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~

China FIRES BACK at U.S. Over Trump's Tariff Penalty on BRICS Allies, Warns Against Tariff War 2.0 [Video]

China FIRES BACK at U.S. Over Trump's Tariff Penalty on BRICS Allies, Warns Against Tariff War 2.0

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. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USChinaRelations #WorldNews #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #DeDollarization #OneindiaNews #TradeWar #InternationalNews Also Read BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’ [Video]

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’

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. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USTariff #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #TradeWar #OneindiaNews #USDollar #Dedollarization Also Read Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War? [Video]

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War?

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia. #Trump #EU #Ukraine #Putin #Zelensky #Russia #US #NATO #UkrainePeace #BreakingNews #Moscow #Kyiv #Washington #Europe #Conflict #Diplomacy #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Axios #TheAtlantic ~HT.410~GR.124~

The war in West Asia has entered a chilling new phase. Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, senior leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, declared that Israel will “pay the price” for its aggression, following the martyrdom of Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi and several ministers in a deadly strike. Speaking to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti emphasized that retaliation is inevitable, stressing, “Our actions will precede our words.” He reaffirmed that the liberation of Palestine remains Yemen’s foremost cause and vowed continued support for Gaza despite the heavy sacrifices. The Ansar Allah Political Bureau also issued a statement mourning fallen Yemeni leaders and warning Tel Aviv of looming consequences. Yemen’s message is clear: its strikes have already punished the US and Britain, and now Israel will face similar retribution.

BIG BREAKING: Israel Kills YEMEN Houthi PM Ahmed al-Rahawi In One Of BIGGEST Attacks On Sana'a [Video]

BIG BREAKING: Israel Kills YEMEN Houthi PM Ahmed al-Rahawi In One Of BIGGEST Attacks On Sana'a

In a shocking turn of events, Israel has launched one of its biggest and most daring strikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killing Houthi Prime Minister. The attack marks a staggering escalation in the Israel-Houthi conflict, as Israeli fighter jets targeted key Houthi leadership inside the heart of Sana’a. Houthi PM’s assassination not only sends shockwaves through Yemen but also rattles the balance of power across the Middle East. The Houthis, already engaged in a fierce standoff with Israel, have vowed retaliation after what they call a “cowardly act of aggression.” Analysts believe this move could trigger an unprecedented regional backlash, dragging Iran and other actors further into the conflict. With growing tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, this development raises questions: Has Israel made its biggest mistake yet? Or is this a strategic masterstroke? The fallout could redefine the Middle East battlefield. #Israel #Houthis #Yemen #Sanaa #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #IsraelStrike #WarNews #AhmedAlRahawi #HouthiPM #IsraelHouthisWar #Airstrike #IsraelVsHouthis #YemenCrisis #RedSeaTensions #IsraelAttack #HouthisRetaliation #GlobalNews #MiddleEastConflict #Escalation ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
