US and China agree one year trade truce

video    BBC News    31 October 2025

US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping

have agreed a one year truce deal.

On Thursday,

the pair met for the first time in six years.

China has agreed to suspend export control measures

it had placed on rare earths for one year,

while the US said it would drop part of the tariffs it has levied on Beijing

over the flow of ingredients used in making fentanyl to the US.

But how long will this truce last?

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
