Shanghai residents voiced doubts that U.S.-China relations would improve following a phone call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi that was not previously announced by either country. The call came weeks after the two leaders met in South Korea, where they agreed to a framework for a trade deal that has yet to be finalized.

Nov. 3, 2025, 6:30 PM EST / Updated Nov. 3, 2025, 9:51 PM ESTBy Raquel Coronell UribePresident Donald Trump on Monday endorsed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a lifelong Democrat running as an independent, in New York City’s mayoral election.The president urged voters not to cast a ballot Tuesday for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, saying it would be “a vote for [Zohran] Mamdani.”“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.A recent poll from Suffolk University showed Mamdani leading the race with 44% support, with Cuomo trailing behind him by 10 percentage points. Sliwa, meanwhile, sat at 11%.Trump’s endorsement came shortly after his interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” where he reiterated his threat to withhold federal funds from the city if Mamdani is elected.During the interview, Trump also indicated his preference for Cuomo over Mamdani, whom he’s called a “communist” through much of the mayoral race.Mamdani on Sunday used Trump’s remarks as ammunition, mocking Cuomo on social media by congratulating him and saying, “I know how hard you worked for this.”Cuomo has rebuffed the prospect of Trump’s endorsement in recent weeks. In an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” last month, Cuomo said he would reject an endorsement from Trump, saying his tent was not big enough to include the president in his coalition of supporters.“I have not had a conversation nor would I accept an endorsement from President Trump,” Cuomo said.Neither Cuomo’s campaign nor Sliwa’s immediately responded to requests for comment on Trump’s endorsement.While governor of New York, Cuomo was an outspoken critic of Trump during the president’s first term. The Democratic governor frequently slammed Trump over his response to Covid. During a mayoral debate last month, Cuomo described their clashes as “bloody battles.”Cuomo resigned as governor in 2021 after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. He has repeatedly denied those allegations. In an interview with “Meet the Press” last month, Cuomo said he has no regrets about his behavior “vis-à-vis those allegations,” but added that he has “learned to be more careful.”Trump boosted several other candidates Monday ahead of Election Day. The president held tele-rallies for candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, talking up New Jersey GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli and Republican candidates in Virginia, but without mentioning the name of Virginia’s GOP nominee for governor, Winsome Earle-Sears.Trump has endorsed Ciattarelli but hasn’t done the same for Earle-Sears.Raquel Coronell UribeRaquel Coronell Uribe is a breaking news reporter.

Oct. 29, 2025, 2:00 PM EDTBy Gabe Gutierrez and Sarah DeanPOHANG, South Korea — As President Donald Trump makes his whirlwind trip through Asia, the warning from the mayor of South Korea’s steelmaking hub is dire.“If tariffs keep continuing like this,” Lee Kang-deok told NBC News in an interview Tuesday, “the industry in our city will collapse. And it’s going to have a domino effect.”South Korea, the world’s 10th-biggest economy, has been trying to finalize a U.S. trade agreement to lower the tariff on its goods to 15%, down from 25%. Trump said Wednesday that a trade deal had been “pretty much finalized” with South Korea, while South Korean presidential aide Kim Yong-beom said the two governments had “reached an agreement on the detailed terms of the tariff negotiations,” which include a South Korean pledge to invest $350 billion in the U.S.But Trump’s separate 50% levy on all steel products has devastated Pohang, a port city of about half a million people on the southeastern coast of South Korea. Much like Pittsburgh, it’s synonymous with the steel industry in the country. Steel plants dot the shoreline. Its beaches are in their shadows.The Pohang Iron and Steel Co. — which eventually became POSCO — is one of the largest steel companies in the world, producing more than 37 million tons of crude steel in 2024.“South Korea and the United States have been good friends for a long time,” Lee said. “But this makes us feel that this friendship is transactional.”Trump arrives in South Korea, last stop in 3-country tour of Asia02:10Lee — who’s been mayor for 11 years — said he would like Trump to come visit Pohang, which is just a 30-minute drive from Gyeongju, where the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit will be held and where Trump addressed a CEOs luncheon Wednesday.Earlier this year, Lee flew halfway across the world to Washington to protest Trump’s tariffs outside the White House with other Pohang representatives. They held English-language signs that said, among other things, “Please stop imposing steel tariffs on your ally Republic of Korea,” referring to South Korea’s formal name.South Korea, a U.S. ally and major steelmaker, is subject to 50% tariffs on its steel exports.Pohang Mayor’s OfficeLee said Pohang, South Korea’s steelmaking capital, was “struggling to the point of dying” amid the U.S. tariffs.Pohang Mayor’s OfficeLee said in a Facebook post after his protest that Pohang was “struggling to the point of dying” and that if the steel industry collapsed, so would construction, automobiles, shipbuilding and energy. He said he felt he was advocating not just for his city, but for the global steel industry and the many indirect jobs it supports.“We didn’t do as much as we’d hoped in Washington, D.C.,” he said. “But I think we sent a strong message to the entire world.”As the tariffs loom large, the South Korean government is bracing for the long-term impacts and has declared Pohang an “Industrial Crisis Response Area,” which qualifies the city for more subsidies.“The whole economic system will be ruined,” Lee said in the interview, adding that while he thinks the U.S. is doing this mainly because of competition with China, the tariffs are hurting longtime allies such as South Korea and Japan.“This could backfire.”Gabe GutierrezGabe Gutierrez is a senior White House correspondent for NBC News.Sarah DeanSarah Dean is a 2024 NBC News campaign embed.Stella Kim contributed.
