U.S President Donald Trump has taken a direct swipe at Elon Musk, claiming that without U.S. government subsidies, Musk would go broke and "have to return to South Africa."

Trump also called for an investigation into the billions in subsidies Musk’s companies have received, saying the U.S. can't afford to keep funding his electric cars, rockets, and satellites.

In response, Musk fired back, calling for an end to all subsidies and threatening to campaign against lawmakers supporting Trump's massive spending bill.

Absolutely brutal rant from Trump taking aim at AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, Biden, Kamala, and Chuck Schumer 😂

We created this illustration to explain the mechanics behind the American-made B-2 bunker buster bomb, which has been mentioned recently in coverage of ongoing events in the Middle East. Dropped from a B-2 stealth bomber flying at an altitude of about 12km, the bomb is accelerated smoothly by gravity — no engine required. Guided by satellite and controlled by movable tail fins, its enormous weight creates intense kinetic energy without impact, propelling the heavy-duty casing up to 60 metres underground. A delayed fuse detonates 2,400kg of explosives deep below the surface.

A new, higher-resolution satellite image of Fordow shows six holes, which could indicate that each B-2 bomber dropped its pair of bombs on the exact same spot. The first to puncture a few meters deep pockets, and the second to reach the facility, buried 90 meters beneath the mountain.

Today in summary
bunker buster bombs Made in the US of A

GBU-57A/B MOP

- 30,000-pound (13,600 kg)-'bunker buster' bomb developed for the United States Air Force

- Can penetrate about 60 m (200 ft) of earth or 18 m (59 ft) of concrete

- Can be dropped only by the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber

- Used in US strikes on Fordow earlier today

🚨Breaking: Iranian television reports bombings at the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Early footage of the bombing at one facility has been released.

The US military dropped six “bunker buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment plant Saturday night — with President Trump declaring the facility hidden beneath a mountain “is gone.”

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump's strike on Iran "effectively DESTROYED Iran's capability to enrich uranium at the level they would need [for a weapon]."

"There are THOUSANDS of centrifuges in these sites."

HUGE.

BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCED THE US HAS BOMBED IRAN’S NUCLEAR SITES

Pray for USA troops 🙏🏻🇺🇸

🚨 NEW: At least SIX U.S. B-2 Stealth Bombers are now over the Pacific Ocean, to be positioned within striking distance of Iran

They took off overnight from Whiteman AFB in MO, and were immediately refueled in-air, suggesting a heavy payload, such as bombs.

ONLY the B-2 is capable of dropping 30K lbs bunker buster bombs, which would be needed to destroy the Fordow Enrichment Facility, believed to be 300ft underground.

Pray for our troops 🇺🇸

The picture was shared from his official social media account with the message:

> "The Force of American greatness can never be defeated. Strength, honor, and unwavering patriotism—these are the values we fight for. We will MAKE AMERICA STRONG AGAIN! :-"



The AI artwork is getting a lot of attention online. Supporters say it shows power and pride, while some people find it funny or over-the-top. Either way, the image is trending and getting people talking.

GROK: China is quietly exempting some U.S. goods from tariffs, particularly those vital to its economy, to soften the impact of the trade war on its own businesses. This move affects roughly $40 billion worth of imports, representing a significant portion of China’s trade with the US. The exemptions are focused on goods where China lacks alternatives, such as semiconductors, chipmaking equipment, medical products, and aviation parts.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Why the exemptions?
China is struggling with the cost of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, particularly those deemed critical to its economy. By waiving tariffs on these imports, China aims to ease the burden on its businesses and potentially encourage them to find new suppliers outside the US.

What goods are exempted?
The specific products being exempted include items like certain semiconductors, chipmaking equipment, medical products, and aviation parts.

How is this happening?
The Wall Street Journal reports that Chinese authorities have been notifying importers of these exemptions, effectively waiving the 125% tariff increase.

