Trump announces initial economic agreement with China
US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he had reached a preliminary agreement with China, under which rare earths will be imported from Beijing.
Trump said that the agreement with China includes the placement of Chinese students in American universities, confirming that his country will receive a total tariff of 55%, while China will receive 10%, according to Sputnik News Agency.
China and the United States recently agreed to completely eliminate tariffs on each other's goods for an initial period of 90 days, a surprising achievement that has boosted global markets.
Under the agreement, the United States will temporarily reduce its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will reduce its tariffs on US imports from 125% to 10%, according to the joint statement.
The Chinese and American sides agreed to establish a mechanism to continue economic and trade talks. The Chinese side will be represented by Vice Premier He Lifeng, while the American side will be represented by Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Trade Representative Jameson Greer.
The meetings will alternate between China and the United States, or in a third country agreed upon by both sides, with the possibility of holding technical consultations at the working-level on related issues.
The dispute over trade tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on China, which reached 145%, and China's retaliation by raising its tariffs on American products by 125%, has sparked warnings of a trade war between the two countries that would have negative repercussions on the global economy.

The Red Sea Battle & the Beginning of the American Empire's Decline
Sana'a – SABA By: Political Editor The modern world is witnessing the downfall of the so-called 'American Empire of Evil,' which, through military dominance, positioned itself as a global policeman—exploiting a moment in history to enforce its will, suppress nations, occupy lands, and seize resources. That empire is now crumbling, and its collapse is expected to be as catastrophic as the trail of destruction it left behind—from Vietnam and Latin America to Afghanistan, former Czechoslovakia, Iraq, and many others scorched by American military intervention. As the saying goes, 'nothing lasts forever.' Ibn Khaldun, the renowned Arab sociologist, wrote that nations have life cycles similar to humans—youth, adulthood, and old age. Today, America is in its twilight, losing allies across the globe, including key NATO members in Western Europe. NATO, established by the U.S. after WWII to curb so-called communist expansion, was ultimately a tool to secure American interests. Under Donald Trump's leadership, the U.S. alienated much of the world in the name of 'America First.' The empire is now shedding allies, interests, and influence, as its antagonistic posture backfires. The world has watched with a mix of relief and astonishment as the Yemeni Armed Forces have dealt heavy blows to the world's most powerful military. The battles have proved that the decisive factor in warfare is not just weaponry but the will and resilience of the human spirit. The Yemeni fighter has exemplified this truth in the Red Sea and Arabian fronts—securing a resounding victory over a global superpower. Yemen's naval forces have established control over the Red Sea, enforcing an effective blockade on shipping routes tied to the occupation in support of Gaza. This demonstrates the Yemeni Navy's ability to challenge major powers and reshape strategic calculations in one of the world's most vital maritime corridors. These Yemeni victories have awakened other nations, prompting them to reconsider their positions vis-à-vis global powers—especially the United States. Long subjugated by American demands and overreaching expectations, countries are now realizing they can, indeed, say 'no' to the U.S.—just as Yemen has boldly done in its confrontation with both the U.S. and Israel.
