US seems content to cosy up to Russia instead of imposing tariffs
Thursday, 3 April 2025 Russia is the glaring omission from Donald Trump's tariffs list. Along with Cuba, Belarus and North Korea, it has been spared the sweeping measures, with America's foes apparently treated better than many of its friends.
Trump has unleashed a new wave of tariffs, hitting allies like India with a massive 26% tax while surprisingly sparing Russia and North Korea. The White House claims this move is to free America from foreign dependence, but critics are calling it a blatant geopolitical game. Is this a strategic...
A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.”
The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.”

President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit turbulence in the U.S. Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is racing to meet Trump’s July 4 deadline, but faces internal GOP divisions. At least eight Republican senators oppose key parts of the bill, ranging from Medicaid cuts to renewable energy credit phaseouts. Some GOP factions demand deeper spending cuts, while others seek to protect healthcare and green energy.
Meanwhile, markets are watching closely as the dollar dips and renewable energy stocks slide. Senators like Thom Tillis and Rand Paul have signaled likely opposition, placing final passage in jeopardy. Trump, watching closely, has lashed out at dissenters on social media. The bill, if passed, could reshape healthcare access for millions and eliminate major green energy incentives. Final voting may happen late Monday or early Tuesday, but only if Thune can negotiate a fragile consensus.

Communist candidate Jeannette Jara has won Chile’s leftwing primary with over 60% of the vote, setting up a high-stakes presidential showdown against far-right frontrunner José Antonio Kast—often dubbed the “Chilean Trump.” Jara, backed by a united left, vows to raise taxes on the wealthy and boost job creation, while Kast leads polls with a tough-on-crime, anti-immigration platform. The race is sharply polarized, as Jara seeks to overcome President Boric’s low approval and rally progressive forces ahead of the November election.

Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship.

Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 50% tariff on EU imports could cost Germany up to €200 billion by 2028, a new report warns. The German Economic Institute says the tariffs, if enacted and matched by EU countermeasures, would slash Germany’s GDP and trade surplus with the US. Trump accuses the EU of unfair trade practices and announced the move due to stalled negotiations. With Germany’s exports to the US already dominant, the economic damage could be staggering. The EU vows to defend its interests and warns against provocation-based policies.

As U.S. trade tensions mount, China is strengthening its grip on Latin America. At the China-CELAC Forum in Beijing, leaders from across the region gathered, with many deepening their commitment to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. With two-thirds of Latin American countries already on board, China has become the top trading partner for major economies like Brazil and Peru. Meanwhile, Trump's tariff threats and warnings over the Panama Canal have driven mistrust. China now positions itself as the reliable partner Latin America can count on.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. President Donald Trump a “courageous man,” saying he once again respects America under Trump’s leadership. During his visit to Belarus, Putin praised Trump for surviving last year’s assassination attempt and credited him with restoring direct U.S.-Russia communications.
Trump emphasized that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza wouldn’t have happened under his presidency. Putin, speaking from Minsk, also said Trump is sincerely trying to broker peace in Ukraine. Since returning to office, Trump has reportedly spoken to Putin five times, reigniting direct channels cut off under Biden. The remarks underscore a dramatic shift in global tone and U.S. diplomacy under Trump’s second term.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader.
However, NK News reports that Pyongyang’s UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trump’s first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements.
Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trump’s remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thaw—especially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach.

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity.
