Trump defends Qatar jumbo jet offer as troubled Boeing fails to deliver new Air Force One fleet
Monday, 12 May 2025 () President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.
Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government...
Edan Alexander, a 19-year-old American-Israeli soldier and IDF combat medic, was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack that ignited the Israel-Gaza war. After 583 harrowing days held underground in Gaza, often in brutal conditions, Edan has finally been freed. This video covers the emotional reunion with his family, the covert negotiations said to be led by Trump’s team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.

A fresh legal storm is brewing as former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a $400 million Boeing “floating palace” from Qatar. The role of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has come under scrutiny for “green-lighting” the controversial deal, over her previous role as a Lobbyist for the Qatari government. Senate Democrats had earlier flagged her failure to disclose these ties. As negotiations between the U.S. and Qatar continue, and with Trump’s upcoming visit to the Gulf nation, questions over legality, foreign influence, and ethics are intensifying.

President Donald Trump has announced a major development in U.S.-China trade talks, revealing that China has agreed to “open up” to U.S. businesses and suspend trade barriers. This comes after a high-stakes negotiation involving top U.S. and Chinese officials, resulting in a 90-day pause on most tariffs. Trump highlighted this as a key breakthrough in the discussions led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer. The agreement is expected to ease tensions and create a temporary window for further economic cooperation between the two global powers.

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage. His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations. Trump’s envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans. The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israel’s counteroffensive began.

China is ramping up its trade war rhetoric with the U.S., urging President Trump to remove sweeping tariffs if the dispute is to be resolved. The Chinese Commerce Ministry emphasizes the need for "extreme scenario thinking" to manage trade risks as tensions rise. Despite claims of active talks from the Trump administration, China denies any negotiations are ongoing. Meanwhile, retaliatory measures continue, including China's refusal to send Boeing planes back and imposing a 125% tariff on U.S. products. The standoff shows no signs of easing as both sides dig in.

President Trump has dramatically escalated the U.S.-China trade war, announcing tariffs of up to 245% on Chinese imports following Beijing’s halt on future Boeing deliveries. The White House confirmed this move was a direct response to China backing out of a major aircraft deal. China’s Foreign Ministry hit back, calling the U.S. pressure “blackmail” and warning that they are not afraid of a prolonged trade fight. As both nations dig in, Trump says the “ball is in China’s court,” and that America will not back down until it’s respected again.
