Members of the environmentalist group Just Stop Oil continue to protest. Two members of the group painted the windows of luxury car dealerships orange in London’s famous Mayfair district. “Oil is causing the climate and cost of living crisis, making us poorer, destroying jobs and killing us now. New oil and gas is an act of genocide,” the group’s social account said.
The activists were arrested following the action, according to the Metropolitan Police.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
