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

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? And where does this leave TikTok’s 170 million American users? #Trump #ChinaTariffs #TikTokBan #TradeWar #ByteDance #USChina #TrumpTikTok #TikTokDeal #Geopolitics #TechNews #TrumpNews #GlobalEconomy #TariffBattle #TikTokUSA #WhiteHouse Also Read Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Iran: Strike A Nuclear Deal In Two Months Or Face Unprecedented Bombing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-iran-strike-a-nuclear-deal-in-two-months-or-face-unprecedented-bombing-4109797.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~ED.194~GR.344~HT.410~

12 States SUE Trump Over ‘Illegal’ Tariffs | Lawsuit Claims IEEPA Misused To Impose Tariffs

Twelve U.S. states, led by New York, are suing President Trump over his sweeping tariff policies, arguing he violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress. The lawsuit challenges his use of the International Emergency Powers Act to justify tariffs on goods from China, Mexico, and more. The White House calls it a political stunt and vows to fight back. As Trump defends the tariffs as tools against illegal migration and trade deficits, legal experts warn of a dangerous precedent that could reshape executive power. #TrumpTariffs #USPolitics #TradeWar #LegalBattle #TariffLawsuit #StatesVsTrump #InternationalTrade #EmergencyPowers #IEEPA #ConstitutionalCrisis #NewYorkAG #WhiteHouse #EconomicPolicy #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #CongressVsPresident #TradeTensions #GlobalTrade #USChinaRelations #MexicoTariffs #CanadaTrade #LegalNews #PresidentialPowers #TariffFight #TariffBacklash #Trump2025 #PoliticalDrama #FentanylCrisis #ImmigrationPolicy #ExecutiveOverreach Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Singapore PM's Chilling Message To Donald Trump Over Tariff War Goes Viral | Warns Of Armed Conflict

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong issued a grave warning on the global repercussions of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff escalation. In a video address, Wong expressed concern that trade wars could escalate into full-blown armed conflicts if unchecked. He confirmed that Singapore has been directly impacted by a 10% tariff imposed by Washington on its exports. The move, part of Trump’s wider “America First” economic retaliation strategy, is drawing concern from trade-reliant nations across Asia. Wong urged global leaders to act fast to protect multilateral trade and peace. #TradeWars #TrumpTariffs #SingaporePM #LawrenceWong #GlobalConflict #USChinaTrade #TariffWar #SingaporeExports #TrumpEconomy #FreeTrade #WorldTrade #Geopolitics #AsiaPacific #TariffTensions #TrumpVsWorld #EconomicShockwaves #Protectionism #GlobalTradeCrisis #AmericaFirst #TradePeaceNow Also Read India and Singapore Can Demonstrate Effective Trust-Building in Today's Global Economy :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-singapore-building-trust-global-economy-011-4046309.html?ref=DMDesc India and Singapore Collaborate on Renewable Energy Corridor and Financial Data Exchange :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-singapore-renewable-energy-corridor-011-4044541.html?ref=DMDesc Singapore Authorities Detain Three Self-Radicalised Men Planning Armed Violence Overseas Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/singapore-authorities-detain-three-self-radicalised-men-planning-violence-011-4038413.html?ref=DMDesc
