Minister has ‘every confidence’ US will approve Mandelson
Cabinet minister Darren Jones says he has “every confidence” that Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US will be approved by Donald Trump's team.
There were reports in a number of newspapers on Sunday that the Trump administration could be considering not granting approval to Lord Mandelson's new position.
The chief secretary to the Treasury also distances the government from comments made by Sir Sadiq Khan where the Mayor of London warned over 'resurgent fascism' ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War.

A fiery protest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia as Brazilian students, workers, political parties, and social movements came together to oppose President Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs. The demonstrators, chanting “Trump’s paws off Brazil,” accused Trump of economic aggression and denounced Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly siding with U.S. interests over national sovereignty.
Waving banners and flags, protesters vowed to defend Brazil’s economy from what they called “imperialist interference,” promising to take the matter to diplomatic and legal platforms. One protester passionately declared the need to “bury Bolsonarism,” signaling rising domestic discontent with U.S.-Brazil relations. Brazil’s government has already announced plans to challenge the tariffs on international legal grounds. The protest not only highlighted economic fears but also symbolized growing resistance to what many see as external pressure dictating Brazil’s policy. The fiery slogans and symbolic defiance mark a bold moment in Brazil’s struggle for economic independence.
