Donald Trump
President of the United States
As of April 2025, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term as the 47th president of the United States after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election. His administration has enacted sweeping changes, including major staff cuts across federal agencies under the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and rolled back diversity initiatives while pushing hardline immigration and citizenship policies—many of which have sparked legal challenges and nationwide protests. On the global stage, Trump has reignited trade tensions with China by imposing high tariffs, prompting retaliatory measures and market instability. He has also initiated nuclear talks with Iran and continues to promote his “America First” doctrine. Amid his controversial return to power, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with recent developments even including scrutiny of Wikipedia's neutrality and online censorship concerns raised by its co-founder Larry Sanger.
Trump Threatens China with New 50% Tariff in Escalating Trade War
- Monday, 07 April 2025

President Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on China if they do not remove their retaliatory import levy of 34% by Tuesday. This escalation comes after Beijing announced it would impose reciprocal 34% tariffs on all US imports. Trump warned that negotiations and trade talks with China would be canceled if they refused to back down, stating that he would "impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50 percent effective April 9th" unless the Chinese removed their tariff by April 8th, 2025.
