IMF approves a €3 billion bailout plan for bankrupt Sri Lanka
The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday it is assessing Sri Lanka’s governance in the first case of an Asian country facing scrutiny for corruption as part of a bailout program.
China's immediate response to Trump's renewed tariff threat signals a sharp escalation in the U.S.-China trade war. Calling it a “mistake on top of a mistake,” Beijing slammed the move and vowed firm retaliation. The China-U.S. trade war deepens as Trump sets a new tariff deadline. Beijing shows no signs of backing down.

Asian markets surged after the U.S. and China held "substantial" trade talks in Geneva, offering hope for a resolution to the tariff war that has shaken global markets. With earlier tariffs reaching as high as 145% on Chinese goods and 125% in retaliation, fears of a recession had loomed large. But both sides called the discussions constructive, raising expectations for a deal. The WTO praised the talks as a "significant step forward," while U.S. futures, oil, and the dollar all climbed on optimism of easing tensions.
