The World Trade Organization (WTO) has issued a dire warning about the escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, projecting a potential decrease in bilateral merchandise trade of up to 80%. According to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, WTO Director General, this contraction poses a significant risk not only to the two economies but also to global trading dynamics, particularly affecting lesser-developed nations. The WTO's preliminary estimate emerged on April 10, 2025, coinciding with increased tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Chinese imports, although some tariffs have been deferred for 90 days. The organization emphasized that continued escalation of these trade disputes could lead to a “decoupling” of the two largest economies in the world, contributing to a fragmentation of global trade. The economic ramifications could be severe, with projections suggesting a long-term reduction in global real GDP of nearly 7 percent. In response, China's mission to the WTO confirmed the filing of an additional complaint regarding U.S. tariffs, highlighting ongoing tensions in the trade relationship.

A helicopter crash in the Hudson River on April 10, 2025, has claimed the lives of five Spanish tourists, including three children, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Spanish Embassy. The incident occurred shortly before 3:30 PM local time when the helicopter, operated by New York Helicopter Tours, experienced structural failure approximately 20 minutes into its flight from a Lower Manhattan helipad. Witnesses reported seeing the aircraft partially disintegrate in mid-air before plunging into the icy waters near Jersey City. The pilot's body has also been recovered, bringing the death toll to six. Eyewitnesses described the harrowing scene, with one stating, "I saw the helicopter fall" and another recalling ominous sounds before the crash. Local lawmakers, including New York State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, have labeled the accident a “predictable tragedy,” urging a ban on non-essential helicopter flights over Manhattan due to safety concerns. The helicopter industry contributes approximately $50 million annually to New York City’s economy, but persistent issues with noise complaints and the lack of strict regulations have sparked calls for reform.
