The move targets some of the United States’ top exports to China, including soybeans, meat and grains.
It was retaliation for Trump’s announcement that he would increase tariffs on Chinese products by an additional 10 percentage points, bringing the total tax on some Chinese products to 45 percent.

Presumably, this government by Truth Social posts will define exactly what an “illegal protest” is, and that definition will not be so broad that it encroaches on free speech guarantees we’ve enjoyed for two centuries.

Just a firehose of lies. Trump did nothing while Putin sat on a massive swath of Ukraine. Biden oversaw the largest U.S. oil exports in history. The war was started by Putin and he is the enemy. Just like the Republicans who have now dismantled our government.

This is #Belgrade right now. Citizens have responded to the students’ call for a 24-hour blockade and protest, shutting down one of the main highways in the city. Could this be the end of #AleksandarVučić? I hope so. I stand in solidarity with Serbian students and citizens fighting for democracy!
