‘New Page In History’: Lebanese PM Visits Damascus For Talks With Sharaa
Nawaf Salam and Ahmad al-Sharaa discussed several issues, including Syrian refugees in Lebanon, border security, and trade cooperation
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam visited Damascus on 14 April and met with Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa – the former Al-Qaeda chief known previously as Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
“This visit will open a new page in the history of relations between the two countries, based on mutual respect, the restoration of trust, good neighborliness, the preservation of our two countries' sovereignty, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, because Syria's decision is for the Syrians and Lebanon's decision is for the Lebanese,” Salam said in the meeting.
“Discussions were held with President Sharaa and Syrian officials regarding border control and crossings, preventing smuggling, and ultimately demarcating the land and sea borders,” the Lebanese prime minister’s media office said.
“This was initiated during a meeting [last month] in Jeddah between the two countries' defense ministers, sponsored by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Both sides emphasized the importance of strengthening security coordination to preserve the stability of both countries,” it added.
Salam was accompanied by Lebanese Defense Minister Michel Menassa, Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, and Interior Minister Ahmad Hajjar.

4/10 - Washington 'Vetoes' Gulf Funds For Lebanon Reconstruction: Report
The World Bank estimates Lebanon needs $11 billion for reconstruction and recovery due to the ongoing Israeli war on the country
The US government has placed an “undeclared veto” on Gulf nations that offered financial support for the reconstruction of Lebanon until Israel's objectives in the country are met, according to diplomatic sources who spoke with Al-Akhbar.
Washington informed several Gulf states, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, that no financial support should be given to Lebanon or Syria “at this stage,” in what the Lebanese daily describes as a “maximum pressure campaign aimed at removing any obstacle to a settlement that ends the state of conflict with Israel – particularly by dismantling Hezbollah’s weapons – regardless of the consequences for Lebanon.”
Other conditions for lifting the veto reportedly include the results of upcoming US-Iran nuclear talks and the repercussions of the escalating trade war with China.
“Trump’s team sees resolving [West Asian] conflicts, particularly by incorporating Lebanon into the Abraham Accords, as a way to lock the region into the US sphere of influence and limit China’s foothold,” the report states.
Al-Akhbar's sources said they believe the veto could be extended until next year's parliamentary elections, aiming to prevent Hezbollah and the Amal Movement “from securing all Shia seats in parliament.”

China Faces 245% Trump Tariff
The White House said China is facing up to a 245 percent tariff on imports to the U.S. "as a result of its retaliatory actions," as the trade war between the world's two largest economies continues to heat up.
The top potential tariff was referenced in a fact sheet published by the White House late on Tuesday. It accompanied an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."
A White House official told Newsweek the calculation reflects the maximum potential rate some Chinese goods could face, combining the reciprocal tariff, the fentanyl tariff, and existing Section 301 tariffs that go up to 100 percent.
Electric vehicles, for example, have outstanding Section 301 tariffs of 100 percent dating back to the Biden Administration, meaning these products would face a 245 percent rate in total.

Now China Tells US 'Peasants' To 'Stop Whining'! Beijing's New Jibe At Trump In Tariff War Of Words, Telling America To Stop Playing 'Victim' And Saying 'You Took A Free Ride On Globalization Train' For Years
China has warned the United States that it 'should stop whining about being a victim in global trade' in its latest swipe at Donald Trump's tariffs, as the trade war between the two superpowers continues to escalate.
'The US is not getting ripped off by anybody,' an editorial in state-run media outlet China Daily read last night. 'The problem is the US has been living beyond its means for decades.'
'It consumes more than it produces. It has outsourced its manufacturing and borrowed money in order to have a higher standard of living than it's entitled to based on its productivity.
'Rather than being "cheated", the US has been taking a free ride on the globalization train.'
The article concludes: 'The US should stop whining about itself being a victim in global trade and put an end to its capricious and destructive behavior.
'Instead, it should commit itself to working with its trading partners to establish a fair, free and WTO-centered multilateral trading system that is in line with the times… Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation,' a senior Beijing official declared this week.

⭕️ Israel is growing worried about a revived plan to send Gulf natural gas—especially from Qatar—to Europe through Syria and Turkiye, cutting Israel out of the route.
Israel had hoped to use its Haifa Port as a key energy hub, but that idea has faded as ties between Damascus and Ankara continue to deepen.
Israeli media has criticized the government’s lack of a clear Syria strategy and warned that Turkiye won’t let Israel interfere with a pipeline project seen as crucial to its influence in the region.
