On January 30, officials from the United States
and China met to discuss a joint effort to take action
on stemming the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
'TIME' reports that the meeting comes as a sign
of cooperation between the two global powers
to manage the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
The new counternarcotics working group met for
their first two-day meeting, focusing on ingredients
for the synthetic opioid that are manufactured in China.
In November of 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed
to resume cooperation on combating drug trafficking in a
meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden in San Francisco.

The U.S. is looking for China to increase efforts
to curb the export of chemicals that are processed
into fentanyl before being smuggled into the U.S.
'TIME' reports that synthetic opioids like
fentanyl have emerged as the deadliest
killers in the ongoing U.S. drug crisis.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, over 100,000 deaths
were linked to drug overdoses in 2022.
Over two-thirds of those overdoses were linked
with fentanyl or other similar synthetic opioids.
In exchange for cooperation on combating the flow of
fentanyl, the U.S. agreed to lift sanctions imposed on
China in 2020 over human rights violations against Uyghurs.

According to State Department spokesperson

willing to do on the trafficking of fentanyl precursors
US President Donald Trump is reportedly shutting down all informal diplomatic channels with China, insisting on direct talks with President Xi Jinping as the US-China trade war deepens. According to Politico, Trump has not authorized White House delegates, hasn’t appointed a lead diplomat, and bypassed the Chinese embassy entirely. With tariffs soaring—145% on Chinese goods and 125% retaliation from Beijing—Trump is said to be using tariff negotiations to pressure allies into isolating China further. Beijing has warned it will retaliate against any such moves made at its expense.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

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.

As the U.S. slaps 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, President Xi Jinping touches down in Hanoi — and the world takes notice. In a high-stakes diplomatic mission, Xi kicks off his Southeast Asia tour by strengthening economic and strategic ties with Vietnam. With 40 potential deals on the table — from supply chains and rail infrastructure to artificial intelligence and aviation — China and Vietnam are signaling a major shift in regional dynamics. Meanwhile, Vietnam walks a delicate line: negotiating tariff relief from Washington while tightening controls on Chinese goods to avoid rule-of-origin fraud. Is Vietnam aligning with Beijing, or playing both sides in a new global power game? This video unpacks the trade tensions, diplomatic signals, and what Xi's visit could mean for the balance of power in Asia — and beyond.

In what’s shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City — and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience. While the Vatican has yet to release official details, past papal funerals, like that of Pope John Paul II, give insight into the protocol and seating hierarchy. With over 130 country delegations and several monarchs in attendance, this funeral will not only be a spiritual event but also a powerful display of global diplomacy — and underlying political tension.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third row—behind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement “humiliating,” especially after Trump had mocked Biden’s 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trump’s past remarks.

At the White House Easter Egg Roll, U.S. President Donald Trump took a light-hearted jab at President Joe Biden, referencing the viral 2022 moment when a staffer in an Easter Bunny costume interrupted Biden mid-sentence. While addressing the crowd, Trump praised Pope Francis for his recent Easter message, combining solemnity with satire. The crowd responded with laughter as Trump said, “At least this year, no bunny is jumping in to save the moment.” The playful remark has since gained traction online, sparking both amusement and debate.

The White House has issued a clarification on the controversial 245% tariff against China, detailing which goods will face the highest import taxes. This unprecedented wave of tariffs—ranging from 145% to 245%—includes legacy measures from Trump’s first term, as well as Biden-era expansions and new 2025 levies. Chinese goods like needles, syringes, lithium batteries, and sweaters are among the hardest hit. China responded firmly, warning the U.S. against threats and calling for mutual benefit in trade talks. The new tariffs mark a critical escalation in the ongoing trade war.

Trump's recent executive order terminating federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei) programs has led to a significant reduction in corporate sponsorships for San Francisco's LGBTQ pride event. Major companies, aiming to align with the new federal stance, have withdrawn approximately $300,000 in funding, raising concerns about the future of such events and the broader implications for LGBTQ+ rights nationwide.

The U.S. and Russia will hold the next round of diplomatic talks in Istanbul on April 10, focusing solely on stabilizing embassy operations. The U.S. State Department confirmed Ukraine will “absolutely not” be on the agenda. The discussions follow earlier rounds in Riyadh and Istanbul under the Trump administration's push to reset ties with Moscow. Despite continuing geopolitical tensions, both sides are aiming to address diplomatic staffing, property restrictions, and flight operations. Russia will be represented by Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev, while the U.S. delegation will be led by Sonata Coulter.

The U.S. has revoked all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and halted future issuances, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday. The decision follows Juba’s alleged refusal to accept deported nationals. The State Department criticized South Sudan’s transitional government for “taking advantage” of U.S. leniency. The move comes amid worsening instability in South Sudan, which faces mass displacement and food crises. The Biden administration says visa restrictions will remain until full cooperation is ensured. South Sudan’s Foreign Ministry and the UN have not responded to requests for comment.
