President Trump will press China on its export of deadly fentanyl and related chemicals during a meeting next month with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, according to a senior Trump administration trade official.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who is leading preparations for the Beijing summit, also told Congress that the president will discuss obtaining greater access to rare earth minerals largely controlled globally by China when the two leaders meet.

Mr. Greer disclosed some details of the planned summit set for mid-May during testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Thursday.

OPINION_ Trump's Brilliant Blockade Chess Move Isn't Only About Iran (Nick Arama - REDSTATE)

Trump's Brilliant Blockade Chess Move Isn't Only About Iran

We've been reporting on the chokehold that President Donald Trump has on the Iranian regime, with Operation Epic Fury and his blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

It is considerable. From decimating its military to putting Iran in an economic vise with the blockade on ships going in and out of its ports. The U.S. is also reportedly considering seizing Iranian ships elsewhere in the world. They appeared to be talking about ships that are violating sanctions. On top of that, there's "Operation Economic Fury," going after the assets of the Iranian regime in Gulf state banks.

Don't Trust *And* Verify: US Amb. Waltz Says Iran Can Be Assured of 1 Thing Ahead of Any Nukes Agreement 

That is a prodigious squeeze play. Now, given the time, the U.S. could just sit and blockade them into submission because the regime is losing $435 million a day, something that they cannot sustain. That could itself topple the regime.

But there's someone else Trump has put a hold on in this, and it's been fascinating to watch this all play out from the Panama Canal and Venezuela to now: that's China. They're over the barrel too, because of the blockade on Iran.

We heard a lot from the Democrats and media when the Trump administration launched Operation Epic Fury, arguing that there was no real threat.

Now, there's a story from "60 Minutes" that actually points to how real the threat was because of the concern about the highly enriched uranium (HEU).

This Republican Just Introduced the 'Mamdani Act' – Here's What It Will Do

Jeff Charles | April 20, 2026 2:30 PM

Republican Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) plans to introduce a bill named after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani that would target immigrants tied to Communist or radical Islamist organizations.

The bill, which was provided to Breitbart News, seeks to prevent people with radical political affiliations from entering the country.

According to the bill text, Roy would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any alien who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates or advocated for a Chinese communist party, communist party, socialist party, Islamic fundamentalist party, or any other totalitarian party (or subdivision or affiliate thereof), domestic or foreign.

The legislation would also apply to any alien who is or was affiliated with, or who advocates or advocated for, any organization that advocates socialism, communism, Chinese communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.

The bill would also create new grounds for deportation. Under the legislation, an alien could be removed from the United States if he has engaged, is engaged, or at any time after admission engages in advocacy for communism, Chinese communism, socialism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism; writes, distributes, circulates, prints, displays, possesses, or publishes any written, electronic, or printed matter that advocates those ideologies or that is on behalf of or advocates for such parties; or is, has been, or becomes a member of or affiliated with such parties or organizations.

US_ Grand Jury Subpoenas Issued in Probe of Fmr CIA Head Brennan (Solange Reyner - NEWSMAX)

Grand Jury Subpoenas Issued in Probe of Fmr CIA Head Brennan

By Solange Reyner | Monday, 20 April 2026 04:26 PM EDT


Former senior intelligence and FBI officials cooperating with the Justice Department's criminal investigation into whether former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., this week, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, CBS News reports.

The focus of the probe is on Brennan's 2023 testimony to Congress about the intelligence community's 2017 assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Lawmakers led by House Republicans claim Brennan misrepresented the CIA's role in using the Steele dossier in that 2017 intelligence report.

The subpoenas went out to witnesses shortly after the DOJ appointed Joe diGenova to formally take over the criminal probe.

Brennan served as CIA director under President Barack Obama and was in that role when the intelligence community in January 2017 published an assessment detailing Russian interference aimed at helping President Donald Trump defeat Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.

An investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Russia meddled on Trump's behalf and that his campaign welcomed the assistance, but it did not find sufficient evidence to prove a criminal conspiracy.

Trump and his allies call the whole Russia probe a hoax to undermine his presidency.

The Justice Department last year received a criminal referral from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, alleging that Brennan made false statements before the panel in 2023 about the preparation of the intelligence community assessment. Brennan and his lawyers have vigorously denied any wrongdoing.

The investigation has been unfolding for months in Florida, with investigators having lined up interviews and issued subpoenas for records.

