  • FAA finds safety concerns at Las Vegas airport in review

    A passenger jet from Washington DC and an army helicopter, a federal review of helicopter protection around some US airports that were persuaded by a deadly middle clash in January in the publication of dangerous flying at Las Vegas Airport.

    The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday that the possibility of collision between aircraft tours helicopters and aircraft at Harry Red International Airport had led to instant changes to the agency. In the first three weeks after the implementation, the number of clashes for aircraft has decreased by 30%.

    FAA said after the collision between the American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter in January, 67 67 people were killed that Boston, Baltimor-Washington, Detroit, Detroit, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal, Dal. The millions of reports that have been collected are planned to use artificial intelligence to excavate.

    FAA acting administrator Chris Rocheli also said that after the excavation of agency data, Las Vegas became anxious as the contracts with helicopter operators did not clearly define the need for vertical and lateral separation when helicopters arrived at the airport. And the tower’s air traffic controllers were not providing traffic advice between helicopters and aircraft.

    “We have taken positive control over helicopters and giving quick action with pilots to provide more traffic suggestions,” said Rochheliu. He promised to take additional steps at Las Vegas and other airports where the FAA concerned.

    Clark County Airplane Department spokesman Luke Nimmo has mentioned all the questions about the search to FAA.

    A sightseeing helicopter in New York City killed six people after the Hudson River on April 10, saying the FAA said they were establishing a Rulmeting Committee to develop recommendations to improve commercial aviation tour.

    Former National Transport Protection Board and FAA investigator Jeff Guzeti said the clash warnings for the aircraft were so quickly decreased.

    “It is hard to identify how important the danger is,” he said. “But it is another hole in Swiss cheese that can adjust to other holes and in Washington, DC can cause exactly what happened to the accident”

    He said that the FAA first addressed the Las Vegas Airport with a helicopter and commercial traffic mixture.

    Guzetti added, “I think they will find problems at other airports, but they are probably not the degree they received with it.”

    NTSB former chairman Jim Hall says helicopter has long been in security problems with the industry, describing it in many cases as “to be attracted instead of a safe journey.”

    “Unfortunately in the case of aircraft, it is an accident that draws attention to the regulators’ responsibilities,” he added.

    The mid -January clash near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington was the deadliest aircraft disaster in the United States since the 21st.

    The helicopters have become a key concern, but Rochiliu says the key protection problems remain as an operation and maintenance problem. He said the top causes of the helicopter accident include reduction of control while conducting shortness and hitting an object.

    The FAA has said that a review of security data is closed together with a mixture of different planes and airports to visit the airports.

    The Hollywood Barbank Airport and Van Nuis Airport in the Los Angeles region have emerged as an anxiety because they are 10 miles (16 km) separate. Both the airport serve a broad mix of aircraft and there are approaching and departure paths.

    A spokesman for the Hollywood Barbank Airport mentions the questions in the FAA. Van Nuis Airport did not immediately respond to the comment of an email request.

    “As the safest mode of flying transportation remains, we must always try to make better,” Rochale also said. “We need to identify the trends and get more precise about how we use data and

    Aircraft lawyer Robert Clifford, who represented several families of the DC plane crash, praised the FAA to take steps to further secure helicopter flights.

    “As FAA’s frequent critic I can say that the FAA travel is recognized for taking these steps to protect the public,” he said. “Helicopters are known as the most dangerous and potential unsafe aircraft. FAA’s extra alert can save many lives.”

  • US, global economic outlook worsens in the face of Trump’s tariffs, IMF says

    Washington – In the wake of President Donald Trump’s tariff and uncertainty that they created, the view of the United States and the global economy has worsened significantly, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday.

    The IMF says that according to the global economic outlook, the global economy will increase by only 2.5% this year, its forecast in January will be reduced by 1.5% to the forecast. And in 2026, the world growth will be 3%, the fund is predicted, it is also below the previous 3.3% assumption.

    The US economic growth will come to just 1.5% this year, from its previous forecast to 2.7% and a full percentage point below its expansion of 2021. The IMF does not expect the US recession, though it has increased from 25% to 37% of this year’s response.

    The forecasts are mainly consistent with the expectations of many private sector economists, although some fear that the recession is increasingly likely. JP Morgan’s economists have said that the US downturn is now 605%. The Federal Reserve has also predicted that this year growth will weaken, will rise to 1.7%.

