In a major breakthrough just days before the July 9 deadline, Pakistan and the United States have reached an understanding on a crucial trade and tariff agreement. Led by Commerce Secretary Jawad Paal, the Pakistani delegation held four days of negotiations in Washington aimed at avoiding the re-imposition of a 29% tariff on key exports like textiles and agricultural products.
While a formal announcement awaits the conclusion of similar talks with other U.S. partners, officials confirm that a broad framework has been agreed upon. The deal is expected to unlock access to the U.S. market, secure tariff relief, and attract potential American investment in Pakistan’s mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors — especially Reko Diq. The understanding also opens doors to cooperation with the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Both sides now look to reset strained economic ties dating back to the Trump-era tariff hikes, giving exporters and investors renewed confidence.

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

President Donald Trump is set to send “take-it-or-leave-it” tariff warning letters to 12 nations as trade talks stall and a July 9 deadline looms. The White House confirms tariffs could rise to as high as 70% if no deals are reached. With only the UK and Vietnam finalizing limited agreements, Trump is abandoning talks in favor of direct ultimatums. Allies are stunned, and global markets brace for a trade shock that could disrupt supply chains and trigger economic retaliation.

On June 24, the UN Security Council held a briefing on Resolution 2231 (2015) and Iran’s nuclear program. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, highlighted how recent military escalations between Israel and Iran and U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites have complicated the full implementation of the JCPOA. She condemned Iran’s missile strikes on a U.S. base in Qatar, warning of increased regional insecurity. DiCarlo stressed that the recent ceasefire offers a vital chance to avoid further conflict and achieve a peaceful resolution of Iran’s nuclear issue.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.

In a 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major judicial win, curbing federal judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies. Trump celebrated the ruling as a “monumental victory” for the Constitution, potentially clearing the path for sweeping policy moves, including controversial immigration actions. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor slammed the decision as a threat to the rule of law, warning it could erode judicial checks. While Trump’s birthright citizenship order remains blocked, the new ruling shifts the legal battlefield dramatically in his favor.
