Ireland come from behind in Turkey to clinch battling win
Women's Uefa Nations League B TURKEY…1 (Kader Hancar 49 IRELAND… 2 (Busem Seker OG 79, Emily Murphy 89) Substitute Emily Murphy plundered a late winner against Turkey to afford Ireland the slender chance of leapfrogging Slovenia at Pairc Uí Chaoímh on Tuesday for top spot. With the Slovenians maintaining their perfect record by beating Greece 2-0 in Ljubljana, three points were a must in Istanbul. They were fortunate to take any after Kader Hancar gave the Turks a deserved lead early in the second half, forcing Carla Ward to rely on reinforcements such as throw-in specialist Megan Campbell from the substitutes' bench. Campbell's deep catapult from the sideline into a crowded penalty area with 11 minutes left met the head of the back-peddling Busem Seker, who glanced the ball over the head of her goalkeeper Selda Akgoz. Ireland chased the essential winner against the side situated 35 places behind them in Fifa's rankings and they were gifted with a minute remaining. Circumstance decreed that managing Katie McCabe gametime in the aftermath of her exertions with Arsenal's Champions League victory was ditched and her long punt proved fruitful. Inexplicably, Sejde Abrahamson slipped when attempting to clear, steering her header into the path of Murphy to smash her first international goal high into the net. The results mean Ireland must beat the table-toppers by at least four goals to usurp them for promotion to League A and guarantee entry into the playoff series for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. More to follow… TURKEY: S Akgoz; B Seker, G Hiz, S Abrahamson, I Civelek; E Topcu, M Cal, E Turkoglu; Miray Cin, K Hancar (M Ozturk 75). M Pekel. IRELAND: C Brosnan; A Mannion (C Hayes 46), A Patten, J Stapleton, K McCabe: M Connolly; A Larkin (S Noonan 60), D O'Sullivan, M Sheeva (K Carusa 60), Lucy Quinn (M Campbell 75); A Barrett (E Murphy 60).

No more ‘Mr. Nice Guy'? Trump says China is ignoring trade deal
President Donald Trump took to social media Friday morning to register his displeasure with China's trade conduct, claiming the Asian powerhouse is in violation of a recently struck agreement that saw massive retaliatory tariffs put on hold. Trump said the temporary trade deal, reached after top U.S. and Chinese trade officials met in Geneva, Switzerland, two weeks ago, was a win for both countries but is now in jeopardy thanks to China's violation of terms of the agreement. 'Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger!,' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. 'The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, 'civil unrest.' I saw what was happening and didn't like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn't want to see that happen. 'Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!! The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' In a deal announced May 12, both countries agreed to roll back reciprocal tariffs to a 10% rate for a 90-day period beginning May 14. Other, sector-specific U.S. trade levies on steel, aluminum and automobiles remained in place, as did a 20% tariff Trump announced earlier this year to address fentanyl trafficking. The announcement followed two days of meetings in Geneva between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer with a delegation of Chinese officials. 'We had very productive talks and I believe that the venue, here in Lake Geneva, added great equanimity to what was a very positive process,' Bessent said when the deal was announced. 'We have reached an agreement on a 90-day pause and substantially move down the tariff levels. Both sides on the reciprocal tariffs will move their tariffs down 115%.' Trump, at the time, lauded the deal as 'historic.' 'The talks in Geneva were very friendly, the relationship is very good,' the president said. 'We're not looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories, they were having a lot of unrest and they were very happy to be doing something with us.' Trump also suggested the biggest win out of the negotiations was the possibility that China could be on the cusp of agreeing to creating broader access for American goods and businesses within Chinese borders. 'The biggest thing that we're discussing is the opening up (of) China and they've agreed to do that but it's going to take a while to paper it,' Trump said. 'If we do get it, I think it's the most important thing to have. We opened our country to China … and they didn't open their country to us. They've agreed to open China, fully open China. I think it's going to be great for unification and peace." In comments made during a Friday interview with CNBC, Greer mirrored Trump's allegation, saying 'we're very concerned with' China's purported noncompliance with the temporary trade deal. The 'United States did exactly what it was supposed to do, and the Chinese are slow rolling their compliance,' Greer said.

Trump Issues Deranged Threat to China Over 'Stalled' Tariff Talks
Donald Trump has decided that his reign as 'Mr. Nice Guy' on his Chinese tariff plan has come to an end. In a Truth Social post Friday, the president claimed that his supposedly soft approach on China in his tariff negotiations had greatly benefited their economy, but added that the Eastern powerhouse had 'totally violated' the trade arrangement. 'Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger!' Trump wrote. 'The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to TRADE into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World. We went, in effect, COLD TURKEY with China, and it was devastating for them.' 'Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, 'civil unrest.' I saw what was happening and didn't like it, for them, not for us. I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn't want to see that happen,' he continued. 'Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!!' 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' The announcement followed a Thursday night Fox News interview with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in which the trade negotiator said that talks between the two countries had 'stalled.' Earlier this month, the Trump administration temporarily lowered its import duties on Chinese goods to 30 percent from 145 percent. In exchange, China said it would lower its import tariff on American products to 10 percent from 125 percent. Both nations agreed to maintain a reciprocal tariff rate of 10 percent. But how countries plan to continue negotiations with the White House over the hit-and-miss trade agreements is unclear, especially after components of Trump's plan were deemed illegal by different U.S. courts. Trump's tariff plan was blocked by a trade court Wednesday, with a three-judge panel ruling that the president's plan exceeded 'any authority granted' by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. (That ruling has been temporarily paused, leaving the tariffs in place, while the government appeals the decision.) Less than 24 hours later, another court intervened in Trump's levies, denoting in a two-page order that the duties were 'unlawful.'

Since then, the Trump administration has turned its focus to trade talks with other partners, including Japan, India, and the EU.

Donald Trump accuses China of violating trade deal, says US tariffs had pushed China into ‘grave economic danger'
By News Desk Published on May 30, 2025, 17:45 IST Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday claimed that China had been on the brink of severe economic trouble due to the tariffs imposed during his administration, and accused Beijing of violating a trade agreement made to ease the crisis. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the high tariffs made it 'virtually impossible' for China to trade into the US market, calling the action equivalent to going 'COLD TURKEY' with China. He said this led to widespread factory closures and 'civil unrest' in China. Trump further stated that he had intervened by negotiating a 'FAST DEAL' to stabilize the situation, not for the US but to prevent a deeper crisis in China. 'Everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual,' he wrote. However, Trump sharply criticized China for what he called a breach of that agreement. 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' he said, ending his post with: 'So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' Trump's comments come amid renewed tensions in US-China trade relations as Washington weighs additional tariffs on Chinese goods. News desk at
