Trump is considering a visit to China in April to discuss a potential trade deal with President Xi Jinping, SCMP reports. The meeting's location remains undecided, with Trump favoring Mar-a-Lago and Beijing preferring a formal venue. Since January, Trump has doubled tariffs on Chinese imports, prompting retaliatory measures from China. Trade tensions, ongoing since 2018, continue to disrupt global markets. With mounting pressure on both sides, a high-stakes negotiation looms. Will this visit ease tensions or escalate the trade war further?

Pakistan travel ban threat looms as Donald Trump’s administration considers broader restrictions on 41 nations. Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bhutan are among those facing potential US visa suspensions over security concerns. A draft report suggests that Islamabad must address deficiencies within 60 days to avoid partial restrictions. Ten nations, including Iran, North Korea, and Syria, face a full visa suspension. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry dismissed the reports as speculative. Meanwhile, a Pakistani diplomat was recently denied entry into the US, adding tension to the situation.
