PDB Afternoon Bulletin | May 8th, 2025: Trump Announces First Trade Deal Ahead Of Critical China Summit & Violent Antisemitic Protests Return To Columbia University

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

First, President Donald Trump inks a new trade deal with Britain, the first major agreement reached since announcing his plans to impose sweeping reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The announcement comes just ahead of pivotal talks between the U.S. and China set to take place in Geneva this weekend.

Later in the show—violent, antisemitic protests have returned to Columbia University, where police arrested dozens of students Wednesday night after they seized the school's main library in one of the largest and most chaotic demonstrations since last year’s pro-Palestinian campus uprisings.
