Rubio Meets China's Wang Yi As Trump Tariffs IGNITE Asia Trade WAR | ASEAN Tensions EXPLODE | Video

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains. Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun. #Rubio #WangYi #USChinaTensions #TradeWar #ASEAN #IndoPacific #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTrade #AsiaSummit #KualaLumpur #GlobalEconomy #MarcoRubio #ChinaPolicy #USForeignPolicy #TariffWar #BilateralTalks #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #EastAsiaSummit #WTO ~GR.124~HT.408~

During an Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump lashed out at NBC’s Peter Alexander over a question about a $400 million private jet gifted by Qatar.

Trump To WARN 12 Countries In Secret Trade Letters | White House Teases 'Bold Moves' For American…

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure ā€œthe best deals for the American people and the American worker.ā€ The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time. #TrumpTrade #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseBriefing #TradeDeal #AmericanJobs #EconomicNationalism #TradeBlitz #12Countries #GlobalEconomy #TrumpPolicy #USForeignPolicy #PresidentialLetters #TradeWar #AmericaFirst #PressConference #LeavittStatement #USTradeUpdate #TrumpMoves #Geopolitics #InternationalTrade ~HT.410~ED.194~

DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ā€˜I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row [Video]

DALAI LAMA SHOCKS CHINA: ā€˜I May Live Beyond 130!’ | Dalai Lama Drops BOMB on Succession Row

s the 14th Dalai Lama celebrates his 90th birthday, the long-simmering issue of his succession has erupted, placing India and China in a diplomatic standoff. Speaking to followers during long-life prayers in McLeod Ganj, the Tibetan spiritual leader expressed his hope to live beyond 130 years to continue serving humanity. However, the focus has sharply shifted to the political and spiritual battle over who will be his successor. The Dalai Lama has unequivocally stated that his next incarnation will be born in a "free country," a clear rejection of any successor chosen or approved by the Chinese government. This declaration reignites a major point of contention for Beijing, which insists the process must adhere to "Chinese laws and historical practice." This has prompted a stern warning from China's Foreign Ministry, cautioning India to avoid "interference" in Tibet-related matters that could damage fragile bilateral ties between the two Asian giants. India, which granted asylum to the Dalai Lama in 1959 after he fled a failed uprising in Tibet, has maintained a consistent position. New Delhi has stressed that the matter of succession is a religious one and that only the Dalai Lama and his trust have the right to decide. This stance has not appeased Beijing. The situation leaves the Tibetan community in a precarious position, with widespread fears that China will attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to legitimize and tighten its authoritarian control over Tibet. The Dalai Lama's firm stance, India's diplomatic tightrope walk, and China's assertive warnings have set the stage for a major geopolitical flashpoint. #DalaiLama #IndiaChinaRelations #Tibet #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Dharamshala #Geopolitics #China #LatestNews #WorldNews Also Read Dalai Lama’s 90th Birthday Message: Altruism, Wisdom, And Hope For The Future :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/dalai-lama-s-90th-birthday-message-altruism-wisdom-and-hope-for-the-future-7792751.html?ref=DMDesc India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc

Japan Earthquake Prediction | July 5 Megaquake Sends Shockwaves around the Globe | Oneindia

The Japan Earthquake Prediction scare, driven by a reissued manga comic, has triggered travel concerns across Asia. As July 5, 2025 nears, fear of a megaquake is gripping the public, even though scientists have firmly stated that such predictions are not possible. The Japanese government warns of a high probability of a quake in the Nankai Trough in the next 30 years, but this Japan Earthquake Prediction is causing unnecessary alarm. From empty airports to grounded flights, the impact is already visible. While the Japan Earthquake Prediction might be fictional, Japan’s seismic history is very real — and so is the need for preparedness, not panic. #JapanEarthquakePrediction #MegaquakeFears #ScienceNotSuperstition #StayPrepared #NankaiTroughAlert ~HT.410~PR.100~PR.282~
