  • Beijing warns countries against striking a deal with the U.S. at China’s expense

    Beijing warns countries against striking a deal with the U.S. at China’s expense


    BEIJING — China on Monday accused Washington of abusing tariffs and warned countries against striking a broader economic deal with the United States at its expense, ratcheting up its rhetoric in a spiraling trade war between the world’s two biggest economies.

    Beijing will firmly oppose any party striking a deal at China’s expense and “will take countermeasures in a resolute and reciprocal manner,” its Commerce Ministry said.

    The ministry was responding to a Bloomberg report, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the Trump administration is preparing to pressure nations seeking tariff reductions or exemptions from the U.S. to curb trade with China, including imposing monetary sanctions.

    President Donald Trump paused the sweeping tariffs he announced on dozens of countries on April 2 except those on China, singling out the world’s second largest economy for the biggest levies.

    In a series of moves, Washington has raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%, prompting Beijing to slap retaliatory duties of 125% on U.S. goods, effectively erecting trade embargoes against each other. Last week, China signaled that its own across-the-board rates would not rise further.

    “The United States has abused tariffs on all trading partners under the banner of so-called ‘equivalence’, while also forcing all parties to start so-called ‘reciprocal tariffs’ negotiations with them,” the ministry spokesperson said.

    China is determined and capable of safeguarding its own rights and interests, and is willing to strengthen solidarity with all parties, the ministry said.

    “The fact is, nobody wants to pick a side,” said Bo Zhengyuan, partner at China-based policy consultancy Plenum.

    “If countries have high reliance on China in terms of investment, industrial infrastructure, technology know-how and consumption, I don’t think they’ll be buying into U.S. demands. Many Southeast Asian countries belong to this category.”

    Pursuing a hardline stance, Beijing will this week convene an informal United Nations Security Council meeting to accuse Washington of bullying and “casting a shadow over the global efforts for peace and development” by weaponizing tariffs.

    Earlier this month, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said nearly 50 countries have approached him to discuss the steep additional tariffs imposed by Trump.

    Several bilateral talks on tariffs have taken place since, with Japan considering raising soybean and rice imports as part of its talks with the U.S. while Indonesia is planning to increase U.S. food and commodities imports and reduce orders from other nations.

    Caught in Crossfire

    Trump’s tariff policies have rattled financial markets as investors fear a severe disruption in world trade could tip the global economy into recession.

    On Monday, Chinese stocks inched higher, showing little reaction to the commerce ministry comments, though investors have generally remained cautious on Chinese assets due to the rising growth risks.

    The Trump administration also has been trying to curb Beijing’s progress in developing advanced semiconductor chips which it says could be used for military purposes, and last week imposed port fees on China-built vessels to limit China’s dominance in shipbuilding.

    AI chip giant Nvidia said last week it would take $5.5 billion in charges due to the administration’s curbs on AI chip exports.

    China’s President Xi Jinping visited three Southeast Asian countries last week in a move to bolster regional ties, calling on trade partners to oppose unilateral bullying.

    Beijing has said it is “tearing down walls” and expanding its circle of trading partners amid the trade row.

    The stakes are high for Southeast Asian nations caught in the crossfire of the Sino-U.S. tariff war, particularly given the regional ASEAN bloc’s huge two-way trade with both China and the United States.

    Economic ministers from Thailand and Indonesia are currently in the United States, with Malaysia set to join later this week, all seeking trade negotiations.

    Six countries in Southeast Asia were hit with tariffs ranging from 32% to 49%, threatening trade-reliant economies that have benefited from investment from levies imposed on Beijing by Trump in his first term.

    ASEAN is China’s largest trading partner, with total trade value reaching $234 billion in the first quarter of 2025, China’s customs agency said last week.

    Trade between ASEAN and the U.S. totalled around $476.8 billion in 2024, according to U.S. figures, making Washington the regional bloc’s fourth-largest trading partner.

    “There are no winners in trade wars and tariff wars,” Xi said in an article published in Vietnamese media, without mentioning the United States.

  • Parents of toddler who walked Arizona wilderness and was led to safety by rancher’s dog call it a ‘miracle’

    Parents of toddler who walked Arizona wilderness and was led to safety by rancher’s dog call it a ‘miracle’


    The parents of a 2-year-old boy who spent a night alone in the Arizona wilderness and was led to safety by a local rancher’s dog are calling the ordeal “a miracle.”

    Bowden Allen disappeared from his home in Seligman, Arizona, at around 5 p.m. on Monday. The toddler’s father, Cory Allen, was working on the home’s roof, while his mother, Sarah Allen, was caring for their one-year-old, NBC affiliate KPNX-TV reported.

