North Korea is Trump-Proofing its Regime

US Says China Agrees to Spend Billions on Agricultural Goods
“Previous efforts by Trump to get China to purchase more US goods have fallen short, raising questions about whether the latest pledges will be fulfilled. China failed to meet its commitments under an agreement Trump brokered in 2020 to buy an extra $200 billion in US agricultural, energy and manufactured products over a two-year period. The Covid-19 pandemic complicated that effort but critics said the targets were unrealistic.
China has recently turned to cheaper Brazilian soybeans after meeting the initial purchasing volume from the US agreed to in last year’s trade truce between Washington and Beijing.
While the fresh discloser will likely be welcomed by farmers, who were seeking more clarity from the latest summit, the amount may not be large enough to satisfy growers looking to turn around tough economic conditions.
Farmers have been struggling for years with relatively low crop prices and high costs. Pressures have been compounded by geopolitical tensions including Trump’s tariffs, and most recently by a surge in fertilizer costs linked to the conflict in Iran.”

Why the Trump Xi Summit Was Always Going to Fail!
Trump’s visit to China achieved essentially nothing. The countries’ problems are too deep to be achieved in a presidential visit.

Elon’s DOGE Disaster Was Much Worse Than We Realized
The Trump administration tore down USAID before figuring out what it actually did.
Because USAID was shuttered so quickly and with little warning, lots of people traveled for desperate medical care or food, just to find the USAID location shutdown. Lots of people died.
The State Department has not released the data needed to see how many people died.
Marco Rubio used to say if you want to know how important USAID is, just travel to Africa and see the many lives of children saved at relative low cost by the American taxpayer. Such people are less likely to be radicalized or become anti-American. Yet, Rubio didn’t, or couldn’t, save USAID under the Trump administration.
DOGE bros were uninformed and just smacked the table and yelled at people. Some of them thought USAID mostly did abortions. USAID doesn’t do abortions. DOGE tore down USAID because Elon Musk demanded it.
When it comes to understanding government policy, Elon Musk is incompetent and his actions have killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Inflation jumps to its highest level in three years
“Prices rose 3.8% in April compared to a year earlier, marking an increase from a year-over-year inflation rate of 3.3% in the prior month. Annual inflation jumped to its highest level in three years, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showed.
As recently as February, inflation stood at 2.4%, clocking in just a tick above the Federal Reserve’s target level of 2%.
The jump in prices last month owed in large part to a sharp rise in costs for products impacted by a global oil shock. Gasoline prices were 5% higher in April than March, the BLS report said. Airline fares climbed 2.8% from the previous month.”
