News and Opinion
How polished are the Chinese, how delicate in their gestures, after two millennia’s experience in statecraft and the diplomatic arts? They can tell a visiting dignitary of high station that relations have changed — and with relations the world order — even before the lapsang souchong is poured. Donald Trump got the full treatment. You saw this coming as soon as he descended the Air Force One stairs last Thursday to begin his two-day summit with Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader was not at the airport to greet the American president: Xi left that to children with flags on sticks and his vice-president, the not-much-heard-of Han Zheng.
When Trump arrived at the Great Hall of the People a short while later, the semiology was yet plainer: Xi stood at a distance, making no move forward as Trump loped in his familiar stoop, the stoop of the weary, toward him. Here, worth a moment’s study, is the CBS News video of the occasion. The Chinese way with protocol, you have to marvel.
Power has typically shifted westward in the great movements of modern history — from Imperial China to Europe and then across the Atlantic and onward across the continental United States. The trans–Pacific drift has been evident for some time. Xi chose this moment to advise the 47th president of the United States that the migration of power is now irreversible and it is time for each side to take its place in a new order. Beijing’s timing surprises me not at all. A year and some into Trump’s second term, he and his cabinet of incompetents have proven abjectly unserious about maintaining even a semblance of global order. Long before Trump came along, the Chinese, along with the Russians, had begun to see the United States and its “rules-based order” as a worrisome threat to stable international relations. Trump II’s lawlessness and aggression have prompted Beijing finally to intervene, so far by way of statecraft, against the world’s regression into a state of premodern chaos.
Xi also spoke, and more than once, of the Thucydides Trap, that scholarly concept wherein a rising and declining power are bound to go to war. There is no taking this as pitter-patter: It was a warning. He spoke of “major issues important to our two countries and the world,” and displayed a preoccupation with the need to maintain global stability. When the leader of the world’s most dynamic power speaks of stability to the leader of the nation most responsible for threatening it — this is not pitter patter, either. I was especially struck to note Xi’s references — again, more than one — to “working together” on all those “major issues important to our two countries and the world.” Let us listen carefully. This was not a Chinese president asking an American how the P.R.C. might assist the leader of the world as it keeps order in the world. It was a Chinese president inviting an American to help as the People’s Republic works with others to keep it.
So did history turn in Beijing last week.

Trump claims planned attack on Iran postponed after Tehran makes new proposal to end war
Iran has made a new proposal for a deal to definitively end the war in the Middle East, officials in the region said on Monday, with Donald Trump claiming he had postponed new military strikes so talks could continue. But while the US president has regularly used social media to threaten Tehran, and to claim that a peace deal was within reach, there has been no sign of an immediate breakthrough in the stalled negotiations to end the war.
A ceasefire has paused most violence after six weeks of US-Israeli airstrikes and Iranian retaliation, but there has been little progress since Trump said the ceasefire was “on life support”, with some Israeli media reports suggesting a resumption of hostilities is imminent. In a post on Monday, Trump said he had been asked by the leaders of several Gulf countries to “hold off on our planned Military attack [on Iran], which was scheduled for tomorrow, in that serious negotiations are now taking place”.
Trump claimed that the leaders of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had approached Washington because of the chance of reaching a deal that would be “very acceptable” to the US, and preclude Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The US president said he had instructed military leaders that “we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice”.
Rhetoric on both sides has remained defiant in recent days. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened on Monday to impose permits on internet cables passing through the strait of Hormuz, while other officials have said the waterway would remain under Iranian “management”, implying Tehran would impose tolls on shipping, which Washington has said it cannot accept.
Axios reported that Trump was expected to meet national security advisers on Tuesday to discuss options for resuming military action.

