US President Donald Trump is dismissing business concerns over the uncertainty caused by his planned tariffs. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday the Trump administration had finished its six-week purge of programs of the six-decade-old US Agency for International Development. The federal government has shut down ordering from the site where Americans could have COVID-19 tests delivered to their mailboxes for no charge. Abortion rights supporters were marking the day Monday through letter and postcard writing events, donation drives, social media posts and sidewalk chalking with messages of support. The day honours the life of David Gunn, a doctor who was shot to death outside an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida in 1993. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is designed to protect abortion clinics from obstruction and threats, was passed in 1994 in response to Gunn’s murder and mounting violence against clinics. China’s foreign ministry uttered its sharpest retort yet: “We’re ready to fight any type of type of war the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of fight till the end.”
