🚨ABC Sources 🚨

President Donald Trump is getting comfortable with the idea of taking out Iran's Fordo nuclear facility, a source familiar with the intelligence told ABC News.

It would not be just one strike on the facility, it would be several, the source said. There is now a movement to get ready for this, the source added.

🚨 TRUMP MAY CUT CHINA TARIFFS TO EASE TENSIONS

The Trump administration is weighing major tariff cuts on Chinese imports—possibly by over 50%—to reduce trade tensions, sources say. No final decision has been made, and options remain open.

One idea is a tiered system:

🔸 35% tariffs on non-strategic items

🔸 100%+ tariffs on goods tied to national security

🔸 Phased in over five years

Trump confirmed Tuesday that his 145% tariffs could be reduced but “won’t be zero.” Markets reacted positively to the news.

China responded by signaling openness to talks but warned it won’t negotiate under U.S. threats. Some in Beijing see Trump’s shift as backing down.

@Ronmarkets2 Hi mate, not able to send a DM but can you add me into the group my man!

[Shehan R @ShehanR2]

@mmcassella yeah but they should clarify 245% on "some" imports -_-

especially given market sensitivity

the exact line from the release was "China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions."