Thomas Massie Wants to End Trump’s Iran War—So Pete Hegseth Wants to End Massie
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being accused of violating long-standing Pentagon policy by going scorched earth on the campaign trail in Kentucky against the leading Republican critic of President Donald Trump’s war against Iran, Rep. Thomas Massie.
Massie (R-Ky.), who has denounced the war as unauthorized and unconstitutional and become a leading Trump antagonist on other issues like the Jeffrey Epstein files and his plans to renovate the White House ballroom, has been hit with an avalanche of spending from MAGA-aligned and pro-Israel donors seeking his ouster on Tuesday in a Republican primary that has become the most expensive in the history of the US House of Representatives.
Trump has thrown his full weight behind Massie’s challenger, retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein, who polls show about even with or slightly ahead of Massie.
It may be another case of Trump using his bully pulpit to turn GOP voters against Republicans who dare defy him, with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) being the most recent casualty. The senator, who voted to convict Trump for his role in inciting the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, was defeated in his primary over the weekend after Trump deemed him a “disloyal disaster” and endorsed a challenger.
On stage at a campaign event for Gallrein on Monday, in what The New York Times described as a “highly unusual” display of partisanship from an active defense secretary, Hegseth fulminated against Massie for showing anything less than absolute fealty to the president.
Hegseth attacking Massie: President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party. He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most. And too often, Thomas Massie has acted like his job… pic.twitter.com/r021l2q993

“President Trump does not need more people in Washington who are trying to make a point, especially from his own party. He needs people willing to help him win, to vote with him when it matters the most,” Hegseth said. “And too often, Thomas Massie has acted like his job is to stand apart from the movement that President Trump leads instead of strengthening it.”
“When President Trump needs backup, Massie wants to debate process,” Hegseth said, referring perhaps to Massie’s joining with Democrats to introduce war powers resolutions to require congressional approval of Trump’s military actions in Iran and Venezuela.
“When the movement needs unity, especially at the biggest moment, Massie is willing to vote with Democrats,” Hegseth continued. “When conservatives are fighting the most radical left in American history, too often Massie’s instinct is to throw elbows at fellow Republicans instead of the people who are destroying our country or want to destroy our country, and there’s one man standing in their way, and it’s Trump.”
The watchdog group Democracy Forward sent a letter to the Defense Department’s inspector general on Monday, arguing that Hegseth’s speech violated the Pentagon’s 2026 political activity rules under the Hatch Act, which says that Senate-confirmed presidential appointees are “expressly prohibit[ed]” from “taking an active part in... political campaigns,” including making speeches for specific candidates.
The letter also notes that Hegseth was previously scheduled to “headline” a Top Gun-themed political fundraiser for Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa) in March before it was abruptly canceled due to the Iran War.
“While flagrant violations of ethics laws and policies seem to be commonplace for this administration, Secretary Hegseth appears to have doubled down, violating his own agency’s specific regulations against politicking,” said Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward. “Our national security and those charged to protect it must be above brash partisan politics.”

For his part, Massie thinks the Trump administration’s full-court press against him may play out in his favor. In response to a post on Truth Social by Trump, who called him the “worst Republican congressman in history,” Massie said Sunday on ABC News, “I think it’s going to help my fundraising,” and said that “every time” the historically unpopular president “tweets about me, it’s good for some money coming in because people don’t like that.”
“How did this race become the most expensive race in the history of Congress for a primary?” he continued.
“It’s because three billionaires from outside of Kentucky have funneled millions of dollars in here,” he said, referencing the $2 million donated to the MAGA KY PAC by a trio of top pro-Israel billionaires—hedge fund manager Paul Singer, investor John Paulson, and a group linked to casino mogul Miriam Adelson—which has been used to fund ads accusing Massie of disloyalty to Trump.
He said these donors, and other groups spending big money to oust him, like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and the Republican Jewish Committee (RJC), were “all part of the Israeli lobby” backing his opponent. Massie has been the most vocal Republican critic of Israel, calling for US military aid to be cut off in response to the genocide in Gaza.
He said his race “will be a referendum on foreign policy and whether Israel gets to dictate that by bullying members of Congress,” adding, “I’m the one they haven’t been able to bully.”
Massie claimed he was “ahead in the polls” and that the Trump camp was “desperate.”
“That’s why they’re sending the secretary of war to my district... That’s why the president’s losing sleep and tweeting about this. That’s why AIPAC has dumped another $3 million into my race this weekend,” he said. “It’s because they’re panicked.”

