Ukraine war: Trump threatens India with higher tariffs over Russian oil
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would substantially raise tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' Trump said in a social media post. 'Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.' He did not elaborate on what the tariff would be. India's trade ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last week, Trump said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on goods imported from India and added that the world's fifth-largest economy would also face an unspecified penalty but gave no details.

Hong Kong's wealthiest family denied that their residence of more than half a century is up for sale, as CK Asset Holdings issued an unusual rebuttal of rumours that have circulated for days on social media. Social media speculation of the impending sale of 79 Deep Water Bay Road was 'entirely fabricated', 'false' and 'groundless,' CK Asset said in a statement on behalf of the company's chairman and managing director, Victor Li Tzar-kuoi 'The reports and posts on certain websites and social media platforms regarding the sale of 79 Deep Water Bay Road are entirely fabricated, speculative, and lack any factual basis,' CK Asset said in a statement on Monday. Li, who was raised in the family home, said many 'made up' rumours involving himself and his family had been circulated online. 'Some are illogical, others are simply deceptive,' he said in the statement. 'Given the rise in scam cases, I urge the public and media not to trust or spread such rumours to avoid potential losses.'
