Trump delivered his strongest condemnation yet of Hezbollah, declaring that the Iran-backed group has been "crippled" following last year’s deadly conflict with Israel.

Trump fiercely defended the controversial $400 million Boeing 747 jet gifted by Qatar, lashing out at critics as "fools" and insisting the aircraft is meant for the United States — not for him personally. Trump claims the jet will serve as a temporary Air Force One replacement and save taxpayer dollars. But prominent Republicans and ethics experts are raising red flags over the optics, legality, and potential security risks, questioning whether the gift is truly for America or a veiled personal perk.

As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemen’s Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises.

A fresh legal storm is brewing as former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a $400 million Boeing “floating palace” from Qatar. The role of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has come under scrutiny for “green-lighting” the controversial deal, over her previous role as a Lobbyist for the Qatari government. Senate Democrats had earlier flagged her failure to disclose these ties. As negotiations between the U.S. and Qatar continue, and with Trump’s upcoming visit to the Gulf nation, questions over legality, foreign influence, and ethics are intensifying.

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in.

President Trump has dramatically escalated the U.S.-China trade war, announcing tariffs of up to 245% on Chinese imports following Beijing’s halt on future Boeing deliveries. The White House confirmed this move was a direct response to China backing out of a major aircraft deal. China’s Foreign Ministry hit back, calling the U.S. pressure “blackmail” and warning that they are not afraid of a prolonged trade fight. As both nations dig in, Trump says the “ball is in China’s court,” and that America will not back down until it’s respected again.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to China, stating that the "ball is in China's court" amidst rising tensions and escalating tariffs. America's tariffs on Chinese goods have reached 145%, while China retaliates with 125% tariffs on U.S. imports. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that while the U.S. is open to negotiations, China must take the first step. This conflict, sparked by trade practices and the fentanyl issue, has deepened since Trump’s administration took office, with both countries facing significant economic consequences.

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.