    Sarah said she heard her older child walk out of the home, but when she called for him, he didn’t answer, triggering a panicked search.

    “It started — getting more intense every minute,” Cory said about the search for his son.

    The couple called in family for help, and eventually contacted the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, kicking off a search effort comprising more than 40 rescuers and a Department of Public Safety helicopter that spotted two mountain lions in the area.

    But as the sun set, there was still no sign of Bowden.

    “I didn’t even know how to process,” Sarah said. “I looked at his empty bed in the middle of the night, and I’m like this isn’t real, he’s not — how is he not here? How is he out by himself somewhere in the dark?”

    Around 16 hours later, rancher Scotty Dunton said he found Bowden on his land after his dog, Buford, led him there. Dunton’s property is 7 miles away from the toddler’s home.

    According to Dunton, Buford, an Anatolian Pyrenees, found Bowden sleeping under a tree, KPNX-TV reported. The toddler was found with a few scratches on his arm.

    “I feel like God sent that dog to rescue my son,” Cory told the outlet about Buford.

  • 60,000 Americans to lose their rental assistance and risk eviction unless Congress acts

    60,000 Americans to lose their rental assistance and risk eviction unless Congress acts



    Moments after Daniris Espinal walked into her new apartment in Brooklyn, she prayed. In ensuing nights, she would awaken and touch the walls for reassurance — finding in them a relief that turned to tears over her morning coffee.

    Those walls were possible through a federal program that pays rent for some 60,000 families and individuals fleeing homelessness or domestic violence. Espinal was fleeing both.

    But the program, Emergency Housing Vouchers, is running out of money — and quickly.

    Funding is expected to be used up by the end of next year, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and obtained by The Associated Press. That would leave tens of thousands across the country scrambling to pay their rent.

    It would be among the largest one-time losses of rental assistance in the U.S., analysts say, and the ensuing evictions could churn these people — after several years of rebuilding their lives — back onto the street or back into abusive relationships.

    “To have it stop would completely upend all the progress that they’ve made,” said Sonya Acosta, policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which researches housing assistance.

    “And then you multiply that by 59,000 households,” she said.

    The program, launched in 2021 by then-President Joe Biden as part of the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan Act, was allocated $5 billion to help pull people out of homelessness, domestic violence and human trafficking.

    People from San Francisco to Dallas to Tallahassee, Florida, were enrolled — among them children, seniors and veterans — with the expectation that funding would last until the end of the decade.

    But with the ballooning cost of rent, that $5 billion will end far faster.

    Last month, HUD sent letters to groups dispersing the money, advising them to “manage your EHV program with the expectation that no additional funding from HUD will be forthcoming.”

    The program’s future rests with Congress, which could decide to add money as it crafts the federal budget. But it’s a relatively expensive prospect at a time when Republicans, who control Congress, are dead set on cutting federal spending to afford tax cuts.

    Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, who championed the program four years ago, is pushing for another $8 billion infusion.

    But the organizations lobbying Republican and Democratic lawmakers to reup the funding told the AP they aren’t optimistic. Four GOP lawmakers who oversee the budget negotiations did not respond to AP requests for comment.

    “We’ve been told it’s very much going to be an uphill fight,” said Kim Johnson, the public policy manager at the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

    Espinal and her two daughters, aged 4 and 19, are living on one of those vouchers in a three-bedroom apartment with an over $3,000 monthly rent — an amount extremely difficult to cover without the voucher.

    Four years ago, Espinal fought her way out of a marriage where her husband controlled her decisions, from seeing her family and friends to leaving the apartment to go shopping.

    When she spoke up, her husband said she was wrong, or in the wrong or crazy.

    Isolated and in the haze of postpartum depression, she didn’t know what to believe. “Every day, little by little, I started to feel not like myself,” she said. “It felt like my mind wasn’t mine.”

    When notices arrived in March 2021 seeking about $12,000 in back rent, it was a shock. Espinal had quit her job at her husband’s urging and he had promised to cover family expenses.

    Police reports documenting her husband’s bursts of anger were enough for a judge to give her custody of their daughter in 2022, Espinal said.

    But her future was precarious: She was alone, owed thousands of dollars in back rent and had no income to pay it or support her newborn and teenage daughters.

    Financial aid to prevent evictions during the pandemic kept Espinal afloat, paying her back rent and keeping the family out of shelters. But it had an expiration date.

    Around that time, the Emergency Housing Vouchers program was rolled out, targeting people in Espinal’s situation.

