In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.

Amid rising trade tensions, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hinted at delisting Chinese firms from American stock markets. As Trump hikes tariffs on Chinese imports to 104%, Beijing retaliates with 84% on US goods. China accuses Washington of violating trade norms and files a WTO complaint. With over 280 Chinese firms listed in the US, including Alibaba, this move could send shockwaves through global markets. Bessent warns of deeper escalation if China devalues its currency, urging negotiation before the economic crossfire intensifies further.

President Trump launched a fiery critique of past U.S. trade policy, accusing former leaders of enabling China’s rise by allowing unfair advantages through the World Trade Organization (WTO). He claimed China manipulated the system by branding itself a "developing nation" while gaining economic dominance. Trump also criticized U.S. officials for being complicit, saying “they allowed this to happen.” His comments come amid escalating tariff tensions and renewed trade negotiations, reflecting a hardline stance on correcting what he calls decades of economic betrayal.

China has blasted the United States for imposing new 34% tariffs, calling the move "economic bullying" and a threat to global stability. Beijing warns that the escalating tariff war may disrupt supply chains, hike consumer prices, and even spark a global recession. In response, China will impose a matching 34% tariff on all US goods by April 10 and has filed a complaint with the WTO. As markets tumble worldwide, experts warn the ongoing tit-for-tat is more about politics than policy — and it’s dragging the global economy down with it.
