The US backs Morocco's claim over the Sahara region. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Washington last Tuesday.

Trump believes China wants to strike a trade deal with America after he raised tariffs against them. He announced a 90-day pause for all other countries, which sent markets upward - Tesla gained 21%, and United Airlines jumped 25%.

He mentioned that many countries are showing interest in negotiating better trade terms with America. These nations can approach the White House, Treasury Department, or Commerce...
