The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the âDeep State.â Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific.
Acting NSAMarco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50.
Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSCâs original purpose.
This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trumpâs second term so far.

Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?'
Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israelâs âsystematic targeting of journalists,â accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gazaâs devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israelâs conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the worldâs most dangerous conflict zones.

Hours before President Zelenskyâs White House visit, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made waves by suggesting Ukraine and Russia must consider concessions for a peace deal. His remarks come after reports that Putin demanded control of Donbas in exchange for ending the war. Zelensky, backed by Europe, has firmly rejected any territorial compromise, repeating âNo land for invaders.â While Rubio urged diplomacy, he warned peace may remain elusive, and without an agreement, the warâalready entering its fourth yearâcould bring more deaths and consequences for Russia.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macronâs bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September â making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestineâs 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macronâs decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a âreward for terrorâ and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it âreckless.â Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it âhistoric.â Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as âreckless,â while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it âshamefulâ and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.

US SCO Relations are in the spotlight as leaders gather in Tianjin, China, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. Though Washington is not a member, US SCO Relations continue to shape discussions, from trade tariffs to military standoffs. For India, the 50% US tariff and criticism over Russian oil imports highlight the tension in US SCO Relations. For China, Americaâs containment strategies and Indo-Pacific moves cast a shadow over regional cooperation. As Russia, India, and China explore alternatives, the silent influence of US SCO Relations reminds the world that Washington remains a decisive factor, even outside the room.

Nikki Haley has sharply criticized Donald Trumpâs proposed tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhiâs Russian oil purchases, calling the move "strategically dangerous." In a viral post on âXâ, the former UN Ambassador warned Trump not to âburn a relationship with a strong ally like Indiaâ while giving China a tariff pause. Haley emphasized the importance of U.S.-India ties amid rising Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific, exposing deep divisions within the GOP on trade and foreign policy strategy.

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honoursâwhile simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manilaâs exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the âglobal commons.â
The joint drill coincided with Marcosâ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didnât name China, Beijingâs rebuke of âthird-party interferenceâ left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal Indiaâs rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of Chinaâs fiercest regional rivalsâfirmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

Indiaâs Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trumpâs proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modiâs meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trumpâs recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together.
The Philippines also supported Indiaâs call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined Indiaâs growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington.

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting âshadowingâ vessels and prompting Beijingâs PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activityâas three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoalâcoincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.âs state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies.
China condemned the move, accusing Manila of ârallying external powersâ and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quadâs maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics.

Donald Trump has revealed his next high-profile âcriminalâ target, turning his fury on former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie just days after the FBI raided the home and office of his ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton. Trump mocked Christie in a fiery social media rant, accusing him of lying about the George Washington Bridge scandal and calling for the case to be reopened. The former presidentâs tirade came as Bolton remains under investigation for alleged mishandling of classified documents linked to his 2020 memoir, which Trump previously denounced as a national security threat. Trumpâs declaration that âno one is above the lawâ signals an intensifying campaign of political revenge against former allies who broke ranks during his presidency. With Christie running as one of Trumpâs fiercest critics in 2024, the confrontation marks yet another explosive twist in the ex-presidentâs battle with his old inner circle.