    “We are entering a new era,” said Gaurichas, chief economist of the IMF, “We are entering a new era.”

    The IMF is a 191-national NDING NDO that works to promote economic growth and financial stability and reduce poverty worldwide.

    Gauerinchas said that intense uncertainty around the import tax managed the IMF to take unusual steps to prepare various situations for future growth. Its forecasts were finalized on April 4 after the Trump administration announced the tariff of tariff in about 60 countries with almost 10% tariff.

    These responsibilities were given breaks on April 9 for 90 days. Gurinchas said that the breakfast of the IMF could not change enough because the United States and China have since imposed such steep tariffs on each other.

    The IMF said the uncertainty around the Trump administration’s next move would probably be heavy on the United States and the global economy. Companies can return to investment and expansion to see how trade policies are effective, which can slow down the growth.

    China has also predicted to increase more slowly because of US tariffs. The IMF is now hoping that it will extend 4% this year and down about half the points from its next forecast.

    Although the US economy will probably enjoy a “supply shock” that was obstructed during the epidemic and which increased inflation in 2021 and 2022, Gourichas said that China is expected to decrease with its export decrease.

    IMF forecasts, it will change slightly in China, but inflation in the United States will worse by about 3% by the end of this year.

    The European Union has predicted to grow more slowly, but the hits from tariffs are not so big, as it faces lower tariffs in the United States than China. Also, some hit offsets from the tariff by Germany will be offset by strong government expenditure.

    Economics of 2 27 countries used euro have been predicted to expand this year to 5.7% and the next year to 1.2%, the IMF’s January forecast has dropped by only 0.2% in both years.

    Japan’s growth forecast has been identified as 0.6% this year and later, as of January, as 0.5% and less than 0.2%, respectively.

  • Your clothes are shedding bits of plastic. Here’s what people are doing about it

    Bottles and bags, food wrap and straw. Piping, packaging, toys and trays. Plastic is everywhere – and still some people may be surprised to see how much they really wear.

    A common closet is loaded with plastic, polyester activation, acrylic sweaters, nylon swimsuts and stretch socks are woven – and it spreads the environment nonstop.

    When dressed, washed and kept through the dryer, they cut the plastic fiber pieces. A single burden of laundries can release millions of people that cannot capture them with such small waste water treatment centers. They blow the air on the local waterways attached to the sea. Marine animals eat them and it can go to plastic to larger animals and humans.

    Even natural fabrics spread fibers and contains chemicals that can hang in the environment. Polyester, however, is about two-thirds of the world’s most used fiber and other synthetic fibers worldwide.

    Tuesday Earth Day, when people worldwide think about ways to reduce their influence on the planet.

    “Everyone who dresses and wears Landers is a part of this problem, but anyone who wear this problem and can be part of the Landers’ clothing,” Rachel Z Miller, the founder of the Vermont -based Rosalia project, says, for a clear ocean.

    Simple changes such as to wash the cloth and use cold water instead of heat can help reduce the shades of fibers. The more challenging is that textiles need to be produced and used in a more durable way, Elisa Tonda said in the UN Environment Program. For example, designing clothing that spreads low microfibers and high quality high quality, Tonda, who led the resource and market branches, said.

    Anja Brandon, director of Plastic Policy of Ocean Conservancy, says that less often washing clothes, getting less friction, creating less friction, creating less friction.

    Brandon said, “They wander around and throw things designed for shaking things to remove dirt and spots for ribbons.”

    Miller uses a stain stick in the spot-clin. Both say that when the clothes are washed, they spread less in the whole load to reduce the friction, spread on a short cycle, then hung dry.

    Inspired by the way the coral filters the ocean, Miller Cora discovered the ball, a laundry ball that could be thrown into the wash to cut each other’s clothes. It also holds microfibers. (A portion of the ear goes on the Rosalia project)) Another option is to put synthetic cloth in a washing bag that captures fibers.

    Which cloth is the most shed? Miller said, press a strip of clear packing tape for a garment, then stuck it on white paper to check the fibers, Miller said. The clothing that is loose is woven or knit is woven more flowing in more quantities such as lamb.

    Miller said that people do not need to run out to throw clothes that are more likely to flow. He owns the lamb jacket himself. Instead, he suggested that these national clothing could only be worn inside the house with a layer above or outside, and it is worth thinking twice about acquiring more clothing like this.

    Miller said, “I don’t try to make people feel guilty or terrify because many of these information are very new.” “And so we can simply say, ‘Okay, I got it. How can I be strategic about what I got?”

