The US and China are entangled in escalating tariff disputes, with President Trump’s policies potentially triggering a global recession. Investors are increasingly alarmed as markets struggle to adapt to these tariffs. In a related development, the White House was on the brink of announcing a TikTok deal, but negotiations stalled after China demanded tariff discussions first, leading to a 75-day extension of the sale deadline. Meanwhile, the tech industry is eager to see these tariffs reversed, as they significantly impact the sector. Amid these tensions, China’s technological advancements continue, with companies like DeepSeek working on self-improving AI models in collaboration with Tsinghua University, narrowing the AI dominance gap with the US. These statistics highlight the intricate dance of technology and trade between the two superpowers.

TikTok is running out of time to find a buyer. The app’s future remains uncertain as a ban in the United States could be just days away.
Meanwhile, Israel eliminates remaining tariffs on US goods.

#ICYMI TikTok isn’t going anywhere just yet
Trump has pushed the deadline to June 19, giving ByteDance more time to seal the deal with a non-Chinese buyer — or risk getting banned from U.S. app stores.
