The first to return was the same one that landed on Monday.Boeing has previously said customers in China would not take delivery of new planes due to tariffs, and it was looking to resell potentially dozens of aircraft.However the planemaker had not sent the planes elsewhere, despite wanting to cut inventory.Beijing has not commented on why Boeing deliveries stopped, but said Chinese airlines and Boeing had been severely affected by US-imposed tariffs.In April, Boeing said it had planned for 50 jets to go to Chinese carriers during the rest of the year, with 41 in production or pre-built.

Representative image Iurii Gugnin , a 38-year-old founder of a US-based cryptocurrency payments company, has been charged with orchestrating an international money laundering scheme that allegedly channeled over $500 million through the American financial system on behalf of sanctioned Russian banks and other entities. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Gugnin used his companies – Evita investments and Evita Pay , to move millions of dollars between June 2023 and January 2025. He allegedly concealed the true origin and purpose of the funds. The transactions were primarily conducted using tether, a widely used stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, the DOJ said.

The US and China imposed reciprocal tariffs in April, which ignited trade war concerns. But last month, both countries agreed to a temporary pause in tariffs against each other, offering some relief to financial markets.

Citing trade wars, the World Bank sharply downgrades global economic growth forecast to 2.3%
President Donald Trump's trade wars are expected to slash economic growth this year in the United States and around the world, the World Bank forecast Tuesday. Citing "a substantial rise in trade barriers'' but without mentioning Trump by name, the 189-country lender predicted that the U.S. economy - the world's largest - would grow half as fast (1.4%) this year as it did in 2024 (2.8%). That marked a downgrade from the 2.3% U.S. growth it had forecast back for 2025 back in January. The bank also lopped 0.4 percentage points off its forecast for global growth this year. It now expects the world economy to expand just 2.3% in 2025, down from 2.8% in 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo In a forward to the latest version of the twice-yearly Global Economic Prospects report, World Bank chief economist Indermit Gill wrote that the global economy has missed its chance for the "soft landing'' - slowing enough to tame inflation without generating serious pain - it appeared headed for just six months ago. "The world economy today is once more running into turbulence," Gill wrote. "Without a swift course correction, the harm to living standards could be deep.'' America's economic prospects have been clouded by Trump's erratic and aggressive trade policies, including 10% taxes - tariffs - on imports from almost every country in the world. These levies drive up costs in the U.S. and invite retaliation from other countries. Live Events The Chinese economy is forecast to see growth slow from 5% in 2024 to 4.5% this year and 4% next. The world's second-largest economy has been hobbled by the tariffs that Trump has imposed on its exports, by the collapse of its real estate market and by an aging workforce. The World Bank expects the 20 European countries that share the euro currency to collectively grow just 0.7% this year, down from an already lackluster 0.9% in 2024. Trump's tariffs are expected to hurt European exports. And the unpredictable way he rolls them out - announcing them, suspending them, coming up with new ones - has created uncertainty that discourages business investment. India is once again expected to the be world's fastest-growing major economy, expanding at a 6.3% clip this year. But that's down from 6.5% in 2024 and from the 6.7% the bank had forecast for 2025 in January. In Japan, economic growth is expected to accelerate this year - but only from 0.2% in 2024 to a sluggish 0.7% this year, well short of the 1.2% the World Bank had forecast in January. The World Bank seeks to reduce poverty and boost living standards by providing grants and low-rate loans to poor economies. Another multinational organization that seeks to promote global prosperity - the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - last week downgraded its forecast for the U.S. and global economies.
