Trump narrows focus on ‘killing America’s enemies’ in speech to graduate cadets

US President Donald Trump used the first service academy commencement address of his second term on Saturday (local time) to laud graduating West Point cadets for their accomplishments and career choice while also veering sharply into a campaign-style recitation of political boasts and long-held grievances. "In a few moments, you'll become graduates of the most elite and storied military academy in human history," Trump said at the ceremony at Michie Stadium. "And you will become officers of the greatest and most powerful army the world has ever known. And I know, because I rebuilt that army, and I rebuilt the military.

As US and China begin trade talks in Geneva, Trump’s tariff hammer looks less mighty than he hoped

The way US President Donald Trump sees it, beating China in a trade war should be easy. After all, his logic goes, the Chinese sell Americans three times as much stuff as Americans sell them. Therefore, they have more to lose. Inflict enough pain – like the combined 145 per cent taxes he slapped on Chinese imports last month – and they'll beg for mercy. Trump's treasury secretary, Scott Bessent has confidently compared Beijing to a card player stuck with a losing hand. "They're playing with a pair of twos,'' he said.
