Trump MELTDOWN After Xi-Putin-Modi Bond Sends Shockwaves | Trump Declares He LOST India & Russia

Former U.S. President Donald Trump reacted sharply to the show of unity between China, Russia, and India at the SCO Summit, declaring that India and Russia appear “lost to deepest, darkest China.” His remarks come after Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi as chief guests at an event marking 80 years since WWII. India hit back after Trump’s adviser Peter Navarro accused “Brahmins” of profiteering from Russian oil, calling the claims “inaccurate and misleading.” Growing tariffs and tensions now strain U.S.-India relations further. #TrumpOnChina #XiPutinModi #SCOsummit #TrumpVsChina #IndiaUSRelations #RussiaChinaIndia #TrumpRemarks #Geopolitics #USIndiaTensions #TrumpNews #XiPutinAlliance #ChinaRussiaIndia #ModiPutinXi #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews #SCO2025 #TrumpOnIndia #IndiaRejectsNavarro #TradeWarIndiaUS #TrumpVsModi #TrumpVsXi #TrumpVsPutin #USChinaTensions #TrumpQuotes #DarkestChina #IndiaRussiaChina #TrumpIndiaTariffs #SCOUnity #WorldPolitics #TrumpResponse ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~

Trump Wastes Millions To Welcome Putin But Nobel Prize Mission Fails | Trump’s Nobel Ambition Looms?

On August 15, 2025, Donald Trump staged a dramatic red-carpet welcome for Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, hoping to cement his legacy as a global peacemaker. The high-stakes summit, costing millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars, ended without a ceasefire or territorial agreement, dashing Trump’s hopes of securing the Nobel Peace Prize. While Trump hailed “great progress,” critics slammed the event as a costly photo-op that boosted Putin’s global image without concessions. The Nobel ambition looms large—Trump himself admitted only Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky can decide the outcome. But Zelensky, absent from the talks, branded the summit a “failure,” warning peace must not come at Ukraine’s expense. For now, Trump’s Nobel dreams hang by a thread, dependent entirely on Zelensky’s approval of any deal. #TrumpPutinSummit #AlaskaSummit #TrumpNews #PutinNews #Zelensky #UkraineWar #TrumpNobel #PeacePrize #TrumpPutin #AnchorageSummit #USRussia #Geopolitics #TrumpUkraine #BidenVsTrump #WorldNews #UkraineCrisis #Trump2025 #PutinMeeting #DiplomacyFail #NobelPeacePrize ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Russia Reveals Putin’s Top 3 Demands Before Alaska Summit | Will Trump Bow To Putin’s Demands? [Video]

Russia Reveals Putin’s Top 3 Demands Before Alaska Summit | Will Trump Bow To Putin’s Demands?

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership. Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law. #Trump #Putin #AlaskaSummit #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #RussiaUkraine #Zelenskyy #Crimea #NATO #Geopolitics #InternationalLaw #Kyiv #USPolitics #Moscow #PeaceTalks #WarNews #Diplomacy #TerritorialDispute #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~
