Published: Mar 31 2025, 8 ameznews.inThe future of TikTok in the United States appears to be on firmer ground, as President Donald Trump announced that a deal for the short video app's sale by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, is expected before a looming April 5 deadline. Trump expressed optimism about potential buyers and indicated a willingness to reduce tariffs on China to facilitate the acquisition, underscoring the app's significance to his administration. The U.S. government has raised national security concerns regarding TikTok's Chinese ownership, which could allow Beijing to influence American users and gather data. While the White House has taken an active role in negotiations, Trump has previously warned that failure to secure a deal could result in a ban. Despite tensions, China’s commerce ministry has signaled a readiness to engage in discussions based on mutual respect, as TikTok's fate remains a focal point of U.S.-China relations.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 9 ameznews.inA New York City doctor has been terminated from her position at Mount Sinai Hospital following controversial social media posts that included pro-Hamas and Hezbollah sentiments and denied atrocities committed by these militant groups. Lila Abassi, 46, an assistant professor of medicine, faced backlash for describing Hamas as "noble resistance" and labeling the Israeli army a "plague," while dismissing reports of sexual violence during the October 7 attacks. Her comments, made under the pseudonym "Kluver Bucy," included a demand for evidence of such violence and claims that Israel caused more casualties than Hamas. Abassi’s dismissal was influenced by pressure from local officials, including City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, who emphasized the need for unbiased medical care in a diverse city. Fellow medical professionals described her as one of the most outspoken antisemitic figures in the field, raising concerns about patient trust and safety.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 9 ameznews.inThousands gathered in downtown Dallas today to protest President Donald Trump's immigration policies, demanding the release of detained foreign students. The march, which began at a cathedral and concluded at City Hall, featured demonstrators waving American flags and chanting for justice. Participant Daniel Beltran stressed the need to positively capture the authorities' attention, asserting that many come to the U.S. seeking better lives. Protesters highlighted the cases of students Mahmoud Khalil, Khan Suri, and Rumeysa Ozturk, who were arrested over alleged terrorist-related activities. At City Hall, Hector Flores, former president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, celebrated the vital contributions of Latinos to American society. Meanwhile, Trump, in his campaign for a second term, proposed controversial immigration reforms, including the elimination of birthright citizenship, a move criticized by legal experts as unconstitutional. He inaccurately claimed the U.S. is the only country with such a policy, despite 34 others offering similar rights.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 9 ameznews.inRescuers in Myanmar have successfully freed a woman from the rubble of the Great Wall Hotel in Mandalay, three days after a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck, killing approximately 2,000 people. The earthquake, which occurred near the epicentre in Mandalay, has left an estimated 23,000 survivors in urgent need of aid, prompting a swift response from the United Nations and neighboring countries including India, China, and Thailand. As search efforts continue, fears are growing that the death toll could rise, particularly in Thailand, where 76 individuals are believed to be trapped under a collapsed skyscraper. The humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by ongoing civil conflict in Myanmar, where military airstrikes persist, complicating relief efforts. The U.S. has pledged $2 million in aid, while calls for a ceasefire have intensified to facilitate emergency assistance amid the chaos following the military coup in 2021.
Published: Mar 31 2025, 9 ameznews.inFormer President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that he is serious about the possibility of seeking a third presidential term, despite being constitutionally barred from doing so. In a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump stated, "No, I'm not joking," but added that it is "far too early to think about it." The 22nd Amendment limits U.S. presidents to two four-year terms, and any attempt to amend this would require significant legislative support. While Trump has previously hinted at the idea, his allies, including longtime adviser Steve Bannon, are reportedly exploring ways to challenge term limits. Bannon expressed confidence that Trump will run again in 2028 and indicated that discussions are underway regarding the definition of term limits. If successful, Trump would be 82 years old when potentially seeking another term following the November 2028 election.

The quake, followed by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock, has caused widespread destruction, including damaged infrastructure and collapsed buildings, particularly in Mandalay, which has a population of over 1.7 million.

Published: Mar 31 2025, 7 ameznews.inMicrosoft is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a key player in the tech industry, with a current market cap of $2.9 trillion, second only to Apple. Originally founded as "Micro-Soft" in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the company revolutionized computing with its Windows operating system and Office software. Today, it is pivoting towards artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its market position, despite facing stiff competition from Amazon Web Services and Google in cloud computing. CEO Satya Nadella has shifted the company towards subscription-based services, which has helped it retain relevance against free alternatives like Google Docs. However, Microsoft struggles in areas like social networking and mobile technology, attributed to past leadership under Steve Ballmer. Analysts suggest that while Microsoft has invested heavily in AI, it still trails behind competitors due to a lack of proprietary technology and foundational models.

The remarks come as Trump continues to make vague references to a future presidential run, raising eyebrows about his intentions and the implications for the Republican Party.
