India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil [Video]

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties. #IndiaOilImports #RussianOil #TrumpTariffs #EnergySecurity #GlobalOilPrices #RussianCrude #OilTradeTensions #IndiaEnergyPolicy #USIndiaRelations #BrentCrude #OPECPlusCuts #PriceCapMechanism #RussianLNG #OilMarketStability #IndiaDefiesTrump #OilSupplyCrisis #GlobalEnergyCrisis #IndianRefiners #USRussiaTensions #OilImportsNews ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment [Video]

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War. #Trump #Russia #NuclearSubs #WW3Fears #MedvedevThreat #Putin #USRussiaTensions #NuclearStandoff #DeadHandThreat #WarFears #TruthSocial #GlobalCrisis #NuclearWeapons #BoreiSubmarines #BulavaMissiles #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #NuclearDeployment #USMilitaryPower #RussiaVsUS ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.318~

Anti-Trump Protests ERUPT Across Brazil Outside U.S Embassy Over Tariffs | Bolsonaro Blamed [Video]

Anti-Trump Protests ERUPT Across Brazil Outside U.S Embassy Over Tariffs | Bolsonaro Blamed

A fiery protest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia as Brazilian students, workers, political parties, and social movements came together to oppose President Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs. The demonstrators, chanting “Trump’s paws off Brazil,” accused Trump of economic aggression and denounced Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly siding with U.S. interests over national sovereignty. Waving banners and flags, protesters vowed to defend Brazil’s economy from what they called “imperialist interference,” promising to take the matter to diplomatic and legal platforms. One protester passionately declared the need to “bury Bolsonarism,” signaling rising domestic discontent with U.S.-Brazil relations. Brazil’s government has already announced plans to challenge the tariffs on international legal grounds. The protest not only highlighted economic fears but also symbolized growing resistance to what many see as external pressure dictating Brazil’s policy. The fiery slogans and symbolic defiance mark a bold moment in Brazil’s struggle for economic independence. #Trump #BrazilProtest #Tariffs #Brasilia #USBrazilRelations #TrumpTariffs #Bolsonarism #EconomicSovereignty #BrazilResists #USImperialism #BrazilNews #AntiTrumpProtest #BrazilianWorkers #USEmbassyProtest #TradeWar #InternationalPolitics #LatinAmericaNews #TrumpInBrazil #GlobalProtests #EconomicJustice ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.346~

Trump Slaps EU With 15% Tariff Deal — “Better? No.” | Ursula Forced to Smile, U.S Refuses Any Relief [Video]

Trump Slaps EU With 15% Tariff Deal — “Better? No.” | Ursula Forced to Smile, U.S Refuses Any Relief

U.S President Trump refused to lower tariffs for the European Union, finalizing a major trade deal that locks in a flat 15% duty on most EU imports. When asked if he could offer a “better” rate, Trump snapped: “Better? Meaning lower? No.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to smile through the awkward moment, securing zero tariff relief despite a last-minute scramble to strike a deal at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland. The EU, in return, agreed to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases—but walked away with no concessions, no exemptions, and plenty of political pressure at home.

Trump Explodes Ursula Over Climate, Border, Tariff |EU Chief Seen 'Uncomfortable' in Brutal Showdown

U.S President Donald Trump publicly humiliated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during a high-stakes trade announcement in Scotland. From mocking wind power — “Windmills are a scam!” — to refusing any EU tariff relief, Trump dominated the press conference, calling out Ursula for “not taking notes” and blasting the EU’s climate and immigration failures. Despite the EU’s hopes for a softer deal, Trump slammed them with a 15% tariff, compared their policies to “a con job,” and left Ursula visibly stunned. With no concessions secured, the EU leader stood by awkwardly as Trump delivered blow after blow in front of a global audience. #Trump #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #EUTradeDeal #TrumpVsEU #WindmillsAreAScam #TrumpSpeech #Turnberry #USPolitics #EuropeanUnion #BreakingNews #ImmigrationCrisis #ClimateDebate #TrumpNews Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc

Trump’s $2 BILLION Attack on Harvard: Mass Layoffs Kick In as Harvard Faces Research Fund Freeze

Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment. The school warns of massive layoffs, halted hiring, and deep cost-cutting to survive. President Alan Garber calls the changes “disruptive and painful,” as tensions escalate over allegations of antisemitism and political bias. With international students at risk and Harvard’s finances strained, America’s richest university finds itself at the center of a high-stakes political battle. #Harvard #Trump #EducationCrisis #ResearchFunding #EndowmentTax #StudentCap #HigherEd #Layoffs #CampusCrisis #InternationalStudents #PoliticalClash #AlanGarber #EducationPolicy #USPolitics #TrumpVsHarvard #AcademicFreedom #UniversityFunding #ResearchCrisis #TuitionHikes #EducationNews

‘No Weapons For Ukraine’ Leavitt SLAMS Media For Spreading Fake News On Ukraine Aid | White House [Video]

‘No Weapons For Ukraine’ Leavitt SLAMS Media For Spreading Fake News On Ukraine Aid | White House

In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage. #WhiteHouseBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #UkraineAid #FakeNewsAlert #GazaWar #BidenMiddleEastPlan #HostageCrisis #IsraelHamasCeasefire #PentagonReview #WeaponAidTruth #USForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #GlobalAid #GazaHostages #RoutineAudit #PressConference #MiddleEastConflict #HamasCeasefire #LeavittFightsBack #UkraineSupport Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
