Putin Warns Trump over Tariffs on India & China | ‘You cannot do....a mistake!’ | SCO Summit 2025

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned U.S. President Donald Trump against imposing tariffs on India and China, calling it a "mistake" to pressure these nations. Putin criticized attempts to undermine their leadership, forged through challenging histories, as misguided. The remarks follow Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods, escalating U.S.-India tensions, and highlight a unified stance among SCO leaders against U.S. economic coercion, signaling a shift in global alliances. #Putin #Trump #SCOSummit2025 #Tariffs #India #China #TradeWar #GlobalAlliances #USEconomicPressure #Russia #Modi #XiJinping #Geopolitics #TianjinSummit #EconomicCoercion #USIndiaTensions #GlobalSouth #SCOPowerPlay #TradePolicy #InternationalRelations #USChinaRelations #PutinWarning #EconomicDiplomacy #StrategicAutonomy #GlobalTrade #MiddlePowerAlliance #TrumpTariffs #IndiaChinaTies #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics Also Read Donald Trump's Fresh Attack, Says India Kills Us With Tariffs, Claims 'No Duty' Offer From New Delhi Again :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trumps-fresh-attack-says-india-kills-us-with-tariffs-repeats-claim-of-no-duty-offer-from-7849863.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Calls India Trade ‘Totally One-Sided,’ Imposes New Tariffs Amid Russia Oil Dispute :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-calls-india-trade-totally-one-sided-imposes-new-tariffs-amid-russia-oil-dispute-7847665.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy Calls Modi Ahead Of SCO Summit, Days Before PM’s Meeting With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-calls-modi-ahead-of-sco-summit-days-before-pm-s-meeting-with-putin-7845961.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

US BREAKING: Trump FORCES $25B Golden Dome Trial Before 2028Vote|Political Pressure to FAIL Project?

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting. #GoldenDome #TrumpDefense #MissileDefense #2028Election #NationalSecurity #TrumpAgenda #SpaceShield #PentagonTest #FTIX #USPolitics #DefenseStrategy #TrumpCampaign #ElectionTiming #TrumpNews #MissileThreat #USMilitary #PoliticalStrategy #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsPentagon #BallisticMissiles #MilitaryFunding #PeteHegseth #MichaelGuetlein #BillionDollarTest #DefenseNews #SpaceDefense #TrumpTrialTest #PentagonMove #USDefenseShield #TrumpSpeech ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Hegseth’s Pentagon CRISIS: Sixth Senior Official QUITS Under Hegseth’s Lead| Fired Or Silenced? [Video]

Hegseth’s Pentagon CRISIS: Sixth Senior Official QUITS Under Hegseth’s Lead| Fired Or Silenced?

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher. This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community. Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon. #PeteHegseth #Pentagon #USPolitics #BreakingNews #USNews #JustinFulcher #WorldNews #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #AmericanPolitics Also Read Suicides in US Military Increased in 2023, Highlighting Ongoing Mental Health Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/suicides-in-us-military-increased-in-2023-011-3987665.html?ref=DMDesc Ex-Pentagon Spy Claims Proof Of Alien Life: US Govt In Possession Of 'Bodies, Vehicles Of Unknown Origin' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ex-pentagon-spy-claims-proof-of-alien-life-ug-govt-has-bodies-vehicles-of-unknown-origin-3916083.html?ref=DMDesc Lawmakers Press Pentagon to Ensure Military Stays Out of Election Politics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lawmakers-urge-pentagon-to-keep-military-apart-from-politics-011-3908607.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~

Hegseth RIPS Microsoft for Betrayal |Chinese Working on U.S Defense Systems, Microsoft Admits Breach

