Chinese Diplomat Mocks Trump’s Press Secretary For Wearing Chinese Dress Amid US-China Trade War

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sparked controversy after Chinese diplomat Zhang Zhishen claimed her red lace dress was made in China.

Amid intensifying trade tensions, Zhishen mocked the irony of Leavitt criticizing China while wearing Chinese-made fashion.

The dress, allegedly sourced from a Mabu factory, became symbolic of policy hypocrisy.

Social media exploded with reactions, some accusing Leavitt of double standards while others questioned the dress’s origin.

As China hikes tariffs to 125% in response to Trump’s trade measures, this fashion flap fuels a larger geopolitical debate.

South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.?

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations. Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter. High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance. #TradeWar #SouthAfrica #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #WorldNews #USA #CyrilRamaphosa #USTrade #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #BreakingNews #30PercentTarif Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

“ACT OF GOD?”: Trump Press Sec Blames God for Deadly Texas Flood Question |FEMA Funding in Spotlight

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #ActOfGod #TrumpAdministration #FEMA #NWS #FloodTragedy #BreakingNews #WeatherAlert #NaturalDisaster #WhiteHouse #FloodResponse #DisasterRelief #PublicSafety #TexasNews #EmergencyPreparedness #CampMystic #SearchAndRescue #ClimateCrisis #GuadalupeRiver #TrumpNews #LeavittBacklash #KerrCounty #WeatherWarnings #PoliticalAccountability #PressBriefing #MediaQuestioning #GovernmentResponse #ActOfGodBacklash #FloodPolitics #CrisisInTexas Also Read Trump Administration Directs California to Restrict Trans Girls from Competing in Sports Teams :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-california-trans-girls-sports-011-7783503.html?ref=DMDesc World Pride 2025 Concludes with Rally Emphasising LGBTQ+ Activism Amid Political Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/world-pride-2025-defiant-politics-display-011-4175857.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. “Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #NationalWeatherService #FloodWarnings #DisasterResponse #FakeNewsAlert #PressBriefing #NWSStaffing #TexasEmergency #WhiteHouseResponse #FloodTragedy #WeatherAlert #SanAngeloWeather #SanAntonioFloods #LeavittPressConference #MediaAccountability #FEMAUpdate #BreakingNews #TexasWatch #NWSDefense ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘No Weapons For Ukraine’ Leavitt SLAMS Media For Spreading Fake News On Ukraine Aid | White House

In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage. #WhiteHouseBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #UkraineAid #FakeNewsAlert #GazaWar #BidenMiddleEastPlan #HostageCrisis #IsraelHamasCeasefire #PentagonReview #WeaponAidTruth #USForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #GlobalAid #GazaHostages #RoutineAudit #PressConference #MiddleEastConflict #HamasCeasefire #LeavittFightsBack #UkraineSupport Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure “the best deals for the American people and the American worker.” The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time. #TrumpTrade #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseBriefing #TradeDeal #AmericanJobs #EconomicNationalism #TradeBlitz #12Countries #GlobalEconomy #TrumpPolicy #USForeignPolicy #PresidentialLetters #TradeWar #AmericaFirst #PressConference #LeavittStatement #USTradeUpdate #TrumpMoves #Geopolitics #InternationalTrade ~HT.410~ED.194~
