Wave of anger in Security Council after US "veto"
New York - (Saba): The United States' use of its veto yesterday, Wednesday, against a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and allowing unrestricted humanitarian access to the besieged Strip has angered the rest of the UN Security Council members. Pakistani Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmed strongly criticized the US veto, considering it a "green light for genocide" in Gaza and a "moral stain on the conscience" of the UN Security Council. His Algerian counterpart, Ammar Ben Jamaa, said, "Silence does not defend the dead, nor does it hold the hands of the dying, nor does it confront the repercussions of injustice." Slovenian Ambassador Samuel Zbogar said, "At a time when humanity is being tested live in Gaza, this draft resolution was born out of our shared sense of responsibility. Responsibility towards the civilians in Gaza, towards the Israeli hostages held in the Palestinian Strip, and responsibility before history." He added, "Enough, enough." For their part, the French and British ambassadors expressed regret over the outcome of the vote, while Chinese Ambassador Fu Cong directly blamed the United States, calling on it to abandon political calculations and adopt a fair and responsible stance.

Trump: Hard to make deal with Chinese president
Washington - Saba: US President Donald Trump said he respects Chinese President Xi Jinping, but stressed that negotiating with his Chinese counterpart is very difficult. In a post he wrote on the Truth Social platform on Wednesday, according to Sputnik, Trump said: "I liked Chinese President Xi Jinping, and I still like him, but he is very tough and very difficult to make deals with." Trump's statement comes at a time of escalating tensions between Washington and Beijing over economic, trade, and military issues. Last Monday, the White House indicated that Trump and his Chinese counterpart were likely to hold a phone call this week. However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that it had no information about an imminent phone call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump. Last week, Trump accused China of violating the recently reached agreement to reduce tariffs. On May 12, 2025, the United States and China agreed to a trade truce. Washington reduced its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145 percent to 30 percent, while China reduced its tariffs on US goods from 125 percent to 10 percent. This truce will last for 90 days. In a joint statement, the two governments announced their commitment to take these steps by May 14, 2025, recognizing the importance of bilateral economic relations and their impact on the global economy, and seeking to establish a long-term, sustainable, and mutually beneficial relationship. The announcement came after marathon trade negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, between officials from the world's two largest economies, during which both sides hailed "tangible progress."