Impact on the trade war:
This move signals a potential softening in China’s hardline stance on the trade war, suggesting Beijing is concerned about the economic consequences. It could also be a way to signal to the U.S. that China is open to negotiation and compromise.

China Quietly Exempts Some U.S.-Made Products From Tariffs – WSJ

Beijing has been canvassing companies and waiving duties on U.S. goods in sectors where it lacks alternatives. …

JUST IN: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 China quietly exempts tariffs on $40 billion worth of US goods, Bloomberg reports.


China quietly exempts US goods from tariffs, covering around $40 billion worth of imports, in an effort to soften the blow of the trade war on its own economy.

Chinese officials are quietly drawing up a “whitelist” of critical U.S. goods that importers rely on to exempt them from Beijing’s retaliatory tariffs, Reuters reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

The news adds to a growing number of reports from China of businesses discovering that tariffs have been waived on some goods, such as certain semiconductor and integrated circuit products.

It also shows how, underneath its tough rhetoric, Beijing is trying to mitigate the impact of the U.S. trade war on its export-reliant economy, the world’s second-largest, which was already under pressure from a broader slowdown.

US and Ukraine Sign Mineral Resources Agreement


By Oleksiy Pshemyskiy, Nataliia Popova, and Michelle Stoddart

April 30, 2025, 11:28 PM

The United States and Ukraine have signed the long-awaited agreement to create the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, granting the U.S. rights to Ukrainian rare earth minerals, both sides announced Wednesday.

“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a press release. “President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine. And to be clear, no state or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.”

Ukrainian Minister of the Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said in a post on X, "Together with the United States, we are creating the Fund that will attract global investment into our country."

In a video discussing the deal posted on X, Bessent gave more details about the agreement.

"This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery," Bessent said in the video.

Both sides were ready to sign the agreement on critical minerals and other resources earlier, but the U.S. said it wanted the main minerals resources agreement signed and the creation of an investment fund document signed at the same time, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and a source in the Ukrainian president's office said.

Ukraine had planned to separate the signing dates, as the creation of the fund agreement was still being finalized, the source added.

"Now they'll be rushing to finish it," the source said.

Ukraine said it was ready to sign but ran into a last-minute snag when the U.S. requested it sign both the mineral resources agreement and the investment fund agreement at the same time, a Ukrainian official told ABC News. The U.S. refuted that series of events in comments during President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting Wednesday, saying it was "ready to sign" the agreement but the Ukrainians decided on Tuesday night to "make some last-minute changes," Bessent said.

"Our side is ready to sign," Bessent said.

When asked what was changed, Bessent said there have been "no changes on our side."

Trump then put the mineral resources agreement into "context," talking about the amount of money the U.S. has given to Ukraine's war effort. But he seemed optimistic about the prospect of the agreement coming together.

"But we haven't really seen the fruits of that deal yet. I suspect we will," Trump said.

Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were originally set to sign the minerals deal in late February, but the plan was derailed following a tense exchange between the two men in the Oval Office.

Trump Tariff Revenue 2025: U.S. Has Collected $21 Billion, Says CBP


The United States has reportedly generated over $21 billion in tariff revenue since President Donald Trump returned to office, according to a recent statement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The CBP confirmed that since April 5, 2025, more than $500 million has been collected under Trump’s new reciprocal tariffs, forming part of the $21 billion total from 15 major trade actions enacted since January 20, 2025.

In early April, President Trump announced a “reciprocal tariff” policy, applying a 10% blanket tariff on imports from nearly every country. The goal: leveling the global playing field and protecting American industries. A three-month pause was later introduced, but China remained an exception, now facing a 145% tariff on nearly all products except select tech items. In response, China implemented a 125% tariff on U.S. goods, which has impacted U.S. beef exports—valued at $1.6 billion to China last year.

Additional tariffs under Trump’s trade policy include 25% duties on imports from Canada, Mexico, and foreign automobiles and auto parts.
