US- China Trade War: Trump Shuts Doors on Diplomacy, Demands Face-Off With Xi Amid Trade War Heat

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. #Trump #XiJinping #USChinaTensions #TradeWar #ChinaTariffs #TrumpTradePolicy #XiJinpingNews #PoliticoReport #ChinaRetaliation #USPolitics #DiplomaticStandoff #GlobalTrade #TariffBattle #BreakingNews #TrumpXiTalks #ChinaEmbassy #USChinaRelations #BackchannelBlocked #Geopolitics #EconomicWar Also Read 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 New Satellite Images Reveal China’s Growing Nuclear Submarine Fleet Near Qingdao :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-satellite-images-reveal-china-s-growing-nuclear-submarine-fleet-near-qingdao-4126257.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Harvard University Lawsuit Challenges Trump Funding Freeze, Calls $2.2B Block ‘Unlawful’ | Details

Harvard University lawsuit targets the Trump administration over a federal funding freeze exceeding $2.2 billion. The prestigious institution has taken legal action in Massachusetts federal court, calling the move "unlawful" and an attack on academic independence. Trump’s government alleges campus antisemitism and is pushing universities to meet ideological demands. Harvard argues the funding block is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment. Other elite universities are also under pressure, but none have taken as bold a stance.

Trump’s new tantrum | Truckers must prove proficiency in English language

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order mandating that all truck drivers operating within the United States must demonstrate English language proficiency. The administration argues that this step is crucial to road safety, regulatory compliance, and national security. The order will require truckers to pass a language test — failure to do so may result in being placed out of service. However, Sikh advocacy groups have raised alarms, warning of potential discriminatory impacts on Sikh and other immigrant drivers. Is this a legitimate safety measure, or is it a policy wrapped in exclusion? #TrumpExecutiveOrder #TruckersEnglishRule #USATruckingPolicy #KarolineLeavitt #RoadSafety #TruckersRights #ImmigrantTruckers #SikhTruckers #TrumpNews #EnglishMandate #TruckingIndustry #DOTRegulations #TruckDriversUSA #BreakingNews #USPolitics #LanguagePolicy #SikhAdvocacy #PublicSafety #ExecutiveOrder #TruckerBan

Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian exports—and his shocking “51st state” remark—sparked outrage across Canada, transforming the 2025 federal election overnight.
