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.
China Vows to Fight Back Against Trump's Tariffs Amid Escalating Trade War
- Tuesday, 08 April 2025

China has vowed to "fight to the end" against the US over Trump’s threatened additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports, calling it a "typical unilateral bullying practice". China will take countermeasures to safeguard its interests in response to the US's "so-called reciprocal tariffs", which are deemed "completely groundless". The US has already imposed 20% and 34% tariffs on Chinese goods, with Trump threatening additional 50% tariffs if China does not back down.
