Trump Defends US Decision To Cancel $21m Voter Turnout Fund For India Amid Growing Controversy

US President Donald Trump defended the US decision to cancel $21M voter turnout funding for India, citing India’s high taxation and strong economy.

The move, announced by Elon Musk-led DOGE, sparked backlash in India, with the ruling BJP criticizing Congress and linking the issue to foreign influence.

Congress demanded an investigation, asserting that foreign intervention in elections is unacceptable.

The controversy continues to escalate ahead of India’s upcoming elections.

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations. #IranNuclear #UStalks #AbbasAraghchi #NuclearDiplomacy #IranUSRelations #OmanTalks #IAEA #UraniumEnrichment #IranGuarantees #USStrikes #IranRetaliation #MutualRespect #NuclearTalks2025 #IranianForeignMinister #LeMondeInterview #BallisticMissiles #IranCompensation #MiddleEastTension #TrumpIran #GlobalSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs [Video]

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs

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. #Trump #LulaDaSilva #Bolsonaro #Brazil #USBrazilRelations #TradeWar #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpNews #BolsonaroTrial #LulaVsTrump #TariffThreat #USPolitics #BrazilNews #InternationalTrade #GlobalTensions #TrumpSpeech #TradeFeud #BolsonaroSupport #TrumpBolsonaro #LulaResponse ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~

Is Vivek Ramaswamy Replacing Elon Musk At Doge? Who Are the Front runners for DOGE'S Top Position?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next. #VivekRamaswamy #ElonMusk #DOGE #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #MuskExit #GovernmentEfficiency #Layoffs #DogeNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #FutureOfDoge #VivekAtDoge #Trump2025 #BureaucracyReform #DogeLeadership #USGovernment #RamaswamyComeback #TechInPolitics
