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."

The chemical distribution industry is no stranger to global crises. When instability flares overseas, it rarely stays contained. It ripples outward, touching American industries, workers, and consumers alike. Today, as conflict in the Middle East disrupts global commerce, those pressures are once again reaching our shores, adding another layer of stress to an already fragile […]
The Democratic Party wants voters to believe the border crisis created by President Joe Biden was an accident that Democrats solved in June 2024 with an executive order tightening asylum screening. This is utterly false. The Biden administration worked hard with the United Nations to facilitate as much migration to the United States as possible. […]
President Donald Trump’s abiding foreign policy is aptly named “America First.” It asserts that the post-World War II, American-led “rules-based order” had been accomplished. It was time to stop enriching “allies” and former enemies that had been rebuilt and were now competitors, and could, at the very least, help pay for their own defense. Bluntly, […]
