Head-of-state diplomacy has provided crucial guidance for the development of Sino-US relations. It was the telephone talks between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart on June 5 that enabled the two countries to keep their trade relations on the right track through their talks in London along with other efforts.国家元首层面的外交为中美关系的发展提供了至关重要的指导。正是6月5日习主席与美国总统之间的电话会谈，使得两国能够在伦敦举行的会谈以及其他一系列努力的共同作用下，将双边贸易关系维持在正轨上。China has been faithfully implementing its part of the outcomes from the framework reached during the London talks. This has laid a foundation for their talks in Stockholm from Sunday to Wednesday.中国一直切实履行了伦敦会谈所达成协议内容中的自身应尽之责。这为从本周日到周三在斯德哥尔摩举行的会谈奠定了基础。Nonetheless, optimism should be tempered. After making initial progress in their negotiations in Geneva and London, the talks in the Swedish capital are likely to address some tough nuts. Not to mention the US has threatened to impose so-called "secondary sanctions" on economies trading with Russia citing the Ukraine crisis. The US also claims to have reached deals with some economies that reportedly contain China-targeted clauses, in an apparent bid to provide itself with more leverages in future trade talks with China.不过，这种乐观情绪还是应该有所收敛。在日内瓦和伦敦的谈判初期取得了进展之后，瑞典首都的谈判可能会触及一些棘手的问题。更不用说美国还威胁要对与俄罗斯进行贸易的经济体实施所谓的“次级制裁”，理由是乌克兰危机。此外，美国还声称已与一些经济体达成协议，这些协议据说包含针对中国的条款，显然是为了在未来的与中国的贸易谈判中为自己争取更多筹码。These issues might not be avoidable in the Stockholm talks, but they must not be impassable barriers if the two sides are to move forward toward the common goal of straightening out their economic and trade relations.这些问题在斯德哥尔摩的谈判中或许难以完全避免，但倘若双方要朝着改善经济和贸易关系这一共同目标迈进，那么这些问题绝不能成为无法逾越的障碍。To create the necessary conditions to ensure the forthcoming talks remain solution-oriented, the two negotiating teams should implement the common understanding the two leaders have reached, which is necessary to guarantee their discussions focus on what really matters in their economic and trade relations.为确保即将举行的谈判始终以解决问题为导向，双方谈判团队应落实两位领导人在会谈中达成的共识，这一共识对于确保双方讨论聚焦于其经济和贸易关系中的真正关键问题至关重要。As President Xi pointed out in his talks with US President Donald Trump last month, for the smooth sailing of China-US relations it is particularly important that the two sides steer clear of disturbances and disruptions.正如习主席上个月与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会谈时所指出的那样，为了使中美关系能够顺利发展，双方务必避免出现干扰和破坏的情况。Since the two countries have made some progress in their previous talks, they should continue to make good use of the economic and trade consultation mechanism already in place, and seek win-win results in the spirit of equality and respect for each other's concerns, as agreed by the two leaders.鉴于两国在之前的会谈中已取得了一定进展，他们应当继续充分利用现有的经济和贸易协商机制。并且按照两位领导所达成的共识，本着平等和尊重彼此关切的原则，寻求双赢的结果。China has always focused on doing its own things well in its quest for high-quality development, high-standard opening-up and innovation-driven growth.中国一直致力于在自身发展过程中做到最好，以实现高质量发展、高标准开放以及创新驱动型增长。That also provides new opportunities for foreign companies and investors, including those from the US. A recent report by the US-China Business Council suggests that 82 percent of US companies in China reported making a profit last year, underscoring the common interests and potential for cooperation that exist between the two countries.这也为外国公司和投资者（包括来自美国的公司和投资者）提供了新的机遇。美国中国商会近期发布的一份报告指出，82%在华的美国公司去年实现了盈利，这凸显了中美两国之间存在的共同利益以及合作的潜力。That the country's total goods imports and exports in yuan-denominated terms rose to 21.79 trillion yuan ($3.05 trillion) in the first half of 2025, up 2.9 percent year-on-year despite the overall world trade being lackluster clearly shows that China is enhancing its capability to resist the headwinds of protectionism and unilateralism.2025年上半年，该国以人民币计价的货物进出口总额达到21.79万亿元（约合3.05万亿美元），同比增长2.9%，尽管全球贸易总体表现不佳，但这一数据表明中国正在增强抵御保护主义和单边主义逆风的能力。So in the process of recalibrating bilateral trade relations, the US side should rationally view China's development, and recognize the cooperative nature of bilateral relations. It should meet China halfway in that direction in the negotiations.因此，在重新调整双边贸易关系的过程中，美方应当理性看待中国的发展，并认识到双边关系的互利性质。在谈判中，美方应当朝着这个方向做出适当让步。To that end, more efforts should be made to guard against the potential disruptions that may pop up from time to time to prevent them from derailing the mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries.为此，应当付出更多努力来防范可能出现的随时可能出现的潜在干扰因素，以防止它们破坏两国之间的互利合作。China is sincere and principled about its cooperation with the US, and it always honors and delivers what has been promised.中国在与美国的合作中秉持着真诚且坚定的原则，并且始终会履行所作出的承诺。For the overall benefit of Sino-US ties, both sides should make good on the agreements reached in Geneva and London, and carry on the practical momentum by enhancing communication in such fields as foreign affairs, economy and trade, and law enforcement to consolidate the consensus, clear up misunderstandings, and strengthen collaboration.为了中美关系的整体利益，双方都应切实履行在日内瓦和伦敦达成的协议，并通过加强外交、经济贸易和执法等领域的沟通来保持当前的良好势头，以巩固共识、消除误解并加强合作。 bilateral trade relationsn.双边贸易关系/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl treɪd rɪˈleɪʃnz/win-win resultsn.双赢结果/ˌwɪnˈwɪn rɪˈzʌlts/

