Parameswaran Iyer named temporary nominee to IMF board ahead of meet to decide on $1.3bn Pakistan aid
Sunday, 4 May 2025 Parameswaran Iyer has been appointed as India's temporary nominee to the International Monetary Fund board, preceding a crucial meeting regarding a $1.3 billion support package for Pakistan. India opposes this funding due to concerns about Pakistan's alleged support for terrorism, particularly after the Pahalgam attack. This appointment follows the dismissal of Krishnamurthy Subramanian.
At the UN's 80th anniversary, India strongly criticized Pakistan for promoting cross-border terrorism, citing the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. India's.. IndiaTimes
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.
