Jean Smart'sdedication to her loving fans has left some feeling rather emotional after a video of theHacksstar signing autographs, seemingly from a wheelchair, went viral following her return to her Broadway play,Call Me Izzy, aftera knee injury. In a stage door clip uploaded to TikTok by a recent attendee, the Hollywood legend could be seen sitting behind a table with her leg propped up, engaging with fans who, one by one, made their way down a line to chat and get her signature on their Playbills. However, one fan requested she sign their arm with her Deborah Vance signature to get it tattooed, leading to an "adorable" and "wholesome" reaction that even had one fan "tearing up" in response. Smart was so committed to getting it perfect that she even hauled herself up out of her seat with a little help from her crew, admitting that she was "nervous" to get it right, and fans were in awe of the commitment. "I love that she realized the gravity of this being permanent and felt anxious to get it right," one gushed. "It says so much about her as a human☺️." "Something about her yelling 'OH MY GOD IM NERVOUS!!!' makes me like her more," another admitted. "So human and real lmao." "she was genuinely moved by this!!" someone else observed.

The Latest: US trade partners around the world react to Trump's new tariffsNew Foto - The Latest: US trade partners around the world react to Trump's new tariffs

U.S. trade partners around the world were reacting on Friday toPresident Donald Trump's executive order that would introduce new tariffs on many of them in seven days, as the global economy and alliances face a fresh test from the president's trade agenda. Trump's order was issued Thursday night and came after a flurry of tariff-related activity in recent days, as the White House announced agreements with various nations and blocs ahead of Trump's self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. Donald Trumpalso said Thursday he would be extending trade negotiations with Mexico for 90 days. But the vast majority of nations are continuing to face uncertainty ahead of the coming deadline. And while a handful of trade deals have trickled in, many details remain hazy — with businessesand manufacturersaround the worldbracing for heightened operating costs and potential price hikesregardless. Meanwhile, Trump's overhaul of American trade policy hasn't gone unchallenged. Appellate court judges haveexpressed broad skepticismaround Trump's legal rationale for his most expansive round of tariffs. ___ Here's the latest: Malaysia hails 'significant achievement' in 19% tariff rate Malaysia's Trade Ministry said Friday that the U.S. tariff reduction from 25% to 19% was a "significant achievement" as the deal was struck without compromising key national interests. "The 19% rate roughly tracks the rate of other countries in the Southeast Asian region," the ministry said in a statement. "Most importantly, Malaysia had stood firm on various 'red line' items, and the 19% tariff rate was achieved without compromising the nation's sovereign right to implement key policies to support the nation's socio-economic stability and growth." The ministry said that Malaysia's economy remains resilient despite global headwinds, citing strong domestic demand and ongoing structural reforms. The statement didn't give further details but officials previously said non-tariff barriers such as halal certification, which affects U.S. beef and poultry exports, along with digital trade and government procurement were sticky points. It's unclear what concessions Malaysia made. Cambodia will impose zero tariffs on all American goods Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol, who led his nation's trade talks with the U.S., thanked Trump for setting the tariff rate on Cambodian goods at 19% and said his country will impose zero tariffs on all American goods. When Washington originally posted its list of notional "reciprocal" tariffs, the rate for goods from Cambodia was 49%, one of the highest in the world. It had estimated that Cambodian tariffs on U.S. imports averaged 97%. Sun Chanthol also said Cambodia would purchase 10 passenger aircraft from Boeing in a deal they hoped to sign later this month. Several other nations had already announced similar aircraft purchase deals as part of their trade packages. Trump had threatened to not conclude a deal with reduced tariffs if Cambodia and Thailand did not stop a recent armed conflict over border territory. The two nations agreed on a ceasefire beginning Tuesday that appears to be holding. Cambodia publicly celebrated Trump's peace initiative, suggesting he deserved a Nobel Prize for his intervention. Sun Chanthol said Friday that Cambodia would nominate him for the honor. Australia's 10% tariff rate is vindication of the country's 'cool and calm negotiations,' trade minister says Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell says gaining the minimum U.S. tariff on exports including beef, lamb, wine and wheat gave Australia a competitive advantage over some competitors. Farrell told reporters Australia did not introduce tariffs on U.S. goods at any point, and added, "I haven't seen any case or any example where the retaliatory imposition of tariffs has resulted in a country being in a better position." Farrell argues that no U.S. tariffs can be justified because Australia imposes no tariffs on its bilateral free trade partner. The United States has enjoyed a trade surplus with Australia for decades. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been criticized for failing to secure a face-to-face meeting with Trump to discuss trade. Japan welcomes Trump's signing of the executive order as an ease in uncertainty Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi welcomed Trump's signing of the executive order setting Japan's new reciprocal tariffs as a step that would reduce uncertainty of the U.S. trade policy and its negative impact on the global economy, including that of Japan. Hayashi, however, said Japan still needs to closely examine the measures and continue urging prompt implementation by the U.S. government to carry out the agreement, including reduction of tariffs on automobiles and auto parts. Hayashi acknowledged that Japan's new tariff rate of 15% is a "major reduction" from the initially imposed 25%, but his government will continue to watch and mitigate its impact on Japanese exports, including by providing financial assistance for small and medium-sized businesses. New Zealand looks to lobby for lower tariff rates New Zealand officials said they would lobby the administration for a change to the 15% tariff announced for the country's exporters to the U.S. It's an increase from the original 10% baseline announced for New Zealand in April. "We don't think this is a good thing. We don't think it's warranted," Trade Minister Todd McClay told Radio New Zealand Friday. He said New Zealand appeared to have been targeted for a larger levy because the country records a trade deficit with the U.S. but that the gap of about half a billion dollars each year was "not significant or meaningful." Neighboring Australia dodged an increase to remain at 10%, but it records a trade surplus with the U.S., McClay added. The United States in January overtook Australia to become New Zealand's second-largest export partner, behind China. New Zealand exports are largely made up of meat, dairy, wine and agricultural machinery. Taiwan president says final tariff negotiations with US yet to come Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said Taiwan had yet to engage in final negotiations with the U.S. owing to scheduling difficulties and that he was hopeful the final tariff rate would be reduced even further after a final round of talks. The Trump administration hit Taiwan with 32% tariffs, and lowered it to 20% on Thursday. Taiwan was notified on Thursday by the administration of the lower rate. "Twenty percent from the beginning has not been our goal. We hope that in further negotiations we will get a more beneficial and more reasonable tax rate," he told reporters in Taipei on Friday. Lai also linked trade talks to security issues, as the U.S. is Taiwan's largest ally even though it does not formally recognize the island. "We want to strengthen U.S. Taiwan cooperation in national security, tech, and multiple areas," he said Friday. The U.S. is Taiwan's most important export market and strategic ally, Lai said in an earlier statement Friday morning. Cambodia prime minister thanks Trump for dropping tariff rate Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his thanks to Trump for the dropping of tariffs from 36% to 19% and he called the reduction "good news" for Cambodia. Posted on his social media platform, Hun Manet said Trump had not only helped broker a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand forces after nearly a weeklong clash but also helped Cambodia's economy by lowering tariffs. "This is good news for the people and economy of Cambodia to continue developing the country," Hun Manet said. Thailand successfully negotiates lower tariff rates Thailand's government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said Thailand says the U.S. agreed to reduce the tariffs rate from 36% to 19%, a rate similar to those imposed on many other Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. "It's one of the major successes of Team Thailand in a win-win approach, to secure the country's export base and economic security in a long run," he said in a statement. He didn't immediately say what was the latest offer Thailand made to the U.S. The agreement came days after a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia to halt the nearly weeklong clashes that killed at least 41 people. It was brokered with U.S. pressure as Trump said he would not move forward with trade agreements if the conflict continued.

