 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.

KING CHARLES III JOINS POPE LEO IN PRAYER TODAY AT THE VATICAN. (PHOTOS). #BREAKDOWN


 King Charles III joins Pope Leo in prayer

King Charles III prayed alongside Pope Leo at the Vatican on Thursday, marking the first time a head of the Church of England has done so since the split with the Holy See 500 years ago. The King and Queen Camilla joined the Pope at the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls during a historic service that highlights centuries of ties between Britain and the Vatican.

The royal couple’s visit coincided with the Vatican’s Jubilee, a year of penance and forgiveness held every 25 years. Following a private audience, Charles received the honorary title of Royal Confrater, recognizing the longstanding historical links between the British monarchy and the church. Gifts were exchanged, including a photograph of St. Edward the Confessor for the pope and a mosaic of Christ Pantocrator for Charles and Camilla. The king and pope also prayed together at the Sistine Chapel, reportedly a first for a Church of England leader. At St. Paul’s, Charles was presented with a chair featuring his coat of arms and a Latin inscription meaning “That they may be one,” which will remain at the basilica for him and his successors.

The King and Queen, accompanied by Pope Leo, have attended a special service in the Sistine Chapel, marking the joining of hands between the Catholic Church and Church of England, in a celebration of ecumenism.

PART 3:

In the Papal Basilica and Abbey of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, The King and Queen have attended an ecumenical service, to mark His Majesty becoming ‘Royal Confrater’ of the Abbey of St. Paul.

The King sat in a specially created seat – given in honour of His Majesty becoming Royal Confrater.

This gift of ‘confraternity’ – a recognition of spiritual fellowship – symbolises the historic links between the English monarchy and the Basilica and Abbey of St Paul’s Outside the Walls. It also reflects the mutual recognition between Pope Leo and His Majesty as Heads of State.  

St Paul’s is recognised as the Papal Basilica where reconciliation, ecumenism and relationships across the Christian faith are celebrated.

Their Majesties entered the Basilica via the Holy Door which is  opened to the public every twenty-five years, during a Jubilee Year.
