NTD Newsroom (July 6)

Controversy continues to brew over Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s Fourth of July Twitter post, denouncing the United States and calling for the return of stolen Indigenous land. Prominent figures on social media quickly expressed their outrage, some calling for a boycott. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen arrived in China for a four-day visit on July 6, aiming to improve communication and manage competition between the two countries. Critics question the timing of Yellen’s visit, considering China’s role in the production of fentanyl and its recent export restrictions on gallium and germanium—metals critical to the manufacturing of semiconductors.
