'We are ready to respond': Trade war fears reignite as Europe strikes back at Trump's threat
Saturday, 24 May 2025 () Fears of a US-EU trade war have been reignited after Europe refused to back down in the face of fresh threats from Donald Trump.
In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander.
The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation.

Harvard University has sued the Trump administration over its decision to block the enrollment of international students. In a federal lawsuit filed in Boston, Harvard calls the move unconstitutional retaliation for defying political pressure. The school warns the action would devastate its global student body, which includes nearly 6,800 students from over 100 countries. The Department of Homeland Security accused Harvard of allowing anti-American behavior and alleged ties to China. Harvard seeks a restraining order while vowing to protect its core values and respond to allegations later.
