A 17-year-old from Wisconsin, Nikita Casap, has been charged with killing his parents to gain financial means to assassinate former President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government, according to court documents filed by federal authorities. In early March, Waukesha County Sheriff's Department discovered the bodies of Casap's mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, at their home. Casap faces two counts of first-degree murder and associated charges, including theft exceeding $10,000 and concealing a corpse. Federal prosecutors are exploring charges related to conspiracy, presidential assassination, and using weapons of mass destruction. Investigators uncovered that Casap expressed extremist views linked to "The Order of Nine Angles," an alleged neo-Nazi group, with writings advocating for Trump's assassination and a revolution aimed at "saving the white race." Federal authorities reported that Casap was in contact with accomplices, purchasing a drone and explosives intended for the assassination. He remains in custody and is scheduled for an arraignment on May 7.

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.
