US and China agree to slash tariffs temporarily after trade talks

By Emily Crane and Diana Glebova | New York Post The United States and China agreed Monday to a 90-day truce in their raging trade war — with each agreeing for now to slash reciprocal tariffs by more than 100 percentage points, bringing China’s duty rate down to just 10%. Under the agreement, the US will drop its 145% tariff rate on most Chinese goods to 30%, while China will lower its rate to 10% from 125%, officials said.   The agreement also includes a mechanism for talks toward a permanent deal to continue — and the two sides spoke about how they will both address the flow of fentanyl from China to the US, a White House readout of the agreement read. At the White House Monday, President Trump confirmed that 25% tariffs on cars, steel and aluminum re...

US stepping back from peace talks role to end war between Russia and Ukraine: State Department official

By Patrick Reilly | New York Post The US is stepping back from its involvement in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine to end the war, a State Department official signaled Thursday. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters that the US “will not be the mediators” going forward, reflecting President Trump’s frustration at the lack of progress between Kyiv and Moscow in ending the bloodshed. “We are not going to fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings,” she said, adding that the US remains committed to helping reach a deal.

Dem congressman calling for Trump’s impeachment once accused of indescribable act involving 118 beagles in his pharmaceutical lab

By Emily Crane | New York Post What a hound. A Democratic congressman who is currently trying to impeach President Trump was once accused of abandoning 118 beagles inside his pharmaceutical testing lab when it went bankrupt. Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), who announced Monday he had filed seven articles of impeachment against Trump, was forced to shutter the New Jersey lab, AniClin Preclinical Services, when the parent company that he owned filed for bankruptcy in April 2010. Several months later, animal activists became aware that the hounds were still stuck inside the since-abandoned facility, HuffPost reported at the time. Lab workers had allegedly been jumping the facility’s fences to give the beagles food and water.The scores of dogs were eventually rescued fro...

Trump mortifies ABC News reporter with scathing remark on why he was picked for highly sought interview

By Nicholas McEntyre | New York Post President Trump humiliated ABC’s Terry Moran by revealing why he picked him for “the break of a lifetime” in getting to interview him on his 100th day in office. The commander-in-chief put the senior national correspondent in his place during a tense exchange in which Moran challenged him about suspected MS-13 tattoos on deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.

Feds bust Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping illegal migrant accused of punching victim 30 times evade ICE agents

By Emily Crane and Samuel Chamberlain | New York Post A veteran Wisconsin judge was arrested Friday on charges of helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in her courtroom.

Dugan appeared briefly in Milwaukee federal court Friday morning before being released after prosecutors said they would not ask for her detention before trial. Her arraignment has been set for May 15. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Trump vows ‘there will be a trade deal, 100%’ with Europe as Italy PM Georgia Meloni visits White House

By Diana Glebova | New York Post President Trump expressed optimism Thursday that the US and European Union can reach a trade deal as he welcomed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to the White House. Meloni, 48, was the first European leader to meet with Trump, 78, since he announced last week that his “Liberation Day” suite of reciprocal tariffs would be paused for 90 days. “I’m sure we can make a deal, and I am here to help with that,” Meloni, dressed in all white, told Trump ahead of lunch in the Cabinet Room. “I cannot lock this deal in the name of the European Union,” she added. “My goal would be to invite President Trump to pay an official visit to Italy and understand if there’s a possibility when it comes to organize also such a meeting with...

US stocks fall after China slaps 125% tariff on US imports, escalating trade war

By Taylor Herzlich | New York Post US stocks fell on Friday as China struck back at President Trump’s latest tariff with a total 125% tax — further escalating trade tensions between the two nations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 254 points, or 0.6%, after plummeting 1,014.79 the day before. The index has been on a wild ride over the past week as markets struggle to absorb back-and-forth trade war news, plunging more than 4,000 points after Trump revealed his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs last Wednesday, then recovering more than 1,500 points this week after he announced a 90-day pause on most of his harsher tariffs.

Elon Musk’s DOGE discovers millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for ‘fake people’

By Patrick Reilly | New York Post Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed in a bombshell finding that millions of dollars in unemployment claims have been going to “fake people” who haven’t even been born yet — some not even in this century. DOGE claimed it reviewed an initial survey of unemployment claims since 2020 that found that 9,700 people whose birth dates aren’t for another 15 years have claimed $69 million in benefits. In one absurd case, a person whose birthday was listed in the year 2154 claimed $41,000, according to an X post by the department. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reveals 50 nations reached out to negotiate tariffs, warns ‘there is no postponing’

By Ronny Reyes | New York Post Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said about 50 nations have reached out to the US to discuss President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, though he said nothing will stop the levies from going forward. Defending the president’s economic plan on Sunday, Lutnick said the calls from foreign officials prove that “these countries know that they’ve been ripping us off,” suggesting there was no room for negotiations. “There is no postponing,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They are definitely going to stay in place for days and weeks.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST
