US clears $131 million sale of defence software, equipment to India
Thursday, 1 May 2025 The Trump administration has approved a $131 million sale of maritime domain awareness software and equipment to India. This sale aims to bolster India's maritime capabilities and strategic posture in the Indo-Pacific region. The US believes this will strengthen the US-Indian strategic relationship and promote stability and security in the region.
Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections — a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahu’s visit could reshape the Middle East — militarily and diplomatically.

Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal."
The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity.
This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war.

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism
At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today.
