‘No deal? No problem': Trump eyes sweeping 15–20% global tariff plan on non-deal trading partners
President Donald Trump said on Monday most trading partners that do not negotiate separate trade deals would soon face tariffs of 15% to 20% on their exports to the United States, well above the broad 10% tariff he imposed in April. read more US President Donald Trump on Monday announced plans to implement a 'world tariff' of 15% to 20% on exports from most countries that have not signed separate trade agreements with the United States, well above the 10% baseline set in April. Speaking alongside UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, Trump said notifications would soon be sent to around 200 countries outlining the new default tariff rates. 'I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15 to 20% range,' Trump told reporters STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The move is part of Trump's broader strategy to eliminate America's long-standing trade deficits. He has already unveiled tariffs of up to 50% for certain countries, with new rates for Brazil set to take effect on Friday. The announcements have spurred feverish negotiations by a host of countries seeking lower tariff rates, including India, Pakistan, Canada, and Thailand, among others. The US president on Sunday clinched a huge trade deal with the European Union that includes a 15% tariff on most EU goods, $600 billion of investments in the US by European firms, and $750 billion in energy purchases over the next three years. That followed a $550-billion deal with Japan last week and smaller agreements with Britain, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Other talks are ongoing, including with India, but prospects have dimmed for many more agreements before Friday, Trump's deadline for deals before higher rates take effect. Trump has repeatedly said he favours straightforward tariff rates over complex negotiations. 'We're going to be setting a tariff for essentially, the rest of the world,' he said again on Monday. 'And that's what they're going to pay if they want to do business in the United States. Because you can't sit down and make 200 deals." STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday trade talks with the U.S. were at an intense phase, conceding that his country was still hoping to walk away with a tariff rate below the 35% announced by Trump on some Canadian imports. Carney conceded this month that Canada - which sends 75% of its exports to the United States - would likely have to accept some tariffs. With inputs from agencies

‘We'll wipe it out faster…'; Trump again threatens ‘very nasty' and ‘stupid' Iran over nuclear enrichment
Donald Trump has renewed his threats against Iran, just weeks after carrying out military attacks on three of its nuclear sites. The US President's statement comes in reaction to Tehran's stand that it will continue to enhance nuclear enrichment for civilian purposes. U.S. President Donald Trump meets with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Trump Turnberry golf course in Turnberry, Scotland, Britain, July 28, 2025. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein(REUTERS) Speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at a press conference in Scotland, Trump claimed that Iran was 'sending very bad signals, very nasty signals.' He called Iran's determination on enrichment 'stupid' and promised to completely shut it down. Trump warns Iran over nuclear enrichment Stressing that they shouldn't pursue nuclear enrichment, Trump said, 'We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we'll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it.' 'We will do that gladly, openly and gladly,' he continued. Trump denounced Iran's rhetoric, stating that it has been quite offensive in both their words and their mouth. 'They got the hell knocked out of them and they…I don't think they know it. I actually don't think they know.' Also Read: Trump reveals why he cut ties with Epstein, claims his name was planted in files: 'He stole people who…' Iran says nuclear enrichment 'is so dear to us' Ahead of negotiations with the UK, France, and Germany this week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently affirmed Tehran's right to enrich uranium. 'Our enrichment is so dear to us,' he said, calling it an achievement of Iranian scientists. While breakthroughs were reported, Iranian authorities characterized the negotiations as 'serious, frank, and detailed,' marking the first significant diplomatic flurry since the US assaults and the consequent conclusion of the confrontation with Israel. US forces attacked Iran's nuclear installations in Fordow, Esfahan, and Natanz on June 22 after an Israeli offensive that lasted 12 days. In response to American aggression, Iran targetted the biggest American military facility in the Middle East, Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. US and Qatari officials said all missiles were intercepted and there were no fatalities or significant damage, despite Iran's claims of successful strikes.

