VIDEO| Biden Celebrates His Last White House Holiday Season with Turkey Pardons, Tree Lighting
President Joe Biden kicked off his final holiday season in the White House with a mix of cherished traditions and heartfelt moments.
In a festive South Lawn ceremony, he pardoned two turkeys, Peach and Blossom, as part of the Thanksgiving tradition, sharing stories about resilience and gratitude.
The festivities didn’t end there, as the president also lit the National Christmas Tree, officially marking the start of the holiday season.
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.

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structure—some goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now. Trump’s administration has unleashed a historic wave of tariffs, including legacy measures from his first term, Biden-era expansions, and new 2025 hikes. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says it’s open to talks—but not to blackmail.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.

In his first major address since leaving office, Joe Biden took sharp aim at Donald Trump's Social Security policies, accusing the administration of trying to "wreck it so they could rob it." Speaking at the ACRD conference in Chicago, Biden warned of potential delays in benefits, criticized GOP tax priorities, and called for unity amid deep national divisions. He highlighted past Democratic leadership and earned ACRD’s Beacon of Hope Award. The Trump administration hit back on X, denying cuts and accusing Biden of misleading Americans. The 2024 political firestorm has begun.

Hamas’s armed wing, an Israeli hostage—identified by local media as Elkana Bohbot—pleads for help, directly invoking former U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking from captivity in Gaza, Bohbot begs a friend to take his wife to the White House and ask Trump to secure his release. The video, which shows the hostage in a small room speaking on a landline, is the third such clip of him since March. It highlights the deepening psychological warfare in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. While the authenticity of the call remains unverified, the footage has ignited shock and concern, as fears for the hostages' safety intensify amid continued Israeli airstrikes.

After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set.

President Trump may abandon peace talks between Russia and Ukraine within days if no progress is made. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. won’t prolong discussions without clear signs of a breakthrough. Following high-level meetings in Paris, the White House is growing frustrated with stalled negotiations. Trump, who has personally invested in the process, is also eyeing a new mineral deal with Kyiv after a failed attempt in February. A complete U.S. withdrawal could collapse global peace efforts as no other nation holds the same influence.
