⌨The newspapers extensively report on Trump's escalating tariff threats against China. Trump has confirmed he won't pause his tariff plan but maintains the measures are negotiable (ABC, CNN, Epoch Times, USA Today), now threatening an additional 50% tariff on Chinese goods if Beijing doesn't remove retaliatory duties (CNN, Epoch Times, Newsweek, Vox). Markets continue facing extreme volatility, with Wall Street potentially heading for a bear market (AP News, Slate, Vox), losing over 4,000 points since tariff implementation. Some border towns are already experiencing recession (Atlantic). In legal news, Chief Justice Roberts temporarily blocked a court order requiring the return of a man deported to El Salvador (Common Dreams, The Blaze), while Trump announced direct talks with Iran over nuclear issues (Fox News).
