15.06.2025Day China Raised Tariffs to 125%

China escalated the trade war by raising tariffs on US goods from 84% to 125%, signaling this would be its final countermeasure. President Xi struck a defiant tone, saying China was "not afraid" while seeking EU support against "unilateral bullying." Markets reacted negatively, with the dollar sinking and businesses adding "tariff surcharges" at checkout.

The Supreme Court case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia intensified as the Justice Department defied a court order to reveal its plan for returning the wrongly deported man, prompting a judge to demand daily updates. The DOJ claimed the deadline was "impracticable."

An immigration judge ruled Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil could be deported, though his removal remains temporarily blocked during appeals.

Other developments included a Space Force commander's firing over comments about VP Vance, and a Hudson River helicopter crash that killed a Siemens executive's family. HEBREWSUMMARY: סין החריפה את מלחמת הסחר בהעלאת המכסים על סחורות אמריקאיות מ-84% ל-125%, תוך איתות שזהו צעד הנגד האחרון שלה. הנשיא שי הביע עמדה מתריסה, אומר כי סין "אינה מפחדת" ומחפש תמיכה מהאיחוד האירופי נגד "בריונות חד-צדדית". השווקים הגיבו בשלילה, כאשר הדולר צונח ועסקים מוסיפים "תוספות מכס" בקופות.

תיק בית המשפט העליון של קילמר אברגו גרסיה החריף כאשר משרד המשפטים התעלם מצו בית המשפט לחשוף את תכניתו להחזרת האדם שגורש בטעות, מה שהוביל שופט לדרוש עדכונים יומיים. משרד המשפטים טען שהמועד האחרון "אינו מעשי".

שופט הגירה קבע כי פעיל אוניברסיטת קולומביה מחמוד חליל ניתן לגירוש, אם כי הרחקתו נותרה חסומה זמנית במהלך הערעורים.

התפתחויות נוספות כללו פיטורי מפקד כוח החלל בגלל הערות על סגן הנשיא ואנס, והתרסקות מסוק בנהר הדסון שהרגה את משפחתו של מנהל סימנס.
