Pakistan’s repeated threats over the Indus Waters Treaty appear to have little effect, as India remains firm on its stance. Despite Shehbaz Sharif’s push for treaty resumption following visits by Asim Munir and Bilawal Bhutto, Delhi signals strong diplomatic and strategic resolve, leaving Pakistan’s posturing largely ineffective. #ShehbazSharif #IndusWatersTreaty #PakistanThreat #IndiaPakistanTensions #IndusTreatyDispute #ShehbazSharifWarning #PakistanPushIndia #IndusWaterConflict #IndiaStrongStance #PakistanDiplomacy #WaterDispute #IndusRiverTreaty #PakIndiaRelations #ShehbazSharifNews #IndusTreatyUpdate Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Pahalgam Attack Happened Because Of Destabilisation In Kashmir :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-pahalgam-attack-happened-because-of-destabilisation-in-kashmir-7792351.html?ref=DMDesc Did Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Say ‘I Condom’ While Reacting to Israel-Iran Conflict?

Putin holds Call with Modi & Xi Jinping | BRICS Nations COUNTER Trump’s Tariff Threat | BRICS Vs U.S

As Trump imposes sweeping tariffs on India and China, leaders Modi, Xi, and Putin are coordinating a strategic response. Modi and Putin held a phone call to review bilateral ties, with Trump accusing India of funding Russia’s war via oil trade. Xi also spoke with Putin, urging diplomacy with the U.S. but slamming Trump’s “bully” tactics. The growing BRICS unity signals a serious counterweight to Washington’s tariff war, as all three powers challenge what they call unfair and illegal U.S. trade pressure. #TrumpTariffs #ModiPutin #XiJinping #BRICS #USIndiaTensions #ChinaRussiaIndia #Geopolitics #GlobalTradeWar #USChinaTensions #IndiaRussiaTies #TariffWar #TrumpVsBRICS #OilTrade #TradeRetaliation #ModiXiPutin #NewColdWar #PutinCalls #G20Politics #BreakingNews #DiplomaticPushback #WTOViolation #UNCharter #IndoRussiaRelations #USChinaConflict #TrumpTradePolicy #GlobalDiplomacy #SouthSouthAlliance #EnergyPolitics #TariffShowdown #TrumpAccuses #ModiXiCall #XiPutinDialogue ~GR.124~HT.408~

Lula BLASTS Trump, Rejects “Humiliation” Of Tariff Talks As U.S Slaps 50% Duties On Brazil Goods

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response. Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only. #Lula #Trump #Brazil #TradeWar #Tariffs #WTO #BRICS #USBrazilRelations #Sovereignty #Diplomacy #NoHumiliation #50PercentTariff #ReutersInterview #EconomicSovereignty #TradeDiplomacy #GlobalTrade #LatinAmerica #StrategicMinerals #RespectInDiplomacy #TradeCrisis ~HT.318~ED.346~