Statehood remains a distant dream for Palestinians as nightmare unfolds in GazaNew Foto - Statehood remains a distant dream for Palestinians as nightmare unfolds in Gaza

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Plans announced by France, the United Kingdom and Canadato recognize a Palestinian statewon't bring one about anytime soon, though they could further isolate Israel and strengthen the Palestinians' negotiating position over the long term. The problem for the Palestinians is that there may not be a long term. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahurejects Palestinian statehoodand has vowed to maintain open-ended control over annexed east Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and the war-ravaged Gaza Strip — territories Israel seized in the 1967 war that the Palestinians want for their state. Israeli leaders favor the outright annexation of much of the West Bank, where Israel has already builtwell over 100 settlementshousing over 500,000 Jewish settlers. Israel's offensive in Gaza has reduced most of it to a smoldering wastelandand is pushing it toward famine, and Israel says it is pressing ahead with plans to relocate much of its population of some 2 millionto other countries. The United States, the only country with any real leverage over Israel,has taken its side. Critics say these countries could do much more Palestinians have welcomed international support for their decades-long quest for statehood but say there are more urgent measures Western countries could take if they wanted to pressure Israel. "It's a bit odd that the response to daily atrocities in Gaza, including what is by all accountsdeliberate starvation, is to recognize a theoretical Palestinian state that may never actually come into being," said Khaled Elgindy, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. "It looks more like a way for these countries to appear to be doing something," he said. Fathi Nimer, a policy fellow at Al-Shabaka, a Palestinian think tank, says they could have suspended trade agreements with Israel, imposed arms embargoes or other sanctions. "There is a wide tool set at the disposal of these countries, but there is no political will to use it," he said. It's not a completely empty gesture Most countries in the world recognized Palestinian statehood decades ago, but Britain and France would be the third and fourth permanent members of the U.N. Security Council to do so, leaving the U.S. as the only holdout. "We're talking about major countries and major Israeli allies," said Alon Pinkas, an Israeli political analyst and former consul general in New York. "They're isolating the U.S. and they're leaving Israel dependent — not on the U.S., but on the whims and erratic behavior of one person, Trump." Recognition could also strengthen moves to prevent annexation, said Hugh Lovatt, an expert on the conflict at the European Council on Foreign Relations. The challenge, he said, "is for those recognizing countries to match their recognition with other steps, practical steps." It could also prove significant if Israel and the Palestinians ever resume the long-dormant peace process, which ground to a halt after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to office in 2009. "If and when some kind of negotiations do resume, probably not in the immediate future, but at some point, it puts Palestine on much more equal footing," said Julie Norman, a professor of Middle East politics at University College London. "It has statehood as a starting point for those negotiations, rather than a certainly-not-assured endpoint." Israel calls it a reward for violence Israel's government and most of its political class were opposed to Palestinian statehood long before Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack triggered the war. Netanyahu says creating a Palestinian state would reward Hamas and eventually lead to an even larger Hamas-run state on Israel's borders. Hamas leadershave at times suggestedthey would accept a state on the 1967 borders but the group remains formally committed to Israel's destruction. Western countries envision a future Palestinian state that would be democratic but also led by political rivals of Hamas who accept Israel and help it suppress the militant group,which won parliamentary elections in 2006and seized power in Gaza the following year. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose authority administers parts of the occupied West Bank, supports a two-state solution and cooperates with Israel on security matters. He has madea series of concessions in recent months, including announcing the end to the Palestinian Authority's practice of providing stipends to the families of prisoners held by Israel and slain militants. Such measures, along with the security coordination, have made it deeply unpopular with Palestinians, and have yet to earn it any favors from Israel or theTrumpadministration. Israel says Abbas is not sincerely committed to peace and accuses him of tolerating incitement and militancy. Lovatt says there is much to criticize about the PA, but that "often the failings of the Palestinian leadership are exaggerated in a way to relieve Israel of its own obligations." The tide may be turning, but not fast enough If you had told Palestinians in September 2023 that major countries were on the verge of recognizing a state, that the U.N.'s highest courthad ordered Israel to end the occupation, that the International Criminal Courthad ordered Netanyahu's arrest, and that prominent voicesfrom across the U.S. political spectrumwere furious with Israel, they might have thought their dream of statehood was at hand. But those developments pale in comparison to the ongoing war in Gaza and smallerbut similarly destructivemilitary offensives in the West Bank. Israel'smilitary victories over Iran and its allieshave left it the dominant and nearly unchallenged military power in the region, and Trump is the strongest supporter it has ever had in the White House. "This (Israeli) government is not going to change policy," Pinkas said. "The recognition issue, the ending of the war, humanitarian aid — that's all going to have to wait for another government." ___ Associated Press writer Jill Lawless in London contributed.
