Donald Trump's USA may witness massive exodus of scientists, biggest beneficiary will be China, warns report
Donald Trump
administration's move to cut spending on science will set off a brain drain. Scientific leaders say that's risking the way American science has been done for years and the preeminence of the United States in their fields, as per a report.
China and Europe are on hiring sprees. An analysis by the journal Nature captured the reversal: Applications from China and Europe for graduate student or postdoctoral positions in the United States have dropped sharply or dried up entirely since President Donald Trump took office. The number of postdocs and graduate students in the United States applying for jobs abroad has spiked, NYT News Service reported.
A university in France that created new positions for scientists with canceled federal grants capped applications after overwhelming interest. A scientific institute in Portugal said job inquiries from junior faculty members in the United States are up tenfold over the past two months, as per the report.

American science finds itself fighting on several fronts as the Trump administration seeks to cut budgets and seal borders, to punish universities for their liberalism and federal health agencies for their responses to COVID, according to NYT News Service report.
Federal science budgets have been slashed. Stricter immigration policies have spread fear among international scientists working in the United States and those who had hoped to. Graduate and postdoctoral students have had their visas canceled or worry they will. The administration cut off funding for international students at Harvard University -- a judge blocked the move, but other universities worry about being next, the NYT News Service reported.

‘I'm disappointed in Putin': Trump suggests he may cut 50-day deadline over Ukraine ceasefire
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he may shorten the 50-day deadline he gave to Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach a ceasefire deal over the war in Ukraine. 'I'm disappointed in President Putin,' Trump said while speaking alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, according to Reuters. 'I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number.' However, Trump did not say what the new timeline would be. Two weeks ago, Trump threatened 'very severe tariffs' on Russia's trading partners 'if we don't have a deal in 50 days' The BBC reported that Trump was responding to a question from a journalist about the Ukraine conflict. He said he had been close to reaching a ceasefire agreement with Putin five times. 'I've spoken to President Putin a lot. I've gotten along with him very well,' Trump said, according to the BBC. 'But then he goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever you have bodies lying all over the street.' Trump added, 'I may reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen.' Following Trump's remarks, Russia's MOEX stock index dropped by as much as 1.2% during the day, according to Reuters. The index was down 0.8% from yesterday's close as of 1219 GMT, MOEX data showed. Russia's Foreign Ministry responded by rejecting Trump's approach. 'The language of ultimatums, blackmail, and threats is unacceptable to Moscow,' it said. The ministry also called the threat of new sanctions 'mundane. (With inputs from Reuters and BBC)

Jobs, inflation, Fed move: This week could decide the fate of the US economy for years to come
US economy 2025: In what could be a defining week for the US economy, a number of critical data, political decisions, and international negotiations are converging, each with the power to shape the American economy for years to come, as per a report. The data comes amid US President Donald Trump's economic agenda, which is facing its toughest stress test yet. From the health of the job market and consumer confidence to inflation trends and the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates, this week could offer the clearest picture yet of whether Trump's economic gamble is paying off or pushing the country toward instability, according to a CNN report. Friday's July jobs report will give an indication of how American workers are faring, as per the report. So far, job growth, once a pillar of post-pandemic recovery, is showing signs of strain, according to the report. Monthly employment gains have slowed to levels not seen since 2010, excluding pandemic-era losses, as per the CNN report. Particularly troubling: manufacturing jobs, which Trump has vowed to revive, have declined for two straight months, according to the report. ALSO READ: Forget 10,000 steps! Scientists just revealed the real number you should be walking daily Adding to the pressure is a shrinking labor force, as foreign-born workers, who were long essential to several US industries, are deported in increasing numbers due to Trump's mass deportation move, as per CNN. That trend is raising concerns among employers and economists alike, as per the report. The Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, has been moving higher, which is further away from its 2% goal in recent months, which is one of the reasons behind the central bank's decision on rate cuts, as reported by CNN. While inflation cooled after the pandemic, it's now creeping higher again, fueled in part by Trump's aggressive trade policies, according to the for everyday goods, including furniture and back-to-school supplies, are rising as importers work through pre-tariff inventories, as reported by READ: Jennifer Lopez's music career in trouble? Singer parts ways with label after flop following Ben Affleck divorceOn Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady after its two-day policy meeting, as reported by CNN. While Trump has repeatedly pressured Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, most Fed officials say the economy can still handle higher borrowing costs, according to the two Fed governors are expected to vote against the consensus, a rare display of dissent that underscores how uncertain the path forward is, as per the CNN are betting the Fed will begin cutting rates in September, a move that could offer relief for homebuyers and borrowers struggling under high interest rates, according to the report. But that's far from guaranteed, especially if inflation keeps climbing, as per second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report is due on July 30, as per the Bureau of Economic Analysis' report. While economists expect a rebound from the surprising shrinkage seen in the first quarter, they warn that, just as an inventory spike may have artificially hurt GDP in the first quarter, companies working through their warehoused goods in the second quarter may make the economy look better than it actually is, as reported by CNN. Another important moment of the week may come on Friday, when Trump's pause on sweeping tariffs is set to expire, as per the report. The president has promised to send letters to more than 200 countries, setting unilateral tariff rates that could range from 10% to 20% or more, as per are watching closely. Economists say any increase above current average tariff levels, now near 18%, the highest since 1934, could rattle Wall Street and weigh heavily on consumers, according to the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet Chinese officials this week to finalise the details of the framework the two countries agreed upon at their London and Geneva meetings, as reported by CNN. The trade framework with China came after months of tariff sparring that nearly shut down commerce between the two superpowers, as per the report. Both countries agreed to pause their respective 145% and 125% tariffs until August 12, reported Thursday, the US Court of Appeals will hear arguments on whether Trump legally used emergency powers to impose his tariffs after a lower court ruled he had exceeded his authority in doing so, reported happening with Trump's tariffs?A pause expires this Friday. Trump plans to set new rates for over 200 countries, possibly raising costs for consumers. How do Trump's deportation policies affect jobs? They're shrinking the labor force, making it harder for businesses to hire, especially in agriculture and manufacturing.

Trump says will cut 50-day deadline for Russia to end Ukraine war
US President Donald Trump said on Monday he will cut the 50-day deadline he gave to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. "I'm disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed in him. So we're going to have to look and I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number," Trump said while speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of their meeting in Turnberry in western Scotland. In Russia, the Moscow Exchange Index (MOEX) declined by 0.93% on Monday after Trump's comments on reducing 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine.
