‘He believes in America First, just as I believe in India First’: PM Modi on friendship with US President
Sunday, 16 March 2025 During a conversation with Lex Fridman, PM Modi reflected on his relationship with former US President Donald Trump, citing moments of mutual respect and trust. Modi highlighted Trump's courage during the 'Howdy Modi' event and their shared nationalistic values, underscoring their strong personal connection.
Tulsi Gabbard's recent remarks about violence against minorities in Bangladesh have sparked controversy. While Bangladesh’s interim government strongly rejected her claims, Gabbard also spoke about strengthening India-U.S. ties, defending Trump’s 'America First' policy. Here's a quick breakdown...
U.S. President Trump has once again claimed he stopped a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan, saying he spoke with Prime Minister Modi to prevent escalation. The Indian government strongly rejected Trump’s claim, asserting the ceasefire was a bilateral decision taken at the DGMO level. Strained U.S.-India ties, already impacted by Trump’s tariff policies, have further simmered as Modi pushed back against pressure tactics. Meanwhile, Indian opposition leaders echo Trump’s remarks to target Modi, reviving memories of the “Howdy Modi” event and questioning his global stance.

The U.S. has shut its closest allies out of Ukraine peace intelligence in a stunning break with the Five Eyes alliance. A July 20 directive from DNI Tulsi Gabbard classified all Russia–Ukraine negotiation files as NOFORN—blocking access for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Reports first surfaced via CBS News, sparking outrage across NATO capitals. Critics say Trump’s “America First” strategy risks fracturing the alliance, weakening Kyiv, and handing Moscow leverage, with allies warning of possible retaliation.

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannon’s fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause — denying federal disaster aid to U.S. states that boycott Israel. That clause has since been removed, according to documents shared by conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
However, states will still be required to dismantle certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs — particularly those perceived as anti-white — to access $1.9 billion in federal emergency funding. Bannon blasted Trump, branding him "Israel First" and accusing him of betraying America First values. The explosive memo and its quiet revisions have ignited debates within Trump’s own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction.

U.S. President Donald Trump is signaling a tougher stance on Russia as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that all options remain open for new sanctions amid Moscow’s intensified bombardment of Ukraine. Bessent called Putin’s actions “despicable and defiant,” marking the strongest hint yet of looming economic penalties. Despite Trump’s earlier hopes for diplomacy after his Alaska summit with Putin, frustration is mounting as Russian strikes escalate, fueling speculation that sanctions—or even broader confrontation—could push the U.S. and Russia closer to all-out conflict.