Oil prices rise and bonds wobble as Iran war stokes inflation fears
Oil prices rose and global bonds wobbled on Monday, as fresh tensions in the Middle East fed inflation fears and bets that central banks will have to increase interest rates. Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil, rose on Monday, after an attack on a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates.
It came as peace talks between the US and Iran stalled in the sixth week of ceasefire. Donald Trump wrote on social media: “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”. Brent crude rose by as much as 1.77% to $111.16 a barrel, its highest level in nearly two weeks, early on Monday. However, it eased back to $110 a barrel after Iran said it had responded to a new US proposal aimed at ending the war.
Global bonds were choppy, with the benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield hitting 4.631%, its highest level since February 2025, before paring back to 4.599%. In the UK, the 10-year gilt yield hit as high as 5.19%, surpassing the 18-year high it reached on Friday, before falling back to 5.15%.
Pakistan deploys thousands of troops, jets fighter squadron to Saudi Arabia
Pakistan has deployed 8,000 troops, a squadron of fighter jets, and an air defense system to Saudi Arabia under a mutual defense pact, Reuters reported on 18 May, citing security and government officials.
The officials described the Pakistani deployment as a “substantial, combat-capable force intended to support Saudi Arabia's military if the kingdom comes under further attack,” Reuters wrote.
Pakistan's military cooperation with the Saudi kingdom is expanding amid threats by the US and Israel to renew military operations against Iran, which ceased following the announcement of a ceasefire on 8 April.
According to the sources speaking with the news agency, Pakistan has deployed a full squadron of around 16 warplanes, including JF-17 fighters made jointly with China, two squadrons of drones, and around 8,000 troops. Pakistan has pledged to send additional troops if needed, as well as a Chinese HQ-9 air defense system.
Last week, the Financial Times (FT) reported that Saudi Arabia has “floated” the possibility of reaching a “non-aggression pact” between Iran and neighboring states modeled on the 1975 Helsinki Accords, which eased tensions during the Cold War in Europe.
Israeli Strikes Kill Seven in Lebanon, Overall War Toll Passes 3,000 Killed
Israeli airstrikes have continued again today, killing at least seven people across Lebanon, including the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), who was assassinated, along with his teenage daughter. They were killed in an attack on a refugee camp near Baalbek.
The attack have brought the Lebanese Health Ministry’s total war death toll over 3,000 for the first time this week, with 3,020 people having been killed in Israeli attacks, and 9,273 others wounded since the invasion began on March.
The slain from those attacks include at least 292 women and 211 children. Well over 100 paramedics are among the slain as well in a war that has displaced roughly a quarter of the entire Lebanese population.

Cuba warns US of ‘bloodbath’ if military action follows drone claims
Cuba’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has warned that any US military action against his country would lead to a “bloodbath” with incalculable consequences for regional peace and stability.
“Cuba does not represent a threat,” Díaz-Canel said in a post on X.
The comments follow an Axios report published on Sunday, citing classified intelligence that claimed Cuba had acquired more than 300 military drones and had discussed plans to use them to attack the US naval base at Guantánamo Bay, US military vessels and Key West, Florida.
The foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, in a separate post, said Cuba, “like every nation in the world”, has the right to legitimate self-defense against external aggression under the UN charter and international law. He also said those seeking to attack Cuba use false pretexts to justify it.

Jury hands victory to Sam Altman and OpenAI in battle with Elon Musk
A jury ruled in favor of Sam Altman in the culmination of a long and bitter legal battle that pitted the richest person in the world against a leader of the AI boom. The federal jury in Oakland, California, found Altman, OpenAI and its president, Greg Brockman, not liable for Elon Musk’s claims that they unjustly enriched themselves and broke a founding contract made with Musk when founding the startup.
The verdict, delivered after less than two hours of deliberation, is a stark rebuke of Musk and his lawyer’s claims that Altman “stole a charity” through his leadership of OpenAI. It also provides the AI firm with a clear path ahead to pursue going public later this year at about a $1tn valuation.
The jury’s finding is a non-binding, advisory verdict that left Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers with ultimate power to issue her own ruling in the case. Gonzalez Rogers immediately said that she would agree with the jury’s decision and dismissed Musk’s claims. “I think there’s a substantial amount of evidence to support the jury’s finding, which is why I was prepared to dismiss on the spot,” Gonzalez Rogers told Musk’s lawyer after the verdict.
The jury found that Musk’s lawsuit, which was filed in 2024, did not fall within the statute of limitations to bring his case. One of the key legal arguments in the trial surrounded whether the harms that Musk alleged took place – including his breach of charitable trust claim – occurred before certain dates. OpenAI argued that Musk was well aware of the company’s plans to pursue a for-profit structure as early as 2017 and therefore his case was filed outside the three-year limit.
Musk tweeted that he would would appeal the verdict. “Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America,” he wrote.

