For more on this story: https://sc.mp/wz2do
US President Donald Trump took time out from deliberating on whether to bomb Iran on June 18, 2025, to unveil two huge new flagpoles that he claimed were among the best in the world. The 79-year-old leader saluted as a giant Stars and Stripes flag was raised on one of the 27-metre (88ft) poles, in a brief ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House. The billionaire real estate tycoon, who built his career on brash displays of wealth, said he was personally paying for each of the US$50,000 poles.

China cuts US Treasury stockpiles to 16-year low amid Trump's trade war
China reduced its stockpile of US Treasuries to a 16-year low in April, as an escalating trade war with Washington sparked concerns about the long-standing status of American government bonds as the world's safest asset. Beijing's holdings dropped to US$757 billion, down US$8.2 billion from March, according to the latest data released by the US Treasury Department. The figures for April marked the second consecutive month of decline and the lowest level since March 2009, according to data compiled by Wind. Having already slipped to the No. 3 position among foreign holders in March – behind Japan and the United Kingdom – China continued its steady retreat from US government debt, a trend that began during Trump's first term. On April 2, dubbed 'Liberation Day', Trump launched sweeping 'reciprocal tariffs' on allies and adversaries alike. The move sparked turmoil in global markets, sending US stocks tumbling and triggering sharp sell-offs in both Treasuries and the dollar. Tit-for-tat tariff exchanges between the US and China quickly escalated, with duties on both sides reaching over 100 per cent before a temporary ceasefire agreed in May rolled back most of the levies. There was concern that the trade war between the world's two largest economies would spill over into financial markets , with speculation that Beijing could dump its vast holdings of US Treasury securities and that Washington could delist Chinese companies from American stock exchanges. Given the rising tensions between the two superpowers, Chinese economists have cautioned against the weaponisation of the US dollar amid fears that Washington could one day seize Chinese overseas financial assets – similar to the actions taken against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.

Behind Trump's deportation theatre lies an American tragedy
The streets of Los Angeles have erupted in recent days, manifesting deep-seated tensions triggered by US President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. Sparked by high-profile Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the city, targeting workplaces and even prompting the arrest of a prominent union leader , thousands have taken to the streets in protest. Mayor Karen Bass has condemned the actions : 'When you raid Home Depots and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armoured caravans through our streets, you're not trying to keep anyone safe. You're trying to cause fear and panic.' California governor Gavin Newsom has engaged in a sharp verbal and legal clash with Trump, criticising his decision to deploy National Guard troops and the Marines to help the raids and quell the protests, denouncing it as an 'unnecessary provocation' and a 'brazen abuse of power' Trump, in turn, defended his intervention, calling Newsom 'incompetent' and claiming federal forces were necessary amid a 'rebellion' These demonstrations and the political clashes underscore a critical reality: Trump's approach to immigration has transformed US border and interior enforcement into a jarring spectacle, prioritising displays of force over effective, humane policy. This theatrical enforcement, far from instilling security, primarily generates fear and outrage, and leaves the system straining to meet unrealistic deportation targets even as America's global reputation rapidly deteriorates.

Will a leaked phone call lead to a Thailand coup?
Advertisement In the leaked audio clip which emerged on Wednesday, Paetongtarn was heard addressing Hun Sen, a family friend, as 'uncle' and appeared to dismiss a Thai military commander. The clip has sparked outrage from quarters of the country's ruling coalition, including the withdrawal of a key royalist partner group of Paetongtarn's Pheu Thai party, as well as calls for her to resign. 'I would like to apologise for the leaked audio of my conversation with a Cambodian leader which has caused public resentment,' Paetongtarn, 38, said on Thursday. Greg Raymond, a senior lecturer at the Australian National University's Coral Bell School of Asia-Pacific Affairs, said he had heard the leaked call, which might 'spell the end' for Paetongtarn, adding however: 'I suspect no coup will take place.' Advertisement 'It's a typical rumour and although I might be wrong, it will be fairly easy for the Pheu Thai government to be brought down now by other means,' he said, pointing to options that included judicially or through a parliamentary shake-up.
