Trump Moves to Impose 10% Global Tariff After Court Setback

                                                        U.S. President Donald Trump In the wake of a major Supreme Court defeat, President Donald Trump announced that he will sign an executive order to impose a 10% global tariff on U.S. trading partners. The move comes just hours after the Court struck down his earlier sweeping tariff measures, ruling 6–3 that he had exceeded his authority under emergency powers.  Trump said the new tariff will be enacted under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows temporary trade measures to address balance‑of‑payments issues.

Gaza Aid Crisis: Soup Kitchens Shut Down Amid Israeli Blockade

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has deepened as World Central Kitchen, a leading aid organization, announced the closure of its community soup kitchens due to Israel’s ongoing blockade. The kitchens, which had been serving 133,000 meals per day and baking 80,000 loaves of bread, have run out of food supplies, leaving thousands without access to daily sustenance.

The blockade, imposed by Israel on March 2, has severely restricted the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, exacerbating food shortages and malnutrition. Aid agencies warn that the situation is pushing the population toward starvation, with nearly 10,000 children already treated for acute malnutrition this year.

José Andrés, the founder of World Central Kitchen, expressed frustration over the stalled aid deliveries, stating that trucks loaded with food and supplies are waiting in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, but cannot enter Gaza without permission. The Israeli defense body overseeing aid has indicated that the blockade will remain in place unless government policy changes.

The shutdown of soup kitchens marks another devastating blow to Gaza’s war-battered population, as bakeries close and water distribution grinds to a halt due to fuel shortages. Rights groups have condemned the blockade as a “starvation tactic”, calling for immediate humanitarian intervention.

With no clear resolution in sight, the people of Gaza continue to face worsening conditions, relying on dwindling resources and international pressure to ease the blockade.