Beijing and Washington are set to hold the third round of trade talks in Sweden, a positive development that analysts said will not only help the world's two largest economies steady their ties, but also inject much-needed certainty into the global economy.北京和华盛顿将于在瑞典举行第三轮贸易谈判，这一进展受到了分析人士的肯定。他们认为，此次谈判不仅有助于世界上最大的两个经济体稳固彼此关系，还将为全球经济注入急需的确定性。Vice-Premier He Lifeng will be in Sweden from Sunday to Tuesday to hold economic and trade talks with United States officials, as agreed upon by both sides, the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.北京和华盛顿将于在瑞典举行第三轮贸易谈判，这一进展受到了分析人士的肯定。他们认为，此次谈判不仅有助于世界上最大的两个经济体稳固彼此关系，还将为全球经济注入急需的确定性。The two sides will fully leverage their economic and trade consultation mechanism and continue consultations on issues of mutual concern in the spirit of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, the ministry added.该部门补充道：“双方将充分利用其经济与贸易磋商机制，并本着相互尊重、和平共处以及互利共赢的精神，继续就彼此关心的问题进行磋商。”Ahead of the ministry's announcement, China's top market regulator said on Tuesday that it has suspended a probe into DuPont China Holding Co — a subsidiary of the US firm DuPont — over the company's suspected violation of the nation's anti-monopoly law.在该部门宣布相关决定之前，中国最高市场监管部门于周二表示，已暂停对杜邦中国控股有限公司（美国杜邦公司的子公司）的调查。此次调查是因该公司涉嫌违反中国反垄断法而展开的。Since mid-May, top negotiators from Beijing and Washington have already engaged in two rounds of trade talks, in Geneva and London.自五月中旬以来，北京和华盛顿的高级谈判代表已在日内瓦和伦敦进行了两轮贸易谈判。The two countries agreed to a 90-day pause in their triple-digit tariffs. Additionally, Beijing has approved applications for the eligible export of rare earth elements to the US, while Washington has, in turn, slashed its restrictive measures against China.两国同意暂时暂停征收高达三位数的关税，为期90天。此外，北京已批准符合条件的稀土元素向美国的出口申请，而华盛顿方面也相应地降低了对中国的限制措施。Outbound shipments of rare earth magnets from China to the US surged to 353 metric tons in June, a 660 percent increase from the previous month's level, according to data released on Sunday by the General Administration of Customs.据海关总署周日发布的数据，6月份中国向美国出口的稀土磁体数量猛增至353吨，较上月增长了660%。Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said: "The interests of China and the US are deeply intertwined. Both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation."中国社会科学院北京分院的研究员高凌云表示：“中美两国的利益紧密相连。双方都从合作中获益，而在对抗中则会受损。”It's in the best interests of both countries to enhance mutual understanding and manage their differences through equal dialogue, Gao said, adding that a sound and steady China-US relationship will also contribute to the recovery of the world economy.高表示，两国增进相互理解、通过平等对话来管控分歧，这符合两国的共同利益。他还指出，稳固且持续的中美关系也将有助于全球经济的复苏。trade talksn.贸易谈判/treɪd tɔːks/rare earth elementsn.稀土元素/reə(r) ɜːθ ˈelɪmənts/

