In a dramatic escalation of diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has responded to Vladimir Putin’s offer for direct peace talks in Turkey — but with a firm condition: no negotiations without a full, reliable ceasefire.

Saudi Arabia is set to host the Gulf-US Summit in mid-May during former President Trump’s second-term visit, with high-stakes announcements expected. Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may back recognition of a Palestinian state—without Hamas—in a move that could realign the Middle East.

Why Did America Jump In? U.S Expert Reveals What Forced America To Mediate India-Pak Ceasefire

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure. #IndiaPakistan #USMediation #SouthAsia #Geopolitics #MichaelKugelman #Ceasefire #MilitaryTensions #NuclearSecurity #Rawalpindi #Diplomacy #Trump #VPVance #Deescalation #CrisisResponse #USForeignPolicy #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #IndoPakTensions #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #WatchAndAct #USIndiaRelations #USPakistanPolicy #PeacePush #WashingtonDC #StrategicThreat #NuclearAlert #ConflictMediation #DefensePolicy #GeoStrategy Also Read Calm Returns To Border Regions As India-Pakistan Ceasefire Holds, First Peaceful Night In 19 Days :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/calm-returns-to-border-regions-as-india-pakistan-ceasefire-holds-first-peaceful-night-in-19-days-4150855.html?ref=DMDesc Operation Sindoor: How India's Swift Military Precision Crippled Pakistan's War Machinery :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindoor-rogue-state-rattled-pakistan-gets-a-taste-of-india-s-iron-resolve-4150793.html?ref=DMDesc India's Precision Strikes on Eight Pakistani Military Bases Lead to Peace Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indias-attacks-on-pakistan-military-facilities-peace-efforts-011-4150787.html?ref=DMDesc

As U.S. trade tensions mount, China is strengthening its grip on Latin America. At the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, leaders from across the region gathered, with many deepening their commitment to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Trump's Air Force One 2.0? Trump’s $400 Million “Flying Palace” Gift from Qatar Sparks Controversy

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence. #TrumpQatarDeal #FlyingPalace #QatarGiftToTrump #TrumpJet #QatarRoyalFamily #TrumpAirForceOne #TrumpLuxuryJet #TrumpQatarJet #QatarNews #TrumpPresidentialLibrary #TrumpQatarVisit #TrumpNews #QatarTrumpTies #TrumpPrivateJet #QatarFlyingPalace Also Read Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Considers Temporary Exemption from Auto Tariffs to Aid Car Manufacturers Amid Economic Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-considers-temporary-exemption-auto-tariffs-011-4124041.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Dismisses General Tim Haugh from National Security Agency Amidst Congressional Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-fires-general-tim-haugh-national-security-agency-011-4115013.html?ref=DMDesc
