 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.

 JAMB Registrar Dismisses Conspiracy Claims Over UTME Glitch, Mourns Deceased Candidate


The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has refuted allegations of a conspiracy targeting candidates from Nigeria’s South-East zone following a technical glitch in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The glitch, which affected examination processes in the five South-East states and Lagos, sparked claims that JAMB deliberately compromised the results of South-East candidates.


Speaking at a meeting with JAMB management on Tuesday, ahead of the release of results for the rescheduled UTME, Prof. Oloyede firmly denied the allegations. “There was no deliberate attempt to undermine students from the South-East. Every candidate is Nigerian and has equal opportunities,” he stated, addressing concerns raised by some lawmakers from the South-East who called for his resignation over the glitch, which impacted over 300,000 students.


The registrar also expressed regret over the death of a candidate linked to the examination, describing it as a tragic loss. The meeting observed a minute of silence in honor of the deceased candidate.


Prof. Oloyede reiterated JAMB’s commitment to fairness and transparency as the board prepares to release the rescheduled UTME results on Wednesday.
