I will stop it if India-Pak conflict starts again: Trump repeats his claims

US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he stopped the India and Pakistan war from going nuclear by threatening to impose tariffs and refusing to do any trade deals if they did not agree to a ceasefire. Trump's latest comments came on Wednesday during a cabinet meeting at the White House, where he also claimed that he had spoken with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am talking to a very terrific man, Narendra Modi. I said, What's going on with you and Pakistan?' The hatred was tremendous. This has been going on for a hell of a long time, like, sometimes with different names for hundreds of years, the US president said. I said, I don't want to make a trade deal with you You guys are going to end up in a nuclear war I said, call me back tomorrow. But we're not going to do any deals with you, or we're going to put tariffs on you that are so high, your head's going to spin, he added. Within five hours, it was done. Maybe it starts again, but I will stop it if it does, Trum

Trump extends influence over Washington by taking Union Station from Amtrak

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that his department is taking management of Union Station, the main transportation hub in Washington, away from Amtrak, in another example of how the federal government is exerting its power over the nation's capital. Duffy made the announcement in a statement before he was to join Amtrak President Roger Harris at Union Station for the launch of the NextGen Acela, the rail service's new high-speed train. The secretary said Union Station, located within walking distance of the US Capitol, had fallen into disrepair when it should be a point of pride for the city. By reclaiming station management, we will help make this city safe and beautiful at a fraction of the cost, Duffy said. Duffy's words echoed President Donald Trump, who said last week that he wants $2 billion from Congress to beautify Washington as part of his crackdown on the city. The Republican president has sent thousands of National Guard troops and federal law ...

Russian forces advance into eighth region of Ukrainian as peace talks stall

Russia's invading forces have broken into an eighth region of Ukraine, a Ukrainian military official said Wednesday, seeking to capture more ground in their three-year war of attrition as US-led peace efforts struggle to gain traction. Some Russian troops have entered the villages of Novoheorhiivka and Zaporizke in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, a major Ukrainian industrial centre next to the Donetsk region where fierce fighting has been taking place, Victor Trehubov, spokesman for local ground forces, told The Associated Press by phone. Russia's Defence Ministry claimed earlier this month that its forces had taken the two villages. But the Russians have not entrenched or built fortifications there, and fighting is continuing in the villages, Trehubov said. Ukrainian troops are under severe strain as they try to hold back Russia's bigger army. Military analysts say there is no sign of a looming collapse of Ukrainian defences and note that Russian forces have been unable to take

Delhi traders call US tariff hike temporary, urge govt support for exports

Delhi's trade associations on Wednesday expressed concern over the US decision to impose a 50 per cent tariff on Indian goods, but said the impact would largely be temporary as India would explore alternative markets and strengthen domestic competitiveness. The Federation of Sadar Bazar Traders' Association (FESTA) termed the step "unfair and unwise". "Tariffs will create a situation of trade war between the two countries," FESTA Chairman Paramjit Singh Pamma said. They appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give maximum relief to traders in GST and ensure low-interest loans so that domestic products can remain competitive. The Gandhi Nagar Market Association described the disruption as temporary. "This is only a short-term problem as our exports will be routed to other countries," said the association's President Naresh Sikka, adding that traders are confident better alternatives will be found under the Prime Minister's policies. Additionally, Khan Market Traders' Associatio
