Wednesday, 6 August 2025 () Brazilian President Lula da Silva plans to challenge Donald Trump's 50% tariffs by contacting global leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping. Despite tensions, Lula will use the WTO to defend Brazil's interests. He refuted Trump's justification for the tariffs, viewing it as an attack on Brazil's sovereignty.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has delivered a fiery rebuke to the United States, accusing Washington of aiding a coup in Brazil and using economic threats as political weapons. Speaking at a Workers’ Party event in Brasília, Lula condemned the 50% tariff threat from President...

Lula Vs Trump: Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, slamming his threat to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods as “unacceptable blackmail.” The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil dropping legal charges against former president Jair Bolsonaro over his alleged coup attempt. In a defiant televised address, Lula vowed that no foreign leader would dictate terms to Brazil, calling Trump’s move a grave assault on national sovereignty.

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target.
The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary.

Brazil’s political crisis just went global. Former President Jair Bolsonaro has been placed under house arrest by Brazil’s Supreme Court for allegedly plotting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election. But the arrest has sparked international outrage — especially from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who blasted the move as a “witch hunt” targeting one of his closest allies.
In retaliation, the U.S. administration has imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, linking it directly to Bolsonaro’s legal case. Trump and U.S. officials are calling out Brazil’s judiciary for “silencing” Bolsonaro and demanding that he be allowed to speak publicly.

At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it “Biden’s war” and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, “I haven’t heard that... but I’m here to get us out.” He claimed the war would’ve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administration’s continued funding of Ukraine’s military, which he described as “scraping the bottom of the barrel.”
Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan “within days.” The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trump’s statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate.

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region.

Donald Trump has strongly hinted that Vice President J.D. Vance may be the chosen heir to the MAGA movement. At a White House event on Tuesday, Trump said Vance was “most likely” to carry the MAGA torch forward, adding, “In all fairness, he’s the Vice President.” Trump also floated the idea of Secretary of State Marco Rubio teaming up with Vance in the future, though he stopped short of making a 2028 endorsement.
It’s the clearest signal yet that Trump sees Vance as a future GOP frontrunner. Trump’s remarks come amid swirling speculation about his own political future—just hours after he told CNBC he would “probably not” run again. Despite the constitutional ban, he continues to tease a third term. Trump’s carefully calculated comments are fueling a storm of speculation over succession, power plays, and the long-term leadership of the Republican Party and MAGA base.

U.S. President Donald Trump was left scrambling when asked if the United States still imports uranium and fertilisers from Russia—despite threatening India over its purchases of Russian crude oil. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said, dodging the question during a press briefing. His remarks came as India lashed out at what it calls Western hypocrisy, citing billions of dollars worth of U.S. imports from Russia, including enriched uranium, palladium, and fertilisers.
Trump has warned of “substantial” tariff hikes on Indian imports, criticizing New Delhi’s Russian energy ties. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also criticised Trump for giving China “a pass” while risking ties with a major ally like India. The contradiction is fuelling diplomatic tensions and raising questions over U.S. trade ethics in the Ukraine war era. India’s response underscores growing frustration in the Global South over selective enforcement of geopolitical pressure.

Fears of a major global conflict are mounting as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping showcase their growing military alliance in the face of rising tensions with the United States. The display of joint strength comes just as U.S. President Donald Trump orders nuclear submarines into strategic positions near Russian waters — a move Moscow calls a dangerous provocation.

As Trump ramps up aggressive foreign policies in his second term, fears rise over a potential global conflict. A growing trilateral alliance between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi could present a historic challenge to U.S. power. With Russia’s nuclear might, China’s economic dominance, and India’s rising strategic presence, analysts warn this bloc could break NATO's influence. Trump’s rhetoric, including attacks on India’s economy and NATO tensions, risks isolating the U.S. just as this new alliance gains ground—pushing the world closer to a possible WW3 scenario.

Heavy rains and flash floods have killed at least 30 people in Beijing and Hebei, with Beijing’s Miyun district alone reporting 28 deaths. Landslides and rising river levels have intensified the crisis, prompting President Xi Jinping to order “all-out” rescue operations. Over 80,000 residents have been evacuated, and 136 villages are without power. With over 543mm of rainfall recorded, infrastructure damage is extensive. Authorities have issued top-level flood alerts as emergency teams race to prevent further casualties and devastation.

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.