In this episode we chat with Shanghai-based author and editor Jacob Dreyer, a China watcher who writes with great insight and nuance about the shifting landscape of China-US relations. We touch on questions such as: Is the China model of governance outperforming Western liberal democracy? Is China winning the AI and technology wars? (Spoiler alert: That ship has sailed.) How do the architecture and logic of surveillance and information control systems differ between the U.S. and China? Is the current China-US geopolitical chill drifting toward a hot war? And finally, we unpack the question posed in Jacob's guest op-ed in the New York Times: Is Trump's America beginning to look more like China?

Today, we continue our series on China-US climate cooperation and look at how the world's two largest emitters are including carbon capture and storage in their overall strategy to combat climate change. But will their decade-long cooperation unlock solutions or spark new controversies?

The future of China-United States relations lies with young people, President Xi Jinping said in a recent reply to teachers and students of the US youth pickleball cultural exchange delegation from the US state of Maryland. In April, the delegation from public schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, visited China for pickleball exchanges as part of the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China over a five-year span for exchange and study programs. The delegation later wrote a letter to Xi, thanking him for proposing the study and exchange initiative, which was first announced by Xi during his trip to the US in 2023.In the letter, the delegation members described their experiences during their visit to China and their participation in the pickleball exchange program. They said the trip enabled them to forge unforgettable friendships with their Chinese counterparts and that they hope to invite Chinese youths to visit the US.In his reply, Xi congratulated them on the success of their visit to China and said he is very happy to see pickleball become a new bond bridging the youths of China and the US. Xi said that he hopes the delegation members will become a new generation of ambassadors of friendship between the two nations and make greater contributions to enhancing the friendship between the two peoples.Pickleball, a rapidly growing sport in the US, is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis. From April 10 to 20, the delegation of 44 students and teachers from 13 schools in Montgomery County visited Shanghai, Shenzhen in Guangdong province, and Beijing, according to Xinhua News Agency. "Through pickleball, it is very easy to make friends. It's great for creating bonds that will last forever," Ryan Corkery, a student with the delegation, told Chinese reporters during the trip. "This journey has been amazing," he added. "We have tasted so many new foods, had so many new experiences, everything is just fantastic."Ian Harper, another student with the delegation, said: "It is awesome just seeing both how different everything here is and how much similar it is. I think both of those were really shocking to me. It has been just an incredible, life-changing, amazing, awesome experience."As part of his consistent support for China-US youth exchanges, President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, replied on Jan 1 to a Chinese New Year greeting card from teachers and students of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, extending best wishes for the Year of the Dragon. Xie Feng, Chinese ambassador to the US, told a cultural event on Jan 11 that nearly 15,000 youths from all 50 US states and Washington, DC, had so far visited China under the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China for exchanges. From Wednesday to July 18, Fu­zhou, the capital of Fujian province, and Beijing will provide venues for the Bond with Kuliang: 2025 China-US Youth Choir Festival — another major China-US youth exchange event. The event is expected to bring together outstanding choirs from China and the US, including over 500 young people from US states including Utah, Washington and California.

Today, we continue our series on China-US climate cooperation with the second half of NewsChina's interview with Former US Climate Envoy Todd Stern. This time, he explains how cross-cultural friendship helped push the Paris Agreement forward, and he brings us up to date on the Sunnylands Statement that was announced in 2023.

Arthur Kroeber is a leading researcher on Chinese tech and macro, a founding partner at Gavekal Dragonomics, and author of "China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know." It's the most useful, detailed resource I've found of how China actually works.On this episode, we discuss how China achieved high-tech manufacturing dominance, and where they'll go from here. By Arthur's account, the Chinese government is like a giant VC fund: they decide on key priorities and then spend hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing ruthless competition at the local level. They are willing to lose huge amounts of money for a few of their bets to pay off: at China's scale, effectiveness matters more than efficiency.There's also a growing bipartisan consensus that we need to combat China's rise. This doesn't make much sense to me. China is a big, powerful country at the frontier in many fields, and its economy is intricately tied in with our own. Being instinctively adversarial is both unsustainable and risky. Arthur and I discuss how we can create a productive, mutually beneficial version of this relationship.Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Scale is building the infrastructure for smarter, safer AI.

