GUANGZHOU, China (AP) — Exporters at China’s largest trade fair spoke on Wednesda

President Donald Trump made it clear on Tuesday that the next move in trade discussions belongs to China, according to a statement read by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, as Trump intensifies efforts to correct what he sees as long-standing trade imbalances.
Though Leavitt noted that Trump’s stance toward China has already been made plain, she shared an additional comment directly from the president.
“The ball is in China’s court. China needs to make a deal with us. We don’t have to make a deal with them. There’s no difference between China and any other country, except they are much larger and China wants what we have — what every country wants, what we have: The American consumer,” Leavitt said, quoting Trump.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s defense minister said Wednesday that troops will remain in so-called security zones in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria indefinitely, remarks that could further complicate talks with Hamas over a ceasefire and hostage release.

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations released a statement Tuesday reaffirming its opposition to Francesca Albanese’s continued role as the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories.
“The United States continues to strongly denounce Francesca Albanese’s tenure as the ‘UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967.’ The Human Rights Council’s (HRC) support for Ms. Albanese offers yet another example of why President Trump ordered the United States to cease all participation in the HRC,” the statement said.

Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, took a firmer stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions Tuesday, insisting that any forthcoming agreement must require Tehran to completely abandon its nuclear development efforts.
This firm declaration, made in a post on social media, stood in stark contrast to remarks Witkoff delivered just the day before on Fox News. In that earlier interview, he had implied that the United States might tolerate uranium enrichment at the 3.67% level, which is typically used for peaceful energy generation.

Water innovation eliminates Shabbos burn risk Something extraordinary happened behind many closed doors in the Tri-State Area at the end of February. Meetings took place in the studies and dining rooms of respected rabbanim and dayanim before moving into their kitchens. Critical mission of kedusha and safety VPs of Afikim Water Technology from Israel, accompanied by their US partner, arrived with the Noam water dispensers — an innovative product that’s already transformed over 100,000 Israeli kitchens and won Israel’s best product of 2023 award. Their mission addresses two critical needs: preventing children’s burns from hot water urns while enhancing shemiras Shabbos. The safety aspect emerged as particularly compelling.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, during a visit with Israeli forces stationed in northern Gaza, declared that Hamas would continue to face escalating military pressure.
“We insist that it release our hostages, and we insist on achieving all our war aims,” Netanyahu told the troops, as military drones buzzed in the skies above.
Netanyahu also held up a printed copy of a social media message from Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, pointing out that the post included another call for the destruction of Israel.
“He is doing this during negotiations with the Americans,” Netanyahu noted, referring to the recently initiated nuclear discussions between the U.S. and Iran that kicked off in Oman last weekend—talks that Israel has long viewed with deep suspicion.

The man accused of setting fire to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s official residence told authorities he was motivated by the governor’s alleged intentions toward Palestinians, newly released documents reveal.
According to a search warrant obtained by PennLive, Cody Balmer called 911 after carrying out the attack early Sunday morning, identified himself by name, and made a pointed statement directed at Shapiro during the call.
Court records show that Balmer, 38, claimed that Shapiro, who had participated in a Pesach Seder just hours before the incident, needed to understand that the caller “will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.”

[Video below.] Joe Biden, during his first public appearance since leaving the White House, sparked backlash Tuesday by using the term “colored kids” while recounting a childhood memory that he said inspired his political journey.
Speaking about his family’s move from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware, Biden, 82, remarked that prior to relocating, he had “never seen hardly any black people.” Recalling the experience, he said, “I was only going in fourth grade,” as he described a moment when his mother drove him to Catholic school. “And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called ‘colored kids,’ on a bus go by — they never turned right to go to Claymont High School.”

The Trump administration has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James for criminal prosecution, accusing her of mortgage fraud related to property purchases dating back decades. According to documents obtained by Fox News, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. FHFA Director William Pulte alleged that James falsified records to secure favorable loan terms for two properties. The first involves a Virginia property James allegedly claimed as her principal residence in 2023, despite serving as New York’s attorney general, a role requiring New York residency.