    Filters can be added to the wash to capture the microfibers. Samsung Electronics Patagonia and Global Conservation Organization Ocean Waice assisted in 2023 in 2023, it is now sold in more than 20 countries for Front-load Washer. Bosh recently launched a microfiber filter in Europe for washer.

    France first adopted a law that the new washing machines sold in the country have a microfiber filter, though the implementation has been delayed.

    In the United States, the attempt to mandate filters in the state has failed. Governor of California. Gavin News gave a bill veto in 2021, saying he was concerned about the expenses for consumers and he wanted to encourage technology to remove the microfibes of waste water, not mandate. In Oregon, State Sen Dev Patterson proposed a bill this year to require microfiber filters in the new washer sold in the state after he arrived in Canada. Patterson said that the bill still does not have enough support but he will continue to try.

    The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers oppose proposals that it is concerned about consumer expenditure and filter effectiveness.

    Some large brands are experimenting with researchers to help researchers understand fiber refusal, including adidas, nike, leafonia and under armor.

    They are established in 2018 for partnership with the UK microfibre consortium in the UK, to provide research and provide solutions to convert the textile production to more than 90 brands, retailers and manufacturers – including fiber breakup reduction.

    About 1,500 clothes have been tested. Kelly Sheridan, chief executive officer of the consortium, said it was not a difficult problem to solve it.

    Patagonia synthetic fiber was top in trying to spread the waste and water, he said that it is not possible to clean microplastics in the environment, it depends on the clothing brand to prevent it in the source.

    It paid for his own research about his clothes involved a decade ago. The company worked to choose clothes and pigs with suppliers and finish their clothing in such a way that reduces shedding. They have cooperated with new filtration technology for washer, textile mills and municipal systems.

    Global Products Vice President Matt Duer says one of their most well -known styles is known as “Better Sweater”, which is transferred from Virgin Polyester to recycling polyester. And in textile mills, there is a pre -east in the factory that can capture the first big shade, he adds.

    Optimistic about the progress of the doer.

    “Not only understands the problem and the opportunity of the problem, but also looking for all the path through the production cycle and the use episode,” he said. “It’s a whole new world than 10 years ago.”

  • Asian shares trade mixed amid investor worries after Wall Street tumble

    Tokyo – Asian shares were trading in the global suspicion of US investment and President Donald Trump’s trade war.

    Trading was cautious in Asia, where the benchmark loses 225 0.3% at 34,174.38. Australia S&P/ASX was virtually unchanged, which was reduced from less than 0.1% to 7,820.20. South Korea’s Copes increased by 0.2% to 2,493.19. Hong Kong’s hanging stands at less than 0.1% at 21,387.51, while Shanghai added 0.3% to 3,301.59.

    On Wall Street on the previous day, S&P500 is submerged 2.4% in the other WIPU. It shakes the index at the center of many 401 (k) accounts at the bottom of 16% below the record sets of two months ago.

    The Doo Jones Industrial Average has declined by 971 points or 2.5%, while Tesla and Nvidia’s damage helped reduce the combination of nasadak by 2.6%.

    The US government’s bonds and US dollars are also submerged as prices are pursuing in US markets. This is an unusual and worrying step because the Histor has been strongly strong during the episodes of treasury and dollar nervousness. This time, though, it is directly from Washington that causes fear and weakens their reputation as some safe investment in the world.

  • South Carolina Senate seek at hearing to remove state treasurer over $1.8B accounting error

    Colombia, SC – South Carolina’s Republican-dominated Senate and its elected Republican Treasurer faced a remarkable hearing on Monday as the senators tried to expel the treasurer from the office due to $ 1.5 billion accounting error.

    The hearing ended with more than two years of investigation in the Senate, when state accountants involuntarily exaggerate the money paid by colleges and universities by $ 3.5 billion.

    It led to the discovery of an account error that began a decade ago when the state changed from an accounting system to another accounting system. If accountants cannot balance the two sets of books into a thousand accounts with different definitions, they are adding it to a special account year after year until it increases up to $ 1.8 billion.

    It was Forensic Accountants, who were paid a few million dollars, eventually exposed to it that almost all of the $ 1.5 billion was not the real meaning, but only a defect.

    The two Republicans have called for Senator Loftis to be expelled from the office, he will no longer believe in operating bank accounts in South Carolina. They complained that he never made mistakes to the lawyers as necessary by the law when he refuses to take accountability.

