Trump touts 'great progress' as U.S. and China begin 2nd day of tariff talks
Social Sharing
The U.S. and China on Sunday resumed crucial tariff talks that have put the global economy on edge, but presented differing views on where the negotiations presently stand.
U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on social media that "great progress" was being made and even suggested a "total reset" was a possibility as the sides took their seats for the second and final scheduled day of discussions in Geneva.
Beijing has yet to comment directly but its official news agency took a tough approach, saying China will "firmly reject any proposal that compromises core principles or undermines the broader cause of global equity."

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking at an event hosted by the Institute of International Finance, says the 'persistent overreliance' on the U.S. for consumer demand is creating an 'evermore unbalanced' global economy, citing China's export-heavy economy as an 'unsustainable' model.
Trump's post gave no further details, and White House officials offered little information during and after the opening day of discussions.
Two officials, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, confirmed that the talks had resumed on Sunday morning.

Chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton speaks with former U.S. labour secretary Robert Reich about a possible trade deal with China and whether President Donald Trump could pause auto tariffs to give carmakers more time to move to the U.S.
The discussions could help stabilize world markets roiled by the U.S.-China standoff that has ships in port with goods from China unwilling to unload until they get the final word on tariffs.
The discussions have been shrouded in secrecy, and neither side made comments to reporters as they left Saturday.

Florida sheriff threatens to kill violent protesters ‘graveyard dead'
Demonstrators smash the windshield of a vehicle next to a burning Waymo vehicle as protesters clash with law enforcement in the streets surrounding the federal building during a protest following federal immigration operations in Los Angeles, California, on June 8, 2025.

Create Account As California officials continue to butt heads with U.S. President Donald Trump and his immigration enforcement agents, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey bluntly said those raucous actions won't be tolerated in his county. He went on to carefully explain what he meant by 'turn violent,' breaking down what punishment various offences could carry. 'If you resist lawful orders, you're going to jail,' he said in a press conference Thursday, ahead of a scheduled demonstration this weekend. 'If you block an intersection or a roadway, you're going to jail,' the sheriff continued. 'If you flee arrest, you're going to go to jail tired, because we are going to run you down and put you to jail.' 'If you try to mob-roll a car … gathering around and refusing to let the driver leave, in our county you're most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street,' Ivey said.

'If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital, and then jail, and most likely bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs here.' That's when Ivey gets to the more serious offences. 'If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at. Because we will kill you, graveyard dead,' he said. 'We're not going to play. This has got to stop.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Opponents of the Trump administration are set to rally in hundreds of cities on Saturday – which also happens to be the President's birthday – during the military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary. The 'No Kings' protests are set to take place to counter what organizers say are Trump's plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day, according to the Associated Press . Ivey's no-nonsense comments come days after Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd also warned protesters against rioting. With Florida Governor Ron DeSantis standing behind him at the press conference, Judd holds up two photos – one showing a 'peaceful protest' and the other showing a fiery 'riot.'

Why Chewy Stock Was Diving This Week
A badly received quarterly earnings report was the major news item exerting gravity on Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) stock over the past few days. As a result, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the company's share price had slumped by almost 15% week-to-date as of Thursday evening. Investors didn't like the latest milk bone That sell-off happened even though Chewy actually topped analyst estimates for revenue and profitability, albeit not by vast amounts. In its first quarter, the company managed to grow its net sales by more than 8% year over year to $3.1 billion, while its non- GAAP (adjusted) net income improved at a slightly higher rate to just under $149 million ($0.35 per share). Analysts had collectively been modeling a bit below $3.1 billion on the top line and $0.32 per share for adjusted profitability. While those aren't bad numbers at first glance, Chewy is an expensive stock to own; even after the post-earnings sell-off it was trading at a rich forward P/E of almost 36. For more than a few investors, that's awfully pricey for a company posting single-digit percentage improvements, and at thin profit margins to boot. Tepid reactions Meanwhile, as analysts tracking a stock often do, several pundits following Chewy adjusted their takes on the stock. Most of these adjusters raised their price targets, but there were several less bullish updates, too. One was published by Mizuho 's David Bellinger, who now feels Chewy is worth $44 per share, down from his previous $47. He maintained his neutral recommendation on the stock. It's hard to ignore how pricey this stock is at the moment, and to some degree that's a shame. Chewy has been posting good results from its Autoship program lately, a feature that still has plenty of potential to boost valuable recurring revenue. I'm not necessarily hot on this stock, but there might be some upside to it if it can post more convincing quarterly earnings beats. Should you invest $1,000 in Chewy right now? Before you buy stock in Chewy, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Chewy wasn't one of them.

Why Shares of D-Wave Quantum Are Sinking This Week
Since last Friday, shares of D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) fell nearly 15% as of the market close on Thursday. The stock also traded lower on Friday. While the quantum computing sector experienced some good news this week, D-Wave also announced an at-the-market (ATM) stock offering to potentially raise new capital. A potentially dilutive event D-Wave's ATM offering is with several brokerages and investment banks and will allow the company from time to time to conduct the "issuance and sale" of common stock for up to $400 million. The word issuance indicates that new shares could be offered to raise capital, which would be dilutive to existing shareholders. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission( SEC), D-Wave also said that cash balances on hand as of March 31 are enough "to fund the company to profitability." D-Wave plans to use any potential proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures (capex), acquiring new companies, or expanding the business, as well as for general working capital purposes. The news is disappointing because it comes during a week when Nvidia 's CEO Jensen Huang praised quantum computing. "We are within reach of being able to apply quantum computing in areas that can solve some interesting problems in the coming years," he said. Few CEOs can move the market, but Huang is one of them, being one of the most influential people in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Other quantum computing stocks jumped this week. What a run it's been Shareholders never like to see dilutive capital raises, but with D-Wave trading at an extremely high valuation, this is often when management will try and bring in additional capital to fund growth. Either way, it's been an incredible run. D-Wave's stock is up 1,268% over the last year and currently trades at 191 times forward sales. While D-Wave appears to be making real progress toward eventually mass producing quantum computers, it's very difficult to buy stocks at these kinds of meteoric valuations. I wouldn't recommend anything more than a small, speculative position at this time. Should you invest $1,000 in D-Wave Quantum right now? Before you buy stock in D-Wave Quantum, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and D-Wave Quantum wasn't one of them.
