US Trade War: China takes a big step against US tariff move
In retaliation to hiked tariffs by the Donald Trump government, China has clapped back at the US by announcing new taxes and restrictions on American products. This comes in response to heavy tariffs recently introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump. China’s Finance Ministry said it will add a 34% tax on all U.S. goods starting April 10. And from April 4, China will also limit the export of certain rare-earth metals—like samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium—to the U.S. According to China’s Commerce Ministry, these steps are being taken to protect the country’s safety and interests.

South Korean President Impeachment: President Yoon removed from office
Ending a tumultuous presidency, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol has been ousted by the Constitutional Court on Friday. The president came under fire over the 2024 martial law crisis. Following Yoon's ouster, South Korea's constitution mandates that a presidential election be held within 60 days. Until a new president is inaugurated, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will serve as acting president. The decision marks the culmination of months of political upheaval, which have hindered the country’s ability to effectively engage with the newly established administration of U.S. President Donald Trump amid concerns over a slowing economy. The ruling sparked emotional reactions across the political spectrum. Anti-Yoon protesters celebrated the announcement with tears of joy and embraces, while the atmosphere in the pro-Yoon camp was somber—some supporters were seen crying, and many appeared visibly shaken by the outcome.

Turkey Protests: Tensions in Istanbul soar as protests intensify
Turkey is witnessing its biggest wave of protests in over a decade. The streets of Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara are filled with voices demanding justice. The reason? The detention of Istanbul’s mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu, a man seen as President Erdoğan’s strongest political rival. İmamoğlu was taken into custody on March 19, a move his party—the Republican People’s Party, or CHP—calls politically motivated. His supporters see it as an attack on democracy itself. President Tayyip Erdoğan has issued a stern warning against the unrest, but that hasn’t deterred citizens in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, and beyond. In some cities, clashes erupted as police used water cannons to disperse the crowds.

Thousands of people protested in Istanbul on March 20 after the arrest of the city's mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu.

Trump to open 80,000 JFK assassination documents for more transparency
President Donald Trump is set to release around 80,000 pages of documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The release, which was planned for March 18, is part of Trump's promise to provide more transparency about the tragic event in Texas. Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an order that led to the FBI uncovering new documents about the assassination. The murder of Kennedy has long been linked to a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, with the FBI and other federal agencies reaffirming that conclusion over the years. However, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy, has suggested that the CIA may have been involved in his uncle’s death. He has also claimed that his father was killed by multiple gunmen, which goes against the official explanation.
