Trump's Secret Chats EXPOSED! A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to preserve explosive Signal chat messages detailing US airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. The controversy erupted after an Atlantic journalist was accidentally added to a group chat where top officials—including VP JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—discussed military plans. Reports revealed that the messages were set to auto-delete, sparking legal action by nonprofit watchdog American Oversight, which accused the administration of bypassing federal transparency laws. Trump dismissed the scandal as a "witch-hunt," but the court’s ruling ensures the messages remain intact.

U.S. President Donald Trump has thrown a wrench into the TikTok deal once again, signaling that the fate of the wildly popular app now depends on the outcome of ongoing U.S.-China trade negotiations. While markets reel from tit-for-tat tariff hikes, Trump says he doesn’t want tariffs to “go higher” — but won’t back down unless China plays ball. With 145% tariffs already imposed on Chinese imports and Beijing refusing to play the "numbers game," is this the end of the trade war—or just the beginning of something bigger? And where does this leave TikTok’s 170 million American users?

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.