Luigi Mangione trial judge allows gun and notebook to be used as evidence
The judge overseeing Luigi Mangione’s Manhattan state court trial ruled on Monday that some evidence gathered during his arrest would be barred from court. “The evidence found during the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s must be suppressed, including the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip,” Judge Gregory Carro said in his 18 May decision. Carro ruled, however, that evidence recovered at the police station was admissible, including the gun which authorities allege is the murder weapon.
“The search of the backpack at the misconduct at the McDonald’s was an improper warrantless search,” Carro said in court while briefly summing up his ruling. “Therefore those items found in the backpack during the search at the McDonald’s will be suppressed. “The subsequent search of the backpack at the station was a valid inventory search,” he said. “The items recovered at the station will not be suppressed.”
The ruling was released moments before Mangione appeared in advance of his highly anticipated trial over the murder of the healthcare executive Brian Thompson on a New York City street. He was escorted into court just before 10am, wearing a navy blue suit.
Mangione’s defense has insisted that because he was not immediately apprised of his rights, statements he made to police officers should be barred from the trial. They also claim that evidence gathered during a police search of Mangione’s backpack at the fast-food restaurant should be prohibited from court, arguing that authorities engaged in a “warrantless search”. Authorities defended searching Mangione’s backpack without a warrant at the McDonald’s, citing exigent circumstances. Carro disagreed.
“Even if the backpack could be seen as within the defendant’s control or grabbable area, the People did not meet their burden of demonstrating exigency,” Carro wrote. “The People assert that the police were merely searching for explosives in an effort to protect themselves and the public, before removing the backpack to the station. However, this justification for searching the backpack does not hold up to scrutiny,” he said. Carro will allow prosecutors to bring into evidence Mangione’s alleged notebook containing a purported manifesto, “as the officers did not open or search it at the McDonald’s”.
Trump dismisses $10bn suit against IRS and creates $1.7bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund
The justice department announced on Monday it was creating a loosely controlled and secretive $1.776bn fund to compensate Donald Trump allies as part of an agreement in which Trump and his sons dropped a $10bn longshot lawsuit against the IRS.
The money, which critics said was essentially a slush fund, will be overseen by five commissioners – four of whom would be appointed by the attorney general and removable by Trump – who would oversee the body’s work. A fifth commissioner will be appointed “in consultation” with congressional leadership. The fund also has the power to issue “formal apologies” and will send a quarterly confidential report to the US attorney general outlining who has been paid from the fund. There is no requirement that the fund’s work be made public.
“Once the funds are deposited into the Designated Account, the United States has no liability whatsoever for the protection or safeguarding of those funds, regardless of bank failure, fraudulent transfers, or any other fraud or misuse of the funds,” according to a memo from Todd Blanche, the acting US attorney general.
There did not appear to be any restrictions on who can seek compensation from the fund. A copy of the agreement released on Monday evening says that claims will be evaluated based on a number of factors, including “the strength of the claim and supporting evidence, the claimant’s actions, any time the person making the claim spent in prison, attorney’s fees, and “other factors the Anti-Weaponization Fund deems just and appropriate”.
The justice department said in a statement Trump and his sons, who were also plaintiffs in the lawsuit, would not receive any monetary compensation, but would receive a formal apology. Any money left in the fund at the end of Trump’s term would be returned to the federal government. As part of the agreement, Trump will also drop claims for monetary damages against the government over a raid on Mar-a-Lago and the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Over 145,000 US children separated from parents since Trump’s ICE surge, study estimates
More than 145,000 US children have probably experienced a parent being detained by immigration authorities since the start of Donald Trump’s second presidency, according to a new report published by a reputed US thinkthank.
The report, released on Monday by the Brookings Institution, estimates that about 146,635 children who are US citizens have had a parent detained during the mass deportation campaign the Trump administration embarked on after he retook office in early January. The study further found that of those children, more than 22,000 experienced the detention of all of their co-resident parents.
Roughly 36% were younger than six years old, underscoring a hardline immigration enforcement strategy that has drawn widespread criticism from civil rights and immigrant advocacy groups. The Brookings Institution’s report also found that the largest share of US citizen children with a detained parent are linked to Mexico, accounting for nearly 54%, while children with parents from Guatemala and Honduras together make up more than 25%.
Washington DC and Texas have had the highest share of American children with an affected parent, with more than five per 1,000 facing parental immigration detention, according to the report.
Roughly 13 million adults in the United States are undocumented or hold only limited legal protections. As a result, more than 4.6 million US citizen children live with at least one parent vulnerable to deportation – and about 2.5 million could face the detention of all parents in their household.
ICE officer charged over shooting of Venezuelan man in Minnesota
The federal officer who shot a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s militarized immigration crackdown in Minnesota was charged with assault on Monday. There is a nationwide warrant for the arrest of Christian Castro, 52, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot Julio Sosa-Celis on 14 January. A state investigation into the incident had been hampered by federal agencies’ refusal to share information with state prosecutors.
Castro is charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime, Mary Moriarty, Hennepin county attorney, said at a news conference. Moriarty said that Castro’s “federal badge does not make him immune from state charges for his criminal conduct in Minnesota”.
Federal officers, who are allowed to use deadly force if they reasonably believe they are under threat of death or bodily harm, initially defended the shooting of Sosa-Celis. Agents encountered Sosa-Celis after first chasing another Venezuelan man, Alfredo Aljorna, who sped off in his car, crashed into a snowbank and then ran towards his home, where Sosa-Celis was standing outside with a snow shovel.
Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis of attacking the agents with the shovel and a broom. Kristi Noem, the former secretary of homeland security, described the incident as “an attempted murder of federal law enforcement” and federal prosecutors charged Sosa-Celis with assaulting a federal agent with a shovel. But the charges against Sosa-Celis and Aljorna were dropped after the US attorney’s office cited evidence that was “materially inconsistent” with preliminary hearing testimony. Video released by the city of Minneapolis showed Sosa-Celis dropping the shovel and both men running inside as an agent fired in their direction.
Minnesota leaders and the Trump administration have since clashed over which has the authority to investigate and prosecute officers for conduct while on duty. The Trump administration has suggested that Minnesota officials do not have jurisdiction.
Donald Trump’s approval rating sinks to lowest point of second term
Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of his second term, amid mounting frustration over the cost of living and the US-Israel war on Iran.
As November’s US midterm elections loom, most American voters believe Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran was the wrong choice, according to polling released on Monday.
The US president’s approval rating has declined to 37%, according to the New York Times/Siena poll: the lowest level since his return to office in January 2025.
As the war on Iran drags on, and Trump debates his next steps, nearly two-thirds of voters said entering the conflict had been the wrong call. Fewer than one in four Americans said the war had been worth the costs.
Trump’s approval rating has been in decline for some time. By October 2025, nine months after his return to office, it had already fallen to 42%, the same level Joe Biden had reached more than three years into this term, in April 2024, according to researchers at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The researchers noted at the time that all the goodwill from his election victory appeared to have drained away.

