A year of high-stakes politics and crises: Key highlights from 2024
Monday, 30 December 2024 Reflecting on significant global events of 2024: a devastating tsunami hit Japan, the EU approved an AI regulation, Narendra Modi secured a third term, Donald Trump returned to the White House despite assassination attempts, Syrian rebels ended Bashar al-Assad's rule, and the UK saw Labour topple Conservatives.
In a bold response to escalating U.S. tariffs, China has ordered its airlines to suspend all deliveries of Boeing aircraft. The move, reported by Bloomberg, intensifies the trade war under President Trump’s administration and signals deeper economic retaliation from Beijing. U.S. aviation and tech sectors may feel the ripple effects soon.

President Donald Trump has launched his first-ever direct attack on Chinese President Xi Jinping, accusing him of using his Vietnam visit to "screw" the United States. Trump’s remarks come amidst the escalating tariff war with China, where he warned that the trade conflict might have far-reaching consequences for the U.S. Despite announcing a massive 145% tariff on Chinese goods, Trump is framing Xi’s trip as part of Beijing’s broader strategy to weaken U.S. interests globally. As tensions mount, experts predict that the war on tariffs could set the stage for a world-changing economic standoff.

During a high-stakes White House meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump publicly insulted CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, calling her a “low-rated anchor” as she pressed him on the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Trump mocked both Collins and CNN, claiming the network “hates our country” and “hides border data.” While Collins stayed firm, demanding accountability, Trump pivoted to attacking the media again—reviving his long-running feud. Bukele praised Trump’s border policy but sidestepped questions on returning Garcia. The moment highlights Trump’s ongoing war with the press.

Kremlin confirmed ongoing U.S.-Russia talks on Ukraine peace, despite Donald Trump's frustration with Vladimir Putin. Trump, angered by Putin's criticism of Ukraine's leader, warned of imposing secondary tariffs on Russian oil. Meanwhile, Russia expressed interest in rare earth projects with the U.S. The possibility of a Trump-Putin call remains open, as Trump insists on an end to the war, while global markets brace for potential impacts of the threatened sanctions.

A Tory minister has urged the Welsh Government to reconsider its requirements around steel as the UK Government races to avert the shutdown of Britain's last primary steelmaking plant.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the Conservative leader is wrong to say she had negotiated a modernisation plan with British Steel for electric arc furnaces at Teesside and Scunthorpe. Ms Badenoch posted on X on Friday saying as business secretary in the last Conservative government she had negotiated the proposal, but it was "bungled" by Labour. After intervening, Ms Badenoch says: "Labour cannot negotiate. We were negotiating a modernisation deal that would have had limited job losses, just like we had in Port Talbot”. Report by Blairm.

President Trump has frozen over $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard University after it rejected White House demands targeting antisemitism on campus. The university refused sweeping changes that included federal oversight of governance, hiring, and admissions. Harvard's president argued the demands violated its independence and constitutional rights. The Biden-era push to enforce federal control through funding threatens academic autonomy. Harvard is the first to resist—while others like Columbia have already complied under pressure. Lawsuits are mounting as campus arrests intensify over pro-Palestinian protests nationwide.
