04.02.2025Day China answered tariffs at dawn
China's response to Trump's trade measures materialized at dawn, implementing 10-15% tariffs on US oil, gas, and automobiles. The EU simultaneously announced plans to relax deficit rules, allowing member states to increase military spending and US arms purchases.

By midday, the government unveiled its initiative to reduce the standard workweek to 37.5 hours, while investigations expanded in two separate cases: the Begoña Gómez affair, with her Moncloa advisor becoming a formal suspect, and the "Koldo case" targeting Ábalos's assets.

The evening brought Netanyahu to the White House, where Trump declared Gaza would be uninhabitable for years, suggesting Palestinian displacement as the only option. Meanwhile, over 9,000 residents evacuated Santorini amid continuous earthquakes, and Sweden faced its deadliest shooting with 10 casualties at an adult education center.
