'It's definitely a blow': Shashi Tharoor reacts to Trump's 50% tariff on India; asserts it's not a 'good news'
Thursday, 7 August 2025 () Shashi Tharoor has criticised the US imposition of a 25% tariff on India's crude oil imports from Russia, bringing the total tariff on Indian goods to 50%. He warned that this will make Indian products less competitive in the US market compared to countries with lower tariffs. The ministry of external affairs also expressed its disapproval of the US decision.
In a scathing rebuke, top Trump aide Stephen Miller has accused India of "financing Russia’s war in Ukraine" by continuing to import oil from Moscow. Speaking on Fox News, Miller expressed alarm over India’s near-parity with China in buying Russian crude — calling it an “astonishing fact.”...

President Trump is set to host the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House on Friday in a bid to broker a historic peace deal. The talks aim to revive a stalled March 2025 draft agreement and end the decades-long conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. U.S. officials believe a successful framework could stabilize the South Caucasus. Trump’s move is seen as part of his ongoing quest for a Nobel Peace Prize and a major post-presidency diplomatic win.

President Donald Trump has unveiled Apple’s staggering $100 billion expansion plan in the U.S., raising its total investment pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. The Oval Office announcement follows months of tariff threats from Trump, who recently floated a 25% tax on foreign-made Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared alongside Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and presented a symbolic gold-based souvenir to mark the occasion. While the investment will expand Apple’s U.S. supply chain, it still falls short of Trump’s demand to manufacture iPhones domestically.
Cook noted that several components — including glass and chips — are already U.S.-made, but final assembly will stay overseas “for a while.” Experts say the move is both a savvy PR maneuver and a strategic way to sidestep future tariff risks. Apple shares closed up 5%, with suppliers like Corning and Applied Materials also surging after the blockbuster announcement.
