Saudi Arabia to give $6Bn to Syria | Big jolt to Netanyahu | Israel's role in Syrian Civil War ends?

Saudi Arabia has signed over $6 billion in investment deals with Syria, signaling strong support for President Al-Sharaa amid ongoing unrest. The agreements cover energy, infrastructure, real estate, and agriculture, aiming to revive Syria’s war-torn economy and create up to 200,000 jobs. Analysts see this as a major geopolitical shift—and a blow to Israel’s regional influence—as Tel Aviv has actively targeted Syrian positions during its civil war. The move comes after Saudi and Qatari efforts cleared Syria’s World Bank debt, unlocking fresh international lending. #SaudiSyriaDeal #MiddleEastShift #SyriaReconstruction #BreakingNews #IsraelBlow #AlSharaa #SaudiInvestment #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #DruzeCrisis #QatarSyriaDebt #MiddleEastUpdate #DamascusDeals #EnergyInvestment #SaudiDiplomacy #ArabUnity #RebuildSyria #SyriaEconomy #IsraelVsSyria #ConstructionBoom #NetanyahuSetback #HumanRightsCrisis #PostWarRecovery #WesternSanctions #SaudiSoftPower #GulfPolitics #SyriaNews #SectarianUnrest #JobCreation #SyriaFuture #RedrawingAlliances #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

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~