Trump says many are starving in Gaza, vows to set up food centres
Cairo/Geneva: US President Donald Trump said on Monday many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access, as Palestinians struggled to feed their children a day after Israel declared steps to improve the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening starvation in Gaza as real, Trump's assessment put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Sunday "there is no starvation in Gaza" and vowed to fight on against the Palestinian militant group Hamas - a statement he reposted on X on says US will work with Thailand and Cambodia, adds both 'want to settle'.Trump, speaking during a visit to Scotland, said Israel has a lot of responsibility for aid flows, and that a lot of people could be saved. "You have a lot of starving people," he said."We're going to set up food centres," with no fences or boundaries to ease access, Trump said. The US would work with other countries to provide more humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, including food and sanitation, he Monday, the Gaza health ministry said at least 14 people had died in the past 24 hours of starvation and malnutrition, bringing the war's death toll from hunger to 147, including 88 children, most in just the last few announced several measures over the weekend, including daily humanitarian pauses to fighting in three areas of Gaza, new safe corridors for aid convoys, and airdrops. The decision followed the collapse of ceasefire talks on Nabil from Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza described the struggle of trying to feed her three children. "When you go to bed hungry, you wake up hungry. We distract them with anything ... to make them calm down," she told Reuters."I call on the world, on those with merciful hearts, the compassionate, to look at us with compassion, to be kind to us, to stand with us until aid comes in and ensure it reaches us."Two Israeli defence officials said the international pressure prompted the new Israeli measures, as did the worsening conditions on the ground.U.N. agencies said a long-term and steady supply of aid was needed. The World Food Programme said 60 trucks of aid had been dispatched - short of target. Almost 470,000 people in Gaza are enduring famine-like conditions, with 90,000 women and children in need of specialist nutrition treatments, it said."Our target at the moment, every day is to get 100 trucks into Gaza," WFP Regional Director for the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe, Samer AbdelJaber, told Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, told Reuters the situation is catastrophic."At this time, children are dying every single day from starvation, from preventable disease. So time has run out."Netanyahu has denied any policy of starvation towards Gaza, saying aid supplies would be kept up whether Israel was negotiating a ceasefire or fighting.A COGAT spokesperson said Israel had not placed a time limit on the humanitarian pauses in its military operation, a day after UN aid chief Tom Fletcher said Israel had decided 'to support a one-week scale-up of aid"."We hope this pause will last much longer than a week, ultimately turning into a permanent ceasefire,' Fletcher's spokesperson, Eri Kaneko, said on office did not immediately respond to a request for says Hamas difficult to deal withIn his statement on Sunday, Netanyahu said Israel would continue to fight till achieving the release of remaining hostages held by Hamas and the destruction of its military and governing said Hamas had become difficult to deal with in recent days, but he was talking with Netanyahu about "various plans" to free hostages still held in the war began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked communities across the border in southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking another 251 hostage, according to Israeli Gaza health ministry said that 98 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the past 24 of the trucks that made it into Gaza were seized by desperate Palestinians, and some by armed looters, witnesses said."Currently aid comes for the strong who can race ahead, who can push others and grab a box or a sack of flour. That chaos must be stopped and protection for those trucks must be allowed," said Emad, 58, who used to own a factory in Gaza WFP said it has 170,000 metric tons of food in the region, outside Gaza, which would be enough to feed the whole population for the next three months if it gets the clearance to bring into the said more than 120 truckloads of aid were distributed in Gaza on Sunday by the U.N. and international aid was expected on Monday. Qatar said it had sent 49 trucks that arrived in Egypt en route for Gaza. Jordan and the United Arab Emirates airdropped cut off aid to Gaza from the start of March in what it said was a means to pressure Hamas into giving up dozens of hostages it still holds, and reopened aid with new restrictions in May. Hamas accuses Israel of using hunger as a says it abides by international law but must prevent aid from being diverted by militants, and blames Hamas for the suffering of Gaza's people.
