Xi Gives Trump Grand Welcome in Beijing

Chinese President Xi Jinping gave US President Donald Trump a highly ceremonial welcome in Beijing on the opening day of a visit that could reshape relations between the world’s two largest powers. The reception outside the Great Hall of the People featured a military honour guard, a gun salute and performances of the American national anthem. Schoolchildren waving Chinese and US flags lined the route as Trump greeted them during the ceremony. During their meeting, Trump warmly praised Xi, describing him as a “great leader” while highlighting the importance of continued dialogue between both countries. The atmosphere marked a sharp contrast from the harsh rhetoric Trump previously used against China during his political campaigns and trade disputes with Beijing. Over recent years, tensions between Washington and Beijing intensified over tariffs, trade imbalances, Taiwan and geopolitical influence. At the peak of […]

Trump Imposes New 10% Global Tariff

The United States has entered a new phase of trade tensions after President Donald Trump announced a 10% global tariff, replacing a set of duties recently struck down by the Supreme Court of the United States. The move comes days after the court ruled, in a 6–3 decision, that the president had exceeded his authority in imposing sweeping tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The justices concluded that Congress had not explicitly granted the executive branch the power to introduce such broad-based import taxes. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, emphasized that when Congress delegates tariff authority, it does so clearly and with defined limits. The ruling was supported by the court’s three liberal justices, along with conservative justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch. Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito dissented. […]

Trump links Greenland threat to Nobel Peace Prize snub

United States President Donald Trump has linked his push for control of Greenland and his tariff threats against European allies to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In a message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, he wrote that he no longer feels obliged to think only of peace after the Norwegian Nobel Committee passed him over.​ Trump complained that Norway did not award him the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, which went instead to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. He said he can now focus on what he considers good and proper for the United States, while still claiming peace remains a priority.​ The president has intensified his demand for the U.S. to take control of Greenland from Denmark, arguing that Copenhagen cannot defend the island from Russia or China. He has questioned why Denmark has […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]

Trump Takes Swipe at France: “We’ve Had a Lot of Problems”

US President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview, took aim at France stating, “We’ve had a lot of problems with the French.” The comments came after Fox’s Laura Ingraham mentioned Chinese students in US universities, prompting Trump to compare them with the French, questioning if the French are “better.” Trump referenced France’s digital taxation policies, arguing the US is unfairly taxed by France on American technology companies. He has previously vowed “substantial” tariffs against countries enacting such “discriminatory” digital taxes. The comment also touched on Trump’s complicated, sometimes tense relationship with French President Emmanuel Macron. The two have had both public displays of camaraderie and disagreements, particularly over climate, Palestine, and European defense through NATO. Trump called for Europe, and specifically France, to increase defense spending via NATO and criticized France’s handling of Ukraine military support. The remarks come […]

Xi Jinping urges global cooperation and free trade at APEC summit as Trump departs early

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged world leaders to strengthen economic globalisation and uphold multilateralism at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea — an event notably missed by US President Donald Trump. Xi took the spotlight during the two-day summit, which began on Friday, meeting with several regional leaders while Trump left South Korea a day earlier after signing deals aimed at cooling tensions in the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing. “The more turbulent the times, the more we must work together,” Xi said at the opening session. “The world is undergoing a period of rapid change, with the international situation becoming increasingly complex and volatile.” Positioning China as a champion of free trade, Xi warned against protectionist measures and economic decoupling — a veiled criticism of Trump’s “America First” policy and tariff-driven trade […]

Trump and Xi Agree to One-Year Trade Truce at APEC Summit in South Korea

United States President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed to pause their escalating trade dispute, reaching a one-year truce during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea. The agreement marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since 2019 and aims to ease months of tension that have rattled global markets and disrupted international supply chains. While the truce temporarily halts the exchange of new tariffs, it does not reverse existing trade barriers or fully resolve deep-rooted disagreements between Washington and Beijing. Dennis Wilder, a professor at Georgetown University and former China specialist for the CIA and the White House National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the outcome represents “a pause and a small rollback in the trade war.” “Both sides have not given up their trade weapons but have agreed to stop […]

Trump Condemns Canada Over Pulled Ad, Vows Retaliation

Despite Canada's move to withdraw a controversial advertisement, US President Donald Trump has accused the country of "dirty" tactics, escalating a diplomatic dispute that halted trade talks. The conflict began when the Canadian province of Ontario launched an ad campaign criticizing tariffs. The ad featured a clip of former US President Ronald Reagan warning about the dangers of trade wars. President Trump called the ad "fake" and "crooked," claiming it misrepresented Reagan's views, and announced he was ending trade negotiations with Canada. In response, Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated the ad would be pulled on Monday to allow talks to restart. However, President Trump remained critical, stating the ad should have been removed immediately and not aired during the first games of the World Series, which features the Canadian Toronto Blue Jays. “Canada got caught cheating on a commercial,” Trump […]

China Condemns US ‘Double Standards’ Over New Tariff Threat

China has accused the United States of applying “double standards” after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose an additional 100 percent tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1. In a statement released on Sunday, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce described Trump’s remarks as “a typical example of double standards,” criticizing Washington’s approach to trade relations. Trump had announced on Friday that the new tariffs would be imposed in response to what he called China’s “extraordinarily aggressive” export restrictions on rare-earth minerals — materials crucial for global technology and manufacturing industries. He also hinted that his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month might be canceled. Beijing said the United States has intensified economic pressure on China since September, warning that such actions have damaged mutual trust and disrupted trade negotiations between both nations.

Beijing Residents Dismiss Trump’s Tariff Threats

People in Beijing have reacted with calm and defiance to US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose steep new tariffs on Chinese imports. Speaking to AFP on Saturday, residents said they were not worried about the move and viewed it as another unpredictable gesture from the former US leader. Trump announced on Friday that the United States would impose an additional 100 percent tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1, or earlier. He also cast doubt on a possible meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The new tariffs, he said, were a response to Beijing’s export restrictions on rare-earth materials, which are crucial for high-tech industries. Chinese authorities have not yet issued an official response. The ministries of foreign affairs and commerce declined to comment when approached by AFP. “I felt nothing when I saw the news,” said […]
