The CWC will convene to discuss the government's decision and potentially increase pressure on related demands, highlighting BJP's shift under Rahul's influence.

Trump IGNORES Multiple Phone Calls from Congress During Oval Office Signing | What’s He HIDING?

During a press conference in the Oval Office, President Trump was interrupted twice by phone calls from Congress members, which he promptly sent to voicemail. Trump announced plans to impose 50% tariffs on European Union products, citing stalled trade talks. He hinted the tariffs could target major tech companies like Apple and Samsung, potentially starting in late June. While Trump expressed hope for a fair deal, his aggressive rhetoric signals mounting U.S.-EU trade tensions, drawing close attention from markets and global tech firms. #Trump #Tariffs #EUTrade #TradeWar #Apple #Samsung #OvalOffice #CongressCalls #USTrade #TechTariffs #TradeNegotiations #GlobalMarkets #TradeTensions #USPolitics #EuropeanUnion #TradePolicy #MarketWatch #TrumpTariffs #TradeConflict #TechIndustry #BusinessNews #TradeUpdates #TradeDeal #TradeFight #USGovernment #PoliticalNews #TechGiants #GlobalTrade #TradeWar2025 #TradeWatch #TrumpSpeech Also Read 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 Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

‘NUKE GAZA’: U.S. Congressman’s SHOCKING Call for Hiroshima-Style Strike STUNS Global Muslim World [Video]

‘NUKE GAZA’: U.S. Congressman’s SHOCKING Call for Hiroshima-Style Strike STUNS Global Muslim World

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace. #GazaCrisis #RandyFine #IsraelHamasWar #FoxNews #NuclearThreat #GenocidalRhetoric #WWIIComparison #HumanRights #CAIR #MiddleEastConflict #Palestine #Israel #StopTheViolence #WarCrimes #NuclearStrike #PoliticalOutrage #CongressWatch #AmericanPolitics #MuslimRights #GlobalCondemnation #CeasefireNow #NoMoreWar #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastNews #Hamas #FoxControversy #USPolitics #RhetoricWatch #PeaceNow #FloridaPolitics #CallForAction Also Read Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.420~

WH Press Sec Slams Rep Thomas For His Comments on “The One Big, Beautiful Bill” | REVEALS Details

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has unveiled the much-anticipated details of “The One Big, Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative proposal championed by the administration. Leavitt outlined key priorities—massive spending reforms, tax realignments, and a renewed push for American energy independence. The bill, a centerpiece of the administration’s economic vision, is expected to ignite sharp debate in Congress. With bold language and uncompromising tone, the press briefing marked a new phase in Washington’s fiscal battle. Critics, however, warn of mounting debt and unrealistic expectations. #ThomasMassie #DebtBomb #USDebtCrisis #FederalSpending #Congress #BigBeautifulBill #BudgetBattle #FiscalConservatives #NationalDebt #SpendingBill #USPolitics #HouseOfRepresentatives #RealityCheck #TaxCuts #GovernmentSpending #DebtWarning #EconomicStability #BudgetDeficit #AmericanEconomy #MassieSpeech Also Read Hidden Diplomacy?

Rep Thomas Massie WARNS America of ‘Ticking Debt Bomb’ As Congress Debates Massive Spending Bill

In a stark address to Congress, Rep. Thomas Massie sounded the alarm over America’s growing national debt, calling a proposed spending measure the “Big Beautiful Bill” — a ticking time bomb. Rejecting the usual promises of tax cuts and increased spending, Massie delivered what he called a “dose of reality” about the nation’s fiscal future. As lawmakers push forward with ambitious budget plans, Massie’s warning highlights growing concerns among fiscal conservatives about America’s long-term economic stability and the burden of unsustainable government spending. #ThomasMassie #DebtBomb #USDebtCrisis #FederalSpending #Congress #BigBeautifulBill #BudgetBattle #FiscalConservatives #NationalDebt #SpendingBill #USPolitics #HouseOfRepresentatives #RealityCheck #TaxCuts #GovernmentSpending #DebtWarning #EconomicStability #BudgetDeficit #AmericanEconomy #MassieSpeech Also Read Hidden Diplomacy?

Trump Scores MASSIVE Legal Victory | Supreme Court OKs Firing of Biden Appointees

In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump had the authority to fire Biden-appointed officials Wilcox and Harris mid-term, weakening decades-old congressional protections over independent agencies. The decision—criticized by Justice Kagan—allows presidents to remove executive officers without cause, but excludes the Federal Reserve. Trump’s firings stalled the NLRB and Merit Board, halting key decisions. While the ruling marks a major shift in separation of powers, the Court says a final judgment is still pending. #SCOTUS #TrumpvWilcox #ExecutivePower #SeparationOfPowers #PresidentialAuthority #AgencyIndependence #WilcoxFiring #NLRB #MeritBoard #SupremeCourtRuling #ConstitutionalLaw #JusticeKagan #FederalAgencies #AdministrativeLaw #TrumpLegalWin #CivilServiceRights #PresidentialControl #FederalReserve #ChecksAndBalances #USPolitics #LaborLaw #LegalPrecedent #BidenAppointees #CourtDecision #PoliticalInterference #JudicialPower #BreakingLegalNews #TrumpCourtVictory Also Read BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Promises Legal Aid to Teachers Affected by Supreme Court Job Loss Ruling :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-suvendu-promises-legal-support-to-jobless-teachers-after-sc-verdict-011-4115869.html?ref=DMDesc Uttar Pradesh Minister Affirms Commitment to Quality Education for Muslim Youths in Madrassas :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/committed-to-quality-education-for-muslim-youths-in-madrassas-011-3978887.html?ref=DMDesc Slovakian Supreme Court Dismisses Lawsuit By Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis Over Secret Police Allegations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/supreme-court-upholds-ruling-against-andrej-babis-over-secret-police-allegations-gen-3633545.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

‘Blood, Water Can’t Flow Together’ Indus Water Treaty To Remain In Abeyance | India- Pakistan War

In a bold statement amid rising tensions, India has decided to put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance. Quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reiterated, “Blood and water can’t flow together.” This symbolic yet significant suspension marks a sharp turn in India's diplomatic stance, highlighting deepening hostilities. The decades-old treaty, brokered in 1960, governs water sharing with Pakistan. The announcement is expected to escalate regional tensions and draw global attention. MEA emphasized the move reflects India’s evolving security priorities and strategic assertiveness. #IndusWaterTreaty #ModiSpeech #IndiaPakistan #MEA #BreakingNews #PMModi #IndiaNews #WaterPolitics #IndusTreatySuspended #BloodAndWater #ModiWarning #IndiaGeopolitics #PakistanIndiaTensions #IndiaForeignPolicy #SouthAsiaNews #DiplomacyCrisis #IndiaMEA #NationalSecurityIndia #WaterDispute #ModiLatest Also Read Pakistan Appeals, But India Stands Firm: Indus Waters Treaty to Remain Paused :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-appeals-but-india-stands-firm-indus-waters-treaty-to-remain-paused-4153729.html?ref=DMDesc India To Keep Indus Waters Treaty Suspended Until Pakistan Ends Cross-Border Terrorism: MEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-to-keep-indus-waters-treaty-suspended-until-pakistan-ends-cross-border-terrorism-mea-4152251.html?ref=DMDesc India Begins Work On Hydroelectric Projects In Kashmir Amid Indus Treaty Suspension With Pakistan: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-begins-work-on-hydroelectric-projects-in-kashmir-amid-indus-treaty-suspension-with-pakistan-r-4143719.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~
