A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that many of the tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on China and other U.S. trading partners can remain in effect while the administration’s appeal proceeds. The ruling extends a temporary stay issued after a lower court in late May found the tariffs illegal. The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington offers a temporary but significant victory for the Trump administration, which had warned that suspending the tariffs could weaken the president’s position in ongoing international trade negotiations. However, the administration still faces the challenge…

WASHINGTON — Ongoing trade conflicts, particularly those involving the United States, are projected to significantly slow economic growth both domestically and globally this year, according to a new World Bank forecast released Tuesday. While not naming President Donald Trump directly, the World Bank cited “a substantial rise in trade barriers” as a key driver behind its downgraded outlook. The U.S. economy, the world’s largest, is now expected to grow just 1.4% in 2025—half the pace of last year’s 2.8% growth and well below the 2.3% the Bank had forecast in January. The global economic outlook was also revised downward. The…

The city of Los Angeles has imposed a curfew in part of downtown Tuesday night amid rising tensions between California and the Trump administration over immigration raids and the use of federal troops to respond to protests. Mayor Karen Bass announced a 10-hour curfew, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., covering a one-square-mile area where protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have continued. The LAPD reported over 300 arrests in the past two days. The move comes as Governor Gavin Newsom filed an emergency request to block Trump from deploying military forces alongside ICE agents in Los Angeles. President…

Harvard Receives Broad Legal Support from Ivy Peers, Universities, and Over 12,000 Alumni in Fight Against Trump-Era Threats Twenty-four universities — including five members of the Ivy League — and more than 12,000 Harvard alumni have stepped forward to support Harvard University in its ongoing legal battle with the Trump administration, which has threatened to withhold billions in federal grants. On Monday, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, and the University of Pennsylvania, along with other prominent institutions, filed an amicus curiae brief backing Harvard. They argue that the administration’s threat to freeze research funding would not only affect Harvard, but also…

Zelenskyy Slams U.S. Inaction After One of Russia’s Largest Strikes on Kyiv Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed frustration with former U.S. President Donald Trump and the broader international response, calling for “concrete actions, not silence,” after a massive Russian assault hit seven of Kyiv’s ten districts overnight. Russia launched an intense aerial barrage in the early hours of Tuesday, firing 315 drones and seven missiles across Ukraine, including in Odesa and other key regions. The capital, however, bore the brunt of the attack, which lasted more than five hours and appeared to be a retaliatory response to Ukraine’s recent Operation…

As U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators meet in London this week, Washington’s top concern is whether Beijing will ease its grip on rare earth minerals—materials critical to countless modern technologies. China holds a near-monopoly in the global rare earth supply chain, mining around 70% and refining nearly 90% of these essential elements. Rare earths are used in everything from electric vehicles and military systems to wind turbines and even car seats. In contrast, the U.S. has minimal domestic production, largely because rare earth mining is costly and environmentally destructive. This imbalance became more urgent in April when China tightened export…

SUNRISE, Fla. — Taking full advantage of Edmonton’s sloppiest showing in weeks, the Florida Panthers steamrolled the Oilers 6-1 on Monday night in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, claiming a 2-1 lead in the series.

Together, Marchand and Bennett have now combined for eight goals in…

New evidence has revealed that Nazi guards at a prison camp on one of the Channel Islands used prisoners for target practice as a form of weekend entertainment during the Second World War. According to recent research, SS guards at the Sylt camp on Alderney would select around a dozen prisoners on Sundays and transport them to a nearby light-gauge railway. There, the prisoners were tied to tipper trucks and used as live targets. Over the course of several hours, the guards would shoot at specific parts of the prisoners’ bodies, deliberately wounding them multiple times before ultimately killing them.…
