In a 1st in 6 years, PM Modi unlikely to be part of G7 meet, hosted by Canada
Sunday, 1 June 2025 PM Modi is unlikely to attend the G7 summit in Canada this June, marking the first absence since 2019. This decision arises from strained relations due to concerns over Khalistani separatists and Ottawa's handling of the Hardeep Singh Nijjar case.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “We just heard that inflation is up again, the worst in the G7. We left him with 2% inflation. We have borrowing up, unemployment up, taxes are up (..) his budget last year had high taxes. That’s why the economy is contracting.” Sir Keir Starmer replied: “I think of the working people across this country who put in every day and don’t get back what they deserve, and that’s who we’re working for. That’s who we’re fixing the country (for).”

The geopolitical stage is set for a major confrontation as the BRICS alliance prepares for its 2025 summit in Brazil. The bloc, which will include ten member nations, is openly challenging the long-standing economic hegemony of the United States. With members like China, Russia, and Brazil leading the charge, BRICS now represents a formidable force, accounting for 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP. The group's primary objective is to reduce its dependency on the U.S. dollar by promoting trade in local currencies and developing alternative financial systems.
The tension has escalated dramatically following a direct threat from former U.S. President Donald Trump. He warned that any nation aligning with BRICS' anti-dollar policies would face severe consequences, including a blanket 10% tariff with "no exceptions." This aggressive stance is a clear signal that the U.S. views the rise of BRICS as a direct threat to its ability to impose sanctions and control global financial networks like SWIFT.
In response to the mounting criticism and Trump's threats, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, has publicly pushed back. While rejecting claims that BRICS is an "anti-American" coalition, she firmly stated that the mechanism is not targeted at any single country. However, she also reiterated China's long-standing opposition to "tariff wars and trade wars," sending a clear message to Washington. This high-stakes diplomatic battle between the established G7 powers and the rising BRICS alliance could reshape the future of the global economy.

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.

In a bold and unequivocal message, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. After a high-stakes phone call post-G7 Summit, India clarified that all communications with Pakistan were strictly bilateral — handled via military channels with no third-party involvement. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized India’s long-standing position against external mediation and underlined full political unanimity on the issue. Modi also told Trump that India now views terrorism as "actual war, not proxy war", following the deadly Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.

Comedian Kapil Sharma’s café in Surrey, Canada, was attacked by Khalistani terrorists on July 9. At least nine shots were fired at the café in a shocking nighttime drive-by assault. No injuries were reported. Babbar Khalsa-linked terrorist Harjit Singh Laddi claimed responsibility, citing an old remark by Sharma. Laddi, wanted by the NIA for multiple killings, including a VHP leader, remains at large. The attack has reignited concerns over Khalistani extremists operating from Canadian soil with growing impunity.

Amid escalating trade hostilities from Trump’s high‑tariff agenda, Canada is forging a bold new path. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced Ottawa’s plan to defend jobs and supply chains by intensifying economic diplomacy and forging trade ties beyond the U.S. “While the U.S. becomes weaker,” Joly declared, “we will become stronger.”
With Washington threatening a sweeping 35% tariff starting August 1—and even mooting 50% levies on copper and 200% on pharmaceuticals—Canada is accelerating deals with the EU and diversifying its export strategy. Prime Minister Mark Carney called urgent cabinet and provincial meetings to map out the response and signal unity. Ottawa remains poised not just to withstand the U.S. onslaught but to come out fortified. As global unpredictability grows, Canada is betting big on economic resilience and a multipolar trade future.

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline.

Canada is weighing joining the US in President Donald Trump’s ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, aimed at shielding against threats like ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Chief of Defence Staff Jennie Carignan affirmed strong US-Canada military ties amid rising geopolitical tensions. While China and Russia warn against space militarization, Ottawa stresses defense, not provocation. Trump promises operational status by term-end, while Canada increases Arctic vigilance. With regional dynamics shifting toward the Indo-Pacific, North America’s security strategy could be on the brink of dramatic transformation.
