BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) — As U.S. President Donald Trump is kicking off his state visit to China — the first by a U.S. president in almost nine years, the two countries face an opportunity to explore the building of a strategic, constructive and stable China-U.S. relationship.
President Donald Trump has announced that he is considering making Venezuela the 51st state of the United States after removing the government of Nicolás Maduro.
United States President Donald Trump is expected to visit China this week for talks with President Xi Jinping.
It was announced by the United States health agency, NNS, which also confirmed that all 17 American passengers from the ship were flown back to the United States for further medical monitoring and treatment.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will give the European Union until July 4, 2026, to finalize its commitments under a major economic agreement or face significantly higher tariffs.
US–Vatican meeting focuses on global conflicts, humanitarian concerns, and strained political relations
Although a ceasefire remains officially in place, the United States and Iran exchanged attacks on May 7, 2026, before Tehran later announced that the situation had returned to normal, while Washington said it did not want tensions to escalate further.
Iranian forces attacked several ships and targeted a port in the United Arab Emirates in what appeared to be a show of strength against the United States. The incident came after the U.S. ordered its naval forces to reopen the Strait of Hormuz shipping route.
President Donald Trump has again warned that the United States could resume military strikes against Iran if Tehran fails to comply with Washington’s demands.
Iran has warned that the United States will face major attacks if it resumes military operations in the ongoing two-month conflict, while also reaffirming the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