    Sen. Stephen Goldfingch said, “He is a liar who was so concerned with his public presence that he would do and say something on Cover,” Sen Stephen Goldfingch said.

    The Loftis Senate called the investigation a magical victim. He repeatedly said that no money was missing and the faults were not made in his office, though others have testified separately. The treasurer said that the state threatened the powerful credit rating of the state by continuing to concentrate on mistakes.

    His lawyer Deborah opened a three -hour case of Treasurer with a picture of Loftis and Republican President Donald Trump on a screen in Barbia. He mentioned that he won the election four times and would face voters again within six months. Loftis had earlier said that he would not run for re -election.

    “Don’t want to say to the people that you are better than them,” the Barbia State Senate said from a temporary laketer on the back of the Senate Chamber. “Let’s decide on these national issues in the ballot box.”

    After the hearing, senators can ask questions. A two-thirds of the Senate’s vote will be needed to decide to “neglect responsibility” to “neglect of responsibility” and to send the matter to the House, which will also hold on to two-thirds of its own votes to remove the treasurer.

    One of the four senators present on Monday will have to vote against Loftis to continue the process.

    South Carolina has not been removed this way since becoming a state 225 years ago.

    The House Republican leaders did not indicate whether they would accept the matter.

    Gromes said the books were not yet fully straightened, and the accountants are fighting the Lofte’s office and how they operate the bank accounts in the state.

    Gromes said the treasurer has been trying to protect his reputation in his office and fame for 5 years.

    “Because of his failure, the best friend of the taxpayer’s self-proclaimed best friend is spending millions of legal, monitoring and supervising fees,” Gromes said. “With these national friends, who need tax-o-expenditure liberals” “

    Under the oath, a Senate subcommittee has heard the question to question Loftis. They have been controversial. Loftis condemned the papers, complained of the magical victims of the Senators and threatened to get up.

    As soon as the hearing began on Monday, he did not show any external signs of frustration or anger.

  • World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab retires as chairman

    Geneva – The founder of the World Economic Forum, the founder of the World Economic Forum, is the best known for the annual meeting of political, business and other elite in Swiss Alpine, Davos, and retired as the chairman of more than half a century after the creation of a Geneva -based Think tank, forum on Monday.

    The forum quotes 87 -year -old Shab in the forum states that he is resigning “with immediate influence”.

    According to the statement, Nestle’s former chairman and CEO Peter Brebek-Lolitmath was unanimously elected as interim chairman by the forum board at a special meeting on Sunday, the statement said. A search committee has been formed to pick a permanent successor.

    The annual rally of the Davos Forum has worked as a global center for decades where decision -makers, academics, international organizations and elite business executives should should shoulder to discuss the creation of government policies, global crisis and contract.

    The rally usually organized a long list of world leaders in January in January, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Donald Trump of the United States and many other states and government chiefs.

    “At a time when the world is being converted rapidly, the need for inclusive dialogue to navigate the complexity and transform the future was not more criticized,” the forum identifies its mission as “convenience of progress” which will continue to unite the leaders and build cooperation.

  • Chipotle Mexican Grill heads to Mexico to open its 1st location south of the border

    Chipotle Mexican Grill is coming to Mexico.

    California -based chain said on Monday that it was planning to open a restaurant in Mexico early next year in the south of the border in 30 years of history.

    Chipotle is part of Alcia in Mexico City, a company that operates Domino, Starbucks, Berger King, Chile and other brands in South America and Europe. Alsia plans to explore additional expansion in Mexico and other locations in the region.

    Chiptal’s chief business development officer, Nat Lon, said the company is confident that its menu will resonate with Mexican dinners.

    “The country’s familiarity with our elements and fresh food with our elements said it creates an attractive growth market for our company.”

    The expansion has reached the cost of President Donald Trump’s tariff on Mexican imports.

    Last week, the US Commerce Department reported that they had plans to withdraw from the 2019 contract by postponing an antidamping investigation into new tomato imports from Mexico. This completion, set for effect on July 14, will be subject to 20.91% of most tomatoes from Mexico.

    The chipotle has received about half of its avocado from Mexico, but not yet subject to tariffs.

    The chipotle, which was established in Denver in 1993, has 3,700 restaurants and planned to open 345 new locations this year.

