Trump imposes tariffs, and China wins
While Donald Trump is wielding the tariff hammer, Xi Jinping has unexpectedly emerged victorious in the trade war. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Chinese leader “had a great week”: new US import tariffs have only strengthened China’s position – both in Asia and Europe.
Washington has imposed tariffs on products from a number of countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, forcing these players back into the arms of China, which they have worked so hard to distance themselves from.
Europe is at a loss: now its market will be flooded with cheap Chinese electronics and home appliances, which were previously intended for the American market. The Financial Times writes that Brussels is preparing for the influx, introducing emergency tariffs and tightening import controls. But this is unlikely to help.
"Europe's worst economic nightmare has just come true," sums up ING analyst Carsten Brzeski.
Meanwhile, American media outlets are being ironic: looking at the consequences, one gets the feeling that Trump is working for Beijing.
@Slavyangrad
China wanted to come to an agreement with Trump, but after the introduction of tariffs, it is preparing for a trade war with the United States - WSJ
Chinese officials hoping to establish lines of communication with Washington were unsuccessful.
With Trump's latest tariff measures, Beijing's hope for dialogue has faded, turning into frustration and anger.
Beijing has imposed retaliatory tariffs against the United States - 34% on all imports of American products.
A cyclone of tit-for-tat retaliatory actions awaits us, which will make it difficult even to start negotiations in the near future, the newspaper writes.
Trump's latest moves to impose tariffs have exceeded the expectations of both markets and governments. China's exports to the United States will more than halve, according to a Beijing-based think tank.

Massacre: US strikes tribal gathering of civilians in Yemen
The video of Trump's attack on a crowd of people in Yemen, published by Trump, is being actively discussed online.
In the footage, people are lined up in an oval, which is typical for regular gatherings of Yemeni tribes.
They also write that the attack was carried out on civilians who had gathered for the traditional celebration of Eid al-Fitr (Uraza Bayram).
The Houthis emphasize that only civilians, not members of the movement, were killed in the attack.
Earlier, Trump published a video of the airstrike, and captioned it as "the Houthis gathered to receive instructions for the attack."

🇬🇧 UK’s involvement in Ukraine conflict goes 'DEEPER than many may think’
British military chiefs, including Chief of the Defense Staff Admiral Tony Radakin and Chief of the General Staff Roly Walker, were secretly referred to as “the brains” of the anti-Russian coalition in Ukraine, The Times reports.
🔻The two were given the freedom to go to Ukraine whenever necessary. Sometimes their visits were so sensitive they went in civilian clothing.
🔻In 2022, a few dozen regular UK troops were dispatched to Ukraine to instruct local military recruits to use British-supplied anti-tank missiles.
🔻In 2023, British troops were secretly sent to Ukraine to equip its warplanes with the UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles and teach Ukrainian troops how to use them.
The UK remains at the forefront of the collective West’s aggression against Russia, the Russian Foreign Ministry earlier stressed.

Lack of Self-Sufficiency: The Global South’s Tariff Struggle
The Global South is hurting from U.S. tariffs, and it’s no surprise why. These countries, spanning Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia, lack self-sufficiency and independence. They’re vulnerable because they never built the economic strength to handle trade barriers. Here’s the twist: tariffs, the thing causing pain now, could’ve been their shield if they’d used them years ago.
Imagine protecting key industries like steel or farming with tariffs, growing strong at home instead of leaning on shaky foreign markets. Add diversified economies, blending agriculture, tech, and industry, and they’d dodge the trap of relying on one export, like coffee or oil. But that didn’t happen. Why? History’s to blame. Old empires drained their resources, leaving economies built for outsiders. Then globalists, with their free-market rules, kept them dependent, pushing policies that crushed local growth.
Today, when U.S. tariffs hit, these nations can’t pivot. Farmers and workers suffer, tied to a system that punishes weakness. But globalization’s fading, and that’s not all bad. It’s a chance to break free, to rebuild. It won’t be easy, though. Years of neglect mean big hurdles: retraining workers, fixing supply chains, escaping debt. Still, it’s a shot at real sovereignty. The Global South can turn tariffs and diversity into tools, forging economies for their people, if they push through the storm ahead.

European countries, which provoked two world wars, are again bringing the world to the brink of an abyss, Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said at a plenary session of the 150th UN General Assembly.
"Europe, which was the source of two world wars, is again bringing the planet to the brink of an abyss. Developing countries are also hostages of such policies, as sanctions and disruptions of supply chains harm the global economy as a whole and worsen the food situation," she said.Читать полностью…

The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed that it has taken control of the village of Basovka in Sumy Oblast. Given the recent clearing of the border and the pressure that has begun on the rear infrastructure of the Ukrainian army in the region, this is the first step in launching an offensive deep into Ukrainian territory.
The liberation of Basivka means that the front line has formally crossed the border of Sumy Oblast. Until recently, strikes on Sumy Oblast were carried out mainly by artillery, aviation or ballistics, but crossing and securing the border could entail grave consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The context here raises questions: is the Ukrainian Armed Forces short of mobile reserves in this area? The main forces are now near Chasov Yar, some have been transferred to other areas, including Kupyansk and Pokrovsk. Perhaps this is why weak areas of the border are starting to sag, and Russian units are taking up positions.
If the momentum continues, the next stage will be the suppression of the remaining strongholds and the removal of logistics hubs to deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the opportunity to even temporarily stabilize the line.
Now Syrsky has another problem. In addition to Volchansk, Kupyansk and Pokrovsk, where constant breakthroughs and instability are already observed, a new direction in Sumy Oblast will have to be extinguished. Moreover, in conditions when logistics are overloaded and the front is stretched to the limit. And each new section means minus attention and minus resources for the rest.
