and generated significant revenue (~5% of federal income). Islam frames these measures as negotiation tools rather than protectionist policy: the purpose is to compel concessions, not ensure lasting trade peace. […]

Ten Die in Gaza From Malnutrition; Israel Denies Starvation Claims

Hamas Health Ministry reports that ten more Palestinians have died from malnutrition in the past day, bringing the total to 111 hunger-related deaths. Meanwhile, Israel rejects allegations of mass starvation or a deliberate siege, attributing the crisis instead to Hamas and logistical challenges. What We Found Gaza hospitals recorded 10 additional hunger-related deaths, increasing the total to 111 in recent weeks, per Gaza Health Ministry statements. Over 100 NGOs and aid agencies (e.g., MSF, Oxfam, Norwegian Refugee Council) warn of “forced mass starvation” in Gaza and criticize Israel’s blockade and aid restrictions. Conversely, the Israeli government disputes claims of famine, stating any shortages are a result of Hamas’s actions—“man-made shortage engineered by Hamas”—not a deliberate Israeli strategy. Reuters and AP report these deaths amid mounting evidence of dire hunger: Reuters cites 15 recent starvation fatalities including infants; AP highlights WHO […]
