J-Hope is speculated to reunite with him on that day, as it coincides with the date of his scheduled promotional activity for Killin' It Girl. The fact that the activity is tagged as "special" with no revelation of further details, adds fuel to the speculations of the possibility. However, the "special" could even mean something else as well, as it is marked for four days– June 19 to 22.

Sinner and Djokovic step up French Open challenges
Women's second seed and former Roland Garros finalist Coco Gauff also targets a place in the last 16 along with 18-year-old contender Mirra Andreeva. World number one Sinner faces his second French opponent in a row at Roland Garros and is expecting a memorable encounter against the 38-year-old Gasquet, playing at the tournament for the 22nd and final time. "I know you're going to support him (Gasquet), it's OK, I know that," Sinner told the crowd after his first-round win over hope Arthur Rinderknech. "I'm just happy to share a court with him." The 23-year-old Italian showed some signs of rustiness against Rinderknech in just his seventh match back since returning from a three-month doping suspension. Sinner made his comeback at the Italian Open earlier in May, reaching the final before losing in straight sets to reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic, fresh off his 100th ATP title last weekend, got his tilt at a fourth French Open title off to a solid start on Tuesday. The Serbian sixth seed will need to be on his guard against crafty Frenchman Corentin Moutet. "I don't know how many more Grand Slams I've got left in my body," Djokovic said after the opening round. "I spent quite a bit of time in making sure that every step of the way in preparation and prevention is respected in order for me to still be able to play on this level." Third-ranked Alexander Zverev meets Jesper de Jong for a place in round three, with Alex de Minaur, Jakub Mensik, Arthur Fils and Joao Fonseca all returning to the court as well on Thursday. Gael Monfils looks to pull off an upset over British fifth seed Jack Draper in the night session after fighting back from two sets down under the lights on Court Philippe Chatrier in his opener. Gauff, Andreeva powering up Gauff laughed off an amusing lapse that led to her arriving on court without any racquets ahead of her first-round win. The American said it actually helped her relax as she targets a first title since last year's WTA Finals, having come up just short in Madrid and Rome. "I think as the rounds go, I think it's just with every tournament you feel more comfortable out there on the court," said Gauff, who plays Czech qualifier Tereza Valentova in her second match. "You have a match under your belt and know how to deal with certain situations. I think the first round is the most nervous I get. After that, you just feel like it's a little bit more smooth sailing." Sixth seed Andreeva, who had an impressive run to the semi-finals at Roland Garros last year, plays American Ashlyn Krueger. Andreeva is playing her first Grand Slam as a top-10 seed after capturing WTA 1000 series titles in Dubai and Indian Wells. Third seed Jessica Pegula plays fellow American Ann Li, while Australian Open champion Madison Keys takes on Britain's Katie Boulter.

US court blocks Trump's tariffs from going into effect
A US trade court has blocked President Donald Trump's tariffs from going into effect in a sweeping ruling that the president overstepped his authority by imposing across the board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy. The Court of International Trade said the US Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that is not overridden by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the US economy. "The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the president's use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it," a three-judge panel said in the decision. The Trump administration minutes later filed a notice of appeal and questioned the authority of the court. The decisions of the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade, which hears disputes involving international trade and customs laws, can be appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington DC and ultimately the US Supreme Court. Mr Trump has made charging US importers tariffs on goods from foreign countries the central policy of his ongoing trade wars, which have severely disrupted global trade flows and roiled financial markets. Companies of all sizes have been impacted by Mr Trump's swift imposition of tariffs and sudden reversals as they seek to manage supply chains, production, staffing and prices. A White House spokesperson said US trade deficits with other countries constituted "a national emergency that has decimated American communities, left our workers behind, and weakened our defence industrial base - facts that the court did not dispute". "It is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency," Kush Desai, the spokesperson, said in a statement. Financial markets welcomed the ruling. The US dollar rallied following the court's order, surging against currencies such as the euro, yen and the Swiss franc in particular. Wall Street futures rose and equities across Asia also rose. The ruling, if it stands, weakens Mr Trump's strategy to use steep tariffs to wring concessions from trading partners, draw manufacturing jobs back to US shores and shrink a $1.2 trillion US goods trade deficit, which were among his key campaign promises. Without the instant leverage provided by the tariffs of 10% to 54% that the president declared under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) - which is meant to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during a national emergency - the Trump administration would have to take a slower approach of lengthier trade investigations under other trade laws to back its tariff threats. The ruling came in a pair of lawsuits, one filed by the nonpartisan Liberty Justice Center on behalf of five small US businesses that import goods from countries targeted by the duties and the other by 13 US states. The companies, which range from a New York wine and spirits importer to a Virginia-based maker of educational kits and musical instruments, have said the tariffs will hurt their ability to do business. "There is no question here of narrowly tailored relief; if the challenged tariff orders are unlawful as to plaintiffs they are unlawful as to all," the trade court wrote in its decision. At least five other legal challenges to the tariffs are pending. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, a Democrat whose office is leading the states' lawsuit, called Mr Trump's tariffs unlawful, reckless and economically devastating. "This ruling reaffirms that our laws matter and that trade decisions can't be made on the president's whim," Mr Rayfield said in a statement. Mr Trump has claimed broad authority to set tariffs under IEEPA. The law has historically been used to impose sanctions on enemies of the US or freeze their assets. Mr Trump is the first US president to use it to impose tariffs. The Justice Department has said the lawsuits should be dismissed because the plaintiffs have not been harmed by tariffs that they have not yet paid and because only Congress, not private businesses, can challenge a national emergency declared by the president under IEEPA. In imposing the tariffs in early April, Mr Trump called the trade deficit a national emergency that justified his 10% across the board tariff on all imports, with higher rates for countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, particularly China. Many of those country-specific tariffs were paused a week later. while working on a longer term trade deal.