WORLD_ Trump’s bid to win influence in Africa hits great wall of entrenched China (Brady Knox - WASHINGTON EXAMINER)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Trump’s bid to win influence in Africa hits great wall of entrenched China

By Brady Knox
Published April 20, 2026 7:00am ET


The Trump administration is rehauling its approach to wrestling influence in sub-Saharan Africa from China, an uphill battle against decades of Chinese momentum.

While the end of the Cold War saw the United States assert its unipolar moment over much of the world, this didn’t extend to sub-Saharan Africa, which ranked low on the list of U.S. priorities. The lack of U.S. interest helped facilitate China’s rise in the region, which has exploded since 2000. China’s dominance in sub-Saharan Africa has now exceeded anything ever achieved by the U.S. in the region.

The Trump administration is looking to buck this trend by drastically reworking its approach from previous administrations, switching from an aid-focused model to one of trade, a focus on critical mineral acquisition, and transactional economic cooperation.

Trump Ally diGenova to Lead Russia Probe

By Newsmax Wires | Saturday, 18 April 2026 06:30 PM EDT

Joe diGenova will be sworn in on Monday in Miami as counsel to the attorney general to lead the Russia collusion hoax investigation, according to Newsmax White House correspondent Mike Carter.

DiGenova will work out of the Fort Pierce, Florida, courthouse, where a grand jury has been empaneled since January.

Fort Pierce is the home of Judge Aileen Cannon, who presided over Special Counsel Jack Smith's documents case against President Donald Trump until she dismissed the indictment after determining in July 2024 that his appointment violated the Constitution.

DiGenova served as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia from 1983 to 1988 and has decades of experience in federal law enforcement and legal matters.

Grenell to Newsmax: Trump Strategy Will Win in Iran

VIDEO

By Newsmax Wires | Sunday, 19 April 2026 10:21 AM EDT

U.S. envoy for special missions Richard Grenell told Newsmax on Sunday that President Donald Trump's negotiating strategy has positioned the United States "on the cusp of a historic, incredible win" in its standoff with Iran.

Speaking on "Wake Up America Weekend," Grenell pointed to Trump's use of pressure-backed diplomacy as the key to shifting the balance after years of policies under previous administrations.

"Look, I think what we're watching is Donald Trump do what Donald Trump does, which is the art of the deal," Grenell said.

"He is one of the best negotiators we've ever seen," he added.

Grenell emphasized that Trump's approach combines diplomacy with credible consequences, including potential military action, sanctions, and economic pressure.

"When he puts out a very credible threat, people know that it's not just a threat, it's actually credible and something could happen," Grenell said.

If you do not negotiate in good faith, if you do not come to an agreement, there will be a very serious consequence behind it," he said.

That leverage, he said, empowers U.S. negotiators at the table.

"Imagine sitting at a table and you're trying to negotiate with Iran … and you can tell them, Look, if we don't come up with an agreement here at this peaceful table, I'm going to have to pick up and transfer this file over to the Pentagon and to the White House," Grenell said.

"Here is your time to negotiate," he said.

Grenell contrasted Trump's strategy with what he described as years of concessions under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

"What we have to remember is that where we are with Iran is that they have always had cash credit and sanctions relief from Presidents Obama and Biden," he said.

"President Trump has completely changed that," Grenell said.

Instead of easing restrictions, Grenell said the Trump administration has tightened economic pressure.

"The sanctions are not being relieved. They're actually in place, and strong credit has dried up," he said.

"Instead of boots on the ground, he's got boats on the water, and boats on the water are actually stopping their ability to collect cash — their economy is in freefall," he said.

Grenell added that the pressure campaign has extended to Iran's leadership structure, though uncertainty remains about who could emerge next.

"When you squeeze them like this and you take out their regime at the top, which has largely been taken out, but we're not sure who's rising yet, as soon as we're able to figure out that portion, we will be able to continue squeezing them," he said.

Despite the complexity of ceasefire and diplomatic negotiations, Grenell said Trump is balancing patience with urgency.

"President Trump will have great patience, but he won't have patience that will last for very long," he said.

"I've been working on this issue for 25 years," Grenell said.

"President Trump is the first one to actually take action rather than just talk, and we are on the cusp of a historic, incredible win for this region that people have been talking about for 25 years," he said.
