U.S. and China agree to pause most tariffs and Hamas to release Edan Alexander: Morning Rundown

The U.S. and China have agreed to a 90-day pause on most tariffs, marking a significant step towards easing their ongoing trade war, with U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods decreasing from 145% to 30% and China’s tariffs on U.S. goods dropping from 120% to 10%. Hamas announced it will release Edan Alexander, the last known American captive in Gaza, as a part of efforts to facilitate a ceasefire and aid access. Additionally, concerns are rising over the Trump administration’s discussions about potentially suspending habeas corpus, which has alarmed legal experts and Democrats.
