Firefighters in US attacked: At least 2 dead in sniper ambush in Idaho; Sheriff says 'don't know how many suspects up there'
At least two people, suspected to be firefighters, died during a sniper ambush in US's Idaho on Sunday (local time). Fire crews were at Canfield Mountain to put off a blaze when gunshots rang out about 30 minutes later, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

“We don’t know how many suspects are up there, and we don’t know how many casualties there are,” AP quoted Sheriff Bob Norris saying. “We are actively taking sniper fire as we speak,” Norris added.

“I’m hoping that somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralize, because they’re not at this point in time showing any evidence of wanting to surrender,” he said.

The sheriff said that since people are still making their way down the mountain, it’s “safe to assume” that others remain on it.

Condemning the attack, governor Brad Little said that “multiple” firefighters were attacked. “This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters,” Little said, adding, “I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more.

”The Kootenai County emergency management office urged the public to steer clear of the Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Nettleton Gulch Road area, about 4 miles north of downtown Coeur d’Alene, as the fire remained active, officials said.

Trump’s Trade Policies Risk U.S. Economic Fallout

President Trump’s aggressive trade and tariff policies are making the U.S. economy increasingly vulnerable. By pressuring global economies with import levies, he risks inflaming trade tensions and disrupting global supply chains. As the French President put it, a powerful nation is now using economic blackmail to reset global trade norms.

The U.K. signed a partial deal, and China offered a conditional handshake—using rare earth exports as leverage to secure limited tariff relief. But broader global cooperation remains elusive. Major economies—Europe, Japan, Canada, Mexico, India—have resisted Trump’s tough terms. If no resolution is reached by July 9, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods could kick in, slowing industrial output and potentially triggering a global recession.

Trump appears to have misread key trade dynamics. For example, while he complains about Japanese car imports, most Japanese-brand vehicles sold in the U.S. are built domestically by American workers. Tariffs on such cars would hurt U.S. factories, not Japan.

In Canada’s case, the current trade imbalance stems from Trump’s own 2016–2020 deal. Now, with a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum, Canada is preparing countermeasures. Result: rising costs for steel-based goods on both sides of the border.

With negotiations stalled, the price of protectionism may be economic pain at home and abroad.

Coming back to the key point that those coercive policies which President Trump had adopted could or would throw America and rest of the world in an economic turmoil. It would appear that his understanding of world trade economics is driven by a few right wingers of his party. They are leading him to a disaster.

I fully believe we will see the anschluss of Taiwan during this clown's term.

The Deep State cucks know that them, Japan, SoKo and pinoypines combined will take an insane amount of casualties trying to stop the Chong, so they will make their Orange puppet make a ((( deal ))) where he sells out Taiwan for China promising to import us soybean or whatever.

This will be a major foreign policy L that will be blamed on the orange guy's person, then he will end up like Kennedy or Lincoln.

US can't mess around with China, period. We can either accept this and create a parallel to China so that the US has an exit ramp and therefore we get some leverage, or we can whine and tweet about it and sit our asses.

China didn't get its privilege by sitting on its asses, pooping the streets and doing 9-5 "gormint naukri"; it got to where it is by sheer work, prgamatism and realpolitik.

Do you think they didn't face racism, discrminiation and hurdles when they were rising? They did, but they sucked it up and chugged along.

The result is that today China:
  1. 2nd biggest creditor to the US
  2. largest exporter of all resorts
  3. has a formidable internal and international supply chain network
  4. can outproduce the entire West 10:1
  5. has a world-class infrastructure that only Japan, Korea and Singapore can remotely match
Donald cannot just wish them away when they have a trade surplus with 160 out of 195 countries worldwide.

China limited exports of just a handful of rare earth materials and the US MIC stocks tanked at the very threat.

They have successfully coaxed Saudi and the UAE to sell them oil in RMB. They already buy oil and gas from Russia in RMB and recently converted Brazil as well into RMB-BRL format. Given that they produce so much, Xi doesn't need to enter a hot war to make the US beg.

Sure, China will suffer too if this trade war escalated, but they still have a formidable means of production and existing supply chains that would take at least 10 years for the US to re-establish on its soil even under war-like emergency powers.

4 years is nothing.
Countries can just wait it out by giving some scraps to US.

The only one in hurry is Trump, while he talks about these deals a dozen times a day, most leaders don't care.

Most people have realized the best policy with Trump is to ignore him and his bluster.

He won't dare one sided tarrifs as they will crash the market. So let him rant.

Meanwhile, life goes on as usual.

The biggest entraper in US history killed himself. 😂

Trump’s Economic Missiles May Hit on July 9

Trump has shaken the world with his unconventional and undiplomatic approach to global trade. While he boasted about breakthrough deals with Britain, China, and Vietnam, the reality is far less impressive. Most of these so-called agreements are merely frameworks for future talks—not finalized or enforceable deals. Only with China, where he had to plead for rare earth supplies. Elsewhere, it’s all style, no substance. There are 170 countries where trade deals are pending.

Trump shows little concern for these shortcomings. Instead, he takes credit for incomplete or non-existent achievements.

Now, with his self-imposed July 9 deadline looming, the world may be hit by a wave of U.S. tariffs—economic missiles that could destabilize global trade. Unless he delays the decision, chaos could begin that day. Importers into the U.S. will bear the cost, passing it on to American consumers in the form of higher prices.

Future is not far off when countries will be afraid of doing any business with America lead by Trump or fellow conservatives. With high prices in America, there is nothing the rest of the world can afford to buy from them. Bad news for American businesses.

Other countries won’t stand by. They’ll seek alternative markets or retaliate with counter-tariffs, further fuelling global inflation.
Trump’s tariff tactics are unlikely to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. The real damage lies in the uncertainty—crippling for business and costly for consumers, who will continue to suffer the whiplash of trade wars throughout his presidency.
