China announced on Friday that it will escalate the tariffs for US goods from 84% to 125% – the youngest Salvo in an escalating trade war between the two largest economies in the world, which stirred the markets and sparked fears from global slowdown.
While US President Donald Trump held the break for other countries this week, he increased tariffs for China and she increased a total of 145%. China condemned politics as “economic bullying” and promised countermeasures. The novel tariffs start on Saturday.

The Senate confirms Trump candidate Caine as chair of the joint heads of staff.
Lieutenant General of the retired Air Force, Generalled Dan “Razin” Caine, was confirmed on Friday, almost two months after Trump had released Caine’s predecessor.
Trump nominated Caine to become the best US military officer in February after General CQ Brown Jr., the second black general, who acted as part of the campaign of his Republican administration to free the military from leaders, supported diversity and justice in the ranks.
The Senate confirmed Caine 60-25 in a vote overnight before going home for a two-week break.
Caine is a decorated F-16 fighter pilot that was used in several special operations in some of the classified programs of the Pentagon and in the CIA.
But he does not meet the prerequisites for the job defined in a law of 1986, such as:

Trump administration to refer Maine about the participation of the transgender in sports on doj
The deadline arrived on Friday so that Maine officials obtained a decision to the US education department when he found that the state violated that against the anti -discrimination laws by allowed transgender athletes to take part in the sports of the girls.
In March, the educational department gave that an investigation came to the conclusion that the Ministry of Education of Maine had violated the federal law of the federal title IX by allowed transgender girls to take part in girls’ teams. The investigation was followed by a public disagreement between the democratic governor of Janet Mills and Trump at a meeting of governors in February.
The office for civil rights of the US education department issued a final warning on March 31, in which it shared the state to comply with the law within 10 working days or to enforce it by the US Ministry of Justice. This period came on Friday.
Maine officers did not answer for inquiries about inquiries.
The US wholesale inflation fell in the last month when the price pressure decreased, but WARE Clouds Outlook acted
The Ministry of Labor announced on Friday that its producer price index, which pursues inflation before it meets consumers, fell by 0.4% from February.
Compared to the previous year, producer prices rose by 2.7%compared to a profit of 3.2%compared to the previous year in February and much lower than the 3.3%economists forecast.
The report takes place one day after the Ministry of Labor has given good news about inflation at consumer level.
The consumer price index last month in March 2024 only increased by 2.4%, the smallest profit in the previous year since September. The core prices for consumers have recorded the smallest escalate in the previous year for almost four years.
The inflation prospects are confused by Trump’s trade wars. It levies a tax of 145% – a tariff – for Chinese imports and hits most of the remaining imports in the world with a tax of 10%, which could escalate after 90 days.
It is generally expected that the commercial barriers escalate prices if the importers try to pass on their higher costs.

In an explanation on Thursday, the US space force said that Col. Susan Meyers, who acted as commander of the Petenfik Space Base in Greenland, was removed due to the “loss of trust”.
In a occasional follow-up declaration, the Space Force said: “Commanders will probably comply with the highest behavioral standards, especially in connection with the remaining impartial performance in fulfilling their duties.”
Military.com reported that after Vice President Jd Vances’s visit to March, Meyers sent a basic email email and defended the relationship of the base to Denmark and Greenland. The Associated Press was not able to confirm the content of these e -mail immediately.
“Measures to the lower limit of the command chain or to undermine the agenda of President Trump are not tolerated in the Ministry of Defense,” said Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell in a separate explanation published on the social platform X.
States sue because of the sudden hold of the Pandemic aid aid for the Trump Administration schools through the sudden aids for the Pandemic Aids
Officials in 16 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration on Thursday to restore access to pandemic aid aid for schools.
The lawsuit was submitted to the US district court in Manhattan by a coalition of 16 Democratic Attorney General, led by New York’s Litia James and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, also Democrat. The administration’s refusal to publish the support of the facilitate violates the federal law, since it implemented an earlier decision to enable states to access money by March 2026.
The states were announced at the end of the last month that the educational department would not spend a deadline for the rest of the Covid aid aid granted by the Biden administration to facilitate schools and students recover from the eternal effects of pandemic. Schools should spend the last relief by January, but many were looking for and were granted more time.

Trump will undergo his annual physical Friday after years of reluctance
Trump became his annual physical physical on Friday and may have given the public the first details about the health of a man who became the oldest in US history in January, which was sworn in as president.
Despite the physical and mental performance of predecessor Joe Biden, Trump routinely kept basic facts about his own health, which remained in medical questions against established transparency of the president.
If the story is a indication of indication, its recent physical probably creates a flattering report that is rare for details. It is carried out in the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will be the first public information about Trump’s health since an assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, against him last July.
Instead of publishing medical documents at this time, the MP from Texas, Ronny Jackson – joked a convinced supporter who served as his doctor in the White House and once joked in the briefing room of the White House that Trump could live in 200 if he had a healthier diet – a memo that describes a gunshot wound from Trump’s right ear.

China announced on Friday that it will escalate the tariffs for US goods from 84% to 125% – the youngest salva in an escalating trade war between the two largest economies in the world, which fanceled the markets and sparked fears from global slowdown.
While Trump was impressive for other countries this week, he increased tariffs for China and she 145%. China condemned politics as “economic bullying” and promised countermeasures. The novel tariffs start on Saturday.
