According to Trump, China's President Xi Jinping called him amid the tariff war dispute, which Beijing denied was happening. When asked by Time magazine whether he would call Xi if the Chinese leader didn't initiate contact, Trump replied "no" and later confirmed that Xi had indeed called him, stating it wasn't a sign of weakness on his behalf.

China has returned planes it ordered from Boeing to the US due to Trump tariffs. Boeing's CEO Kelly Ortberg said two planes have already been returned and another will follow, with 50 more planned for delivery this year that are now unlikely to be taken. The company is assessing options to re-market 41 of the already built planes to other customers.

DHL Express is temporarily stopping deliveries to the US worth more than $800 due to increased red tape at customs following the introduction of Donald Trump’s tariff regime. The company will still deliver packages worth less than $800 with minimal checks, but business-to-business shipments may face delays. The change in customs procedures has caused a surge in formal clearances, which DHL is handling around the clock.

This Easter is expected to be the most expensive one yet for chocolate lovers due to Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports and soaring cocoa prices. Last year, Americans spent $5.4 billion on Easter candy alone, but with traditional treats like chocolate bunnies and bars becoming more costly, this Easter may look different. The price of chocolate candy has surged over the past year, largely due to poor climate and bean disease in West Africa, which produces 70% of global cocoa.
