Trump's Secret Chats EXPOSED! Judge Orders ‘DO NOT DELETE’ Amid Explosive Houthi Attack Revelations!

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 Delays TikTok Deal, Dangles It Over China Tariffs | “We’ll Wait Till..”— Trade War Chess Match

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?
