Trump Hails U.S. Comeback in State Address

President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to declare what he described as a historic national revival, portraying the United States as a country that has regained momentum under his leadership. Despite opinion polls indicating that many Americans remain dissatisfied with both the direction of the country and his presidency, Trump showed no sign of adjusting course. With midterm elections approaching, the nearly two-hour speech functioned as both a defense of his record and a mobilization effort aimed at energizing his political base, while sharply criticizing Democrats. The address featured a series of carefully staged moments designed for maximum impact. Early in the evening, Trump acknowledged members of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team seated in the gallery. As they raised their gold medals, lawmakers from both parties stood in applause, with Republicans chanting […]

India, EU seal landmark trade deal to slash tariffs on most goods

India and the European Union have reached a landmark trade agreement that will sharply cut or eliminate tariffs on most goods, opening up India’s vast market and deepening ties between the two economies. The pact aims to reduce duties on 96.6 percent of traded goods by value and is expected to double EU exports to India by 2032 while saving European companies about 4 billion euros in customs duties.​ Under the deal, the EU will phase out tariffs on 99.5 percent of goods imported from India over seven years, including marine products, leather, textiles, chemicals, rubber, base metals and gems and jewellery.

Trump’s Greenland climbdown eases tension but future still unclear

U.S. President Donald Trump has backed away from using tariffs or military force to push his controversial plan to acquire Greenland from Denmark, easing fears of a major transatlantic rift. After weeks of threats, he dropped the tariff idea and hinted that a preliminary agreement over the Arctic territory could be reached instead.​ Trump’s bid to gain control of Greenland, a Danish territory and key NATO outpost, had alarmed European allies who saw it as a direct challenge to an alliance that has underpinned Western security since World War Two. Following talks at the World Economic Forum in Davos with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump voiced optimism about a deal that would secure a U.S. missile defence site and access to critical minerals while countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.​ European stock markets steadied on the news, […]

Trump vows tariffs on eight European nations over Greenland

US President Donald Trump has vowed to impose escalating tariffs on eight European countries in a bid to pressure Denmark into allowing the United States to purchase Greenland. In a Truth Social post, he announced that a 10 percent tariff on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will begin on February 1.​ Trump said the tariffs would rise to 25 percent on June 1 and remain in place “until a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland.” He argued that Greenland’s strategic location and natural resources are vital to US national security and suggested he would not rule out tougher measures if Europe continues to oppose American control of the territory.​ European governments and Denmark, which has sovereignty over Greenland, have rejected previous US overtures and insist […]

Trump’s Iran tariff threat risks reopening China rift

US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Iran is raising fears of a renewed rift with China, Tehran’s biggest commercial partner. Analysts say the move could drag Beijing back into a trade confrontation with Washington just as both sides were trying to stabilise ties.​ Trump announced on Monday that his administration is preparing the new tariffs as part of efforts to punish Iran over its crackdown on protests and to choke off the country’s oil revenues. The proposed measure would hit major buyers of Iranian crude and goods, including China, India and several countries in Asia.​ China has repeatedly criticised unilateral US sanctions and defended its energy and trade links with Iran as legitimate under international law. Beijing is also a key player in Iran’s oil, infrastructure and technology sectors […]

Trump Signs Order Cutting Tariffs on Beef, Coffee, and Other Essential Imports

President Donald Trump signed an order exempting agricultural imports such as beef, bananas, coffee, tomatoes, and more from US tariffs, effective Thursday, to mitigate cost-of-living pressures. This move comes as American voters face rising prices, especially for beef and coffee, which have jumped roughly 20% this year due to climate shocks and disrupted trade. The tariff exemptions also include avocados, coconuts, and pineapples—products not grown in the US in sufficient quantity. Coffee industry leaders praise the decision, saying it will stabilize prices for consumers and secure supply for businesses. The order follows new trade deals with Argentina, Guatemala, Ecuador, and El Salvador, which also benefit from tariff waivers for certain agricultural goods. While Trump’s administration maintains tariffs on some items to address perceived unfair trade practices, these exemptions specifically target commodities critical for domestic demand and affordability. Policymakers acknowledge that […]

Trump Eyes ‘Great Deal’ with China Ahead of High-Stakes APEC Summit

As anticipation builds ahead of a pivotal U.S.-China meeting, former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that he expects to seal a “great deal” with Chinese President Xi Jinping—one that could reshape trade relations between the world’s two largest economies. Speaking at a business luncheon on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, Trump described the expected deal as “something very exciting for everybody,” emphasizing that resolving tensions would be far better than “fighting and going through all sorts of problems.” The comments come as Trump prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Xi since launching his second trade war against Beijing. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday in Busan, is expected to focus on tariff reductions, fentanyl production control, and rare earth mineral exports—issues central to the strained U.S.-China relationship. Trade Tensions, Tariffs, and […]

Trump Condemns Canada Over Pulled Ad, Vows Retaliation

Despite Canada's move to withdraw a controversial advertisement, US President Donald Trump has accused the country of "dirty" tactics, escalating a diplomatic dispute that halted trade talks. The conflict began when the Canadian province of Ontario launched an ad campaign criticizing tariffs. The ad featured a clip of former US President Ronald Reagan warning about the dangers of trade wars. President Trump called the ad "fake" and "crooked," claiming it misrepresented Reagan's views, and announced he was ending trade negotiations with Canada. In response, Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated the ad would be pulled on Monday to allow talks to restart. However, President Trump remained critical, stating the ad should have been removed immediately and not aired during the first games of the World Series, which features the Canadian Toronto Blue Jays. “Canada got caught cheating on a commercial,” Trump […]

China Condemns US ‘Double Standards’ Over New Tariff Threat

China has accused the United States of applying “double standards” after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose an additional 100 percent tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1. In a statement released on Sunday, a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Commerce described Trump’s remarks as “a typical example of double standards,” criticizing Washington’s approach to trade relations. Trump had announced on Friday that the new tariffs would be imposed in response to what he called China’s “extraordinarily aggressive” export restrictions on rare-earth minerals — materials crucial for global technology and manufacturing industries. He also hinted that his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month might be canceled. Beijing said the United States has intensified economic pressure on China since September, warning that such actions have damaged mutual trust and disrupted trade negotiations between both nations.
