 Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao on Tuesday urged Japanese business leaders to “join hands” with Beijing, as the world’s second-largest economy remains engaged in a tariff war with the United States following President Donald Trump’s return to the White House last month.

In talks with a Japanese business delegation led by Masakazu Tokura, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, known as Keidanren, and other officials, Wang called for a “rules-based settlement” of the trade conflict between Beijing and Washington, apparently referring to a mechanism under the World Trade Organization.

The world’s two largest economies imposed additional tariffs on each other’s imports earlier this month, with China also filing a complaint with the WTO over the new U.S. duties.

Ahead of Germany’s general election on Sunday, a significant number of potential voters remain on the fence, raising the prospect of last-minute swings that could shape the final outcome.

Twenty percent of potential voters will decide who they will vote for in the final days before the election, according to a YouGov poll conducted for the German Press Agency. That includes 7 percent who said they will decide on the day of the election.

Traditional news sources remain the primary source of election information, according to the survey; 63 percent of voters said they get their information from television, newspapers, radio, and online news portals. Conversations with family, friends, and colleagues also play an important role, with 42 percent of respondents relying on personal discussions to shape their decision.

According to the left, everything bad is a result of Trump and DOGE. This includes things that don’t even happen in America, such as the plane crash in Canada.

Firstly, we don’t know what happened yet, as the investigation has not been completed. However, this won’t stop the left from ignoring the fact that this happened in Canadian Airspace with Canadian officials in control.

These same people also turned a blind eye when the Biden Administration mocked aviation safety and glorified hiring people based on insignificant traits that have nothing to do with merit. So while CNN would love for you to believe this has everything to do with Trump and DOGE, that could not be further from the truth, as their disingenuous concerns are nothing more than a chance to bash government transparency and efficiency.

According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, “No air traffic controllers have been let go by Secretary Duffy or this new administration.” However, the left does not like it when facts get in the way of their made-up narrative, which is why they would rather blame Musk and anything but Canadian air traffic controllers.

At least 31 people have died after a bus crash in Bolivia, police have said.

An officer said the driver appeared to have lost control of the vehicle, causing it to drop more than 2,600 ft (800m) off a precipice in the southwestern area of Yocalla.

Among the injured, 10 adults and four children were taken to hospital, with several in intensive care, a healthcare official said.

The mountainous route the vehicle was on has lots of twists and turns, the police officer said, adding that speed could have been another factor in the accident.
