However, several weeks after the incident, Musk revealed in a tweet on X that those who financed the attacks against Tesla will go to jail.

China defiant as Trump escalates trade war

China is not backing down on its retaliatory tariffs despite President Donald Trump’s decision to increase the United States tariff rate on Chinese goods.

Beijing responded with 34% tariffs on U.S. imports after Trump’s last week announcement of varying retaliatory tariffs which affects about 60 countries.

The White House has announced that the rate on China will rise to 104% from 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday because China chose to retain its new trade levies.

President Trump approved an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports after the earlier imposed tariffs of 20% and 34% took effect.

In a statement, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the Trump administration of handling the trade face-off with intimidation, threat and blackmail.

The spokesperson, in a post on X on Tuesday, noted that the Chinese are not troublemakers, but we will not back away when trouble comes.

“Intimidation, threat and blackmail are not the right way to engage with China,” it reads. “We will not let anyone take away the Chinese people’s legitimate right to development.”

The Foreign Affairs Ministry vowed that China will not tolerate any attempt to harm the country’s sovereignty, security and development interests.

“The U.S. doesn’t seem to be serious about having talks right now. If the U.S. truly wants to talk, it should let people see that they’re ready to treat others with equality, respect and mutual benefit,”

“If the U.S. decides not to care about the interests of the U.S. itself, China and the rest of the world, and is determined to fight a tariff/trade war, China’s response will continue to the end,” the statement added.

Strike deal with Trump or there’ll be hell to pay – White House warns Iran

The White House on Tuesday warned Iran to strike a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Tehran’s nuclear program, or there will be “hell to pay.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued the warning during the daily press briefing.

According to her, Trump has reimposed crippling sanctions on the Iranian regime.

“The president has reimposed crippling sanctions on the Iranian regime, and he has made it very clear to Iran that they have a choice to make,” Leavitt said.

“You can strike a deal with the president, you can negotiate, or there will be hell to pay.

“As the president said yesterday, if they don’t choose to move forward with diplomacy and a deal—which is the direction we do not see them headed in—there will be grave consequences today.”

This comes after Trump, on Monday, announced that the U.S. and Iran would begin direct talks about Tehran’s nuclear program.

The U.S. president called it a “very big meeting.”

He said the talks cannot fail because Iran would be in “great danger” and “can’t have a nuclear weapon.”
