India-US Trade War Escalates:India HALTS Postal Service To US | India’s Revenge Move Amid Trade War

India has announced a dramatic suspension of all postal services to the United States starting August 25, following sweeping tariff changes by the Trump administration. The move comes after Executive Order No. 14324 ended the duty-free exemption for items up to $800, hitting Indian exporters and postal customers hard. With US-bound carriers refusing consignments due to undefined customs processes, India Post said only letters, documents, and small gifts under $100 will be exempt. The suspension follows Trump’s 25% tariff on India, coupled with an additional 25% penalty for buying Russian oil, pushing the total levy to 50%. Protests are rising as businesses, families, and exporters brace for chaos in shipments, refunds, and trade flows. The Department of Posts has promised efforts to restore services but warned delays could be prolonged, intensifying an already heated US–India trade standoff. #IndiaUS #TrumpTariffs #PostalSuspension #IndiaTrade #USEconomy #ModiTrump #TradeWar #IndiaExports #PostalCrisis #BreakingNews #IndiaNews #TrumpMoves #USIndiaRelations #GlobalTrade #DutyShock #CustomsCrisis #TariffWar #PostalBan #IndianExports #EconomicTensions ~HT.410~ED.103~

BREAKING: Zelensky Surrenders To Putin? Ukraine Ready To Cede Terrorities To Russia | Russia-Ukraine

In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelensky’s authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks. #Ukraine #Russia #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Territory #Ceasefire #Diplomacy #Kiev #Moscow #Negotiations #UkraineConflict #RussiaNews #UkraineUpdate #WorldNews #Geopolitics #SecurityGuarantees #BreakingNews Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy Slams Ongoing Russian Strikes As Trump–Putin Hold High-Stakes Alaska Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-slams-ongoing-russian-strikes-as-trump-putin-hold-high-stakes-alaska-summit-7831405.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian First Lady’s Special Surprise Stop In Jaipur Before Japan Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-first-lady-s-special-surprise-stop-in-jaipur-before-japan-visit-7821279.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time? #Trump #Israel #Hostages #GazaWar #Netanyahu #Hamas #GazaCity #OperationIronFist #OvalOffice #IDF #Ceasefire #MiddleEast #HostageCrisis #BreakingNews #TwoFrontWar #USPolitics #Palestine #HostageFamilies #October7 #WarEscalation ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Spain’s DEADLIEST Summer: 1,100 KILLED As Heatwave RIPS Through Madrid & Seville | Worst Since 2022

Spain is reeling after a deadly 16-day heatwave claimed more than 1,100 lives, with temperatures soaring above 40°C nationwide. Officials reported 1,149 excess deaths, mostly among vulnerable seniors and women. Madrid and Seville were hit hardest, with the urban heat island effect amplifying conditions. Wildfires in Catalonia destroyed farmland and worsened air quality. Experts warn climate change has made heatwaves hotter, longer, and three times deadlier. Spain, already scarred by past deadly summers, now faces a mounting public health and environmental crisis. #SpainHeatwave #ClimateCrisis #HeatwaveDeaths #GlobalWarming #ExtremeHeat #UrbanHeatIsland #Madrid #Seville #Catalonia #Wildfires #AirQuality #ClimateChange #Heatwave2025 #DeadlyHeatwave #HealthCrisis #Environment #ClimateRisk #EuropeHeatwave #HotterPlanet #HeatwaveAlert #HeatwaveImpact #GlobalHeat #DisasterNews #SpainClimate #HeatDeaths #BreakingNews #HeatwaveSpain #ClimateEmergency #RisingTemperatures #SilentKiller Also Read Flash Floods In Pakistan Lead To Over 320 Deaths, Rescue Efforts Underway :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/flash-floods-in-pakistan-lead-to-over-320-deaths-rescue-efforts-underway-011-7831519.html?ref=DMDesc Major Reports on Climate Change Impact in the US Removed from Federal Websites, Affecting Public Access :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/major-reports-climate-change-us-removed-websites-011-7788857.html?ref=DMDesc Sirsa Criticises Kejriwal for Neglecting Delhi's Mahatma Gandhi Climate Institute :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sirsa-blames-kejriwal-neglect-delhi-climate-institute-011-4118667.html?ref=DMDesc

UN Declares First Famine in Middle East But Saudis Keep Quiet| Netanyahu Says Will Destroy Gaza If..

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. #GazaFamine #UNReport #StarvationCrisis #Palestine #GazaUnderSiege #HumanitarianCrisis #Blockade #MiddleEast #Israel #UNWarning #HungerCrisis #GlobalJustice #SaveGaza #PalestinianLives #UNAlert #GazaStarvation #MuslimNationsSilent #BreakingNews #WorldCrisis #IPCReport #HumanRights #FamineDeclared #Gaza ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

Colombia Terror Attack: 17 Killed As Colombia Hit By DEADLIEST Attack | ‘Police Helicopter Downed’

Colombia has been rocked by one of its deadliest coordinated attacks in recent years, leaving at least 17 people dead. Authorities say dissidents of the defunct FARC rebels launched two brutal strikes: a car bomb outside a military aviation school in Cali and a drone attack on a police helicopter in Antioquia. At least 12 police officers were killed in the helicopter attack, which targeted personnel eradicating coca leaf crops, the raw material for cocaine. Another five lives were lost in the car bomb blast, which also injured more than 30 people. President Gustavo Petro initially blamed the Gulf Clan drug cartel but later pointed to FARC dissidents as key perpetrators. The violence underscores Colombia’s deepening security crisis as drug cartels and rebel remnants escalate attacks. The United Nations recently reported coca cultivation reached record highs, fueling tensions across the country. #Colombia #FARC #CarBomb #HelicopterAttack #Cali #Antioquia #TerrorAttack #DrugCartel #CocaCrops #NarcoWars #BreakingNews #LatinAmerica #SecurityCrisis #GlobalNews #Violence #ColombiaAttacks #FARCDissidents #CocaineTrade #PoliceKilled #WorldNews ~ED.102~HT.408~
