5. U.S. and China reach deal to ease export curbs, keep tariff truce alive
U.S. and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to put their trade truce back on track and remove China's export restrictions on rare earths while offering little sign of a durable resolution to longstanding trade differences.

In the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that the California National Guard will remain deployed at immigration protests in Los Angeles “until there’s no danger.”

The president also continued to defend his decision to deploy the 4,000 National Guard members and 700 U.S. Marines.

Kirchner, 72, a polarizing opposition figure and leftist president from 2007 to 2015, was convicted by a trial court in 2022 for a fraud scheme that steered public road work projects in the Patagonia to a close ally while she was president.
