WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump bid farewell to Elon Musk in the Oval Office

President Donald Trump has claimed virtually unlimited power to bypass Congress and impose sweeping taxes on foreign products. Now a federal court has thrown a roadblock in his path. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national emergency and plaster taxes – tariffs – on imports from almost every country in the world. The ruling was a big setback for Trump, whose erratic trade policies have rocked financial markets, paralyzed businesses with uncertainty and raised fears of higher prices and slower economic growth. On his Truth Social platform Thursday, he wrote: “The ruling by the U.S.

In a quiet neighborhood in Eretz Yisrael, a hardworking father, R’ Dovid Elgarabli, is desperately trying to do what every father dreams of—walk his son to the chuppah. But with crushing debts, medical crises, and a household of ten children, it feels impossible. R’ Dovid works over 12 hours a day as a bus driver, while his devoted wife is fully occupied caring for their sick child, shuttling between doctors and hospitals. The bills have piled up, and the family is constantly at risk of having their electricity and water shut off due to unpaid balances. Now, with just six weeks left to the chasunah, they don’t even have the bare minimum to begin preparing. The chosson and kallah have promised to daven and mention the names of donors under the chuppah.

Elon Musk surprised reporters at the White House on Friday when he appeared at an Oval Office event with a noticeable black eye, marking the conclusion of his 130-day stint in the Trump administration.
“I’ve got a little shiner here,” said the 53-year-old after President Trump fielded a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy about “the first lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron.”
“I wasn’t anywhere near France,” Musk joked. “I was just horsing around with Little X, and I said, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face,’ and he did.”

“Turns out even a five-year-old punching you in the face … ” he started to say, before cutting himself off.

President Trump lashed out at China on Friday, accusing the country of breaking the trade agreement the two nations reached just weeks ago.
The deal, announced on May 12 after negotiations in Switzerland, had called for a 90-day easing of tariffs while both sides continued talks. Under the terms of the agreement, the United States reduced its tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, moving away from what had effectively been a trade blockade.
But signs of trouble began to emerge this week. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday night that discussions had become “a bit stalled,” and on Friday morning, Trump publicly blasted China for violating the terms of the deal.

The IDF says troops have seized and destroyed over 800 weapons and explosive devices that were found during operations in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks, amid a new offensive against Hamas.
