 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. Despite the truce, tensions remain, including over a new U.S. trade investigation into 16 trading partners...

Plane Crash in Russia Kills All 50 On Board


✈️ Russia Plane Crash Kills All 50 On Board in Remote Amur Region


Date: July 24, 2025

Location: Tynda, Amur Region, Russia

Aircraft: Antonov An‑24 (built in 1976)

Operator: Angara Airlines

Fatalities: 48 (42 passengers, including 5 children, and 6 crew members). Updated to 50.


⸻


🔺 What Happened?


A tragic plane crash occurred in Russia’s far eastern Amur region when a Soviet-era Antonov An-24 aircraft operated by Angara Airlines crashed while attempting a second landing near Tynda Airport. The aircraft disappeared from radar around 1:05 PM local time, and rescue teams later discovered the charred wreckage in a forested, mountainous area about 15 km south of the airport. All 48 people on board perished.


⸻


🌧️ Weather and Conditions:


Poor weather with heavy rain and fog played a major role in the crash. Early reports suggest pilot error may also have contributed during the second landing attempt. The aircraft had reportedly made one unsuccessful landing before circling back.


⸻


🛩️ About the Aircraft:


The Antonov An-24, a twin turboprop, was more than 50 years old and is still in use across Russia’s remote regions. Nicknamed the “flying tractor,” it is known for its ability to land on short, unpaved runways but is no longer widely used globally. Due to Western sanctions and limited spare parts, Russia continues to operate many older Soviet-designed aircraft.




⚖️ Investigation and Government Response:

 • Russian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into violations of aviation safety laws.

 • Amur Governor Vasily Orlov declared three days of mourning.

 • President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to the victims’ families.

 • China’s President Xi Jinping also sent a message of sympathy.


⸻


⚠️ Bigger Picture:


This disaster raises serious concerns about the safety of aging aircraft still in operation across Russia. Although the Russian government has announced the production of a new domestic aircraft model, Ladoga, it is not expected to be ready before 2027.