    It has been focused on increasing its international footprint. Last year, it was parted with the Al -Shaya Group to open a restaurant in Kuwait within a decade. It now has three restaurants in Kuwait and two in the UAE.

  • Drones pose increasing risk to airliners near major US airports

    Washington – A commercial aircraft at San Francisco’s International Airport in November was towards the final procedure when the Crew Cockpit found a drone outside the window. At that moment it was too late to “take upset”, “the pilots said and the quadcopter was not 300 feet away from their windshield.

    A month ago, a Jetliner was flying at a height of 5 feet near the International Airport in Miami when its pilots reported a “close face” with a drone. In August, the left branch of a passenger jet came as a drone of 50 feet of clipping.

    According to aviation protection experts, all of these events were classified as “nearest middle conflict” – which could have the catastrophic consequences of any one. They were not isolated encounters.

    An associated press analysis of the airline protection database revealed that last year drones were about two-thirds of the report near the media collision involved in the landing and landing at the top 30 busiest airports in the country. The airline traffic was reduced during the Covid -19 epidemic when it was the highest percentage of these nearest misses since 2021.

    AP has been found, the first missed reports of the nearby Miss involved with the drones in the 21st were logged. The next year, the number of face -to -face numbers spread. According to the AP analysis, in the last decade, drones have been reported to Miss around 51% – 122 in 240.

    A January clash between a military helicopter and a commercial jet near Washington DC was clarified by January collision – as the airports were at risk – passenger jets had long been at risk around the airports, which killed 67 people.

    The use of quadcopters and remote-Controld planes exploded in popularity as the threat to the drone has become more intense over the past decade. The FAA estimates that Americans are operating more than a million drones for recreational and commercial purposes.

    “If you have money, you can go to the Internet and buy a beautiful sophisticated drone that can reach the height, they have no business,” said William Waldoc, a Professor of Protection Science at Embry-Ridol Aeronautical University.

    The risk is the most intense of the airports because it is the most overlap of drones and aircraft aircraft, experts say.

    The events presents only a portion of these close calls because the database – NASA airline security reports – depending on the submission of voluntary submission of pilots and other aviation staff. A separate FAA program, which includes public reports, has at least 160 spectacles of flying drones near the airports last month.

    “The FAA recognizes this instability and we all know that additional changes need to be made to identify and mitigate the airports,” Hanna Thach, executive director of partnership known as the UAS system as a coalition through research superiority, said.

    The FAA says they have taken steps to reduce the risk of drones. It has banned almost all drones flying around the airports without prior approval, though these national rules are difficult to enforce, and recreational users may not be aware of restrictions.

    The agency requires articles for drones weighing 250 grams (0.55 pounds), and a radio transponder need to carry a radio transponder that identifies the owner of the drone and broadcast its location to help avoid collision. Additional rules manage the use of commercial drones.

    The company is also examining systems to identify and counter -observance drones near the airports. Among the methods that are being tested: Jam drones are forced to use radio signals or landing them. Authorities are also weighing whether high-power microwave or laser beam should be installed to disable machines.

    Experts say the FAA and other authorities can do more. They suggested creating a system similar to the speed camera on the roadways that could capture a drone transponder code and send tickets to its pilots.

    They also say that the FAA rules should be considered in which all manufacturers need to be programmed to prevent airport and other sensitive zones for a drone GPS unit program, this is a method called “Geofening”.

    The top drone manufacturer DJI uses this national geography for years. However, it removes the feature in January, when it reaches the restricted areas, the drone replaces it with caution to pilots.

    Adam Welsh, head of DJI’s Global Policy, said that handling the request for temporarily disable geofnsing from authorized users has become increasingly time -consuming task. Last year, more than one million requests were processed.

    Welsh said, “We had about twenty -four hours of service, but it was really difficult to handle the applications that arrived,” said Walesh. “All of them had to be reviewed individually.”

    He said no other manufacturers were able to do not enable Geofnsing and no need to do it without government rules, DJI decided to finish the practice, he said.

    The FAA refused to say whether it was considering whether it was considering the order of geofnsing.

    Experts say that the authorities should take more aggressive steps to account for the limited airspace violation of drone users – to highlight the problem and prevent others from breaching the rules, pointing to recent arrests that they could send this national message.

    For example, in December, the Boston police arrested two people who operated a drone that flew dangerously near Logan International Airport. Police said they were able to find drone flyers in some parts by tracking the aircraft for the FAA-driven transponder signal.

