Trump says Boeing should ‘default China’ as claims of tariff trade talks denied: Live

Donald Trump’s administration moved a Venezuelan immigrant living in Philadelphia to a Texas detention facility for possible removal from the United States despite a court order blocking his removal from Pennsylvania and the country.

On April 15, Trump-appointed District Judge Stephanie Haines blocked the government from moving a man named in court documents as A.S.R. from her western Pennsylvania judicial district.

But roughly 30 minutes after her order, a plane carrying the man took off for Texas, according to filings from the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents him.

On Tuesday, Kimmel laid into Hegseth over reports he had again disclosed sensitive information about airstrikes in Yemen, this time in a Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and lawyer. In his monologue, the comedian accused Hegseth of being a ‘leaker’ and branded his attempts to deflect criticism as ‘bull****’.

Switzerland’s foreign minister, on a visit to China, says the sweeping tariffs imposed by Donald Trump are like an earthquake that has hit “all the other countries on the planet” and thrust them into “a sort of coalition” to reach a deal with the United States.

Ignazio Cassis spoke to reporters in Beijing on Thursday after meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.

“We have to convince the United States to come back to a multilateral discussion — which for now is not a given,” the Swiss diplomat said.

Trump has imposed 31 percent tariffs on Swiss goods — far higher than the 20 percent faced by its European Union neighbors — but Switzerland is among the many places now subject to a 90-day pause.

President Donald Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, was asked about what concessions Russia is offering in negotiations to end its war on Ukraine: “Stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country — pretty big concession,” he said.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters on Thursday that trade talks with South Korea may be moving faster than the Trump administration expected.

“We will be talking technical terms as early as next week,” he said. “South Koreans came early, they came with their A game. And we will see if they follow through on that.”

Asked about his post this morning, saying, “Vladimir, STOP!” concerning last night’s missile attack by Russia on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, President Donald Trump said: “I didn’t like last night. I wasn’t happy with it. We’re in the midst of talking peace, and missiles were fired. And I was not happy with it.”
