'A head of state so volatile': Ex-PM Deve Gowda's scathing attack on Trump; praises PM Modi's 'firm stand'
Friday, 1 August 2025 () Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda has strongly condemned US President Donald Trump's recent remarks describing India's economy as "dead," calling them baseless and ill-tempered. Gowda praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for standing firm against US pressure and prioritizing India's national interests. He defended India's economic performance and criticized opposition leaders echoing Trump's sentiments.
India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

In a jaw-dropping move, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the deployment of two nuclear submarines following alarming threats from ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The sudden military maneuver has raised global eyebrows, triggering fears of escalating tensions between two nuclear powers.
Medvedev, known for his provocative rhetoric, reportedly issued a statement deemed “inappropriate” and “dangerous” by U.S. defense officials. Trump responded with decisive action, stating that the repositioning of nuclear submarines was "on the basis of safety for our people." With Russian-American relations on the edge and nuclear capabilities at play, experts warn of a dangerous new chapter in the already strained geopolitical arena. Trump’s bold decision signals a return to Cold War-era brinkmanship, with nuclear readiness once again at the center of world affairs. What exactly did Medvedev say—and what could come next?
