Air Force One lifted off after U.S. President Donald Trump wrapped up his visit to China where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
The visit between the two leaders occurred amid the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran, as America continues to conduct a blockade against the Islamic Republic.
A White House release about a meeting between Xi and Trump read, in part, "The two sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to support the free flow of energy. President Xi also made clear China’s opposition to the militarization of the Strait and any effort to charge a toll for its use, and he expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China’s dependence on the Strait in the future. Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon."

TRUMP’S DECISION. There are reports that President Donald Trump has reviewed U.S. military plans to attack Iran. But the president says he has not yet made the crucial decision to actually order an attack, which apparently involves dropping bunker-busting bombs on Iran’s deep-underground Fordow nuclear facility. Trump appeared to rule out quick action when he released a […]
On Wednesday night, SpaceX’s Starship rocket erupted into flames shortly after takeoff, marking another high-profile failure in Elon Musk’s “fail fast” development tactics. But to Musk, failure isn’t a bug but a feature. His core philosophy in rockets and government reform? Break things, learn fast, iterate. The beleaguered rollout of the Department of Government Efficiency […]
Make America Great Again celebrity Charlie Kirk, attempting to balance support for the administration and appeal to online isolationists, maintains that the “regime change war machine in D.C.” is pushing President Donald Trump into “an all-out blitz on Iran.” If the president acts, shadowy agents of the military-industrial complex will surely be blamed. But the […]
