AI Summary:
Trump announced that he would “immediately pause” tariffs on Mexico and Canada for 30 days. However, a 10 percent tariff on all China exports comes into effect on Tuesday. Trump has also spoken against the high trade deficit in goods with the three countries that together stands at more than $480bn. China slaps 10 percent tariffs on crude oil imports and farm equipment. China has called the fentanyl crisis “America’s problem”. China has given support to the US’s response to this issue, a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson says. China has responded relatively calmly, suggesting that a 10 percent tariff is something they can withstand. Trump launched a fierce two-year trade war with China, imposing tit-for-tat tariffs on about $50bn worth of Chinese imports. The big concern for Donald Trump is the flow of illegal substance fentanyl as well as illegal immigration into the United States, Al Jazeera’s Halkett said. The US trade deficit with Mexico stands at more than $100bn.

AI Summary:
The joint patrol and air-intercept drills over the disputed Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines were the first by the longtime treaty allies since Donald Trump took office again. Trump’s foreign policy thrust has sparked concerns among Washington’s allies in Asia about the scale and depth of U.S. Commitment to the region in his new term. Air Force B-1 bomber aircraft and three Philippine Air Force FA-50 fighter jets joined the brief patrol. It was not immediately known if the joint patrol encountered any challenge from Chinese forces guarding the Scarborough Shoal. In August last year, two Chinese air force aircraft flew close then fired flares in the path of a Philippine air force plane. China and the Philippines have had increasingly alarming faceoffs in the shoal. The U.S. Military has reported encountering such dangerous maneuvers by Chinese air force planes. China says these have endangered regional security.

AI Summary:
Trump has agreed to pause 25 percent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada. But the pause is only for a month, and a 10 percent tariff that Trump announced on Chinese imports kicked in on Tuesday morning. The threat of an all-out multifront tariff war still looms. Trump’s threats have also spooked global markets and drawn condemnation. On Saturday, Trump declared a state of emergency by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and imposed tariffs on the three countries. These tariffs were to come into effect from 12:01am EST (05:01 GMT) on Tuesday. Canada and Mexico announced that they would each send 10,000 soldiers to their borders to crack down on undocumented migrants trying to enter the US. But this reprieve is temporary and does not extend to China. The law was named after its top supporters, Republican Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and Republican Representative Willis Hawley of Oregon. Canada slapped tariffs on 16 US products which accounted for about a third of US exports at the time, according to US-based nonprofit research organisation, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). The slowdown of trade weakened the US economy. By 1933, US Exports dropped by 61 percent. France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg increased their tariff on US poultry to 13.43 cents (around $1.4 today), per pound of chicken. Between 1962 and 1963, US global chicken exports dropped by about 30 percent. The “chicken tax” on light trucks remains in force. This has led to a cat-and-mouse game between foreign manufacturers trying to access US markets. 1987: Tariffs on Japanese automobiles President Ronald Reagan imposed 100 percent tariffs on $300m worth of Japanese imports. The Reagan administration said it had imposed these tariffs as a result of Tokyo reneging on terms of a 1986 semiconductor trade agreement with Washington. Japan did not retaliate. In retaliation, the US imposed 100 percent tariffs on European products. It was bananas for brie. The resolution began with the Geneva Banana Agreement. Trump’s first term as president was from 2016 to 2020. In June 2018, Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on more than 800 products from China. Beijing responded with a retaliatory 178.6 percent tariff on sorghum from the US.

AI Summary:
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has appealed for calm as hundreds of rolling earthquakes have rattled residents of Santorini island and its neighbours in the Aegean Sea. Records from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) showed the quakes were continuing to occur a few minutes apart as of 7am on Tuesday (05:00 GMT), with the largest quake recorded at magnitude 5.1 on Monday afternoon. Santorini draws more than three million visitors annually to its whitewashed villages built along dramatic cliffs formed by a massive volcanic eruption around 1620 BC. That eruption destroyed a large part of the island, blanketed a wide area in metres of ash and is believed to have contributed to the decline of the ancient Minoan civilisation. I think it’s going to escalate tomorrow and I hope then it will calm down. Emergency crews have helped set up tents in a basketball court next to the island’s main hospital as a staging area. Push alerts have also been sent to mobile phones.