    A “leading cause of family homelessness is domestic violence” in New York City, said Gina Cappuccitti, director of housing access and stability services at New Destiny Housing, a nonprofit that has connected 700 domestic violence survivors to the voucher program.

    Espinal was one of those 700, and moved into her Brooklyn apartment in 2023.

    The relief went beyond finding a secure place to live, she said. “I gained my worth, my sense of peace, and I was able to rebuild my identity.”

    Now, she said, she’s putting aside money in case of the worst. Because, “that’s my fear, losing control of everything that I’ve worked so hard for.”

  • Service members killed in border crash were California-based U.S. Marines

    Service members killed in border crash were California-based U.S. Marines


    SAN DIEGO — Two service members killed during a border security mission in New Mexico last week were identified as U.S. Marines based at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County.

    The 1st Marine Division identified them as Lance Cpl. Albert A. Aguilera, 22, of Riverside, California, and Lance Cpl. Marcelino M. Gamino, 28, of Fresno, California. 

    They were pronounced dead at University Medical Center of El Paso, Texas, the division said in a statement. A third Marine injured alongside them was in critical condition at the medical center, it said.

    The three were in a vehicle that was a part of a caravan when it crashed Tuesday morning, the division said.

    The crash in an area just north of El Paso was reported shortly before 9 a.m. on New Mexico’s Highway 9 near the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station in Santa Teresa, NBC affiliate KTSM of El Paso reported.

    The Marines were part of the military’s Joint Task Force Southern Border, which seeks to increase security along the U.S.-Mexico border. This year U.S. forces there came under consolidated military command after President Donald Trump declared an emergency and tapped the defense budget for the effort.

    The 1st Marine Division said in a statement that Aguilera and Gamino were combat engineers with the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion at Camp Pendleton. Gamino was decorated with the National Defense Service Medal and a Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.

    He deployed to Darwin, Australia, as part of a rotational force last year, the division said.

    Last month, nearly 3,000 active-duty troops were deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of Trump’s effort to halt migrant and drug traffic.

    Trump has not commented formally on the Marines’ deaths.

    Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, who represents El Paso, said in a statement: “I am saddened by the loss of two U.S. service members who were killed in yesterday’s accident in Santa Teresa. I’m praying that the third service member who remains in serious condition recovers, and I’m thinking of the families of all involved.”

    Marine Lt. Col. Tyrone A. Barrion, commander of the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, said in the 1st Marine Division statement that the loss of the two lance corporals “is deeply felt” in the military branch.

    “I extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to the families of our fallen brothers,” he said. “Our top priority right now is to ensure that their families, and the Marines affected by their passing, are fully supported during this difficult time.”

    The cause of the crash remained under investigation, the division said.

  • Hegseth shared information ahead of Yemen strikes in a Signal chat with wife and brother

    Hegseth shared information ahead of Yemen strikes in a Signal chat with wife and brother



    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his personal phone to send information about U.S. military operations in Yemen to a 13-person Signal group chat, including his wife and his brother, two sources with knowledge of the matter confirmed to NBC News.  

    He did so after an aide had warned him to be careful not to share sensitive information on an unsecure communications system before the Yemen operation, the sources said. 

    The development comes about a month after it became public that Hegseth shared details of strikes in Yemen in a separate Signal chat with top administration officials. The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was mistakenly added to that chain. 

    The New York Times first reported the existence of the second Signal chat. 

    The Times cited four unnamed sources. Some of them, the Times reported, said the information Hegseth sent in the second chat — such as the flight schedule of the FA-18 planes being used — appeared to be similar to information he had shared in the Signal chat reported by the editor of The Atlantic. One source confirmed that to NBC News.

    Sean Parnell, the chief Defense Department spokesman, denied that Hegseth had shared classified information. “There was no classified information in any Signal chat,” he said on X.

    Anna Kelly, a White House deputy press secretary, played down the significance of the second group chat.  

    “No matter how many times the legacy media tries to resurrect the same non-story, they can’t change the fact that no classified information was shared,” she said in a statement. 

    Thirteen people were in the second Signal group chat, but no other Cabinet-level officials were included, the two sources said.

    Participants included Joe Kasper, Hegseth’s chief of staff; Darin Selnick, his deputy chief of staff; Eric Geressy, a retired Army sergeant major and Hegseth adviser; Tim Parlatore, a legal adviser to Hegseth and a Navy commander in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps; Hegseth’s brother, Phil, senior adviser to Hegseth for the Department of Homeland Security; and Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, according to the two sources. 

    In March, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, was mistakenly added to a Signal chat with multiple national security leaders, on which Hegseth shared operational plans for striking military targets in Yemen before they occurred. That chat is now the subject of an investigation by the Defense Department’s inspector general. 

