India SLAMS Trump’s Additional 25% Tariffs; Tears Into US Hypocrisy as Tariffs Increase to 50%

India has strongly condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to impose an additional 25% tariff on its goods, effectively doubling the rate to 50%. In a fiery response, New Delhi accused Washington of “economic bullying” and called out U.S. hypocrisy on free trade. The move has heightened tensions between the two nations, with India warning of possible retaliatory measures. Analysts say the tariff hike could impact billions in bilateral trade, strain diplomatic ties, and escalate the ongoing global trade wars. #TrumpIndiaTariffs #TrumpTariffs2025 #IndiaUSTradeTensions #TrumpOnIndia #DonaldTrumpTariffs #IndiaTariffCrisis #TrumpThreatensIndia #USIndiaTariffWar #TrumpTradePolicy #TrumpIndiaConflict #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpTariffImpact #IndiaUnderPressure #TrumpOnIndianOil #USIndiaRelations #TrumpTariffHike #IndiaTariffResponse #TrumpTradeWar #TrumpVsIndia #DonaldTrumpIndiaPolicy ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~

At a White House press briefing, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to fully occupy Gaza, stating the move is “up to Israel.” Trump also revealed he watched the disturbing Hamas video showing Israeli hostage Evyatar David being forced to dig his own grave inside a Gaza tunnel, calling it “horrible.” While Trump highlighted recent U.S. aid contributions of $60 million to Gaza, he refused to take a firm stance on Israel’s reoccupation plan, signaling deep diplomatic caution amid an escalating humanitarian crisis and global outrage. #Trump #GazaWar #Israel #Hamas #HostageCrisis #WhiteHouse #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Netanyahu #GazaOccupation #USPolitics #TrumpSpeech #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasVideo #EvyatarDavid #IsraelHamasWar ~PR.274~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~

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

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 [Video]

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~
