US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on April 22, 2025 in Washington, DC
Trump says China tariffs will ‘come down substantially,’ hinting at potential U-turn
HONG KONG/WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signaled a potential U-turn on his trade war with China, saying the high tariffs on Chinese goods will “come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”Trump’s remarks, made at a White House news event Tuesday, appear to mark a rhetorical climbdown after weeks of tough posturing and tit-for-tat retaliation that sent tariffs on China beyond a staggering 145%.“145% is very high and it won’t be that high,” Trump said in a question-and-answer session with reporters in the Oval Office. “It won’t be anywhere near that high. It’ll come down substantially. But it won’t be zero.”Trump made the comments when asked about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks earlier in the day that the high tariff rates between the...

Harvard sues Trump administration, taking the fight over federal funding to court
WASHINGTON — Harvard University sued the Trump administration Monday in a new escalation of the fight over institutional oversight, independence and federal funding for the Ivy League school.University President Alan M. Garber said in a letter to the Harvard community that the administration’s recent actions — including a $2.2 billion federal funding freeze at Harvard, with even more money potentially on the line — “have stark real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, and the standing of American higher education in the world.”The Trump administration is demanding Harvard give it access to all university reports on antisemitism and anti-Muslim bias on campus generated since October 2023, as it ramps up a confrontation with the school that risks...

Canada's top candidates talk up fossil fuels as climate slips down agenda
ONTARIO — As the threat posed by US President Donald Trump tops Canada's federal election agenda, the issue of the country's contribution to global warming has been largely overshadowed.The two main contenders are pushing plans for new energy infrastructure as the country seeks to pivot away from its reliance on the US.Mark Carney's Liberals are promising to make Canada a global superpower in both conventional and green energy.

El Salvador offers Venezuela prisoner swap involving US deportees
SAN SALVADOR — El Salvador's president has offered to repatriate 252 Venezuelans deported by the US and imprisoned in his country — if Venezuela releases the same number of political prisoners.Nayib Bukele appealed directly to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a post on social media.He said many of the Venezuelan deportees had committed "rape and murder", while Venezuelan political prisoners were jailed only because they opposed Maduro, whose re-election last year is widely disputed.The Venezuelan government argues that it has no political prisoners — a claim rejected by rights groups.In a post on X, Bukele wrote: "I want to propose you [Maduro] a humanitarian agreement calling for the repatriation of 100% of the 252 Venezuelans who were deported, in exchange...

US lays out plans to hit Chinese ships with port fees
WASHINGTON — The US has revealed plans to impose port fees on Chinese ships to try to revive shipbuilding in the US and challenge China's dominance of the industry.From mid-October, Chinese ship owners and operators will be charged $50 per ton of cargo with the fees increasing each year for the next three years.There have been concerns that the measures would further disrupt global trade after US President Donald Trump's raft of tariff policies, but the fee is less severe than originally suggested.China's foreign ministry spokesperson said the fees will raise prices for US consumers and "will not revitalize the US shipbuilding industry".The US Trade Representative (USTR) said: "China has largely achieved its dominance goals, severely disadvantaging US...