Trump officials plan to repeal limits on ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water
The Trump administration has announced a plan to kill Biden-era drinking water limits on four Pfas “forever chemicals”, and to delay the implementation of standards for two other compounds. The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing two separate rules to delay and rescind the limits. The rules must go through an approval process that can take several years, and almost certainly will be challenged in court.
The Trump administration’s plan comes just two years after the US Environmental Protection Agency set legally enforceable drinking water limits for six of the most dangerous Pfas compounds that have been studied. The chemicals include some of the most toxic substances, and are linked to a range of cancers and other serious health problems.
The new Trump plan aims to undo or delay those limits, which public health advocates say would put the nation’s health at risk. Pfas are ubiquitous in the environment and estimated to be contaminating drinking water for more than 200 million people across the US.
At the Monday press conference, the EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, and US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, announced the new plan. “The Trump EPA is committed to Make America Healthy Again by ensuring clean air, land, and water – and by taking on Pfas the right way, across the full life cycle and built to last,” Zeldin said in a statement.
Public health advocates on Monday condemned the EPA. “Zeldin and Kennedy are trying to sell potions out of the back of a covered wagon,” said Dr Anna Reade, director of Pfas advocacy at Natural Resources Defense Council. “The millions of Americans demanding safe drinking water are not going to fall for their hocus pocus.”
