China tells US envoy Washington must get ties back on 'right track'
BEIJING -The U.S. should create the necessary conditions for bilateral relations to get back onto "the right track," China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the U.S. ambassador to Beijing on Tuesday, according to a ministry statement.
After trade talks last month in Geneva, China has "conscientiously and strictly" implemented the consensus reached by both sides, but it is "regrettable that the U.S. recently introduced a series of 'negative' measures", which China firmly opposes, Wang told Ambassador David Perdue.
Bilateral relations are at a critical juncture, and dialogue and cooperation are "the only correct choice," Wang said.
Perdue said in an X post after the meeting that he had emphasized U.S. President Donald Trump's priorities on trade, fentanyl, and illegal immigration, adding that "communication is vital" to U.S.-China relations.
Trump on Friday accused China of violating a bilateral deal to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions，and the U.S. has ordered curbs on chip design software and other shipments to China.
The Geneva truce to dial back triple-digit tariffs for 90 days prompted a massive relief rally in global stocks. But it did nothing to address the underlying reasons for Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, mainly longstanding U.S. complaints about China's state-dominated, export-driven economic model.
Senior U.S. officials have said this week that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would speak soon to iron out trade issues, including a dispute over critical minerals and China's restrictions on exports of certain minerals.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a regular news briefing on Tuesday the Trump administration "is actively monitoring China's compliance with the Geneva trade agreement," and added that "there will be a leader to leader talk very soon."

Trump's travel ban: After restricting entry of people from 19 nations, President says this country is next
US President Donald Trump has imposed a sweeping new travel ban affecting 19 countries and now even warned that Egypt could be added to the list next following a violent attack in Colorado involving an Egyptian national, as per a report. Donald Trump's Widespread Ban Targets 19 Nations In a video message posted by the president after the ban was announced, he said, "We don't want 'em," adding, "Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen," quoted Daily Mail. The new restrictions, set to take effect June 9, will ban or severely limit entry into the United States from countries where the screening and vetting capabilities are not up to the president's standards, which has put Egypt on high alert, according to the report. 12 Countries Face Full Travel Ban The order completely bans nationals from 12 countries from entering the US, which includes Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, reported Daily Mail. Partial Restrictions for 7 Others Seven more nations, like Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela, will face partial travel bans, as per Daily Mail. Citizens of the countries will be partially restricted from travelling into the US, removing access to all immigrant visas and several non-immigrant travel options, according to the report. Egypt Under Close Watch Following Colorado Attack Trump also pointed to the recent Colorado incident, where an Egyptian national Mohamed Soliman allegedly threw a firebomb at pro-Israel demonstrators while staying in the US illegally, as per Daily Mail. Live Events Soliman, reportedly living in the United States with his wife and five children, who have overstayed their visa, as per the report. The president cited the Egyptian national's action as example of what happens when foreign nationals are not properly vetted. Trump said the "tragedy in Boulder underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted," quoted Daily Mail. He also highlighted that, "We've seen one terror attack after another from foreign visa overstayers... thanks to Biden's open door policies today there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country," as quoted in the report. Meanwhile, the US president has asked several of his top national security chiefs to investigate and decide if Egypt should also be added to the list of banned countries, reported Daily Mail. Security Chiefs Tasked with Reviewing Egypt's Screening Trump wrote in a proclamation, "In light of recent events, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall provide me an update to the review of the practices and procedures of Egypt," and added that he hopes their efforts will "confirm the adequacy of its current screening and vetting capabilities," quoted Daily Mail. FAQs Why is Trump banning people from these 19 countries? Trump says the countries don't have strong enough vetting processes, which could allow dangerous individuals to enter the US. Why is Egypt being considered for the ban now? An Egyptian national living illegally in the US allegedly carried out a violent attack in Colorado, raising concerns about Egypt's vetting procedures .

Trump Administration Arrests Record Number Of Immigrants In A Single Day
Curated By : Last Updated: June 05, 2025, 19:51 IST US President Donald Trump (Getty) The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 2,200 individuals- the largest number of immigrant detentions recorded in a single day, NBC News reported. The move is likely driven by mounting political pressure from senior Trump administration aides, including former White House adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who have directed ICE to escalate enforcement and target up to 3,000 arrests daily, it was reported. Arrested Immigrants Were Being Monitored Most of those arrested were already enrolled in ICE's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program- designed to monitor undocumented immigrants considered low-risk. Participants are typically tracked using GPS-enabled ankle bracelets, smartphone apps, or are required to attend regular check-ins with ICE officers, the report noted. ICE Sent Mass Text Messages Before Arrest ICE sent mass text messages to ATD enrollees asking them to report early to local field offices. Many who complied were arrested on arrival, including seven individuals at a single facility. Owing to this shift in tactics, immigration attorneys and advocacy groups said this is a significant breach of trust and may violate due process, particularly as some of those arrested did not have final deportation orders. Greg Chen, senior director at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said, 'This is mass-scale enforcement that feels indiscriminate. People are now increasingly afraid and intimidated." Swipe Left For Next Video View all The ATD program, established during the Joe Biden administration, has been widely praised for its 98.5% compliance rate with scheduled ICE appointments. ICE has yet to issue a formal statement on the operation.
