Putin Dollar Shock For Trump After BRICS Declaration? Russia's Big De-Dollarisation Announcement
Donald Trump Threatens 10% Tariff on 'Little' BRICS: India Among Nations Warned of 'Very Quick End' US President Donald Trump has sounded alarm bells for India, issuing a direct 10% tariff threat on all BRICS nations. In his remarks, Trump warned that if BRICS forms 'in a meaningful way, it will end very quickly.' While he didn't name countries, India, one of the founding BRICS members, is firmly in the spotlight. The comments follow BRICS expansion and moves like BRICS Pay, a cross-border payment system aimed at reducing dollar dependency. Trump labeled these initiatives 'anti-American,' and pledged to block any US digital currency to defend the dollar. India, balancing ties with the US and the Global South, now finds itself in a strategic squeeze: stay aligned with BRICS or risk economic retaliation? With a 50% tariff slapped on Brazil and more threats looming, how will India navigate this geopolitical and economic crossfire?#donaldtrump #brics #india #indiaus #brics #trumptariff #dollarvsrupee #globaltrade #geopolitics #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews 2.7K views | 1 day ago

Israel-Iran war: Will the ceasefire hold?
The 12-day Israel-Iran war, backed by U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, ended with a ceasefire—but without decisive victory. President Trump declared Iran's facilities 'obliterated,' yet U.S. and European intelligence suggested only a temporary setback. Iran had likely dispersed its enriched uranium, and experts say it could resume enrichment within months. For Israel, the war exposed its overdependence on the U.S. and its inability to dismantle Iran's nuclear programme or provoke regime change. While Washington wants to stop a nuclear Iran, it avoids deep military entanglement in West Asia, especially under domestic pressure. For Iran, the attack echoed historical betrayals like the 1953 coup, strengthening its resolve. Many now argue that only nuclear deterrence—like North Korea's—can shield Iran from foreign aggression. As Iran rebuilds its arsenal and Israel stays on high alert, the ceasefire is only a pause. The deeper conflict and its dangers remain unresolved.

Russia-Ukraine war: Vladimir Putin ready for peace talks; sets big condition
Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for peace talks with Ukraine but Moscow remains committed to achieving its "main goal", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, Reuters reported citing state media on Sunday. 'President Putin has repeatedly spoken of his desire to bring the Ukrainian settlement to a peaceful conclusion as soon as possible. This is a long process, it requires effort, and it is not easy,' Peskov said. 'The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear,' he added. Peskov noted that the world had grown used to US President Donald Trump 's occasionally 'harsh' rhetoric, but emphasized that Trump had also made it clear he remained committed to pursuing a peace agreement with Russia. This came after Kyiv proposed a new round of peace talks next week after negotiations got stalled in early June. "Security Council Secretary Umerov also reported that he had proposed the next meeting with the Russian side for next week. The momentum of the negotiations must be stepped up." AFP quoted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as saying. Trump, on Monday, unveiled new weapons support for Ukraine and warned that sanctions would target buyers of Russian exports unless Moscow agreed to a peace deal within 50 days. Two rounds of negotiations in Istanbul between Moscow and Kyiv failed to produce any breakthrough toward a ceasefire, resulting instead in agreements on large-scale prisoner swaps and the repatriation of fallen soldiers' bodies.
