President Donald Trump took aim at Chinese leader Xi Jinping as he hosted foreign leaders at a major military parade in Beijing, a reminder of the lingering tensions between the two sides over trade, tech and other issues.

“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America,” Trump said on his Truth Social site, referring to the leaders of Russia and North Korea, without elaborating.

Trump Accuses Xi of ‘Conspiring Against US’; Poland's President Visits DC

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Xi Jinping used a mix of bonhomie and economic allure this week to send Donald Trump a clear message: Beijing has too much global clout to be dictated by the US.

Cameras captured the Chinese leader in a rare, unscripted huddle on Monday with Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi — his most powerful partners in resisting America on the world stage — at a summit in the Chinese port city of Tianjin. At one point, Xi held the hand of his Indian counterpart, as the three men laughed casually, a striking scene given just months earlier New Delhi and Beijing were seen as rivals.

The images were a victory for Xi’s decade-long political project to build an alternative to the US-led world order. Hours after the trio gathered at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization event, Beijing signed a major gas pipeline deal with Moscow — rebuking Trump’s efforts to use tariffs to prise India and China away from Russian energy purchases.

China’s Xi Redraws Geopolitical Map

Most of President Donald Trump’s global tariffs were ruled illegal by a federal appeals court that found he exceeded his authority in imposing them, but the judges let the levies stay in place while the case is subject to further review.

The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld an earlier ruling by the Court of International Trade that Trump wrongfully invoked an emergency law to issue the tariffs. But the appellate judges sent the case back to the lower court to determine if it applied to everyone affected by tariffs or just the parties involved in the case.

Friday’s 7-4 decision by the Federal Circuit could extend the suspense over whether Trump’s tariffs will ultimately stand. The case had been expected to next go to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. The administration could now turn to the justices, who have largely backed the president on other matters. But the White House could also let the Court of International Trade revisit the matter first.

“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social shortly after the decision was issued.

Instant Reaction: Trump’s Global Tariffs Found Illegal by US Appeals Court

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s lawyers suggested that an unintentional “clerical error” may have been behind the mortgage dispute over which President Donald Trump wants her fired. 
Cook sued Thursday to block Trump’s “illegal attempt,” saying he’s using a phony pretext that doesn’t amount to sufficient “cause” to remove her from the US central bank. In court papers, her lawyers laid out for the first time a potential defense to allegations that she fraudulently listed homes in Michigan and Georgia as a “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021.

Fed's Lisa Cook Awaits Emergency Ruling

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro cranked up pressure on India to halt its purchases of Russian oil, repeating accusations that New Delhi is funding the Kremlin’s campaign in Ukraine and casting the conflict as “Modi’s war”.

Speaking immediately after the Trump administration doubled tariffs on India to 50% — an effort to secure concessions on trade, while also pressuring Russia — Navarro reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was funding “the war machine.”

“I mean Modi’s war, because the road to peace runs, in part, through New Delhi,” Navarro said Wednesday on Bloomberg Television’s Balance of Power.

Navarro Calls Ukraine ‘Modi’s War’ Over Russian Oil Buying

Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

President Donald Trump imposed a crushing 50% tariff on Indian goods to punish the country for buying Russian oil, upending a decades-long push by Washington to forge closer ties with New Delhi.

The new tariffs, the highest in Asia, took effect at 12:01 a.m. in Washington on Wednesday, doubling the existing 25% duty on Indian exports. The levies will hit more than 55% of goods shipped to the US — India’s biggest market — and hurt labor-intensive industries like textiles and jewelry the most. Key exports like electronics and pharmaceuticals are exempt, sparing Apple Inc.’s massive new factory investments in India for now.

The move marks a sharp deterioration in ties for the two nations and an about-turn in Washington’s strategy over the years to court India as a counterweight to China. Trump has slammed India for buying Russian oil, which he said was funding President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. New Delhi has defended its ties with Russia and has called the US’s actions “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.”

Trump Tests India’s Ties to Russia

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook vowed to fight President Donald Trump’s move to oust her from the central bank following allegations that she falsified mortgage documents.

“His attempt to fire her, based solely on a referral letter, lacks any factual or legal basis. We will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action,” Cook’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement. Previously, Cook said she would “carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”

Cook’s challenge of Trump’s removal effort throws the future of the central bank’s board into further question after the president’s move Monday night, which represented a dramatic escalation in his battle for more control over monetary policy.

Trump Moves to Oust Fed's Cook

President Donald Trump moved to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her post at the US central bank in the wake of allegations from a White House ally that she falsified documents on mortgage applications.
 
“The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve,” Trump wrote in a letter sent to Cook on Monday, which he posted on Truth Social. “In light of your deceitful and possibly criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.”
 
Presidents can remove Fed governors from office, but only for cause. Laws that describe “for cause” generally define the term as encompassing three possibilities: inefficiency; neglect of duty; and malfeasance, meaning wrongdoing, in office.

Instant Reaction: Trump Moves to Fire Fed's Lisa Cook

President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed optimism for close cooperation on North Korea, collective security and shipbuilding, though the US leader downplayed the chances for further concessions on Seoul’s tariff deal.

“We can do big progress with North Korea,” Trump said at the White House on Monday alongside Lee.

The South Korean leader launched a charm offensive on Trump, praising stock-market gains, the gold finishes he added to the Oval Office and his peacekeeping efforts, and asked him to focus on ending tensions on the Korean peninsula. Lee even suggested that Trump could construct an eponymous tower in North Korea if peace is made.

Still, Trump indicated that the agreement for a 15% tariff on South Korean imports would likely stick as-is, as they hash out unresolved details on the deal.

“I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s OK, I don’t mind that. That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind,” the US president said.