We dive into the presently shifting capital flow dynamic with David Skilling, Founding Director, Landfall Strategy Group. David’s firm provides insights on global economic, geopolitical, and policy developments to firms, investors, and governments, so we begin by getting a sense of the mood of his clients. We then discuss if the ongoing geoeconomic instability is creating room for Europe and Asia to come closer, even with the China-US complications in place. We then delve into his recent publication, Capital Wars, in which he argues that efforts to rebalance global trade flows will contribute to structural change in global capital flows. We go region by region, from the US to Europe, UK to Japan, and then ending with South-East Asia, to take stock of the likely impact of greater competition for capital at the firm and national levels.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June 12, 2025 ~ Dr. Tim Nash, Director of the McNair Center for the Advancement of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship discusses the latest inflation report, gives his thoughts on the China/US trade deal frame work.

China and the United States have mapped out a framework to implement their previously reached consensus and bring bilateral trade ties to the right track after concluding two days of "candid and in-depth" talks in London, which analysts said would help de-escalate tensions between the world's two largest economies.While it might still require some patience before a final agreement is reached, analysts said the talks were a good sign in terms of steadying bilateral ties and injecting much-needed certainty into the world economy.He Lifeng, Chinese vice-premier and lead person for China-US economic and trade affairs, said the US should resolve trade disputes with China through equal dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation, Xinhua News Agency reported on Wednesday.He made the remarks during the first meeting under the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, which was held in London from Monday to Tuesday with US lead person Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.During the talks, the two sides reached an agreement in principle on implementing the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their phone call on June 5 and the framework of measures to consolidate the outcomes of the economic and trade talks held last month in Geneva, Switzerland.The trade talks in Geneva led to a temporary truce where China and the US agreed on a 90-day pause on their triple-digit tariffs to allow further negotiations.The White House, however, has since announced a range of negative measures with its new nontariff restrictions, including stopping sales of computer chip design software to China, warning against using chips made by Chinese tech company Huawei and canceling visas for Chinese students.In phone talks held at the request of US President Donald Trump on June 5, President Xi Jinping said the Chinese always honor and deliver what has been promised, urging both sides to make good on the agreement reached in Geneva.In fact, China has been seriously and earnestly executing the agreement, and the US side should acknowledge the progress already made, and remove the negative measures taken against China, Xi added.Ahead of this week's meeting in London, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Saturday that it had approved some applications for rare earth export licenses.Vice-Premier He noted that China's position and stance on China-US economic and trade issues are clear and consistent. The essence of China-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.Cooperation in the economic and trade realm brings benefits to both sides, while conflict hurts them both, He said, stressing that there are no winners in a trade war, and China does not wish to engage in one, but neither does it fear doing so.The US should work with China to honor its words with actions, and demonstrate sincerity in keeping commitments and concrete efforts to implement consensus, so as to jointly safeguard the hard-won outcomes of dialogue, He said.The two sides should maintain communication and consultation, and steer China-US economic and trade relations toward steady and sustained development, in order to inject more certainty and stability into the world economy, He added."The two largest economies in the world have reached a handshake for a framework," US Commerce Secretary Lutnick said. "Once the presidents approve it, we will then seek to implement it."The positive sentiments among Chinese and US negotiators point to a shared willingness to keep the trade talks afloat and strive for a comprehensive agreement that benefits both economies and the world at large.Gao Lingyun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said, "While the road ahead may not be completely smooth, both sides understand the need to navigate their differences and address each other's concerns carefully and responsibly."The progress made during this meeting is creating the conditions for a final agreement that serves the interests of both sides and the stability and prosperity of the global economy, Gao added.Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Studies, said: "The structural complexities behind the China-US relationship are undeniable. Yet, the core of the bilateral economic relationship between China and the US remains mutually beneficial.""Far from diminishing, the scope for shared interests between the two countries is widening amidst global turbulence," Diao said. "Seeking new avenues for cooperation isn't a concession; it's a strategic necessity for both Beijing and Washington."