    In both instances, Hegseth used his personal phone, rather than his official one, the two sources said. 

    Hegseth came under scrutiny last month after it was revealed that his wife, a former Fox News producer, attended sensitive Defense Department meetings with British and NATO leaders. Jennifer Hegseth is not a Pentagon employee. 

    Hegseth’s brother, Phil, is employed in the Pentagon as a Department of Homeland Security adviser to Hegseth— but it is not clear why he or Jennifer Hegseth would need to know or be privy to information about the military strikes in Yemen. 

    Recent turnover in Pentagon

    The Defense Department has had heavy turnover in the past week. Two of Hegseth’s top advisers, Dan Caldwell and Selnick, were escorted out of the Pentagon early last week in connection with an investigation of allegations of a leak of sensitive information.  

    The official who announced the investigation into the supposed leak weeks ago, Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, left his role at the Pentagon late last week, Politico reported. And Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense, was also forced out late last week. 

    Caldwell, Selnick and Carroll said in a joint social media statement Saturday saying that did not know why they were being investigated, saying, “Unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.” 

    Democrats reacted quickly to Sunday’s news. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., posted on X that Hegseth “must be fired.” 

    “The details keep coming out,” Schumer said. “We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk. But Trump is still too weak to fire him.”  

    Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said on X: “The latest story about Pete Hegseth’s carelessness with sensitive information is yet another alarming example in this administration’s unbroken pattern of incompetence. He should resign.” 

    Sen Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a military veteran, called Hegseth “a threat to our national security” in a statement.

    “Every day he stays in his job is another day our troops’ lives are endangered,” she said.

  • ‘Total chaos at the Pentagon’

    ‘Total chaos at the Pentagon’



    WASHINGTON — An aide to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth published an op-ed Sunday in which he was highly critical ofcriticized his former boss and suggested that President Donald Trump might soon remove Hegseth following weeks of turmoildrama, including leaked texts about airstrikes in Yemen and the abrupt firings of top officials.

    “It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, who had been a top spokesman at the Pentagon before leaving his job there last week, wrote in Politico. “From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership. 

    “President Donald Trump has a strong record of holding his officials to account. Given that, it’s hard to see Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remaining in his position for much longer.” 

    The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Ullyot, who worked in the first Trump administration as well, also noted the firings of several top Pentagon officials in the last several days. On Friday, according to Ullyot, Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, was removed from his position following the firings of several other senior aides to Hegseth including deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and senior advisor Dan Caldwell as well as the chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense, Colin Carroll. (Selnick, Caldwell and Carroll issued a statement on Saturday in which they said, “We are incredibly disappointed by the manner in which our service at the Department of Defense ended. Unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.”)

    “In the aftermath [of the firings], Defense Department officials working for Hegseth tried to smear the aides anonymously to reporters, claiming they were fired for leaking sensitive information as part of an investigation ordered earlier this month,” Ullyot wrote. “Yet none of this is true.” 

    Ullyot stated that he was not part of the purge, but opted to leave the Pentagon when he turned down a position Hegseth had offered to him. 

    He described himself in the piece as loyal to Hegseth, but also noted a series of unforced errors by his former boss. 

    “[E]ven strong backers of the secretary like me must admit: the last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon — and it’s becoming a real problem for the administration.” 

    The op-ed was published within hours of an article in the New York Times reporting that Hegseth used his personal phone to send information regarding U.S. military operations in Yemen to a Signal group chat including his wife, brother and personal lawyer. Two sources with knowledge confirmed that reporting to NBC News.

  • Shooting on subway platform leads to Harvard students sheltering in place

    Shooting on subway platform leads to Harvard students sheltering in place



    CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Transit police in Boston were investigating a shooting on a subway platform at Harvard University on Sunday that prompted the school to issue a shelter-in-place order for students and staff.

    Authorities temporarily rerouted passengers on part of the city’s subway system to shuttle buses as officers from various departments searched for a suspect.

    Richard Sullivan, superintendent of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority Transit Police Department, said in an email that a man armed with a gun fired four to five rounds at a “targeted individual” on the southbound platform at the Harvard Square station, according to a preliminary investigation. The suspect then fled the station.

    There is no evidence the targeted person or anyone else was injured, he said.

    Police were alerted to a report of shots fired around 2:15 p.m. A message was later sent to the Harvard community, urging people to shelter in the nearest building until further notice and that police were searching the area around the busy station, which is near the school’s main campus in Cambridge.

    The message, which was posted on Harvard’s website, was removed later Sunday afternoon.