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks. #Pentagon #Microsoft #China #CyberSecurity #Defense #NationalSecurity #DoD #CloudServices #TechNews #DataSecurity #MilitaryTech #PeteHegseth #FrankShaw #ProPublica #USChinaTensions #SecurityBreach #CyberThreats #DefenseCloud #MilitaryCloud #MicrosoftChina #TechControversy #USGovernment #CloudComputing #SupplyChainSecurity #Outsourcing #CyberRisk #WashingtonDC #ChinaUS #PentagonNews #MicrosoftUpdate #BreakingNews Also Read Microsoft Introduces BioEmu, An Innovative AI System To Enhance Drug Discovery :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-introduces-bioemu-an-innovative-ai-system-to-enhance-drug-discovery-011-7798013.html?ref=DMDesc Microsoft Layoffs: Thousands Affected In Global Job Cuts :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/microsoft-layoffs-thousands-affected-in-global-job-cuts-011-7789559.html?ref=DMDesc Xbox Division in the Firing Line as Microsoft Plans Fourth Layoff in 18 Months :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/xbox-division-in-the-firing-line-as-microsoft-plans-fourth-layoff-in-18-months-011-7783751.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

U.S SHOCKS Russia As Trump Approves $300 Million Weapons To Ukraine | Patriot Missiles | Ukraine War [Video]

U.S SHOCKS Russia As Trump Approves $300 Million Weapons To Ukraine | Patriot Missiles | Ukraine War

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev. Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy. #TrumpUkraineAid #PatriotMissiles #UkraineWeapons #TrumpVsPentagon #KremlinWarning #MarcoRubio #PresidentialDrawdown #UkraineWar #USMilitaryAid #PentagonPause #UkraineCrisis #TrumpRussiaTalks #PutinOnUSAid #UkraineConflict #CeasefireEfforts #NATOTensions #RussiaUkraine #USArmsShipment #HighCostWeapons #UkraineMissileDefense ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

Russia RAGES As Trump RESUMES Weapons To Ukraine After Shocking Pentagon Pause | VIDEO

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment. But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022. #TrumpUkraineAid #UkraineWar #WeaponsToUkraine #PentagonPause #PatriotMissiles #GMLRS #TrumpHegseth #UkraineRussiaWar #MilitaryAid #UkraineDefense #TrumpVsPentagon #ArtilleryToUkraine #HowitzerRounds #PutinWarCrimes #WhiteHouseConflict #UkraineCrisis #USUkraineSupport #PrecisionWeapons #AbruptPolicyShift #TrumpReversesPause ~GR.125~HT.408~ED.346~

After Putin’s SNUB, Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif BEGS For Russia’s Attention|Calls India–Russia Ties ‘Fine’

A day after being ignored by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif attempted damage control by praising Moscow’s ties with New Delhi, calling them “fine.” Sharif also lauded Putin as a “dynamic leader” and expressed Islamabad’s desire to strengthen relations with Russia. The awkward outreach came after Sharif was seen rushing behind Putin, who walked with China’s Xi Jinping. Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi warned against global terror double standards, highlighting decades of Pakistan-linked terrorism. #ShehbazSharif #Putin #Russia #Pakistan #IndiaRussia #SCO2025 #XiJinping #Modi #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #PakistanRussia #IndiaRussiaRelations #SCO #Snubbed #Sharif #DynamicLeader #ModiAtSCO #IndiaPakistan #RussiaPakistan #SCOBeijing #WorldNews #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #PutinSharif #IndiaFirst #SharifSnub #ModiSpeech #PahalgamAttack #Terrorism #InternationalRelations Also Read Shehbaz Sharif Acknowledges India-Russia Ties, Seeks Stronger Pakistan-Russia Relations at SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shehbaz-sharif-acknowledges-india-russia-ties-seeks-stronger-pakistan-russia-relations-at-sco-summi-7848801.html?ref=DMDesc 'Like a School Kid': Pakistan PM Sharif Trolled As Modi-Putin Walks Past Him At SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/like-a-school-kid-pakistan-pm-sharif-trolled-as-modi-putin-walks-past-him-at-sco-summit-7846985.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
