 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble.

 Trump hints at cutting China tariffs to 80%


9th May 2025



US President Donald Trump signalled on Friday that he could lower tariffs on Chinese imports, as the rival superpowers prepare for trade talks over the weekend.


“80% Tariff on China seems right!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, which would bring them down from 145 per cent, with cumulative duties on some goods reaching a staggering 245 per cent.


He added that it was “Up to Scott B.”, referring to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who will confer with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend in Geneva to try to cool the conflict roiling international markets.


In his post, Trump did not say if he thought 80 per cent should be the final, definitive level for tariffs on Chinese goods if and when the trade war ends, or an interim status.


In another post, this time all in capital letters, Trump said, “China should open up its market to USA – would be so good for them!!! Closed markets don’t work anymore!!!”


Trump’s comments came a day after he unveiled what he called a historic trade agreement with Britain, the first deal with any country since he unleashed a blitz of sweeping global tariffs last month.


Trump said the British deal would be the first of many and that he hoped difficult talks with the EU — as well as China — could soon produce results too.


Several countries have lined up to hold talks with Washington to avert the worst of Trump’s duties, which range from 10 per cent for many countries to the sky high ones on China — Trump’s main target.
