'It's definitely a blow': Shashi Tharoor reacts to Trump's 50% tariff on India; asserts it's not a 'good news'

IndiaTimes Thursday, 7 August 2025 ()
Shashi Tharoor has criticised the US imposition of a 25% tariff on India's crude oil imports from Russia, bringing the total tariff on Indian goods to 50%. He warned that this will make Indian products less competitive in the US market compared to countries with lower tariffs. The ministry of external affairs also expressed its disapproval of the US decision.

Trump To Federalize DC Police | SLAMS Crime Surge And Hints At National Guard Deployment For Safety

In a fiery Oval Office moment, President Donald Trump announced he is “considering” federalizing the D.C. police force amid what he called an “out-of-control” crime wave in the nation’s capital. Citing a recent brutal assault on a young man, Trump blasted the city’s rising crime, unsafe streets, graffiti, and decaying infrastructure. The president suggested the National Guard may be brought in to stabilize the situation, declaring that “we’re going to do something about it.” He emphasized his vision of a “safe and beautiful capital” and criticized city leadership for neglect and lawlessness. Trump also vowed to improve the capital’s appearance, from rundown medians to littered streets. While details remain unclear, his remarks have sparked major political debate over federal authority in D.C., especially regarding local law enforcement. The possibility of direct federal intervention has stunned city officials and reignited national discussion over crime, policing, and urban safety. #Trump #WashingtonDC #DCPolice #FederalTakeover #CrimeSurge #NationalGuard #TrumpSpeech #DCNews #LawAndOrder #TrumpAnnouncement #WhiteHouse #GraffitiCrisis #UrbanSafety #DCPublicSafety #TrumpLive #OvalOfficeRemarks #CapitalChaos #StreetCrime #TrumpNationalGuard #CleanUpDC ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Putin’s Nuclear Warning? US Tracks Possible Test of Russia’s ‘Unlimited-Range’ Missile |WW3 Brewing?

The U.S. Air Force has deployed its top-secret WC‑135R “Nuke Sniffer” aircraft near Russia’s northwestern nuclear bases—just days after Donald Trump showcased a nuclear-capable submarine. The aircraft, designed to detect radiation in the atmosphere, circled over the Barents Sea for nearly 14 hours, raising alarm over possible preparations by Russia to test its infamous 9M730 Burevestnik (Skyfall) nuclear-powered cruise missile. #Russia #USA #NukeSniffer #SkyfallMissile #Burevestnik #NuclearWar #WW3 #Putin #Trump #NovayaZemlya #INFtreaty #USAirForce #BarentsSea #Geopolitics #MilitaryTension #NuclearAlert #ConstantPhoenix #BreakingNews #DefenseWatch ~HT.318~GR.122~PR.152~

Tim Cook Full Speech: Apple Announces $100 billion expansion plan in U.S after tariff threat

President Donald Trump has unveiled Apple’s staggering $100 billion expansion plan in the U.S., raising its total investment pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. The Oval Office announcement follows months of tariff threats from Trump, who recently floated a 25% tax on foreign-made Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared alongside Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and presented a symbolic gold-based souvenir to mark the occasion. While the investment will expand Apple’s U.S. supply chain, it still falls short of Trump’s demand to manufacture iPhones domestically. Cook noted that several components — including glass and chips — are already U.S.-made, but final assembly will stay overseas “for a while.” Experts say the move is both a savvy PR maneuver and a strategic way to sidestep future tariff risks. Apple shares closed up 5%, with suppliers like Corning and Applied Materials also surging after the blockbuster announcement. #Apple #Trump #TimCook #AppleInvestment #MadeInUSA #AppleNews #TechInAmerica #iPhoneManufacturing #TrumpTariffs #TrumpAnnouncement #OvalOffice #GoldGift #USJobs #SupplyChain #AppleShares #TariffThreat #TimCookTrump #Corning #Samsung #Semiconductors ~HT.318~GR.122~
