Trump PROVOKES India With Second Tariff Threat Within Hours; Says Will Increase Tariffs in 24 Hours
Trump has intensified trade tensions with India, issuing a second tariff threat within hours and vowing to raise duties in just 24 hours if New Delhi continues importing Russian oil.
The fresh warning comes amid a growing war of words, with India rejecting U.S. pressure as âunjustifiedâ and accusing the West of double standards.
At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it âBidenâs warâ and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, âI havenât heard that... but Iâm here to get us out.â He claimed the war wouldâve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administrationâs continued funding of Ukraineâs military, which he described as âscraping the bottom of the barrel.â
Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan âwithin days.â The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trumpâs statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate.

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israelâs handling of the crisis. âHe doesnât want babies to starve,â a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the leadâwhile pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region.

Donald Trump has strongly hinted that Vice President J.D. Vance may be the chosen heir to the MAGA movement. At a White House event on Tuesday, Trump said Vance was âmost likelyâ to carry the MAGA torch forward, adding, âIn all fairness, heâs the Vice President.â Trump also floated the idea of Secretary of State Marco Rubio teaming up with Vance in the future, though he stopped short of making a 2028 endorsement.
Itâs the clearest signal yet that Trump sees Vance as a future GOP frontrunner. Trumpâs remarks come amid swirling speculation about his own political futureâjust hours after he told CNBC he would âprobably notâ run again. Despite the constitutional ban, he continues to tease a third term. Trumpâs carefully calculated comments are fueling a storm of speculation over succession, power plays, and the long-term leadership of the Republican Party and MAGA base.

U.S. President Donald Trump was left scrambling when asked if the United States still imports uranium and fertilisers from Russiaâdespite threatening India over its purchases of Russian crude oil. âI donât know anything about it,â Trump said, dodging the question during a press briefing. His remarks came as India lashed out at what it calls Western hypocrisy, citing billions of dollars worth of U.S. imports from Russia, including enriched uranium, palladium, and fertilisers.
Trump has warned of âsubstantialâ tariff hikes on Indian imports, criticizing New Delhiâs Russian energy ties. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also criticised Trump for giving China âa passâ while risking ties with a major ally like India. The contradiction is fuelling diplomatic tensions and raising questions over U.S. trade ethics in the Ukraine war era. Indiaâs response underscores growing frustration in the Global South over selective enforcement of geopolitical pressure.

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting âshadowingâ vessels and prompting Beijingâs PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activityâas three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoalâcoincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.âs state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies.
China condemned the move, accusing Manila of ârallying external powersâ and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quadâs maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics.
