 US-China trade talks begin in Paris, setting stage for Trump-Xi summit  U.S. and Chinese officials began high-level trade talks in Paris on Sunday, setting the stage for President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Beijing to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in about two weeks. The delegations are led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. While the White House has announced Trump’s visit for March 31 to April 2, Beijing has not yet confirmed the dates. Bessent emphasized that the U.S. team aims to secure outcomes that prioritize American farmers, workers, and businesses. Over the two-day talks, the delegations will focus on trade and economic issues of mutual concern. Trump’s visit will be his first to China since his first term in 2017 and follows a one-year truce in the U.S.-China trade war agreed upon last year in Busan, South Korea.

UPDATE: NO SURVIVORS IN WASHINGTON MIDAIR COLLISION, 28 BODIES RECOVERED. (PHOTO).


 No Survivors in Washington Midair Collision, 28 Bodies Recovered


U.S. officials have confirmed that there are no survivors from the midair collision between a passenger jet carrying 64 people and a military helicopter over Washington’s Potomac River.


Washington Fire Chief John Donnelly announced the transition from a rescue to a recovery operation, with 28 bodies recovered so far, including one from the helicopter. Emergency responders battled freezing conditions overnight, navigating ice-covered waters and strong winds.


The cause of the crash remains unclear, though air traffic recordings revealed repeated warnings to the helicopter before the collision. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggested the tragedy was “absolutely preventable.”


Among the victims were athletes, coaches, and officials, including Russian figure skating champions Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov. The Bombardier jet, operated by an American Airlines subsidiary, was approaching Reagan National Airport when it collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk on a training flight.


Eyewitnesses described a fireball and sparks trailing the aircraft before it plunged into the river. The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded flights at Reagan National until further notice.


President Donald Trump criticized air traffic control, questioning why the helicopter was not directed to maneuver. The incident raises concerns over airspace congestion in Washington, a city with heavy aviation traffic, including commercial flights and government helicopters.
