Trump Vows to 'Punch Back Harder' After China’s Tariff Retaliation –White House Signals Tough Stance
In a fiery response to China’s latest tariff hikes, former President Donald Trump’s trade team isn’t backing down.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt says Trump remains “optimistic” about reaching a deal with Beijing, but warns that retaliation won’t end well for China.
A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

Just months after a tense Oval Office clash that ended in a shouting match, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky struck a surprisingly cooperative tone in their latest White House meeting. Zelensky, criticized earlier for his military-style attire, appeared in a suit jacket, signaling a diplomatic gesture while keeping his wartime identity. This softer approach set the stage for lighthearted exchanges with Trump and multilateral talks joined by European leaders. Discussions centered on a potential peace deal with Russia, with Trump pushing for trilateral negotiations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented Donald Trump with a personal letter from Ukraine’s first lady to Melania Trump, drawing light chuckles during the exchange. The gesture comes after Melania Trump recently sent Russian President Vladimir Putin a handwritten message urging him to protect children and preserve hope for future generations. Trump praised his wife’s compassion, noting her “great love of children” and sorrow at the ongoing devastation. The symbolic exchange highlights how personal diplomacy intertwines with the human cost of war in Ukraine.

Trump reportedly shoved a map of Ukraine across the table toward President Zelensky, demanding territorial concessions to fast-track a peace deal with Russia. Sources say the map outlined regions Trump believes Ukraine should give up, including Crimea and parts of the Donbas. The move stunned EU leaders in the room and visibly angered Zelensky, escalating tensions during what was already a high-stakes summit on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war.

As Donald Trump pushes for a three-way peace meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron is calling for Europe to be included. Macron argues that security guarantees for Ukraine also affect the entire continent. While Trump seems unlikely to welcome the idea soon, the debate highlights the high stakes for not only Ukraine but also Europe’s security. The talks could shape the trajectory of the war and the balance of power across the region.

President Trump is under fire for controversial comments about press secretary Karoline Leavitt, praising her more for her appearance than her performance. In a live Newsmax interview, Trump remarked on her “face,” “brain,” and “lips,” calling her a “machine gun” speaker and a “star.” The internet quickly reacted, labeling the comments “creepy” and “inappropriate.” Leavitt, a central figure in Trump’s 2024 media push, has yet to respond. The moment has reignited debates around professionalism, gender, and Trump’s rhetoric.

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

In a jaw-dropping moment at the White House summit, President Trump publicly humiliated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by flatly rejecting any future U.S. financial aid — declaring that Ukraine must now buy weapons instead of receiving support. While Zelensky reportedly made a passionate appeal for continued American backing, Trump stunned allies by drawing a hard line, contrasting his approach with Biden’s past $300 billion in aid.
