Wednesday, 6 August 2025 () Brazilian President Lula da Silva plans to challenge Donald Trump's 50% tariffs by contacting global leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping. Despite tensions, Lula will use the WTO to defend Brazil's interests. He refuted Trump's justification for the tariffs, viewing it as an attack on Brazil's sovereignty.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has delivered a fiery rebuke to the United States, accusing Washington of aiding a coup in Brazil and using economic threats as political weapons. Speaking at a Workers’ Party event in Brasília, Lula condemned the 50% tariff threat from President...

Lula Vs Trump: Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, slamming his threat to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods as “unacceptable blackmail.” The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil dropping legal charges against former president Jair Bolsonaro over his alleged coup attempt. In a defiant televised address, Lula vowed that no foreign leader would dictate terms to Brazil, calling Trump’s move a grave assault on national sovereignty.

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target.
The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary.

Brazil’s political crisis just went global. Former President Jair Bolsonaro has been placed under house arrest by Brazil’s Supreme Court for allegedly plotting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election. But the arrest has sparked international outrage — especially from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who blasted the move as a “witch hunt” targeting one of his closest allies.
In retaliation, the U.S. administration has imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, linking it directly to Bolsonaro’s legal case. Trump and U.S. officials are calling out Brazil’s judiciary for “silencing” Bolsonaro and demanding that he be allowed to speak publicly.

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.

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.

Fears of a major global conflict are mounting as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping showcase their growing military alliance in the face of rising tensions with the United States. The display of joint strength comes just as U.S. President Donald Trump orders nuclear submarines into strategic positions near Russian waters — a move Moscow calls a dangerous provocation.

As Trump ramps up aggressive foreign policies in his second term, fears rise over a potential global conflict. A growing trilateral alliance between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi could present a historic challenge to U.S. power. With Russia’s nuclear might, China’s economic dominance, and India’s rising strategic presence, analysts warn this bloc could break NATO's influence. Trump’s rhetoric, including attacks on India’s economy and NATO tensions, risks isolating the U.S. just as this new alliance gains ground—pushing the world closer to a possible WW3 scenario.

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.
