 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...

SUDANESE ARMY RETAKES SOUTH KORDOFAN TOWN AFTER CLASHES WITH RSF-ALLIED FORCES. (PHOTO).


 Sudanese army retakes South Kordofan town after clashes with RSF-allied forces


The Sudanese army recaptured the town of Mabsut in South Kordofan state in the country’s south, after battles with forces allied with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), witnesses said.


Army forces established control over Mabsut, west of the locality of Al-Abbasiya Tagali, after clashes with forces of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), witnesses told Anadolu.


With the new gain, the Sudanese army now controls all areas west of Al-Abbasiya Tagali.


Army personnel also posted videos on social media claiming the takeover of Mabsut.


Control over key routes


Al-Abbasiya Tagali has a special importance as it links between the northern and southern parts of South Kordofan, and gives the army control over key routes that influence the movement of troops and civilians in the area.


On Sunday, the Sudanese army gained control over several areas west of Al-Abbasiya Tagali after clashes with the RSF.


The RSF now controls all five Darfur states, out of Sudan’s 18 states, while the army holds most of the remaining 13 states, including Khartoum.


The conflict in Sudan between the army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has killed at least 40,000 people and displaced 12 million, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
