Trump Meets Xi Jinping for High Stakes US China Talks US President Donald Trump has arrived in China for a crucial diplomatic visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting brings together top business leaders and political figures at a time of rising global tension over trade, technology, Iran, and Taiwan. Trump is joined by his son Eric Trump and leading executives from major US companies. These include Elon Musk of Tesla, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Fink of BlackRock, and Kelly Ortberg of Boeing. The visit highlights the strong link between politics and global business interests. Trump said he will ask Xi Jinping to open China further for American companies. He described this as his first priority in the talks, saying US firms want more access to the Chinese market. Trade Tensions Between US and China Trade relations between both countries have weakened in recent years due to tariffs and restrictions. Last year, total trade reached 414.7 billion dollars, a sharp drop from 690.4 billion dollars in 2022. The United States continues to face a large trade gap with China. US imports from China exceed exports by more than 200 billion dollars. Trump aims to reduce this gap by pushing for stronger Chinese demand for American farm products. China is expected to demand lower tariffs on its goods in return. Both sides continue to face pressure as economic competition intensifies. Technology and Rare Earth Pressure China has positioned itself as a major competitor in artificial intelligence and advanced computing. It continues to rely on US made chips while also increasing domestic production. Washington has tightened export rules due to concerns about technology transfer and security risks. At the same time, China holds influence over rare earth materials, which are essential for electronics and defense industries. Iran Conflict and Energy Concerns The war involving Iran is also expected to be a key topic during the meeting. China depends heavily on Iranian oil, but supply routes have been disrupted due to instability around the Strait of Hormuz. Beijing maintains long standing ties with Tehran and faces pressure from Washington to reduce its support. Trump stated that he plans to discuss Iran directly with Xi Jinping and does not believe external help is necessary for resolving the conflict. China also has its own motivation to end the war as rising oil prices affect its economy and industrial growth. Taiwan and Regional Security Taiwan remains a sensitive issue in US China relations. The United States has approved a major arms sale to Taiwan, but its long term defense stance remains uncertain. A group of US senators recently urged Trump to publicly reaffirm support for Taiwan. They also emphasized that American military assistance should remain firm despite ongoing trade negotiations. China continues to view Taiwan as part of its territory, while the US maintains strategic ambiguity on direct military involvement. Diplomatic Schedule in Beijing Trump is expected to attend a formal welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People. The schedule also includes a state banquet, multiple bilateral meetings, a friendship photo session, and a working lunch with Xi Jinping. He is set to leave China the following day.

US Democrat Ro Khanna Says He Was Detained by Armed Israeli Settlers in West Bank Ro Khanna’s West Bank Visit Turns Into Detention Incident US Congressman Ro Khanna said he was detained for around 90 minutes by armed Israeli settlers during a visit to the occupied West Bank. Khanna said the incident happened on Wednesday while he was travelling with his team near Turmus Ayya, close to Ramallah. According to his statement, several settlers carrying M4 rifles surrounded their vehicle and blocked their movement. The congressman said the situation continued even after Israeli forces arrived. He claimed that the soldiers supported the settlers instead of helping his group leave the area. Khanna Describes Encounter With Armed Settlers In a statement shared on social media, Khanna said he was visiting the ruins of Khirbet Zanuta as part of a fact finding trip. He wanted to examine the effects of Israeli occupation and the impact on Palestinian communities. Khanna said the area had suffered major damage, including the destruction of a village school. He claimed that armed settlers arrived and stopped their vehicle while they were inspecting the location. During the detention, Khanna’s team contacted the US Embassy in Jerusalem for assistance. He said they were released later after police officers arrived and helped end the situation. Israeli Military Responds to Claims The Israeli military said troops and police officers responded after receiving reports that settlers had blocked vehicles in the area. According to the military, officers arrived at the scene, separated the Israeli civilians, and allowed the vehicles to continue their journey. The military has not accepted Khanna’s description of the incident and said its forces acted to resolve the situation. Background of West Bank Settlements Israel has established around 160 settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where approximately 700,000 Jewish settlers live. Palestinians consider these areas part of a future independent state. Around 3.3 million Palestinians also live in the West Bank alongside these settlements. Many countries and international organizations consider Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank illegal under international law, while Israel disputes this position. Political Future of Ro Khanna Ro Khanna, a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives, has gained attention for his views on foreign policy issues. He is also considered a possible candidate for the 2028 US presidential race. The incident during his West Bank visit has added further attention to discussions about Israeli settler activity, Palestinian communities, and US involvement in the region.

Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina, has died at the age of 71 after a brief illness. His more than two decade career in the US Senate reflected the major changes within the Republican Party during the rise of Donald Trump. Graham built his political identity around several key issues, including a strong national security approach, support for Israel, opposition to Iran’s government, and efforts to limit Russia’s influence around the world. After winning his Senate seat in 2002, Graham became a close ally of Senator John McCain. Like McCain, he was known as a conservative politician who sometimes worked across party lines. From Trump Critic to Close Political Ally During his 2015 presidential campaign, Graham promoted cooperation between Republicans and Democrats. He often spoke about reducing political divisions and finding solutions through discussion. However, his relationship with Donald Trump changed dramatically. During the 2016 Republican primary, Graham strongly criticised Trump after Trump attacked John McCain’s military service. Graham called Trump’s comments unacceptable and questioned his ability to lead the country. The conflict became personal when Trump shared Graham’s phone number at a rally, leading to a flood of angry messages toward the senator. Later, Graham continued his criticism and described Trump as a divisive figure. He also warned that choosing Trump as the Republican nominee could damage the party. Graham’s Shift After Trump Won the Presidency After Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Graham changed his approach. He became one of Trump’s strongest supporters in the Senate. The two politicians developed a close relationship and often spent time together, including playing golf. Graham also became a frequent defender of Trump’s policies during television appearances and political debates. One of Graham’s most notable moments came during the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Graham strongly defended Kavanaugh during the confirmation process after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against him. Kavanaugh denied the allegations and later secured Senate approval. A Complex Political Legacy Although Graham supported Trump for much of his presidency, he did not fully agree with him on every issue. After Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Graham briefly separated himself from some of Trump’s claims about the election results. Throughout his Senate career, Lindsey Graham remained a significant figure in American politics. His journey showed the changing direction of the Republican Party and highlighted how politicians adapted to the powerful influence of the Trump era. His supporters viewed him as a skilled political strategist, while critics questioned his shift from a Trump opponent to one of his closest allies. Graham’s legacy will be remembered as a story of political change, compromise, and survival during one of the most transformative periods in modern American politics.
