President Trump: Xi Jinping ‘Wants Me to Go to’ China ‘We’ll Most Likely Be Going’ and Maybe This Year 🇨🇳 Trump on China: ‘We Want to Have Them Open Up’

"U.S. President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively Monday that Chinese president Xi Jinping has been clamoring for a meeting in-person with him soon, and that may happen as soon as sometime this year, either in China or at the White House in the United

States.
Trump told Breitbart News he would be willing to meet with Xi, whom he has long had a cordial personal relationship with despite rising tensions between the U.S. and China, if Xi so desires and wants such a meeting. Therein lies the important point here though—Trump is saying that it’s Xi and the Chinese who cannot stand the pressure he’s bringing on trade and that Trump is in no rush to accommodate them. In other words, Trump has all the leverage right now, and the dealmaker-in-chief who just cut several other massive trade deals knows it.

Highway in Guangdong China Vanishes Mid Storm — Cars Fall Into Earth Cracks

"It was just another rainy morning in Guangdong. But by 10:17 AM… part of the earth opened up — and swallowed an entire highway. Cars, families, trucks — all gone in seconds.

No explosion. No warning. Just… silence. A split in the road, a vanishing act mid-storm —

and no one saw it coming. Dashcams went dark mid-frame. One moment: taillights in the rain. The next: headlights blinking from the edge of nothing. The collapse happened near the northern bend of the S12 expressway — a route used daily by commuters, cargo vans, and school buses. Now, a 300-meter stretch of that road has vanished without a trace. And beneath it… a pit so deep that rescue teams still can’t reach the bottom. The storm hasn’t stopped. The cracks are spreading.

‘Zelensky Is the Devil’: Second Day of Protests Intensify in Ukraine for Independent Anti-Corruption Agencies – Foreign Allies Start to Turn on Kiev Regime’s Leader

"For a second day, street protests were held in Kiev and many other cities, targeting Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and his decision to defang the independent anti-corruption agencies and subordinate them to his own Prosecutor General – at a moment where people

The Financial Times reported that ‘The rush [to approve and sing into law the controversial Bill No. 12414] appears to have been sparked by investigations into members of Zelensky’s circle’.
With all the world’s attention focused on the unprecedented protests, Zelensky can’t have his thugs open fire in the crowd to disperse them, so he appears to be either caving to the pressure, or else trying to appear to do so to deflate the movement.
On the other side of the Atlantic, even major warmonger Senator Lindsay Graham torched Zelensky for cutting the powers of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies.

U.S. Military Kills Senior ISIS Leader, Two Sons, in Early-Morning Raid in Syria

"America’s hunt for leaders who hope to revive the Islamic State led to the deaths of three people in Syria on Friday.

“Early this morning in al Bab, Aleppo Governate, Syria, CENTCOM Forces conducted a raid resulting in the death of senior ISIS Leader, Dhiya’ Zawba Muslih al-Hardani, and his two adult ISIS-affiliated sons, Abdallah Dhiya al-Hardani and Abd al-Rahman Dhiya Zawba al-Hardani,” U.S. Central Command posted on social media platform X.
Colin P. Clarke, a counterterrorism analyst at the Soufan Group, said highlighting the raid “makes sense, as the U.S. may be eager to highlight the anti-ISIS fight, in partnership with Turkey and Syria, particularly the latter, in an effort to show the lengths Damascus is going to in order to make tangible changes and accede to U.S. demands.”
