TRUMP TARIFF BLITZ | 20–30% Tariff THREATS Sent to 6 More Countries in Fiery Move [Video]

TRUMP TARIFF BLITZ | 20–30% Tariff THREATS Sent to 6 More Countries in Fiery Move

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions. #TrumpTariffs #TradeWar #BreakingNews #TariffShock #GlobalTrade #AmericaFirst #TrumpTradePolicy #SupplyChainCrisis #TariffUpdate #TradeTensions #TruthSocial #Iraq #Libya #Algeria #Brunei #Philippines #Moldova #USForeignPolicy #GlobalMarkets #EconomicPolicy #Trump2025 #TariffLetter #August1Deadline #TrumpNews #TradeDisruption #RetaliationRisk #Geopolitics #UnilateralTariffs Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

South China Sea BREAKING:Japan Sends Warships To Philippines To ‘Counter’ China’s Growing Aggression

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China. #JapanPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ChinaTensions #AbukumaDestroyers #NavalDeal #GeopoliticsAsia #USAllies #JapanDefense #PhilippinesNavy #TokyoManila #MilitaryExports #AntiChinaStrategy #MaritimeSecurity #AsiaSecurity #BeijingAggression #SeaPower #JapanNews #PhilippinesNews #WarshipsTransfer #ChinaExpansion ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

300,000 Could Die? Japan Fears ‘Doomsday’ Nankai Megaquake | Tsunami Prophecy Triggers Mass Panic [Video]

300,000 Could Die? Japan Fears ‘Doomsday’ Nankai Megaquake | Tsunami Prophecy Triggers Mass Panic

Japan is on high alert as government officials warn of an imminent "Nankai Trough megaquake" that could killnearly 300,000 people. A recent seismic risk assessment puts the probability of a magnitude 8+ earthquake at 75–82% within the next 30 years. The quake would likely be followed by devastating tsunamis. The undersea Nankai Trough has a long history of producing catastrophic seismic events every 100–200 years—the last occurred in 1946. Public fears intensified after a 1999 manga by famed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki resurfaced, eerily predicting a massive rupture between Japan and the Philippines. The Japan Meteorological Agency has dismissed such claims as unscientific, yet growing panic has led to travel cancellations. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has rolled out a new national plan to bolster infrastructure and emergency response, urging citizens to brace for a worst-case scenario. The looming danger poses one of the gravest threats to Japan’s national security in decades. #JapanEarthquake #NankaiTrough #TsunamiWarning #SeismicRisk #Megaquake #JapanDisasterPrep #EarthquakeAlert #DisasterRisk #TsunamiAlert #JapanNews #BreakingNews #2025Alert #SeismicActivity #NaturalDisaster #JapanTsunami #EarthquakePrediction #EmergencyPreparedness #RyoTatsuki #DisasterForecast #PublicSafety

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~

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught [Video]

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal. The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks. However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve. #RussiaUkraineWar #PatriotSystem #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Zelenskyy #Putin #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation [Video]

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~
