Trump places 245% Tariffs on Chinese Imports in Escalated Trade W@r.

The US-China trade w@r has escalated sharply as President Donald Trump imposes a 245% tariff on Chinese imports, following China’s retaliatory measures against earlier US actions.

A White House statement confirmed the move, alongside a newly signed Executive Order directing an investigation into national security risks linked to America’s reliance on imported processed critical minerals and related products. Signed on April 15, the Executive Order marks a significant step in the ongoing economic standoff.

According to an official White House factsheet, the tariff hike follows what the administration refers to as “Liberation Day”—the date of the initial tariff rollout.

Since then, over 75 countries have reached out to the US to negotiate new trade deals. However, China’s counter-tariffs prompted what the administration described as “decisive economic action.”

The White House argues the new tariffs serve both national security and economic interests. “China’s retaliatory actions left us no choice,” the statement reads, accusing Beijing of dishonest trade practices.

Economists warn that such a steep increase in tariffs could drive up consumer prices and disrupt international supply chains. Experts also believe China may challenge the tariffs at the World Trade Organisation or implement new countermeasures of its own. The order takes immediate effect, impacting a broad range of Chinese goods entering the US.

“They Came to K+ll Him, But Couldn’t See Him — Bishop Oyedepo’s Daughter Recounts Failed A+sa+s+nation Attempt on Him.

Love Ogah, daughter of Bishop David Oyedepo, has shared a chilling childhood experience involving a failed a+s@ssination attempt on her father, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel).

Speaking during a church service, Love used the incident as a powerful testimony to encourage the congregation to build a personal relationship with God. Recalling the event, she said, “I was in secondary school when it happened.

One night, hired k+llers came to our home and clearly stated at the gate, ‘We are here to exec¥te him’—referring to my father.

Our house turned into a w@r zone.” She described how the att@ckers searched every part of the house but somehow failed to see her father, even though he was in plain sight.

“He watched them the whole time, but they couldn’t see him,” she said. “At one point, we hid behind the door, and it sl@mmed into my face. My gum was torn, and my lip was bl++ding.”

After hours of fear and chaos, the atmosphere shifted. “My aunt rushed in crying, panicked and searching for my dad. Suddenly, he calmly walked out of his room. We thought it was a movie. He told us, ‘I was watching them the whole time.’ They had searched his room but didn’t see him,” she recounted.

Love concluded with a strong message on spiritual readiness: “When you’re in the centre of God’s will, challenges will test your faith. That’s why I’m pleading—know God for yourself. You can’t f@ke this forever. The enemies are many, but when you’re in God, you live from a place of victory. They can’t touch you.”

Adelabu Blames Past Administrations for Nigeria’s Power Sector Crisis.

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has blamed previous governments for the persistent failures in Nigeria’s electricity supply, saying their inability to implement meaningful reforms led to the current challenges.

In a statement issued by his media aide, Bolaji Tunji, Adelabu stated that the current administration is taking a different and more effective approach to fixing the power sector’s long-standing problems.

His remarks follow a warning by electricity generation companies (GenCos) about a looming nationwide shutdown due to a N4 trillion debt owed by the Federal Government. Of that amount, N2 trillion covers electricity supplied in 2024, under Adelabu’s watch, while N1.9 trillion is legacy debt.

Despite this, Adelabu insisted that the root of the crisis lies in years of neglect, particularly in maintaining infrastructure and metering.

He noted that critical assets like power lines and transformers have been left to deteriorate, while over half of electricity consumers remain unmetered. “We’ve had a past we can’t be proud of. For too long, reforms were just lip service.

You can’t repeat the same actions and expect different results,” he said. “We’re now focused on breaking away from that cycle.” He also criticised the lack of maintenance culture and vandalism of infrastructure, which continue to undermine the country’s efforts toward stable electricity.
