The video highlights historical instances of alleged US economic aggression, contrasting this with China’s portrayal as a reliable trade partner. It calls on nations to stand firm against US hegemony, refusing to concede to what it describes as unsustainable US tariffs. Despite ongoing US trade talks with other countries, China asserts it will not back down, framing the conflict as a fight for global justice. The video concludes by characterizing the US as a relatively insignificant player in global trade, ultimately a “paper tiger.”

President Trump signed an executive order aiming to utilize military assets to bolster domestic law enforcement, instructing the Attorney General and Defense Secretary to explore options for employing military personnel, training, and resources in crime prevention. This action has drawn criticism for potentially violating the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which restricts the military’s role in domestic law enforcement. The order also includes provisions to protect law enforcement officers from misconduct accusations and crack down on officials hindering their work. This follows a previous order authorizing military control of the southern border for immigration enforcement.

A recent Rasmussen Reports poll indicates President Trump’s approval rating has fallen seven points this month, to 47 percent approval and 51 percent disapproval. This decline is attributed to negative public reaction to his policies on tariffs and immigration, with concerns rising about potential economic consequences and due process violations. Experts suggest this drop could significantly harm Republican prospects in upcoming elections, potentially leading to substantial losses in Congress and impacting the 2028 presidential race. While Rasmussen’s poll shows higher approval than other recent surveys, the trend suggests weakening support for the president.

Russian state media, including television channels Russia-1 and Channel One, and news agencies TASS and RIA Novosti, selectively reported on Donald Trump’s recent statements. While highlighting Trump’s observations on Zelenskyy’s apparent willingness to negotiate and potentially cede Crimea, they omitted Trump’s direct criticism of Putin, including his calls for the Russian leader to cease hostilities and negotiate a peace deal. This selective reporting extended to pro-Kremlin newspapers and online outlets, consistently excluding Trump’s condemnation of Putin’s actions. This censorship began as early as April 24th, following a deadly missile strike in Kyiv.
