Trump Says Fed Chair’s ‘Termination Cannot Come Fast Enough’

President Trump lashed out at Jerome H. Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, on Thursday, saying “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!” Mr. Trump’s ire followed remarks by Mr. Powell on Wednesday, in which he warned in a speech that tariffs could create a “challenging scenario” for the central bank by putting its two main goals — stable inflation and a healthy labor market — in tension. Mr. Powell reiterated that the Fed could afford to be patient with its interest rate decisions until it had more clarity about Mr. Trump’s policies. The Fed chair’s emphasis on the need to ensure that a temporary rise in inflation from tariffs did not become a more persistent problem suggested that the bar for further rate cuts was high. The president has been pushing for Mr. Powell to cut rates. On Thursday, […]

Retail sales surged in March as Americans rushed to beat Trump’s tariffs

Retail sales climbed 1.4% in March from the prior month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, up from February’s 0.2% gain and the highest monthly gain since January 2023. The figures are adjusted for seasonal swings but not inflation. The strong showing in March was largely driven by sales of cars and auto parts. Excluding those purchases, retail sales were up a more modest 0.5% rump’s erratic trade war has unsettled Americans in recent months, stoking fears of inflation picking up in the year ahead, according to various sentiment surveys. That expectation is now clearly having an effect on people’s purchasing behavior. Americans’ spending frenzy could stretch into April, but will eventually fade, economists say. These brief buying sprints make it difficult for Wall Street and the Federal Reserve to understand the true strength of consumer spending, which powers about 70% of […]

JD Vance Sees ‘Good Chance’ of Trade Deal With Britain

Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism about a future U.S.-U.K. trade deal under a potential Trump administration, citing President Trump’s affinity for Britain as a reassuring signal for a nation recently subjected to his 10% tariff policy. In an interview published Tuesday by the British outlet UnHerd, Vance emphasized Trump’s admiration for King Charles III, calling the U.S.-U.K. bond “a very important relationship.” He also noted ongoing collaboration with Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, stating, “There’s a good chance we’ll come to a great agreement that’s in the best interest of both countries.” While details of a potential deal remain vague, negotiations are expected to face hurdles. Past U.S.-U.K. trade talks have stalled over contentious issues like American agricultural imports, including chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-treated beef—products long opposed by British critics. The U.S. has prioritized trade discussions with Japan and other […]

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs

In a notice issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency confirmed that several electronic goods—most notably smartphones and semiconductors—will now be excluded from the 10% global tariff imposed by former President Donald Trump, as well as the steep China-specific import duties. This marks the first major relief from Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods, with some trade analysts calling it a “game-changing scenario.” The move follows increasing pressure from U.S. tech giants warning that production costs—and ultimately consumer prices—could surge due to the tariffs, as much of their manufacturing is based in China. While en route to Miami on Saturday, Trump told reporters he would share more details on the exemptions early next week. The tariff exclusions, retroactively effective from April 5, also cover a range of other electronics and components, such as memory cards, solar cells, and integrated […]

U.S. Federal Court Compels FBI, Anti-Drug Agency to Disclose President Tinubu’s Investigative Records in Groundbreaking Transparency Order

In a landmark decision with far-reaching implications, Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued a compelling order requiring the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to release all records pertaining to investigations involving Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The 32-page ruling, delivered on Tuesday, represents a significant victory for government transparency advocates and could potentially reshape public understanding of the Nigerian leader's controversial past in the United States. The court's decision stems from a persistent legal battle waged by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan, founder of PlainSite, a nonprofit organization dedicated to government accountability. Greenspan had filed multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking documentation related to: Tinubu's 1993 forfeiture of $460,000 to the U.S. government Any investigations into alleged narcotics trafficking activities Financial transactions involving Tinubu […]

Gunmen Kidnap US Missionary During Sermon In South Africa

In a brazen act of violence, gunmen stormed a church service in Durban, South Africa, kidnapping a U.S. missionary mid-sermon and sparking international outrage. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday evening, underscores growing concerns about organized crime, foreigner-targeted abductions, and security challenges in the region. The victim, identified as 42-year-old Pastor Michael Carter from Ohio, was leading a prayer session at a local congregation when armed men disrupted the gathering, firing shots into the air before seizing him. Eyewitnesses described chaos as worshippers fled, while the assailants escaped with Carter in a waiting vehicle. Local authorities have launched a manhunt, though no group has claimed responsibility. South Africa’s high crime rates, particularly kidnappings for ransom, have surged in recent years, with foreigners increasingly targeted due to perceptions of wealth. The U.S. State Department has issued repeated travel advisories warning citizens […]

Trump Envoy Arrives in Russia Seeking to Rekindle Ukraine War Talks

A high-profile envoy linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Moscow in a controversial bid to revive stalled negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war, reigniting debates about America’s role in the conflict and the feasibility of diplomacy amid escalating hostilities. The envoy, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly aims to broker backchannel talks between Russian officials and Western allies, though skepticism abounds over the mission’s legitimacy and potential outcomes. The surprise visit comes as Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts face logistical and tactical challenges, and international support for Kyiv shows signs of strain. While the Biden administration and NATO allies continue to emphasize military and financial aid to Ukraine, Trump-aligned figures have increasingly criticized the prolonged conflict, advocating for a negotiated settlement. Critics argue, however, that Trump’s envoy lacks formal U.S. government authority, raising questions about Moscow’s willingness to engage with […]