President Xi Jinping has urged the United States to revoke the negative measures taken against China, and called for Sino-US exchanges across various fields such as diplomacy, trade and economy, military, and law enforcement, in order to foster mutual understanding, reduce miscalculation and enhance cooperation.Xi made the remarks on Thursday during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, which was held at Trump's request. This is the first time the two heads of state held phone talks since the US launched a tariff war on April 2.The US administration imposed high additional tariffs on China, prompting Beijing to take strong countermeasures. In May, the two sides held the first round of high-level economic and trade talks in Geneva, Switzerland, and reached an agreement to pause the implementation of the tariffs for 90 days to allow further negotiations.However, trade negotiations between China and the US were stalled shortly after the Geneva talks. Recently, the US announced imposing restrictions on advanced chip sales to China and revoked visas for Chinese students.During his phone talks with Trump on Thursday, Xi said that recalibrating the direction of the giant ship of China-US relations requires the two sides to take the helm and set the right course, adding that it is particularly important to steer clear of various disturbances and disruptions.He said the high-level trade talks in Geneva were a significant step toward resolving economic and trade issues through dialogue and negotiation, demonstrating that dialogue and cooperation are the only right choice for China and the US to address such issues.Xi called on both sides to make good use of established economic and trade consultation mechanisms, treat each other with equality, respect each other's concerns, and strive for win-win results. He reiterated China's sincerity and principled approach.Underscoring China's commitment to its words and actions, Xi said both sides should honor the agreement reached.China has diligently implemented the agreement following the Geneva talks, and the US side should objectively view the progress that has been made and revoke any negative measures imposed on China, he said.Xi also cautioned the US to handle the Taiwan question prudently, so that fringe separatists bent on "Taiwan independence "are not able to drag China and the US into the dangerous terrain of confrontation, or even conflict.Trump expressed his deep respect for Xi, highlighting the significance of US-China relations. He said the US welcomes China's robust economic growth and believes in the potential for fruitful cooperation between the two nations.Trump affirmed the US' adherence to the one-China policy.He acknowledged the success of the high-level economic and trade talks between the two countries in Geneva, saying the US is willing to work with China to implement the agreement.Trump also said that Chinese students are welcome to study in the US.Xi welcomed Trump to visit China again, for which Trump expressed his appreciation.Both leaders agreed that their teams should continue implementing the points of consensus reached in Geneva and promptly engage in another round of talks.

In this episode of world news… We give you the dope on the pope with special reports from BOTH Rome and Chicago, where the world's first US pontiff comes from. We'll also try to explain India and Pakistan's conflict – the aerial dogfight (which is not at all as cute as it sounds) and ceasefire. China and the US agree on some new, cheaper tariffs. The Australian dog lost on Kangaroo Island is trapped and found – confused? Don't worry, we'll tell you all. And we'll also tell you why those kooky Kiwis love the ugly blobfish. 

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Over a two-day summit in Geneva, U.S. and Chinese negotiators claimed initial consensus on a trade agreement, pausing escalated tariffs for 90 days to draft a comprehensive final implementing deal. Despite mutual praise for ‘substantial progress,' skeptics highlight China's history of unmet trade commitments since its 2001 WTO entry, urging caution before trusting any promises.

Dan Nathan talks with Peter Boockvar from Bleakley Financial Group about the recent developments in the China-US trade deal and its implications on various markets, including stocks, currencies, and commodities. They delve into the impact of tariff rates, the economic strategies of both countries, and the potential scenarios that could play out over the next few months. Peter highlights China's advancements in technology and manufacturing, and how these changes affect global economic dynamics. They also discuss the potential effects on corporate tax rates, investment strategies, and the broader economic landscape, emphasizing the challenges businesses face in this uncertain environment. The episode concludes with thoughts on the future of the financial markets, the importance of international investments, and perspectives on gold and other assets.

