Man throws Molotov cocktails at pro-Israeli event (VIDEOS)
An unidentified man has been detained in Boulder, Colorado, after throwing Molotov cocktails at attendees of a demonstration held in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Videos from the scene show a shirtless man carrying what appear to be bottles of flammable liquid while shouting pro-Palestinian slogans. He is later seen lying on the ground as police move in to detain him.
'We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available,' FBI Director Kash Patel said on X.
Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said officers responded to a report of a suspect 'setting people on fire.' He confirmed that several people had been hospitalized, with injuries ranging 'from very serious to more minor.'

US extends tariff exemptions on certain Chinese imports
The US has extended a tariff pause on certain Chinese imports through August 31. The move comes as negotiations between the globe's two largest economies on the reciprocal tariff hikes from April remain at an impasse. The extension concerns the 10% tariffs introduced under the investigation into China's policies on technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation launched during President Donald Trump's first term. Most of the tariffs were retained by Trump's successor, Joe Biden, along with exemptions on a range of products. These exemptions have undergone regular extensions, with the most recent expiring last month. According to a notice from the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) dated May 31, the extensions will remain in place for an additional three months. They apply to 164 Chinese goods, including semiconductor components, telecommunications hardware, aerospace items, and medical device parts. The notice also maintains exemptions for 14 categories of Chinese solar panel manufacturing equipment, such as wafer slicers and module laminators, granted in September 2024. No new items were added. The extension follows a tentative deal reached between the US and China in May following weeks of tit-for-tat tariff hikes. In April, Trump raised duties on Chinese goods to as high as 145%, citing what he called an unfair trade imbalance. Beijing responded with tariffs of up to 125%. Under the May deal, the countries agreed to suspend most new tariffs for 90 days pending further talks, while maintaining a baseline 10% rate on mutual imports on top of existing US duties. However, both sides have complained that the talks have since faltered. Washington has claimed that China has not delivered on promises to roll back export controls on key industrial products, such as rare-earth minerals and magnets, which Beijing introduced in response to US tariff hikes. On Friday, Trump accused China of 'totally violating' the May agreement. Beijing pushed back on Monday, accusing Washington itself of breaching the terms of the deal. China's Ministry of Commerce cited several US measures it claims violate the agreement, including warnings against Chinese telecom giant Huawei, restrictions on chip design software sales to Chinese firms, and the cancelation of student visas for Chinese nationals.

Trump ‘at the end of his rope' on Ukraine
US President Donald Trump appears to be 'at the end of his rope' over the conflict in Ukraine, Washington's top diplomat in Türkiye has told local media. Tom Barrack, US ambassador to Türkiye and special envoy for Syria, made the remarks during an interview with Turkish broadcaster NTV on Monday, in the wake of a second round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations which lasted approximately 90 minutes. He was asked about Kiev's calls for a high-level summit that would include Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky. Barrack indicated that any such meeting would need to be 'meaningful' and yield substantive outcomes, while acknowledging he could not speak for the US president directly. He added that Trump, who has openly expressed frustration with both Zelensky and Putin, is not known for his patience. Barrack said Türkiye could play a key role in facilitating a breakthrough, given its status as a mediator. Trump repeatedly used campaign rallies to claim he could resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours – a claim he later acknowledged was hyperbolic. His efforts to mediate, have faced resistance from European NATO members, who back continued military plans for Ukraine. Last month, following pressure from Trump, Kiev dropped its opposition to direct talks with Russia, which said such a move was the logical next step. Zelensky traveled to Türkiye on the date proposed by Moscow for the initial round, claiming he expected Putin to attend. Russia has maintained that a summit involving top leaders should be the culmination of the negotiation process, not a substitute for it. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reiterated the stance on Tuesday, saying a trilateral meeting with Zelensky and Trump appeared 'unlikely anytime soon.' At Monday's talks in Istanbul, Kiev reiterated its desire for a trilateral summit. Moscow, in turn, presented two potential paths toward a ceasefire and offered to return the bodies of 6,000 deceased Ukrainian soldiers as a goodwill gesture, which Kiev agreed to reciprocate.

White House covered up chemical spill cancer risk
The administration of former US President Joe Biden tried to cover up serious public health risks related to a 2023 toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, a whistleblower protection and advocacy group has claimed. The Government Accountability Project (GAP) has published a set of documents obtained through a lawsuit from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which allegedly prove that the White House deliberately chose to withhold the true scale of the catastrophe while intentionally avoiding contact with affected residents. On February 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying toxic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, derailed near the village of East Palestine, spilling its hazardous contents into a nearby waterway. Five tankers were later also deliberately ignited in a controlled burn. The incident forced evacuations, was linked to animal deaths, and led to reports of unexplained illnesses in the weeks that followed. Several months later, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publicly declared that East Palestine residents were 'not in danger,' citing air and water monitoring results. Biden had also praised what he called his administration's 'herculean efforts' to resolve the crisis. The government's response was heavily criticized at the time, with many calling out Biden for not visiting East Palestine sooner, downplaying the severity of the disaster, and prioritizing public relations over the health and safety concerns raised by residents and experts. According to GAP investigator Lesley Pacey, the public's fears have turned out to be justified, with internal documents showing that the White House, the EPA, and FEMA had privately discussed the serious dangers associated with the chemical spill, described internally as 'really toxic,' and 'deliberately kept this information from the community.' In an interview with NewsNation published on Saturday, Pacey explained that FEMA knew that the controlled chemical burn resulted in a 'really toxic plume' and that it could cause cancer clusters in the region and other health risks that would require 20 years of medical monitoring. The information was never publicly disclosed or acknowledged by FEMA or the White House as the Biden administration chose to focus on 'public reassurances' rather than 'worrying about public health,' Pacey told the New York Post. The emails obtained by GAP have also shown that FEMA's coordinator – sent to East Palestine to oversee recovery efforts, communicate with residents and assess their needs – was actually directly instructed to avoid engaging with the locals. 'They completely botched this event from the very beginning,' Pacey surmised.
