Hero's welcome for Nvidia CEO! Jensen Huang delivers love letter to China, says nation leads in EVs and innovation
That chip sale deal was part of a trade truce: China agreed to speed up rare-earth mineral exports, and the U.S. relaxed some tech rules. Some people in U.S. Congress doesn't like the idea of giving China access to advanced American tech—they say it could help the Chinese military, according to the reports.

US Releases Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination Files Despite Family's Opposition
Washington: The Trump administration released hundreds of thousands of pages of records on Monday about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. despite concerns from the civil rights leader's family. "The American people have waited nearly sixty years to see the full scope of the federal government's investigation into Dr King's assassination," Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in a statement. "We are ensuring that no stone is left unturned in our mission to deliver complete transparency on this pivotal and tragic event in our nation's history." Gabbard said more than 230,000 pages of documents were being released and were being published "with minimal redactions for privacy reasons." President Donald Trump signed an executive order after taking office declassifying files on the 1960s assassinations of president John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and King. The National Archives released records from John F. Kennedy's November 1963 assassination in March and files related to the June 1968 murder of Robert F. Kennedy in April. King was assassinated in April 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. James Earl Ray was convicted of the murder and died in prison in 1998, but King's children have expressed doubts that he was the assassin. In a statement on Monday, King's two surviving children, Martin Luther King III and Bernice King, said they "support transparency and historical accountability" but were concerned the records could be used for "attacks on our father's legacy." The civil rights leader was the target during his lifetime of an "invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign" orchestrated by then FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, they said in a joint statement. The FBI campaign was intended to "discredit, dismantle and destroy Dr. King's reputation and the broader American Civil Rights Movement," they said. "These actions were not only invasions of privacy, but intentional assaults on the truth." "We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family's continuing grief," they said. The Warren Commission that investigated the shooting of John F. Kennedy determined it was carried out by a former Marine sharpshooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone. That formal conclusion has done little, however, to quell speculation that a more sinister plot was behind Kennedy's murder in Dallas, Texas, and the slow release of the government files added fuel to various conspiracy theories. President Kennedy's younger brother, Robert, a former attorney general, was assassinated while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian-born Jordanian, was convicted of his murder and is serving a life sentence in a prison in California.

Ontario Doubles Down on ‘Buy Canada' Message as Angry Residents Boycott US
(Bloomberg) -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford renewed a call to buy 'Canadian-made everything' to heap pressure on the US to negotiate a trade deal and lift tariffs. Ford, who leads Canada's biggest province and is hosting a meeting of premiers this week, said the country should lean into its status as America's biggest customer. Prime Minister Mark Carney will make an appearance at the conference on Tuesday for a huddle with the provincial leaders. Carney is sending Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-US trade, to Washington this week to negotiate with US President Donald Trump's administration, which has threatened a 35% tariff on some Canadian goods if there's no deal by Trump's Aug. 1 deadline. But the president and his officials have sent mixed signals about whether they want to sign agreements or simply proceed with unilateral tariff rates on trading partners. 'We're encouraging all provinces and territories: start buying Canadian-made vehicles, start buying Canadian-made everything — that will hurt more than anything at all,' Ford told reporters on Monday as he arrived at Deerhurst Resort near Huntsville, a picturesque town at the heart of Ontario's Muskoka region. Canadians say they're ramping up their boycott of US travel and products in response to the tariffs, according to the Bank of Canada's quarterly survey of households released Monday. About 55% of respondents said they're spending less on vacations to US destinations, and roughly 63% said they're pulling back on purchases of American goods. 'We're their number one customer. We buy more products from the US than Japan, China, Korea, the UK and France combined. So we are an economic powerhouse and we don't have to take a back seat to anyone,' he said, adding he wants his province to begin making products such as steel beams used in construction and aluminum cans for soda and beer. Trump hiked tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum imports to 50% in June. Canada's steel industry has already cut jobs and seen shipments slashed. Carney's government announced a plan last week to curb imports of foreign steel to help domestic producers — though one influential steel executive said it doesn't go nearly far enough. Ford's government pledged C$1.3 billion ($950 million) in May to help manufacturers by beefing up a tax credit for Ontario-made products. The government says about 830,000 people in the province work in manufacturing, which represents about 10% of jobs. Canada's premiers have largely struck a united front in the face of Trump's trade war, and their summer retreat is set to be dominated by discussions on how to increase trade between the provinces and advance major infrastructure projects, such as ports, to bolster the country's economic independence. Carney and some provincial leaders appeared resigned to at least some level of tariffs on Canadian shipments to the US, despite the existing trade accord that Trump signed in his first term that largely allows tariff-free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. The prime minister said last week there's little evidence Trump will cut a deal that completely drops tariffs. Arriving at the resort on Monday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she hopes sector-specific tariffs will be minimized as much as possible, while Quebec's Francois Legault said it's too soon to say whether it's inevitable that some tariffs remain. 'We'll see what we can get on August 1st. Of course, the ideal situation would be no tariffs,' Legault told reporters. Whatever the agreement is, he said, 'we need to have assurance that we'll keep this agreement for three, five years. We need to have an economy where the companies know what's happening in six months and 12 months from now.' More stories like this are available on

State Department Confirms China Barred US Citizen From Leaving
The US State Department confirmed that a US Patent and Trademark Office employee has been barred from leaving China, and said officials were working to resolve the situation. The department said the employee was 'made subject to an exit ban' while traveling in China 'in a personal capacity.' 'We are tracking this case very closely and are engaged with Chinese officials to resolve the situation as quickly as possible,' the department said. The statement confirmed earlier reports in the Washington Post and elsewhere that China had stopped the US citizen from departing for several months. The Post said the ban was put in place over an apparent failure to disclose on a visa application that he worked for the US government. Officials from Beijing and Washington — including in the Commerce Department — are negotiating a trade deal after President Donald Trump hit goods from China with heavy tariffs that he later paused. Trump also wants a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping to sort through their problems, which touch on technology curbs, rare earths and the status of Taiwan. The Commerce Department employee, a veteran of the US Army, was detained when he arrived in the southwestern city of Chengdu in April, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday, citing a person familiar with the situation. He was being prevented from leaving China because his case was 'related to actions Beijing deemed harmful to national security,' the newspaper reported, though the specifics couldn't be confirmed. Since the man arrived in Chengdu, he had also traveled to the Chinese capital with a US official, the newspaper reported.
