Donald Trump has claimed that India is ready to eliminate 100% tariffs on US goods, calling it a major breakthrough. However, India’s external affairs minister S. Jaishankar countered, saying trade negotiations are ongoing and far from final. Trump says he’s in no rush for a deal, even as he hints at wider changes in global trade policy. Talks with China, Pakistan, and others remain part of his broader strategy to “use trade to settle scores and make peace,” signaling shifting global economic alliances before July's tariff deadline.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has touched down in China following his highly symbolic visit to North Korea, where he met Kim Jong‑un and was honored in Wonsan. His arrival in Beijing signals Moscow's deepening engagement ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation foreign ministers' meeting. This gathering sets the stage for the high‑stakes SCO summit in Tianjin from August 30 to September 1.
Lavrov’s diplomatic blitz—linking Pyongyang and Beijing—underscores a reshaping of regional power dynamics, with Moscow pressing a message of unity among China, Russia, and North Korea. Watch for potentially critical alignments on security, economic initiatives, and strategic counterweights to Western influence. As Beijing hosts this heavyweight meeting, all eyes are on whether the trio will present a collective front that could recalibrate regional geopolitics.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.

A massive explosion rocked the Singapore-flagged container ship MV Wan Hai 503 off Kerala’s coast on Monday. The underdeck blast triggered thick smoke and fire, prompting 18 of the 22 crew to abandon ship. The Indian Navy swiftly diverted INS Surat for rescue, while the Coast Guard joined evacuation efforts. The vessel, en route from Colombo to Mumbai, remains adrift and burning. The Navy is deploying a Dornier aircraft to assess the situation. The incident follows a recent cargo ship sinking nearby.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.
