Today’s Headlines: China has halted Boeing jet deliveries and rare earth exports amid the ongoing trade war, while Trump announced a 20% tariff on Mexican tomatoes, aiming to pressure countries to isolate China. Greenland, meanwhile, is strengthening trade ties with Beijing. In the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a federal judge has ordered expedited discovery into his wrongful deportation to El Salvador, as Democratic senators plan a trip to push for his release—while the White House continues floating the idea of sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons. Princeton, MIT, and others are suing to block steep federal research cuts, and finally, 4chan was hacked, leaking internal data and user info.
