US President ⁠Donald Trump posted on Saturday ⁠that he disagrees with his ⁠own Justice Department’s findings that a flawed installation, not vandalism, caused the lining of the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington to peel. “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of ‌Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. “I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM.” In a court filing on Friday, Pirro and Assistant US Attorney Michael Spence asked a judge to drop the Trump administration’s case against David Hearn, 67, a ⁠former Olympian […]

WTO |

The seasonally adjusted volume of world merchandise trade grew 1.9% in the first quarter compared to the previous quarter and 3.2% compared to the same quarter in the previous year according to recent WTO/UNCTAD data (downloadable from stats.wto.org). In value terms, world merchandise trade was up 2% quarter-on-quarter and 11% year-on-year in the first quarter (see Chart 1). The pace of year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2026 was particularly impressive considering that trade in the first quarter of 2025 was boosted by the frontloading of imports in North America ahead of expected tariff hikes. Strong trade in electronic components related to AI outweighed the negative effects of the […]

US adds 43 Chinese companies to Uygur forced labour blacklist

The White House on Friday added 43 Chinese companies to a blacklist that is meant to block imports made with alleged forced labour in Xinjiang, marking the third time this week Washington has announced measures aimed at China.

The UFLPA was passed by Congress in 2021 to target imports from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in western China and to prevent goods produced under alleged forced labour conditions from entering the US market.

Trump weighs US$100,000 fee for foreign students to work in US after graduation

The Trump administration is weighing a plan to charge international students US$100,000 to stay in the country and work after graduating, according to a person familiar with the matter, in a potentially devastating move for student visa holders already squeezed by recent immigration crackdowns. The person familiar spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. A White House official said there was no imminent policy change, but did not deny the proposal was under consideration. If implemented, the fee would put a popular postgraduate visa extension out of reach for many students. The extension, called Optional Practical Training, is a core aspect of the international student pipeline in the […]
