23.05.2025 โข Day Trump's Tariff Threats Rattled Markets While Gaza Aid Crisis Deepened
โจTrump announced 50% tariffs on EU imports starting June 1st, sending European stock markets plunging. This development came just weeks after the US-UK trade deal and followed Trump's earlier tariff threats against other nations.
The Israeli-Gaza conflict continued escalating on diplomatic fronts. Netanyahu accused Starmer of being on the "wrong side of humanity" and siding with Hamas, following the UK's sanctions against Israel announced two days prior. The UN Secretary-General demanded Israel allow more aid into Gaza, describing the current situation as allowing only a "teaspoon" of assistance amid "atrocious death and destruction."
New details emerged about the OceanGate Titan submarine implosion, with footage capturing the sound of the vessel imploding and the CEO's wife's unknowing reaction. Other stories included a stabbing at Hamburg railway station and claims that Freddie Mercury had a "secret daughter."
