a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.

we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.

that have happened today and
that will be happening in the

House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.

Chinese President Xi Jinping conveyed to former Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou on Wednesday that external interference would not impede the "family reunion" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He emphasised that all issues are open for discussion. Since the Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 following a civil war loss to Mao Zedong's communists, no sitting Taiwanese leader has visited China. However, Ma, who served as president from 2008 to 2016, broke this pattern last year, marking the first visit by a former Taiwanese leader to China. This visit, Ma's second, occurs amid heightened military tensions in the region.

Protesters in Manila trampled on an effigy of Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday as they condemned China’s “aggression” against the Philippines in the South China Sea. The protesters marched towards the Chinese consulate in Manila, chanting “China leave!” while others called out China’s “aggression” against Filipino people in the South China Sea.

Indonesia Issues Tsunami Alert , Following Volcano Eruption.
On April 17, hundreds of villagers on
Ruang Island, North Sulawesi, were ordered
to evacuate by Indonesian authorities.
Since the night of April 16, a 2,400-foot volcano known as Mount Ruang
"erupted at least five times," CNN reports. .
Authorities fear that Mount Ruang
could collapse into the ocean and trigger
a tsunami, just like it did in 1871.
Earthquakes that recently occurred in the
area reportedly triggered the eruptions. .
The force of Mount Ruang’s
eruption is getting bigger and
has emitted hot clouds of
approximately 1.7 kilometers, Hendra Gunawan, the head of Indonesia's volcanology agency, via CNN.
About 800 people live on Ruang Island.
According to authorities, they have
evacuated to Tagulandang Island. .
Officials warn that even those on Tagulandang Island should be aware of possible "falling incandescent rocks and hot cloud surges," CNN reports. .
There have been no casualties reported thus far.
Indonesia, which sits on the Ring of Fire,
has over 120 active volcanoes.
In 2018, Anak Krakatau fell into the sea after erupting and caused a tsunami that killed over 400 people on the Java and Sumatra islands.

since it has jeopardized the academic
journey of millions of students, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.

that the administration is STILL not
doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, , “We know what Republicans are going to do; we can’t
stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”
