Von Der Leyen's Desperate Plea Moves Trump To Delay 50% EU Tariff To July 9 After Tense Call | EU-US [Video]

Von Der Leyen's Desperate Plea Moves Trump To Delay 50% EU Tariff To July 9 After Tense Call | EU-US

US President Donald Trump has delayed the implementation of a 50% tariff on EU goods from June 1 to July 9, 2025, following a direct appeal from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Trump posted on Truth Social that it was a "privilege" to extend the deadline. Trade tensions remain high, with the EU warning of retaliation if a fair deal isn’t reached. The delay follows earlier tariff hikes in April, and while the UK secured a trade reprieve, Brussels continues to face pressure from US trade demands and regulatory scrutiny. #TrumpTariffDelay #EUTariffs #TrumpTradePolicy #TradeTensions #VonDerLeyen #USPolitics #EUTradeWar #TruthSocial #TradeDeficit #TariffHike #USNews #GlobalTrade #TrumpEUDeal #50PercentTariff #TradeNegotiations #BrusselsResponse #TariffExtension #USImports #TradeWarAlert #UKTradeDeal Also Read AI-Generated Trump Video Used In Karnataka To Dupe Over 200 In Investment Scam :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/ai-generated-trump-video-used-in-karnataka-to-dupe-over-200-in-investment-scam-4164151.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-bars-harvard-from-enrolling-foreign-students-4161385.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~

‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe [Video]

‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure. #ICC #USSanctions #UN #VolkerTürk #InternationalJustice #Netanyahu #AfghanistanWarCrimes #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #EU #GlobalJustice #ICCJUDGES #GazaInvestigation #SanctionsBacklash #TrumpSanctions #USvsICC #InternationalLaw #WarCrimesAccountability #JusticeSystem #LegalIndependence Also Read Women's Cricket World Cup Schedule: ICC Announces Match Dates, Venues; Pakistan Matches In Colombo :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/womens-cricket-world-cup-schedule-icc-announces-match-dates-venues-pakistan-matches-in-colombo-4170415.html?ref=DMDesc Shreyas Iyer Wins ICC Award For His Valuable Contribution In Champions Trophy 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shreyas-iyer-wins-icc-award-for-his-valuable-contribution-in-champions-trophy-2025-4124361.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Cricketers Face Another Setback as All Fifty Players Go Unsold in the Hundred Draft :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/pakistan-cricketers-face-another-setback-as-all-fifty-players-go-unsold-in-the-hundred-draft-4094855.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance [Video]

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power.
