India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties.

In a shocking revelation, Israel has reportedly requested the United States' assistance to push forward a “relocation” plan for Gaza’s civilian population, according to Axios. Mossad chief David Barnea visited Washington and allegedly asked U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to persuade countries like Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia to absorb “hundreds of thousands” of Gazans. The controversial plan appears to align with Tel Aviv’s long-standing siege and military campaign against the coastal enclave, which intensified drastically since October 2023.
The Israeli regime’s ongoing war, supported by unprecedented U.S. military and political aid, has drawn accusations of genocide and population cleansing. Meanwhile, despite Israeli claims of military victories, Hamas continues to resist fiercely with deep-rooted support from the people. The latest report underscores an alarming strategy for population displacement — one that is likely to ignite intense international outrage if confirmed. Is the world witnessing an engineered ethnic cleansing plan unfold?

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.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.
