On January 30, officials from the United States
and China met to discuss a joint effort to take action
on stemming the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
'TIME' reports that the meeting comes as a sign
of cooperation between the two global powers
to manage the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
The new counternarcotics working group met for
their first two-day meeting, focusing on ingredients
for the synthetic opioid that are manufactured in China.
In November of 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed

The U.S. is looking for China to increase efforts
to curb the export of chemicals that are processed
into fentanyl before being smuggled into the U.S.
'TIME' reports that synthetic opioids like
fentanyl have emerged as the deadliest
killers in the ongoing U.S. drug crisis.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, over 100,000 deaths
were linked to drug overdoses in 2022.
Over two-thirds of those overdoses were linked
with fentanyl or other similar synthetic opioids.
In exchange for cooperation on combating the flow of
fentanyl, the U.S. agreed to lift sanctions imposed on
China in 2020 over human rights violations against Uyghurs.

According to State Department spokesperson

willing to do on the trafficking of fentanyl precursors

Heavy rains and flash floods have killed at least 30 people in Beijing and Hebei, with Beijingâs Miyun district alone reporting 28 deaths. Landslides and rising river levels have intensified the crisis, prompting President Xi Jinping to order âall-outâ rescue operations. Over 80,000 residents have been evacuated, and 136 villages are without power. With over 543mm of rainfall recorded, infrastructure damage is extensive. Authorities have issued top-level flood alerts as emergency teams race to prevent further casualties and devastation.

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over Chinaâs geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijingâs stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.

In a fiery appearance at the AI Summit in Washington, Donald Trump signed a sweeping set of executive orders targeting what he called âwoke Marxist lunacyâ embedded in artificial intelligence. Trump vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from all federally supported AI development and accused the Biden administration of poisoning tech innovation with "toxic ideology."
The executive orders fast-track data center construction by gutting environmental protections, eliminate DEI from procurement guidelines, and demand that federal AI models reflect "truth, fairness, and strict impartiality." Trumpâs message was clear: America must lead the world in AIâand without the politics of the left.
Is this the beginning of an AI revolutionâor a rollback of rights?

Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video showing Barack Obama being handcuffed by FBI agents in the Oval Office as Trump watched and smiled. The clip, which ended with Obama in an orange jumpsuit behind bars, had no disclaimer indicating it was fake. Critics called it âdeeply irresponsible,â especially after Trump recently accused Obama of âhigh-level election fraudâ in 2016. The post follows Tulsi Gabbardâs claims that Obama officials fabricated the Trump-Russia collusion narrative, despite an ODNI report stating Russia likely did not influence U.S. election results.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially axed all federal funding for Californiaâs long-delayed and over-budget high-speed rail project. Calling it the âHIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE,â Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsomâmockingly dubbed âNewscumââof overseeing a $130 billion disaster that has delivered nothing but cost overruns and broken promises. Despite decades of work and billions spent, the rail line connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles remains incomplete and years behind schedule. Trump praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for ensuring that not âa single pennyâ more will be wasted on the project. The move not only highlights Trumpâs disdain for the project but also signals a political jab at one of his most prominent Democratic rivals. With this announcement, Trump rallies fiscal conservatives and taxpayers, painting himself as the guardian of their wallets against Californiaâs âboondoggle.â

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators.
The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd.
The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States.

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel.
In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots.
The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday.

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vesselsâincluding the Magic Seasâand signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes.
With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond.
