President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Wednesday to comment on ongoing trade tensions with China, days after accusing Beijing of failing to follow through on commitments to reduce tariffs and loosen trade barriers. In his message, he described Chinese President Xi Jinping as a formidable counterpart.
“I like President Xi of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH,” Trump wrote.
Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that a conversation between Trump and Xi was expected in the coming days as the two sides worked to resolve disagreements stemming from last month’s tariff pact signed in Geneva, along with other outstanding trade matters.

A hungry wild elephant caused havoc in a grocery store in Thailand on Monday when he strolled in from a nearby national park and helped himself to food on the shelves. Videos of the incident showed the huge male elephant, known as Plai Biang Lek, briefly stopping in front of the shop, located next to a main road near the Khao Yai National Park in northeastern Thailand, before ducking his whole body inside. The elephant stopped in front of the shop’s counter, calmly snatching and chomping snacks, and did not flinch as the national park workers tried to shoo him away. The elephant later backed out of the shop still holding a bag of snacks with his trunk. He left little damage behind, except mud tracks on the floor and the ceiling of the shop.
