Trump Plots U.S Takeover of Gaza Aid Amid Israeli Failure | “Babies Must Not Starve” - White House [Video]

Trump Plots U.S Takeover of Gaza Aid Amid Israeli Failure | “Babies Must Not Starve” - White House

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region. #Trump #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #IsraelGazaWar #GazaFamine #TrumpNews #MiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #GlobalCrisis #BreakingNews #SteveWitkoff #TrumpAdministration #WestBank #Palestine #GazaAid ~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~ED.346~

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade [Video]

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

As Trump threatens a steep tariff hike on Indian goods over its oil trade with Russia, India's NSA Ajit Doval arrives in Moscow for urgent talks. His visit underscores India’s resolve to deepen strategic ties with Russia amid rising U.S. pressure. Doval is set to discuss defence cooperation, sanctions, and energy security, preparing the ground for a key Modi-Putin summit.

Russia Rains Missiles On Zaporizhzhia Overnight Killing 2 Civilians | 500+ Strikes Rock Ukraine

Two civilians were killed and at least 10 injured—including four children—after a massive Russian strike barrage on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region. Governor Ivan Fedorov confirmed that 567 attacks were carried out in 24 hours across 16 settlements. Nine buildings were damaged in the Zaporizhzhia city district alone. As rescue operations scramble to contain the fallout, the latest assault underscores Russia’s continued aggression on front-line Ukrainian cities. Emergency responders remain on-site as fears of more strikes loom. Though Russia has not commented, both Moscow and Kyiv routinely deny targeting civilians, despite widespread destruction in populated areas. Zaporizhzhia, home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant, has become a battleground of immense strategic importance. The escalating situation brings fresh global attention to the human toll of the war that has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians since 2022.

Trump’s FLIP-FLOP Game Exposed! Denies ‘100%’ Penalty On India | India-Russia SLAMS Trump | Details

In a fiery press conference, US President Donald Trump denied ever specifying a 100% tariff on countries importing oil from Russia — just days after threatening India for being Moscow’s top energy buyer. “I never said a percentage,” Trump claimed, as pressure mounts from New Delhi over alleged Western hypocrisy. India, now facing 25% tariffs, responded by spotlighting America’s own billion-dollar trade with Russia — including uranium and fertilisers. Trump's wavering comments come amid backlash from allies and Republicans alike. Meanwhile, India and Russia have reaffirmed their strategic defence ties. Trump now says further penalties will be decided after talks with Russian officials. As India's energy imports top $50B, New Delhi defends its sovereign trade decisions — exposing what it calls Western “double standards.” Is Trump walking back under pressure, or is this just the calm before another tariff storm? #TrumpNews #IndiaRussia #TariffThreat #USIndiaTensions #RussianOil #TrumpPressConference #TradeWar #Geopolitics #IndoUSRelations #ModiTrump #USRussiaTrade #EnergyCrisis #GlobalTrade #IndiaFightsBack #BreakingNews #TrumpUpdate #IndiaStrategic #OilPolitics #BidenVsTrump #NuclearTrade ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~

Putin has lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump over his threat to impose higher tariffs on India if it continues buying Russian oil. The Kremlin condemned the move as “illegal” and an attack on national sovereignty, warning Washington against pressuring its allies. Putin emphasized that India has the right to choose its trade partners, while New Delhi dismissed Trump’s warnings as “unjustified” and accused the West of hypocrisy for continuing its own trade with Russia. #PutinVsTrump #RussiaUSConflict #IndiaStandsStrong #WW3Warning #GeopoliticalTensions #NuclearThreat #GlobalCrisis #RussiaStrikesBack #TrumpVsPutin #INFtreatyCollapse #WorldWar3 #OilWar #IndiaRussiaAlliance #USIndiaTensions #ColdWar2 #NuclearShowdown #GlobalPowerPlay #TrumpThreatensIndia #RussiaIssuesWarning ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban [Video]

WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory. #RussiaMissiles #MedvedevWarning #MissileMoratorium #INFwithdrawal #NATOvsRussia #DmitryMedvedev #GlobalTensions #RussiaNATOClash #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaArmsRace #PutinMoves #NewColdWar #NuclearThreats #RussiaShortRangeMissiles #RussianForeignPolicy #GeopoliticalCrisis #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #ExpectFurtherSteps #KremlinStatement Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc

Putin has announced he’s open to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — but only after a series of strict and chilling preconditions are met. The Kremlin insists that expert-level negotiations must make significant progress first, while also casting doubt on Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing the expiration of his presidential term in 2024. Ukraine, meanwhile, accuses Russia of using delay tactics to avoid real peace, with Zelensky demanding direct talks and warning the world not to fall for Moscow’s diplomatic trap #Putin #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Kremlin #UkraineCrisis #PutinVsZelensky #Geopolitics #WarAndPeace #BreakingNews #DiplomaticStandoff #IstanbulTalks #UkraineWar2025 #InternationalRelations #CeasefireNow Also Read US-Russia Submarine Showdown: Moscow Shrugs Off Trump’s Nuclear Posturing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-russia-submarine-showdown-moscow-shrugs-off-trump-s-nuclear-posturing-7818569.html?ref=DMDesc US vs. Russia: Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Amid Rising Tensions With Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/u-s-vs-russia-trump-deploys-nuclear-submarines-amid-rising-tensions-with-kremlin-7818561.html?ref=DMDesc Indian State Refiners Stop Russian Oil Imports As Trump Threatens Penalty: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-state-refiners-stop-russian-oil-imports-as-trump-threatens-penalty-report-011-7817581.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~
