Trump UNLEASHES ‘Sledgehammer’ Sanctions On Russia And Its Trading Partners | Trade War |Russia-U.S
Senator Lindsey Graham reveals that a sweeping new Senate sanctions bill is on the brink of passage, offering President Trump a “sledgehammer” to punish not only Russia but also its key global allies like China, India, and Brazil.
The legislation empowers Trump to levy up to 500% in tariffs on any nation that continues trading with Moscow — a dramatic escalation in US policy that could reshape global trade dynamics.
Graham predicts “maximum flexibility” for presidential enforcement and signals an imminent surge in military aid to Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets.
While Moscow dismisses the move as futile and claims it merely fuels Russia’s independence, the US plans to ratchet up pressure if diplomatic efforts falter.
As this bold strategy takes shape, the world braces for a seismic shift in economic warfare.

Vladimir Putin has unleashed a shocking strike on Kyiv, with reports claiming Russia directly hit an EU office in the heart of the city. The move, framed by Moscow as a warning to the West, comes as Putin openly mocks Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Europe’s leadership in one chilling message of defiance. Explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital as Russia’s latest attack targeted diplomatic and civilian zones, drawing swift condemnation from EU leaders.

The White House has called the Minneapolis school shooting at Annunciation Church “an act of terrorism,” as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a major update. She confirmed that President Trump and First Lady Melania are urging Americans to unite in prayer for the victims and families facing “unimaginable grief.” The administration vowed a full investigation into the attack, which has shocked the nation. Authorities are treating the shooting as a deliberate act, intensifying scrutiny on domestic security and counterterrorism measures.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt revealed that former President Donald Trump was “furious” after Russia’s latest attack on Kyiv but added that he was “not surprised” by Vladimir Putin’s actions. The remarks come amid growing questions over Trump’s stance on Russia and the escalating Ukraine war.

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

Russia unleashed a massive overnight aerial assault on Ukraine, striking Kyiv and other cities far from the frontlines. Ukrainian officials said nearly 600 drones and missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic and Iskandar systems, were launched. CCTV footage captured the exact moment a missile slammed into Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district, turning the sky orange and leveling a residential building. At least 18 people, including four children, were killed and dozens injured. The devastating strike highlights the escalating brutality of Russia’s war against civilians.

Russia has announced the first successful use of a naval drone in the Ukraine war, claiming it sank the Ukrainian reconnaissance ship Simferopol in the Danube Delta. Moscow released dramatic footage of the strike, showing the unmanned vessel ramming into the ship. Kyiv confirmed the attack, reporting one dead, several wounded, and others missing, though most of the crew survived. The Simferopol, Ukraine’s most advanced intelligence ship since 2014, was seen as a naval symbol—its loss delivering a major psychological blow.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are escalating as U.S. jets intercepted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” spy plane near Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone. NORAD scrambled an E-3 Sentry, F-16 fighters, and a KC-135 tanker to monitor the aircraft, marking the fourth Russian reconnaissance flight in a week. Though Moscow’s planes remained in international airspace, repeated incursions follow Putin’s recent meeting with Trump, fueling speculation of deliberate provocations. With rising hostilities, analysts warn the standoff could spiral toward a World War 3 flashpoint.

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

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.

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain.

The attempts by Donald Trump to talk to PM Modi came even as his administration hit India with 50% tariffs, the highest for any country other than Brazil. DNA
World powers are aligning against the U.S. as Trump’s aggressive tariff policies fuel backlash. At the upcoming SCO summit in China, leaders including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi will present a united front against Western dominance. Trump’s penalties on India and Brazil have only pushed them closer to the anti-Western bloc, with Russia emerging as the common thread binding these nations. Experts warn that tariffs may not only damage U.S. economic ties but also accelerate the rise of a multipolar world order.