It's Tuesday, May 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Four Christian families evicted in Laos Four Christian families have lost their homes, after being evicted from their village in north-western Laos a week ago.  They were forced to leave their possessions behind, and leave their home in the Luang Namtha province in northern Laos, near the border of Thailand.   BarnabasAid.org has provided funds to cover the believers' immediate needs for rice, cooking oil, hygiene products, and other essentials. United Kingdom's disturbing euthanasia bill The United Kingdom House of Commons is considering a euthanasia bill.   A rather macabre government appraisal has estimated a cost savings of 59.6 million pounds for the killing of 1,000 and 4,500 people per year. The government report also noted other cost savings from the “social care sector and in social security payments.” The bill would allow the killing of a person whom doctors prophesy to only have six months or less to live. Deuteronomy 27:25 speaks to this when the leaders of Israel said, “Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!'” Christian clerk, who refused to certify homosexual “marriage,” goes before Supremes Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal advocacy group, will be appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court for Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis of Rowan County. She is arguing that the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protects her from liability and damages for refusing to issue a “same-sex marriage” license against her religious beliefs. Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said that the case “underscores why the U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Obergefell v. Hodges because that decision threatens the religious liberty of many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman.” Closer to nuclear war today The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 89 seconds before midnight. The clock, which estimates the risks of nuclear war, has been in operation for 70 years.   During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the clock moved to 7 minutes to midnight. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the clock moved to 17 minutes. The clock moved to 2 minutes in 2018, and now 89 seconds to midnight in 2025. The organization attributes “profound global instability and geopolitical tension” to the moving of the needle. “King of Kings” animated film makes $65 million The Mormon-owned Angel Studios has succeeded again — with the film “King of Kings,” an animated story of a little boy who takes a journey through events in the life of Jesus. (audio clip of trailer) FATHER: “Our story begins 2,000 years ago, when baby Jesus came into the world.” SON: “Wait, wait, stop. If it's not about a king, then I'm not interested!” FATHER: “This story is about the King of kings.” SON: “Wow!” FATHER: “It has angels and wicked kings and miracles.” SON: “Look at all the fish.” FATHER: “Oh, so you want to hear the story now?” SON: “Uh-huh!” So far, the film has collected $65 million at the box office. That exceeds the Angel Studios' previous box office total of $14 million for the film, “His Only Son” on Abraham's trek to Mount Moriah. Last year's film, “Cabrini,” produced by Angel Studios, was a treatment of the Roman Catholic saint by the name of Maria Francesca Cabrini who established 67 schools and orphanages in New York City in the late 1800s for poor, Italian immigrants. This production earned $21 million at the box office. The Mormon-owned studio's top box office hit was “The Sound of Freedom,” earning $251 million in 2023 — a film on the subject of sex trafficking. The Chief Executive Officer of Angel Studios is Neal Harmon, a Mormon. Tentative trade agreement between China and America U.S. President Donald Trump announced Monday a temporary China-US trade agreement, which would cut U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%. China would cut their tariffs on U.S. imports from 125% to 10%. TRUMP: “Yesterday, we achieved a total reset with China. After productive talks in Geneva, both sides now agree to reduce the tariffs imposed after April 2nd to 10% for 90 days as negotiators continue in the largest structural issues. “That doesn't include the tariffs that are already on, that are our tariffs, and it doesn't include tariffs on cars, steel, aluminum, or tariffs that may be imposed on pharmaceuticals because we want to bring the pharmaceutical businesses back to the United States. They're already starting to come back now, based on tariffs, because they don't want to pay 25%, 50%, or 100% tariffs. So, they're moving them back to the United States. “The talks in Geneva were very friendly. The relationship is very good. We're not looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories. They were having a lot of unrest, and they were very happy to be able to do something with us. The relationship is very, very good. I'll speak to President Xi maybe at the end of the week.” The deal will operate during a trial period of 90 days. U.S. government debt spirals higher The U.S. government is still on a big spending spree. The U.S. Treasury records a $1.049 trillion budget deficit for the first seven months of fiscal 2025. That's up 23% over a year earlier. Social Security spending is up 9% year-over-year. Outlays reached a record number of $4.159 trillion for the year to date. Gutsy GOP Congresswoman wants to defund Planned Parenthood And finally, Breitbart News reports that Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois is behind a move to defund Planned Parenthood's abortion funding through the budget reconciliation process. Miller noted that “abortions made up 97.1% of Planned Parenthood's pregnancy services from 2021-2022, performing nearly 400,000 abortions.” The House Committee on Energy and Commerce released a portion of the proposed bill on Monday, with the provision to strip abortion providers of funding.   Mary Miller is a homeschooling mom of seven and grandmother of 20, hailing from the state of Illinois. Proverbs 24:11-12 reminds us, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Surely we did not know this,' does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