    A month later, a small drone collided with a “super scoop” aircraft that was struggling to spread the flames scattered in southern California. The drone dug a hole in the left wing of the aircraft, which was sufficiently damaged that officers were based on repairing the aircraft for several days.

    Authorities found a 56 -year -old drone operator who was convicted of a federal allegation for recklessly flying his aircraft. According to the court record, the FAA’s flying in that region is limited to flying, he admitted that he launched his DJI quadcopter to monitor the fire at the Pacific Polysades neighborhood. It lost the drone after the operator flying about 1.5 miles from where the operator launched. And it was then that the “super scooper” hit.

  • China to retaliate with sanctions on US officials, NGO leaders over Hong Kong issues

    Hong Kong – China will approve the US officials, lawmakers and leaders of the non -governmental organizations who have said that “acting badly” on the Hong Kong issue, the Foreign Ministry has announced.

    The United States has approved six Chinese and Hong Kong officials in March who complained that it was involved in “transnational suppression” and works by threatening to further decay the city’s autonomy. Officials were included in Justice Secretary Paul Lam, Director of the Security Office Dong Jingway and former Police Commissioner Raymond CU.

    In a retaliatory action against Washington DC on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Ziakun said China strongly condemned the laws and called them “disgusting”. The United States has severely intervened in Hong Kong issues and violated international law policy, he said

    “China has decided to impose sanctions on US Congressmen, officials and NGO leaders who have acted badly on the Hong Kong-related issue,” said Guo that the response was made in accordance with the law of foreign sanctions.

    He did not provide more details about who was being targeted.

    Guo also issued a warning about Hong Kong that the issues of the southern Chinese city are not subject to US intervention. He said that the Chinese government, who was taken on the Hong Kong-related issue, would be considered wrong, that the FIRM-1 would be filled with counter-counter and mutual revenge, he said.

    Titus for Hong Kong’s human rights issues is the latest symptom of growing tensions between Beijing and Washington, which has already spread the business on both sides in a trade war.

    Beijing on Monday warned other countries against the United States to make a trade agreement against China for the loss of China.

    In March, US sanctions on officials were not related to the first British colony, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997. Donald Trump’s first president, his government imposed sanctions on Hong Kong and Chinese officials to undermine Hong Kong’s autonomy.

    In 2021, the administration of former President Joe Biden was further banned by the officials on Beijing’s crackdown regarding political independence in semi-autonomous cities.

    Since China imposed a national security law to prevent anti -government protests in 2021, the Hong Kong authorities have sued many top activists in the city. Media outlets are known for the government’s critical report after their top management arrest. Dozens of civil society groups have been demolished.

    In the last two years, Hong Kong authorities have issued an arrest warrant for five abroad workers, which has Million 1 million Hong Kong dollars ($ 128,536) for information on each arrest. Some of them lived in the USA

    Over the years, the crackdown has been criticized by foreign governments, especially because the city was promised to keep the city intact for at least five years during the 1997 intervention.

    Beijing and Hong Kong governments emphasized that the law was necessary for the city’s stability.

  • China warns countries against making trade deals with the US unfavorable to Beijing

    Beijing – China on Monday warned other countries against the United States to make a trade agreement for China’s loss.

    Governments, including Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, have begun talks with Washington after President Donald Trump announced the spread of tariffs against almost all US business partners on April 2. After the market was terrified, import taxes against most countries were paid quickly, but he had already raised steep tariff against China.

    The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in a statement, “China has opposed any part of China to reach an agreement at the expense of China’s interest.” “If this happens, China will never accept it and take a counter -action in a mutual manner. China is determined and capable of protecting its rights and interests.”

    US Treasury Secretary Scott Besent says the countries discussed with the United States currently about the trade agreement with the United States earlier this month “China should contact China as a party”.

    The US tariffs against other countries are economic bullying, ministry, anonymous spokesperson blamed.

    “The supervision cannot bring peace, and the compromise cannot win the honor,” added it. “For the sake of one’s own temporary selfish interests, in exchange for the so -called exemption, the interest of others is like looking for the skin from the tiger. It will eventually fail only to both ends and to harm others without benefiting themselves.”

    China reports that it is open to discuss with Washington but no meeting has been announced.

    Trump targeted China to its steep tariffs, imposing a number of tariffs on Chinese imports. Beijing revenge with 125% of tariffs on US imports.

    The tariffs have spread the exporter and suspended invoice when threatening to pull the global economy.
