U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2, a White House official confirmed on Friday.

During the visit, Trump is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss whether to extend the trade truce that paused an escalation of tariffs between the world’s two largest economies.

The current truce, agreed last year, temporarily halted a series of planned tariff increases, giving both countries time to negotiate over trade imbalances, intellectual property, and other economic disputes.

The upcoming visit highlights ongoing tensions and the high stakes of U.S.-China relations.

The White House official spoke on the condition of anonymity, noting that further details of the discussions have not been publicly released.

The United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, David Metcalf, has announced the extradition of a third Nigerian national to the United States in connection with a sexual extortion scheme that allegedly led to the death of a young man in the district.

The announcement was made by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The suspect, Afeez Olatunji Adewale, 26, was extradited from Nigeria on Friday, February 13, 2026, to face charges stemming from the alleged sextortion operation. He is charged by indictment with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Adewale made his initial appearance in federal court in Philadelphia before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lynne A. Sitarski.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Adewale was arrested in Nigeria on August 17, 2023, during a broader Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) operation targeting individuals accused of sexually extorting minors in the United States.

The extradition was coordinated with the assistance of the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, the FBI Legal Attaché in Abuja, and the FBI, which took Adewale into custody upon his arrival in the United States.

U.S. authorities acknowledged the critical support provided by Nigerian security agencies in securing the extradition. Notably involved were Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Federal Ministry of Justice’s International Criminal Justice Cooperation Department, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Adewale’s extradition follows those of his co-defendants, Imoleayo Samuel Aina, also known as “Alice Dave,” 27, and Samuel Olasunkanmi Abiodun, 26, who were extradited to the United States in August 2024.

Abiodun pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges. In June 2025, he was sentenced to five years in prison by United States District Judge Joel H. Slomsky.

Aina later pleaded guilty to multiple offences, including cyberstalking, interstate threats to injure reputation, receiving proceeds of extortion, money laundering conspiracy, and wire fraud. In October 2025, Judge Slomsky sentenced him to six years in prison.

The case was investigated by the FBI Philadelphia Field Office’s Fort Washington Resident Agency in collaboration with the Abington Township Police Department.

Prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick Brown.

Authorities stressed that the charges and allegations contained in the indictment against Adewale are accusations. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Prince Andrew Arrested on Suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office, Released Under Investigation

Prince Andrew, formally known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office following an investigation linked to alleged dealings connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The 66-year-old royal was detained at approximately 08:00 GMT on Thursday at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. He was later photographed leaving Aylsham police station in the back seat of a vehicle shortly after 19:00 GMT.

In a statement issued Thursday evening, Thames Valley Police confirmed the arrest of “a man in his sixties from Norfolk” on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Authorities later confirmed he had been released under investigation. Police searches in Norfolk have concluded, while inquiries in Berkshire remain ongoing.

The arrest follows the force’s assessment of a complaint regarding the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Epstein. The complaint reportedly emerged in connection with the release of millions of Epstein-related files earlier this year.

Andrew has consistently denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and has not publicly responded to the latest allegations.

King Charles Responds

King Charles III was attending a public engagement in central London when news of the arrest broke. When asked for his reaction, the King did not respond directly to reporters. Later, a statement from Buckingham Palace said: “The law must take its course.”

Sources indicate that Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are supportive of the King’s position.

It is understood that the King was not informed in advance of his brother’s arrest.

As part of the ongoing investigation, officers executed searches at properties in Norfolk and Berkshire, including Royal Lodge in Windsor, where Andrew had lived until recently. Footage earlier in the day showed officers stationed at the gates of the property.

Eyewitnesses reported that a black Range Rover arrived at Aylsham police investigation centre in the evening. Shortly afterwards, Andrew was seen reclining in the back seat as the vehicle departed the premises.

Maria Farmer, one of the first known survivors to report Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to authorities, issued a statement describing the arrest as “the beginning of accountability.”

Meanwhile, relatives of Virginia Giuffre also spoke publicly. Giuffre previously alleged that Andrew had sexual relations with her when she was a teenager, claims he has strongly denied it. The two parties reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022.

Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, told the BBC that “no one has a separate set of laws,” commending the King’s public stance on allowing due legal process.

Misconduct in public office is a criminal offence under UK law. It typically applies to public officials accused of wilfully neglecting their duties or abusing their position in a way that amounts to serious wrongdoing. It does not automatically imply sexual offences but may involve alleged misuse of authority or confidential information.

The arrest marks another dramatic chapter in the prolonged scrutiny surrounding Andrew’s past associations. While he has stepped back from public royal duties in recent years, the investigation raises fresh legal and reputational questions for the monarchy.

Police say no further updates will be provided at this time.
