U.S. President Donald Trump is accused of leaking false information to the "New York Times". This has sparked significant controversy among officials, with Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, barred from attending a secret government meeting about China.
Following an investigation into the leak, two senior officials at the Pentagon were arrested, while Trump personally ordered the cancellation of the planned meeting. At the time, Trump expressed his anger previously about Musk, but this time he appeared more frustrated due to concerns about trade relations with Musk.
Reports also addressed Musk's obscure tweets and his reckless actions inside the White House that caused dissatisfaction among some officials. Reports indicated his ineffective government management that led to conflicts within the administration.
In addition, tensions began to escalate between the United States and China due to the trade war between them. Musk condemned the leak that led to this crisis, expressing his dissatisfaction with this behavior.
Despite Trump denying that the meeting was about China, he hinted at a potential conflict of interest for Musk. After the meeting ended between Musk and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, China increased its customs tariffs on American goods.
The current situation reflects the political and trade tensions dominating relations between the United States and China, raising concerns about the future of cooperation between the two countries.
